You need to contact the seller of the Cummins TS14G for sale on Kijiji near Oyen, AB. We've talked and texted numerous times. He had the idle turned up to 1000 rpm and hasn't had any driveline trouble since the initial breakage. He had a local mechanic set up the rpm with the Cummins software.we were also talking yesterday about possibly installing a different engine all together in these and scrapping the cummins but then with all the electronics where would you begin with that swap over ,an old screaming detroit in there would be kinda neat but then would have to put pedals in cab for throttle etc
I don't have a Cummins powered G near me to play with and iron out the problems. I'll try some checking with Cummins for a different flywheel.
I suspect this engine has a lighter flywheel designed to have a torque converter bolted to it. The added mass of a bolt on torque converter would help smooth out the doldrums. But since Terex put the torque converter six feet to the rear with a driveshaft in between, thus we have a problem.
You don't want to replace the engine. Not enough reward for the work, and you'll end up with a cobbled up lower value machine. Now if you were talking about changing out a 4-71 Detroit in a green one for a 5.9 Deere, I'd say go for it!
