I'll make sure it's gone before he gets here!

I did one last adjustment. I added a sheave to the water pump pulley and another belt to run the fan. I was told that the fan has full rpm load of 12 hp, and that a single belt of that size running that speed was good for a little less than 8 hp while still maintaining a good service factor...

They haven't made me smog it yet. I just looked on the DMV website and it says there are no smogs required on diesels yet.

This rig hits the governor a little over 55 mph. But it gets there way faster than the old motor did. One thing I like about the Cat is that it starts immediately. I'll bet the starter only cranks it over a half a revolution or so. I hadn't thought about the spare belt Brian. I'll do that...

Brian, I have noticed that bolt a few times myself. I think it held one of those little loops to fasten down electrical wires back on the 8.2 motor. I'll go out and tighten it up. One of the original problems with a belt driven fan was the fan drive I got from the donor motor stuck out way...

Who you calling old? I should be offended, but it's true, dammit.:)

Thanks guys. It's not like I was fishing for compliments or anything.:D Now I just need some cup holders.

I think I was doing 50 in a 45.:D

Hopefully this thread will just die now.

Truck is functional again. My cousin fixed up the wiring stuff and we are good to go.

We worked on it most of the day today. We were test running it and had an electrical problem. My cousin changed where he hooked up the fans and overloaded the wire. He hooked them up to the output of the 2 speed axle. Should have wired them to the battery wire coming from the alternator and...

My cousin and I worked on it this afternoon. We have almost everything in. Another 2 to 3 hours tomorrow and we should be running.

Thanks everyone. I've got customers that have been waiting very patiently through this.

I have only myself to blame is the trouble. When amateurs do these things, stuff like this happens.

You can say that again.:cry:

I drove about 160 miles, about half of it towing the chipper the rest solo and ran about 3 hours working the boom. This is getting kind of embrassing but, here goes. I left a nut or washer or something in the intake manifold while I was changing the fuel pump or when I removed the manifold and...

Can't have everything, right?:D

Thanks Squisher. I ran about 20 gallons of diesel through it today.
