The 8th Annual Michigan Fall Oilburners Rally is offically ON!
This always a good time. Look forward to it every year. I'm gonna try my best to get one of the other guys from my sister shift to see about switching weekends with me so I can attend. And who was this guy that showed up to a truck club event on a bike? Craziness I tell you.- argve

12V cummins specs
79jasper I wonder how that could happen on a nv4500 because the 5th gear slides on the output shaft as an after the fact thing. All the other gears are inside the case. The 5th gear and the nut that holds it in place are captured on the shaft. They either encounter the speedo drive and drive...- argve

12V cummins specs
The nv4500 is a decent trans the big problem with them is the 5th gear nut backs off and once it starts there isn't much you can do to keep it on. Reason is the splines are a slip fit so they rattle around a little and it will back off even the upgraded nut. The true fix is to get a new shaft...- argve

12V cummins specs
Yep the engine in question is a rotary pump. You can reach the goals you have set with that setup but I would recommend adding the intercooler to keep the heat down so you have more usable power levels. You can do the fuel pin and injectors to get to the power levels you want. What rear gear do...- argve

The Official 2014 IDI Weekend truck rally
Looks like you guys are going to have a great time - wish we could attend but we are moving over the weekend of the 28th so our focus has to be here on the home front. But make sure you guys take tons of pictures and post them so I can visit through the internet at least.- argve

hard to start/will not start.
Yep I concur check the glow plugs for proper operation and make sure that your fuel shut off solenoid is getting good power. Do you hear a click from inside the the top cover of the injection pump? might turn the key to the on position and physically remove and reconnect the wire to FSS to...- argve

oil pressure slow to build
all of mine have lagged when first starting in the morning. Especially in the winter - this was even on fresh rebuilds. Which it should lag a little because the oil pump is mechanical so it's not pumping until the engine is turning over. As they age they will take a little longer to build...- argve

Glow plug controller
sounds like just the relay is bad not the entire controller. But as said make sure you are testing when the relay is pulled it and not cycling. the cycling can cause a digital meter to give you less than better results (they can't react quick enough).- argve

Normal C6 shift points???
Sorry I don't have a tach. so I'm clueless when it comes to when it shifts under what throttle other than mph according to my speedo- which I forgot to mention is off by a factor of 1.2 I know that when I nail it she will shift later but haven't watched it. I will try and remember tonight on my...- argve

Normal C6 shift points???
I set mine to shift early and when I say early I mean really really early. I am in 2nd at around 7 mph and hit 3rd at 15 mph. I like it to shift early because I don't haul anything other than maybe a load of firewood or groceries and I'm going for fuel mileage. but you can adjust the VRV and...- argve

Batteries draining over night
Yes using a multi-meter will tell you more information because there are some things that continue to pull current at all times like the memory for the clock on the radio. But it's not much. also if you have an underhood light and it's on, then naturally that will be pulling some current. But if...- argve

RANT: Truck starts then dies - fuel system air intrusion
Ataylor - he shouldn't have the separate filter/water catch system, with the 7.3's they have the all in one water separator / filter mounted to the engine bracket where our fuel filter goes. At least Ford did upgrade that to better system with the later designs. Jim, I'm with ya - the...- argve

leaks are quite defeating...
Eric, Long time no see. Glad to see you are still around. You can do the gaskets for the oil cooler while it's still installed - she's a messy job. Even with draining everything but can be done - I fought it once on the Enterprise. Now as for sealing up the PS leak have you tried some PS...- argve
