Re: 2013 Haspin, June 13th-16th Most likely, the foam didn't have any place to expand to. I usually do the cross members on the frame, the partially boxed areas of the frame under the cab an front clip, sometimes the rocker panels, and other areas that I know are a pain to get mud out of. I...

Re: 2013 Haspin, June 13th-16th Only if you don't make sure it has an exit point for the foam to expand to. I would NOT go so far as to drill a hole in a sealed tube just to fill it up, because the foam needs to be able to expand and needs a way out. Think of it like this, if you were to fill...

Re: 2013 Haspin, June 13th-16th Not sure if I can make it or not. But I was thinking of a trick I learned growing up at the mud drags. Fill any dead space in the frame an under carriage with expanding foam such as Great Stuff. This is a closed pored foam that will not absorb water, an keeps...

Re: Separating water from oil with out a heat sourse? It's been almost 10 years since my classes on the AFFF, so I figured I had the words for the abbreviation off a bit (I swapped "foam" and "film" several times before posting). Also, I remembered that salt water and fresh water separated...

Sea Water + Fuel I would be careful with the salt water contaminated gasoline. I'd find a way to do some sort of testing before running it in my truck. The only reason I say this is because (1) Salt water rises above Fresh water (I think...it separates from fresh water at least), (2) The salt...

Could you share what casting numbers they have and what, if any, noticeable differences they have? Pictures of any differences would be helpful.

Axle ratios should be 6.17:1. Transfer case should be 1.16:1. The original Hydro-Matic transmission should have had low rage on the right and high range on the left with reverse, "hilly," and "level" on either range and neutral at the top of the "half-H" (an "H" pattern with the top of the H cut...

These guys are absolutely correct. Reusing head bolts is a bad idea, they have a tenancy not to hold torque, plus you most likely have no idea how many times they have already been reused in a shade tree head job/gasket change in the past. The ARP studs are a worth while investment. They hold...

Please research your comments before speaking or typing. You have been asked to do so several times throughout this forum. And I believe I cited my source on the comment in which you replied. The GMC 302 has held (and may still hold) speed records on the salt flats in a Ford coupe.

If you are going to do a two speed set up on the transfer case, you will have to do one of two things: (1) put an auxiliary gear box between the transmission and the transfer case that will give you the gearing options you are after. Or, (2) Find a way to put a typical type reverse cut ring and...

Makes me want to go out and look at my engine tomorrow...

How do you tell the difference?

Welcome to the SS community! I invited Beyond Biodiesel here after running into him on a couple different alternative fuel forums. While he is not running a FMV, he is running the weaker, civilian version of the 6.2L in his van and has contributed a wealth of knowledge to the other Alternative...

Any luck remembering which member this was?

Now that is something to consider! I guess a starting point would be to make up a database with all of the available variations... Then hopefully we can find folks that have ran at least some of the combinations for feedback on there results. Now it's getting even more interesting.

I haven't seen the exact post you referenced, but similar information is available in another thread on that forum that I have been reading. http://www.dieselbombers.com/6-2l-6-5l-performance/68582-6-2-performance.html The fuel mileage is another reason I am interested in the 6.2L. I am more...

I am planning to look into the books soon. As for the dead horse... I am actually surprised that it took 26 post before that came up! And I fully agree with you on the P-Pump Cummins (4BT or 6BT). Personally, my favorite diesel is the 6BT as they are simple to deal with, easy to tweak and tune...

I did some more searching on the P400. Redundancy and inadequate information is what I came up with. So I decided to contact AMGeneral directly, we'll see what kind of response I get. Here's the message I sent, hopefully their eyes don't glaze over!

I have access to a '96 C3500 SRW with the 6.5L / 4L80E in it (snapped a crank due to harmonic balance failure). The body of the truck is junk, but the drive train only has about 105k on it. I am curious, what all did you have to pull off the 6.5L to make the "kit" to put the turbo on your M1009...

The twin setup with a smaller turbo, then a larger turbo is something more along the lines of a tandem/series set up. And you are right, in that case, there would be no point of having a turbo over supercharger setup. The series turbo setup works out pretty good on an inline engine like the...
