it has the wide axles, the tread width outside of tire to other one is about ten feet. the bed was widened after this rancher bought it from idaho motor pool in fruitland idaho so he could stack big bales on it to feed during the winter which he did for about ten years but after two engines...

great idea wreckclues, I wouldn't of ever thought of that. In this case it'll have to be trailered so the tower will have the insurance, also, the deck was widened to ten feet so it'll have to be done on a slow cop day around here despite being able to drive 50 miles or more and never see a...

I should re-title this thread as "my trucks obituary" !!!

yes, I considered that and it truely is next in line for that engine, a simple look at the filter can well reveal where the issue lies. In this case Will I'd have to drain all my oil out, or a lot of it, AND re-install it since I don't own it. Remember too, It is 70 miles away from me in...

I have to say that is not the case as I believe the engine managed to rotate 3 times by my best judgement, so possibly two pistons never made it thru the compression stroke but 4 did so no, besides, it has sat for two years, maybe 3! I'd like to think any diesel in the cylinder dripped out in...

here is the obituary for my truck ...... at least for now......... but first, ericp351 it was great reading your stuff, I never made it to gibraltar, just the canary is. The truck is very difficult to rotate, i got the fuel pump refreshed & calibrated, put 4,000 amps to the starter and got...

on the tm diagrams the compressor and FO pump housing have "plug, pipe" on the bottom though it isn't clear what the purpose is! I just ass-sumed i'd be able to drain the air compressor housing, that or i will suck the contaminated oil out of there as it has to have a bit of 'resevour' in...

will send pics when i get another batch. I have done injectors on cat, emd, detroit and something else so i'll persevere with this as well. yes, I am sort of guessing but as it is cold iron I only have the owners story to go by. So, I'll get a good fuel pump in there and then prep the...

It hasn't run for 2 years and i suspect it may be 2-1/2. owner says he did not see the stack smoking anything unusual, (black or white) when the engine shut down and by description was running out of fuel? I have not heard this run. I failed to look in the radiator for oil when I was there...

thanks for that, it's mid winter and contemplating getting batteries in there, purge the fuel system, drain the air compressor case and oil filters and on and on before cranking to watch for leaks under the valve cover ............... well............ i'll do the pump as you say. we have a...

good, have a fresh foot of snow here this morning, I plan on going over there wed/thur and was thinking of removing a valve cover (hot engine end) and having a look at the 'O' rings on a couple 2 or 3 injectors. Is this plausible or should I just wait till I rotate the engine and observe...

great, got it, much thx, I would of missed that half moon up against the block. the hammer and vice grips was a joke !! I was wondering if there was a hex, (allen) on the shaft to the airpump somewhere though I couldn't figure out how it'd be. (or why)

The local military store (125 miles out) has a guy who rebuilds the FO pump for the NHC250 cummins so i am heading over there this coming week to remove it. I was hoping one of you may know what 'special' tools I may need other than end wrenches, tubing wrenches, hammers and vice grips!, I...

trying to get a photo of my original S3 88 but no go yet. won't be any bs photo. I got a SS e mail saying that i've been tagged? i don't know what that means?

ok, i'll try to figure out how to edit my profile

that's encouraging, looks like everyone is closed monday, Doesn't anyone want to make money? hahahah

I think you've probably spent more time on big iron that I have. Always had respect for school education, I hawespiped it. I think the biggest generators I worked were about 850kw. except for some RR fleet gas turbine and chevron i was all electric. here's a couple pics of my issue...

STEAM?!! the Chevron Mississippi was steam, I was a JR. Eng back then, sailed as pumpman, good food but nervewracking loading the first time in Valdez where I had too much list! I worked commo in army but one 2 week ''vacation'' summer camp i fixed a water maker on the big LCT and the warrants...

thanks for all the help and ideas so far folks. On my last visit the owner wasn't there but his son who was heading out to feed found me in the ''yard'' and wondered who i was, what i was doing etc. kinda amusing of course. i took some photos and am now using a new computer and will have to...
