    Back around maybe 01 or 02 DD had a batch of bad pistons to get in some engines. The crown or top of the piston would debond from the frame of the piston or the part that goes around the wrist pin.If the driver in most cases shut it down when it happened it would not be a total lose.But many would drive on to the next exit and some times the top of the piston would wedge in the top of the liner side ways and the rod will go some were else.Most all other engines had same problem to some degree. I think the C12 cat was more often.

    Buyautoparts sells some great looking junk.And that is not nothen to do with cummins building process.If you get some junk turbo on your engine with a load say hot asphalt and blow a turbo a year worth of warranty ant going to buy the load or wrecker bill or engine damage done from a good looking turbo.Buying on line from some of these sites is dangerest at the least.Buy from a store that has been proven even if its more money.Any more when a driver blows a turbo so many of them want to get to the nearest truck stop and I have seen them come in with out any oil in the pan. No ones warrany will help you then.

    Talking about flipping butts out the window I have always said you don't see them flipping butts out in the weeds in front of their house.But that's how my pasture gets burnt some times.

    It can be done with out them but some times the fingers come loose from the ring that contacts with the throw out brg.The three bolts will go down in the middle of the springs and if you look down in there you will see the threaded holes.I would use them if it was me. But if you back off each bolt that holes the pressure plate to the flywheel little at a time you will be ok.But why take a change.If I remember its just corse thread 3/8 bolts

    Locked ???

    Check and see if the turbo is turned same direction.One may have a manifold that the turbo sets straight out and one may be mounted upwards some.

    But you are going backward.You want be happy after rumming the 4 valve.

    I would split to if nothen else but to replace the pilot brg.I am glad your smart enough to cover the intake with tape.I have for 40 years worked with grown men getting paid to work on trucks that will not and have never and never will cover a open intake.Most of them say they ant going to drop nothen.

    The green filter is more filteration than the red filter.It needs to be on for the smaller dirt.The red filter is like a catch big rocks.

    Put it any were you want cause its still going to have same fuel pressure.The engine does not ever use all the fuel that the supply pump pumps.Height will not hurt it either.Some of the fuel is by/passed to the tank any way and it has a fuel pressure regulator valve on it.

    Wait till you have hazmat mix up with a accident.

    The engine that uses the pointer on the front with the marks on the damper will have the pointer spot welded to the front cover so if there is no pointer there the marks may be on the flywheel.

    You will have to change to a older valve.I have done tried this for a dump trucker.I know of a few guys that wish they had the newer valve that would not stay in place. What I mean is they spent a lot of time and money for parts trying to fix the stop lights for staying on. but this was on a bobtail truck.

    On the engine with the timing marks at the bottom of the flywheel there should be a mark in the center of the housing and the flywheel will have a set of marks in degrees on it with tdc at the beginning and it should have 1/6 marked on it. The turn wheel some more to 2/5 and then 3/4 marks on the wheel.This engine could be mismatched with parts.it happens.

    That is the low air pressure sending switch for the buzzer

    I can talk to some fool that is talking to his self 1000 miles away as easy than talking to some one running with me.A lot of noise out there.

    The one on the left is a reservoir for the shutter cyl oil.The one on the right is a air compressor governor which can be replaced with the newer model of D2.To lift the cab remove the steer wheel from its shaft and slide a wood 4 by 4 thru the door opening with the doors opened and use a over head hoist.

    With 20 degrees out side and 20 min.of idling at 900 rpm it takes my engine with new thermostat about 20 miles to come up to 150 with out a load. The slower timed engines does not warm up as fast as we would like.The electronic engines with a ecm should warm faster than the mechanical engines.

    Two battery will start a mack engine but it is hard on the starter and alter.They have a shorter life

    What he said.

    This driver was getting on the big road too fast and hit the concret.It took the roof off with engine as well.The driver that runs in front of me came along just as fire trucks got there and he says the driver was still in his seat and holding the steering wheel like nothen had happened.Unhurt but shocked that he had lost control.

    If the filter housing has two big and one small oil line it would be a full flow and part 3 is and has been for 50 years 236 GB311A If its good two small lines its a by/pass and just ask for a luberfiner 500
