Yep... in the last 12? years that I've owned Cummins trucks the actual engine maintenance has only been, oil and filter, fuel filter, air filter, valve lash... uh... 1 alternator, 2 starters..... re seal 1 injection pump... uh... yep, that's it. Oh, wait.... I did own a vp truck. let's not get into that one. In about 10k miles the only thing I didn't have to replace was the flipping block.

So you got lucky and dodged the 53 block

Photobucket says I've reached my bandwidth limit and I really don't feel like paying to use that site.

On another note I figured out where to put the wheels, and have a mostly complete drawing

[RCCUMMINS89]

Can't wait to see it.

[DMan1198]

hopefully this works. It's a rough draft with no color (that's mostly because I have nothing other than highlighters to color with)

you are pretty good at drawing IMO. I'm heading out fishing today, when I get back I'm going to stare at it more and get an idea.

my 01 has a 53 block. it lived a stock life until i got it with 245K on the clock. its got 265K on it now. im waiting for it crack. its seen 60+ psi of boost many times and have spun the RPM's up pretty high. a bunch of people have told me that if it aint cracked by now, it never will. i dont believe it.

Keep trying Chris!

Gonna trynto fix my window with 1/8" plexiglass. Whats the best way to cut it?

[DMan1198]

Bandsaw I think would work well. Thanks Eric I've been practising for well over 10 years, and took a couple of art classes in school. I wish I could do better, but I'm just not there yet

Jigsaw and a couple pieces of wood to clamp the plexiglass.

[DodgeFreak]

try a torch.... lol. I'd rough cut it with a jigsaw or what ever and then perfect it with a sander.

Side note....how long would a welded 8 1\4 rear hold up to the torque of the cummins?? anyone try it??

Just had my last two wisdom teeth pulled today. I am thankful for modern dentistry practices. In and out in 45 minutes...even though I don't remember leaving, getting meds, or getting home. I "woke up" in my recliner at home. My wife took the day off to drive me to and from, and had very high hopes for me to be all loopy coming of the anesthesia...apparently it didn't happen

[cmann250]

I had mine out at 9am and I was tripping balls for the rest of the day. I could hold coherent conversations with my brother, who had his out at 10am, but not a chance with any one else

[DMan1198]

I need to get all of my wisdom teeth pulled, but I've been really lazy about setting up an appointment to get it done

[CumminsPower59]

I figured I would be all messed up but apparently not.

[ellis93]

I had mine done in highschool,they were taken out at 3:30 and I woke up (or at least woke coherent) at 7am that next day. I remember nothing between those times
