Quote from: Flyin6 on December 14, 2015, 10:32:46 AMHey man, don't laugh...I currently have not one but two JB weld repaired intercoolers. The one on the John Deere that was harpooned by a locust tree, and the one on Square D. Now granted the Square D one hasn't retained any pressure other than atmospheric, but it sure looks strong!At the rate you're going that JB weld on SQ D should last for several hundred years anyhow....... ???

Don't let them get you down Don, Just check the obvious first, time consuming yes but well worth it in the end.JB weld will work until I'm 873miles from home in the middle of the desert and a flash flood coming right at me! I have found a couple used units but there is always the possibility of me buying the same thing I have, Trucks are getting old and good parts are getting harder to find. Im still looking hopefully I will find a good used unit that dose not look like a shower head when I pressurize it.
That tester is pretty slick, much simpler than going to the car wash and spraying things down with fruity smelling soap while your wife floors the Cummins looking for bubbles.
This is why I am building my next toy non inter-cooled. But if you can't find one let me know.

That was a stroke of good luck...I was thinking today one could build a inter-cooler out of exhaust pipe... route it around and disguise it as a tube push bar and stuff. Pretty smart huh?
I let him slide today he's getting up there in years or it could of him being light headed from trying to suck diesel thru the feed line of SquareD, I'm sure at his age almost everyone he see's has a Dr. in front of their names so its natural!
Inter cooler push bar? ??? I wouldn't, serious Off roading is kinda similar to what I see happening when things go dark. There's gunna be a lot of bumping into things. I know one thing the front end of my eb got beat more than a red headed step daughter... You're asking for problems, keep it protected.
So usually Cummins is pretty good about getting parts, I wanted to replace the square sealing ring that comes off the outlet of my turbo and is held in place a v-band clamp the Cumming P/N 3919852 its normally $20 high I agree but if they have it I don't mind paying the money. Well Cummins dose not have any in stock and also none at the factory and I would have to pay Cummins almost $67 just to find out when they could even make one for me. Oh well I will have to make something.If anyone knows anybody that has P/N 3919852 in stock let me know.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Always check the obvious.Cam timing? (another thread)
Phil, it takes a real man to admit something like that!Earlier I had thought about mentioning the filter, but a person could take that as an insult. I spent 3 hrs trying to diagnose a powerstroke that was blowin' smoke on acceleration, even lifting the filter to inspect, replacing sensors that were slightly out of spec, etc. Drove it without the filter and felt like someone punched me in the gut.....but the customer was happy to get a $50 invoice for my lesson. lol
I will give you a call, I bought them a year ago from east coast gear supply. Looks like the admin,s have not approved the pictures yet, they must be writing Obama love letters.
