    Exhaust Options/Opinions

    I do not have a sound clip but it's extremely loud inside and out. The sound itself is fine, I drive a Dodge with a Cummins in it everyday so the straight 6 diesel sound is familiar to me. However with the soft top and the proximity of the exhaust stack so close to the back of the cab it is...

    Exhaust Options/Opinions

    Like I mentioned above, I ordered various exhaust piping from an online retailer and made my own. I removed the factory exhaust stack at the joint just behind the cab and used reducers backwards to increase pipe diameter from 4-5 then 5-6. I also used a 6" curved stack to complete the exhaust...

    6CTA8.3's Engine Rebuild Info

    To anyone who may be having this milky oil issue, if you want to pull your oil pan to see if you have a liner/o-ring issue you cannot remove the pan completely with the truck sitting on its wheels. The pan will hit the front axle and the pickup for the oiling system itself housed inside the oil...

    6CTA8.3's Engine Rebuild Info

    Taking pictures with a brief description for each is no problem. Uploading them all here is somewhat tedious. Is there any other way to do it faster/easier then taking the picture with my phone, uploading to photobucket, then bringing them over here in a post?

    6CTA8.3's Engine Rebuild Info

    Ladies and Gentlemen, My 923A2 has been suffering from an oil/coolant mixing issue recently and I wanted to share the results of what I've found and provide some info to hopefully help others. Over the past month I've noticed my engine oil becoming an increasingly milky mix of oil/water...
