Cummins/82 C10

[dazedandconfused]

I can't ever get them to upload off my phone on YouTube. Mine shifts early under light throttle but the harder you get on it the later it shifts. I've messed a little with TV but no noticeable difference.

There's some screws that can be turned in the valve body. I'd think they'd be hard to get to with a lower valvebody (that I don't have in my 727).

I backed my shifts up across the board. Under normal acceleration, I'd describe them as ok, not great though. Can't beat free.I could have turned the screw in further and still be within spec and I now wish I did

The shifts are very firm,I built this thing for that 3/4 ton truck and in this light little feller it kicks like a mule I like that

The one,two,three shifts are spot on.....it's o/d and lockup that is too quick. I'm gonna have to Dick with the gov to get it right and to use these psi switches that I have.

[ellis93]

Well......messing around with those psi switches moved it up a little higher,but not much. I'm looking at some adjustable ones on Ebay,it's either those or I'm tearing into the trans for gov molestation.

Turned off the od and lockup and crowded it some,it makes a fine trail of smoke but I hear no turbo whistle......none what soever. I think there maybe something keeping the fuel from the I/P. Maybe that fuel heater screen is stopped up,the old dodge it was in was kinda weak after all. I'll check that out,any one else have any ideas?

[PToombs]

Bad LP? Pull the inlet fitting and check the screen in it to be sure it's not plugged, then pull the piston out and check to see if the sides of it and the pump are scarfed. If the screen is in the heater unit it should be ok, but I'd check it to be sure. Throw away the heater while you are in there, it will prevent suction leaks in the future.
Or you could just put a gauge on it and see what it's running.

Pete I'm figuring on ditchin the fuel heater ( should've while the motor was out,only left it there because of its screen) as I've an inline filter to put inline now. I'll be checking the pressure here in a while

[RCCUMMINS89]

I've an inline filter to put inline now

So you will be putting your inline filter.............inline. Can't go wrong with that.

[ellis93]

Man..... You got me this time good for you

Yeah it's been a loooooooooonnnnnggggg day and I've got too much on my plate

[RCCUMMINS89]

Ya, I'm pretty proud of myself right now.

[PToombs]

Eric, enjoy it while you can!

Ellis, no need to remove the housing, just pull the bottom off, unscrew the allen head and remove the heater, then the bottom will screw right back on. Then you can have your inline filter not inline.

[ellis93]

Will do Pete

It's really funny you say that

The bed cover I have for my truck won't fit and I've thought about doing that
