So to close up, here is what I've learned. If you lose brakes on the road, it makes for a great story, it shows how knowledgeable you are now, and your in no way a danger. Caused by "part failures" perhaps better maintenance needed? and/or... If you lose brakes in your backyard, stopped...

nice...

Your right, they do make F700s F650s, etc that use the normal powerstroke. These are big trucks but still not big rigs. But your right, i don't consider the powerstroke or the duramax "real" diesel engines. I consider them Hybrid engines. Real diesel engines are 4 or 6 inline cylinders, i would...

I don't think any one is "comparing" them to one another. Just using the new engines as reference in regards to RPM, Load, Power band. My comment was to take note as to a little shorter stroke, lighter weight pistons (not light weight) stronger/lighter rods, better cut/balanced crank and you...

My Uncle too! LOL He said watch the thumbs and keep your gun loaded. :| Yes, 3000 rpm on the engine in stock form would be a ticking time bomb waiting to unleash the Rod Bomb! lol

Listen don't talk to me about the MAN patented hypercycle, i invented it... ok ... See what you do is ya take you some KY jelly... then.... ah never mind you old timers won't get the joke anyway.... :-D:-D:-D

Yea yea, me too i'll take one or two for my hotrod deuce project... lol

Well to say stroke without talking about the rods and pistons is the reason why your not understanding it. The rods and pistons on the multifuel are in no way to be considered "high rpm" style. Nor the crank. Your just looking at the stroke, so many other factors come in to play. The commins...

Man I love diesel engines. I've never owned a dodge truck but i love the engine. I've owned newer chevy diesels duramax 6.6 LLY engine and that engine was a beast, however the iron in a 7.3L durmax is just awesome. it's only a 16 valve engine which means rebuild costs are half that of the 6.0...

If you think 500,000 miles is cool, check out the guy over at http://powerstrokehelp.com The old 7.3L powerstroke is the best of the best. He has well over 800,000 miles on this powerstroke. Taking care of the engine is key! My 7.3L powerstroke ford excursion has 130,000 miles and runs like...

I don't see how anyone could of looked at the multifuel engine as being one that would take the field abuse. After being inside one they should of just went with a tried and true 4. Less moving parts, etc. It's funny if you look at the design it's almost like they went with a 4 design then went...

I'm guessing no one is making a kit to do that huh lol Sounds like something to make...

Ya know when ya speak of the bible ya have to drop all the stupid stuff and just get back to work ;) As soon as I find my problem I will update on it. I have not had a chance to get at it with work, but will this week sometime.

Have you seen any dual circuit master cylinders kits? I've seen a few for other stuff but havn't found one for my m109A3... any ideas?

I could not agree with you more. I do plan to install a exhaust brake and stainless lines as I can get them custom made very cheap. Custom hoses do not cost all that much and I would see them as a safer brake system all together. From all the forums i have been on busted brake lines seem to be...
