    MP3 player

    www.mp3car.com I was researching the mp3 thing pretty heavily back when we still had Napster and found www.mp3car.com. There is a wealth of info on this website. Many of the systems are permanent mount computer systems (in which you can easily add the gps, mp3 capability, etc. and interface...

    Aux Fuel Tank Setup- Need Help

    Kev, When I set up my aux tank I used these quick couplers (Parker NS series) and I think they are 3/8", but I would probably go 1/2" to reduce restriction if I were to do it again: http://www.parker.com/quickcouplings/Hydraulic/NS_Series.PDF These fittings are nice in that both sides seal...

    In-bed Auxiliary Tank

    Kev, These are a few pics of my setup. I designed and had the tank built here at work. I probably had more constraints than most: 1. The tank had to rest on the sliding bed. 2. The tank had to be low enough to fit under an ARE hard tonneau while resting on the sliding bed (most...

    In-bed Auxiliary Tank

    There is a 6 port switching valve available from JC Whitney made by Pollak that will effectively switch between the two tanks (just like the old chevy's and ford's). It will also provide fuel return to the tank from which the fuel was pumped and switch accordingly. This is necessary because...

    was using a komatsu excavator today.....

    I can second what LSMITH said. We used to machine some of Cummins/Consolidated Diesel Company's engine parts and if I remember correctly there was talk of a joint venture between Cummins and Komatsu. The Supplier Quality guys were talking to us one day about how strict the Quality requirements...

    Saw a Chevy 1500 6.5L Turbo Diesel

    Vaughn, I've got an 83 GMC Jimmy that is half ton and has the 6. 2L in it. Bought it at 130,000 in 93. Mine is a standard (non HD) engine and as such it does have EGR and believe me, the intake looked awful. I did replace the injection pump and injectors at 250,000 along with the transmission...

    Free Dyno Check from Cummins Southeast

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought DC bought the engines from Cummins with no warranty, so all claims are handled by DC. I guess it would be possible for the two companies to share any information in the database (VIN's, BOMBS etc. ), but I'm not sure how probable that would be. I wish...

    Steering wheel remote control adapters

    Soundgate Soundgate manufactures such goodies. Take a look at the following thread. This may be what you are looking for: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28144 I believe they run about $100 and can be obtained through Crutchfield, although you have...

    summit 4" exhaust

    The kit comes with the guillotine clamps that do crush the pipe. I picked up 3 stainless band clamps from NAPA (about $6 ea. ) and used them instead. There are two hanger/clamps that you have to use because of the incorporated hangers, but I didn't clamp them down too hard. I also painted the...

    summit 4" exhaust

    It is aluminized. I'm not sure on the muffler. There were no identifying marks that I could make out on it. It is about 18" long, 5" diameter, straight thru design with "cheese grater style" internals. I just picked up my Donaldson yesterday to install in tandem with the provided muffler. I hope...

    summit 4" exhaust

    They have both... This is a turbo back system, p/n SUM-680001. I ordered mine in mid december and just installed it on the truck. I'm very pleased with the system and performance for the price. I am going to add the Donaldson muffler to see if that reduces some of the drone at about 1950 rpm...

    Winter Weight for better traction - saw a neat idea.

    I move the AUX tank... When winter hits around here, I slide the AUX tank from the front of the bed to centered over the rear axle. It takes about 5 minutes to move the tank and resecure it. This allows me to pump in about 80 gal of diesel and easily add ~600# to the spring pack (500 fuel, and...

    Best 265/75R16's?

    Bought same tires yesterday I just had a new set of 265/75 R-16 Michelin LTX M/S installed yesterday. I went with load range E for this set, where my last set was load range C (I believe). The C range tires gave me about 90K miles, still had a little tread and had worn flat and true. This is my...
