I'm planning on pimping mine out kind of but at 5 bucks per gallon and the crappy mileage the yella motor gets I doubt I will be hotrodding it I may look into a high speed center chunk to drop engine rpms for better milage yet but I don't think I will see much past double nickel on our narrow...

it may have some effect but not much heat is what kills a tire keep it inflated right and aligned properly, the only scrubbing will be in tight turns. when driving on a lot of pavement don't forget about rotation rotate the tires before they show cupping from caster camber scrubbing.

I wont be able to post the source I have seen several people scolded for posting adds I will say it is an organization that has adds on the borders of the page one of their yard men let me know about some up coming stock. I'm thinking of buying a couple of pallets to have enough spares to last...

don't get too exited I know of tires coming up in Washington some time in the near future

I would doubt it is a valve problem unless you broke a head off I have seen that sounds like a fluid lock, fuel or coolant

I have a 1078 I just purchased on the west coast I paid 7500 for it plus another grand in fees and taxes. it was advertised as a non runner took me 15 minutes to get it started and running. the auctions are a crap shoot. the RA trucks coming out of dix are hammered. They are contract...

your trucks load rating is based on its ability to stop a load on an incline and also acceleration speed and of course cooling system capacity with enough gears you can move the world but you will find your impleading traffic or will be un able to stop the load on a long decent. I have herd...

where the pipes merge, on the turbo version both pipes off the header merge at the turbo exhaust housing side than runs into a down pipe after the turbo the na model merges at the y pipe just like the 6.2

yes and no the reason for the higher velocity is less mass. At the end of the day there is a certain amount of energy released when it breaks, the energy released is the same wire carries more mass and may do more damage, if you get hit with synthetic you may not get cut in half but you are...

gear ratio is going to limit you, why not just put in a 318, with the 5 something gear set those came with it will still be capable of whipping your neck even in high gear

I was kind of hard on those who don't look at their lugnuts the funny part is you never find any loose nuts when you have to change a flat

as I now have a yellow motor maybe I need a cat badge for my box

first as I remember checking lugnuts is part of your daily inspection and is also part of a cmv pretrip inspection. so checking once a year is wrong. I usually look for rust traces coming from the nuts if they are coming loose. and the torque for bud nuts as I remember is 550 ft lbs. Glad you...

look at mechanics tool boxes you will see where they go. A lot of mechanics take gasket scraper and rob them to stick on their tool boxes. now that I think of it kind of reminds me of the old Cadillac hood ornament craze the gangsters had in the 90's

this is a good point unlike standard diesel engines ,you should turn your generators on and off at 60 hz otherwise your voltage regulator wont be long for this world.

Ok first off Don't the 1544 is just an Allison 540 with an extra gear and at 170 horses the duce motor just about maxes out, and maybe exceeds the torque limitations of the transmission, you toss that thing behind a bc350 and the trans wont last long. On the rv you would need to use an Allison...

reading the tm, you are supposed to disconnect the load and let your windings cool before shut down. that should answer the why you don't shut it off with the emergency breaker unless it is a real emergency.

not yet out west not much snow yet temp is up to 25 today quite a change from the - 25 a couple of days ago.

I will have to look I think I have a rebuilt 24 volt starter I used several gear reduction units in new jersy don't know the source of supply but they seemed to work well

I thought oil leaks were a trade mark of Harley and Detroit. The last one I worked around did leak a bit around the crank. never had to mess with the injectors I have to believe they are like a 3116 cat as it does require dial indicators to do the overhead. It really wouldn't be my first choice...
