i'd say that you can run a 5.9 at 3k forever. you need heavier valve springs for 3200+. yes, you can run them to 4k with just heavier valve springs (and 5k+ with a fluid damper), but i wouldn't advise this for long term setups; the heavier valve springs can accelerate wear of the cam lobes...

it's around 12" flange to flange. the problem you will find is that you have to have a custom yoke & yoke shaft assembled - this is pricey. you won't be able to avoid a pricey yoke shaft without increasing the length to around 20" (which you won't be able to without relocating the transfer)...

yes - please PM me a number and when to call. i'd PM you, but my PM box was forced full.

Mike, welcome to SS. you need to have more than 5 posts before you can create a classified ad. so you own the Xtreme4x4 deuce that was built in the show? cool. the only proper place to get it sold on this forum is through the classifieds. however, i'm sure lots of folks would love to...

to the administrators: since this post is being moderated, it was suggested that i send complaints about a moderator upward. so how can i do that when the moderator i would like to make a complaint about has lowered my PM box count to the point that i cannot send PMs?

i'm just questioning where the air is coming from. i know that diesels (and this MF does operate off of the diesel principle) make power by increasing fuel and stay alive by increasing air. but the turbos have already been stated to be found interchangable from the LDT to LDS - and not that...

ok, read the 'Principles of Operation' as described in TM-9-2815-204-35. that helps explain the combustion process and what the swirl is supposed to be doing. but back to the main thread topic.... ?

awesome, thanks. so, besides the 'ramp' that induces swirl in the bowl, they don't look any different than the 'BT or 'CT Cummins pistons. obviously the Cummins have a cone or rise in the middle of the bowl - i theorize this is there to force the in-rushing air/fuel into the sides of the...

examples: pic 1 - photo of my 5.9 before rebuild pic 2 - 6bt piston pic 3 - 24v ISB piston pic 4 - 6CT piston pic 5 - Cummins family; 6CT: back row, far right, 6BT: front row far left, 6BT marine: front row far right what do the MF pistons look like?

:ditto: the un-welcome-ness and intolerence of 'in-step perception' is getting much worse around here. accelerating, actually. i still don't understand the differences in piston design between the MF and (for example) small Cummins.

is that yours? that looks great!!! have you found one shorter than the Spicer? i sure wasn't able to...

if you go with a DT, go with the 360. the DT466 (as well as the 6CT Cummins) will have you moving the transfer case rearward and running without an intercooler (or force you to run a remote or ATW cooler).

it isn't scary, it's nice. you'll have to trust me on that one. [thumbzup]

honestly, i'm not familiar with a direct injection diesel that doesn't have a 'cup' or 'bowl' in the piston for combustion to occur. i know the B and C series Cummins do. the current and previous 3 generations of powerstrokes do. can't speak for d-max's, but i think they do also. i think...

piston coolers will not affect EGTs. they may, however, allow a higher sustained combustion temperature (that we observe from EGT readings). meaning: the LDS is running more fuel. more fuel = more power. higher rocker arm ratio allows for more intake air to enter the combustion chamber...

aww, dang it... with the transfer in N, trans in gear.... ;-)

two options: pull the axle shaft out of the intermediate axle and replace with a front hub (just to cap the hub and seal the axle). replace one axle shaft in the intermediate with a double-splined axle shaft and install a lockout hub, run in 'free' position. in either option, power is...

good point on the CR - i was trying to recall (without going back through all 90 posts) whether the rotating assembly was the same. if the crank and rods are the same part #'s and the piston pin heights are the same between the two motors, then CR should be the same unless there are...

sorry, GM, i didn't want to sound like a jerk... but i've seen people wrapped around a driveshaft.
