I'm still blown away with thier service. I have bought a lot of little parts from Cummins West so they kinda know me. I called them with my engine numbers and they could not find that part on the IPL. They e-mailed me the breakdown. I took pics of the part and picked the part I though it was from the IPL and sent it back. They sent me a price and I ordered it.

It was shipped from Cummins Inc in Mephis TN and I had it 20 hours later. All this for $52.

Damn. Makes me want to put a cummins in my truck instead of a Toy diesel!

Back to the a lot of work but very little notice.


More wiring.

Con Fer

In case you ever wondered,



Yes Con Fer did put a Baffle in thier 22 gallon fuel tank.



When you put a hole in it for your sending unit, avoid the middle of the tank.

 

[D'Animal]

Im no magician so I cannot move a hole.



Weld it back shut, pressure test the tank to 12PSI (diesel) and then drill a new hole and install sending unit.

After enough poking from Mudders, I changed the nuts on my U-Bolts to self locks and cut them off.

Air Filter

Made a Mock Up of the air filter assy mount.

Looks real close.

 

[D'Animal]

So Close to fitting.

 

[mrqtipp]

Just a suggestion but you should get your gas tank lined

coming along nicely

great work

I installed the Pyrometer sensor.

I finished up the Air Filter mount. I'm waiting on the rest of the tubing to finish it up.

Cold Air intake/Snorkle base is pretty tight to the body.


The bottom picture is take standing almost behind the cab body looking forward.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

The Cummins guys in Memphis are a good group of people. I hung out with a guy from there last month. He was talking about some new products that sounded sweet.

you aren't go with an intercooler .?

Not yet.

I'm not completely sold on the Intercooler yet.

It helps keep your EGT normal which mean you do not loose HP on big hills. It does nothing to increase hp.

not directly .. but ( I like this But .. )

Lower EGT means more room for more fuel .. more fuel in a turbo diesel engine means more powa ..

So if you run a big front mounted intercooler or a top with a fan intercooler, you are always getting lower intake temps .. that drive you to lower EGT that drive again in to more room for fuel ..

Actually if you just add more " boost " ( and know boost it's relative between fuel available and engine load ) there is nothing more than boost ..

But .. ( again this But ! )

with more fuel ( that it's the main reason to run a turbo and anyind of intake temp cooler ) you are producing instant more powa ..

What? are you considering removing your JWAC for a air to air intercooler?
With the stock turbo and virgin pump, no need for a intercooler. even though your 4bta is rated for more hp than a 4bt(different pump settings due to the JWAC unit, i dont know).
