No offense taken at all, Like I said in the first post, I know it's a hack job and I did run out of shielding gas plus I did not clean the pipes enough. It's a temp job and I rushed it. I can weld good when there is a reason to. Check out my plow thread... I'm old school anyway, I'll be the...

If you suspect a bent valve, do a compression test. If the truck is missing yu can loosen the inj lines one at a time while it's running to find the cyl that is acting up, sort of like pulling sprak plug wires. If you have no miss and just a loss of power, I doubt it's a bent valve . Start a new...

it is the same.

Yeah I know..maybe I should have brazed that too....I honestly did run out of gas and it was raining so I hacked it. It only has to last a few months till I get sme money to rebuild the 4911 IP i have. Everything else for my turbo swap is ready. Just wanna get the new IP freshened up and a...

Not anymore. I resigned due to the bias towards me and some others after I spoke out against a certain vendor over there and the influence they have on the site. I am on here and DP. I will not return.

rofl Sort of, I ran out half way through and didn't realize it, I thought it was just that i didn't clean it enough. It don't leak and It's good enough. The underside looks better...[thumbzup]

rofl Ok, I know it's a hack job. I am putting a turbo on so I don;'t want to spend money fixing the duals and they fell off behind the cab. Cab forward they are still good and i had a 5 inch pipe from a Class 8 so I ob longed it and slid it over and welded it up. Total cost about 15$ for the...

Seek and ye shall find. They are out there...

Not to mention the wheel can fall off. You could buy a whole rotted chevy gasser truck for 300$ and cut the diff out... Look around on Cl. an Older 12 bolt will work too and most of them were 3.08

All the GM NV's do. The 208 should bolt right up like it was made for it...

Not to mention the lugs them selves strip with bigger than stock tires. Seen that too. They are tiny. 7/16 IIRC. Stock or close to stock with normal on road driving they work but when ya'all do some redneck math... Billy Ray gots an M1009 next to his traaailer. He downs a 6 and some shine and...

nice thing about a 98 Tranny is it makes a future Cummins swap a bit easier...

The ones that broke on me were not from coming loose. They broke and the rear support was on. The starter bolts are not TTY but they can fatigue. Think of it as cheap insurance..

People have reused Headbolts successfully but it's not recommended. Look at it this way, maybe it worked for you but the next guy may end up with a broken engine block...

More than fair. Grab it. If it ha a dual mass flywheel toss that and use a single mass.

It's very feasible. Most auto parts store stuff is made overseas and junk. I'd have it bench tested at an Auto Electric re builder.

Lemme see what I can do... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/74764-nv4500-swap-sucess.html

rofl You are kidding right ??? rofl That very transmission is in my truck....His truck burned and I bought the tranny out of it...Small world...:D I actually have another NV4500 I am going to buy the parts and have him help me rebuild it.

:D As someone who has built many many off road truck and have beaten trucks like a rented mule I can say with complete confidence that GM 10 bolts are junk. Pure junk. Look at it this way...When you blow a 10 bolt(not hard to do at all) it's always fun to watch your wheel AND axle pass you. The...

I can't say, I read it not experienced it but one bellhousing I looked at buying from a Junky on LI had the v cut out and it was on a 6.5TD. I did not buy it but I also did not see it installed on the truck.
