    Hello All,
    Can someone point me to resources for understanding and maintaining a 8.3l Cummins? I would prefer online, been searching with minimal success, but would buy a recommended manual.

    My year is 1995, pre electric controlled turbo or some-such.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    we have some FL60s or 80s for feed trucks that have 8.3s. Look up stuff for 12v 5.9s, they are very similar in regards to fuel system, etc. A friend put a banks fuel plate in a 8.3 motorhome and it worked well. Check turbodieselregisty.com ($35 a year) and dieseltruckresource.com (free).

    Thanks for the sites.

    I think mine is a C8.3L and I am checking into the actual Cummins manuals which seem decent (I have the manuals on my Onan (Cummins) generator).
