Differential Engineering has disc brakes which are strong enough for a 6x6 or bobbed deuce. In Florida. http://differentialeng.com/TwoHalfTonMilitaryRockwell.htm

mudguppy did a conversion of an A2 PTO winch setup which came on his truck to an hydraulic driven setup by adding the hyd. pump, plumbing, motor etc. Nice and is a good place to start for adding a winch to a w/ow A2 or A3.

I'm going out on a limb a bit here but I think you can probably take any of the earlier LDT engines and with the appropriate parts being swapped for the late LDS-1 and -2 engine parts you can get up to the 215+ hp level without too much worry as long as you're not expecting the engine to rev...

Whoa, Nasty. 3 gal per hr will NOT produce 450hp except for a few moments! I would expect a 6CTA to use 3gal/hr at very low speed cruise (prop hp around 20hp maybe - just a guess), certainly not anywhere near rated hp. Marine performance curves can be used but are very different applications...

I'll certainly second Patracy's comment about raw boost numbers. COOL air will certainly result in better overall performance than just cranking up the boost and avoids turbo-lag issues with a larger turbo. A larger turbo will also lose bottom end and if you're looking for increased power...

465 differences Patracy wrote, "Edit: Yes, parts from the engines will interchange. HOWEVER, there are a number of negligible differences between them. (Pistons, piston rings [3 vs 4], camshaft profiles, turbochargers, injection pumps, engine timing)" (I need to figure out to include...

I thought one of these more knowledgeable guys would have answered this but I guess not. Rated HP is on the engine data plate riveted to the block. Not always legible and based on what I've learned (especially in this thread) not always trustworthy. All parts are interchangeable within the...

Thanks, Hank! I needed that. In fairness, I got patracy and doghead confused and I also got hot because I've built more engines that most people have ever SEEN on an engine stand, most of them diesels and most of them enhanced performance. But to the Forum as a whole and this thread in...

First off, I did NOT CURSE YOU in a PM or otherwise. Second you responded to MY post directly and made the same misstatements in the mistaken notion that repeating something YOU said somehow makes it a "FACT" -- that ain't the case. As I stated, issues relating to the "weak bottom end" have...

Not so fast, sir. You STATED that I had not addressed the weak bottom end AT ALL. That statement BY YOU is BS. Take it back. You repeatedly used references to the Cummins engines WHEN THIS THREAD IS ABOUT MAX HP FROM A 465MF. You have repeatedly made snide comments impying that I know...

<deep sigh> I don't know how to get you r internal quotes back to comment on so I'll do it the hard way. "I disagree. A HX40 shares the same shaft size as the HX35. They're prone to failure due to that. (Increased wheel dia...." I have written nothing suggesting an HX40 or any other...

Yah, Nasty -- I didn't want to muddy the waters further with such a drastic suggestion as actually increasing bolt size :? You'd have to do something as drastic as rethread the holes. What you are talking about doing is all really basic simple engine shop work. There ain't no magic here nor...

Which facts would those be, if I may ask? Did I write anything which you believe to be false information??

I think Nasty's points about parts are very valid. Aren't stock new rod bolts available?? And head studs wouldn't be "custom" -- just order the correct length and thread from ARP. Same with fasteners for the mains. There's no magic and minimal cost to deburring/polishing your own rods and...

Who's air suspension is that? Nicely done truck! If you have more pics of the build I certainly would love to see them. Again, nicely done.
