Its Alive
Time flies by. I thought the Cummins had been sitting for 11 months without running. I looked at the date on the picture when I took her out of the test frame to mount in the M37....its been 21 months. No wonder this project seems to have taken so long.
This morning, I pre oiled the Cummins, pre oiled the turbo, manually pumped fuel from the new fuel tank to the fuel filter. This is it and hit the key. She started as if she was just shut down and still warm. No cranking, the starter engaged, engine turned over and immediately was running. This is typical for a 4B series good runner.
The Alternator is alternating, the oil burner is a burning, the oil pressure is pressuring, all gauges working, and she sounds sweet. Now its really down hill from here. I'm going out now and start her up, drink a Pepsie and just listen to her run LOL
