Ever see a hose leak through it's cords ?


New one was "MADE IN THE USA"...


Whodda thunk it ?

 

Where was the old one made ?

 

It's the original one from Fuso. Made in 2006

 

It is getting bad when we get excited about seeing a Made in USA label.
On a good note I have been seeing quite a few lately.Not nearly enough though

 

Heck, I'm excited to see "made in Mexico" as well. I've said it before, at least it's not made in china.. A lot of mexican made products are still made relatively well, by comparison.

 

Hung the ex rice farmer probably thinks he is doing really good to make shiny parts. Though nobody in the entire plant has a clue what it is.(but it is shiny)

 

Modified a spare ashtray so I could mount a rocker switch for the manual on/off control of the electric fans.....when I get it finally installed.

Lots of pics and info here....

Hey, TMan, where did you get the cooling fan from? Just noticed that. Does that have more blades than our OEM ones? How about the blade pitch angle? Designed to pull more air?

 

It came stock on the truck......


Japanese truck companies make some good stuff.....

 

That 3/4" torque wrench, where did you source that from? Non of the parts houses loan out a 3/4"; 1/2" is their largest. Going to check the rental yard next.
Harbor freight caries a 3/4 drive TW, but 300 ft lbs is the max

 

As I said before, I use a 3/4 breaker bar, a piece of pipe, a fish scale if I want to be precise, and my calculator.

 

The 4BTs in our forklifts run dang near wide open for 8-9 hours a day.
Some have over 6,000 hours on them.

In the 16 years with my company I know of two turbo failures.

 

Bought this truck (my first cummins) in December.
Previous owner said he didn't know if KDP was fixed or not.

Truck is a 92 with 220,xxx on broken odometer so most certainly much higher.

Pin is recessed a fat 16th or slim 8th inch.

Going to make a tab and lock tight all the other housing screws.

 

It's walking. Tab it and you're golden. Don't forget to deal with the housing screws which are allowing the slight motion that makes it walk.

 

No amount of tabbing will stop your pin from recessing. It will stop it from walking forward into the timing case. You may find a couple bolts hard to get to without some creative tool making.
