well, i don't think you'll get 400hp out of a non-IC'd 6bt with good EGT's without water, water/meth, or an enormous turbo that may not be street friendly. well, you could do it w/ twins and maintain good street manners, but i believe it would still be outside of the 'managable' range, for me...

:ditto: i believe this is perfectly stated, especially the part about your engine's power band relating to the desired operating speed.

no, you can blame capatalism for WM. the free people and desire for less expensive goods are what has lead to WM's success. however, the willful product infiltration is solely on the shoulders of China. last i checked, WM sells alternative brands, not knock-offs relabled as name-brands...

actually, those pictures confirm that i'll be moving head lights outboard. that truck had a narrow IC and Rad stuffed into the 29" wide opening in the front clip. i've been doing a lot of searching: an IC that is roughly 28"w x 26" tall won't flow or cool what i need it too. there are...

yes, for the winch - it is hydraulicly driven from an engine mounted pump and air-piloted control valve to a direct-coupled hydraulic motor.

i don't know about that; by my measurements i'm making preparations to put the headlights outboard. but i'll let you know by the end of October.

they do not.

even if they do fit, for the money and piece of mind, i'd go with OEM hubs. (thanks again, Scott [thumbzup])

beautiful.

i towed a bunch of 931s w/ tankers full of fuel around the MSR the night of the invasion in '03; and it does pretty well. i have also driven a fully laden HET just for S&G's. i couldn't imagine a single 984 pulling the fully laden HET. seems like it must have taken days for it to get up to...

i believe this is consitent with everything that i've learned and read about modifying diesel performance. what i've learned is that fuel rate is a very simple measurement that estimates and defines power ratings but is not necessarily a defining characteristic of power delivery. changing...

unless you have the equipment to pop-test injectors and measure orifices down to 0.001", you may not be able to tell any difference between LDT and LDS injectors. you'll need a fuel bench set up to measure the differences in injector pumps. increased number of piston rings means increased...

there are more rings on the LDS pistons. injectors are different as well as injection pump. plus the turbo, as you mentioned. so, with these 4 things being different, well, that's a completely different fueling potential. are the HGs the same? i thought those were different, also...?

no, i missed that point. and 'manifolds vs headers' do not effect 'tone.' i recommended based on their affect on powerband. don't get so personal - you'll be alright.

1st question: what was done to the Olds to give you the 400hp / 500tq numbers? secondly, i agree with the above suggestion by EMD: go with smaller tube exhaust. the suggestions regarding the use of dual 3.5"+ tube sze is completely ignorant; a 455 cid gasser cannot make use of that much...

the reason i selected that pump and motor combo is because i wanted to be able to match the perfomance of the OEM PTO system (in 'Low' gear) as a max operational speed. this combo will do it at 1500 engine rpm. my PTO will be a 1:1, which is why i'll need 1500 rpm. if you put this system on...

i came across this thread because i needed to research the size of the u-joint. thought i'd update with my findings: the small u-joint is indeed the precision no. 330; Spicer 1410 series, plain journal 1.188"D x 4.188"W. Napa PN: NPJ330 the large u-joint is indeed the precision no. 332...

it also seems to go against the principles of suck-squeeze-bang-blow. on a 4-cycle, i have a hard time understanding how this is possible. i'll let the injection pump go, because i'm not sure how it is designed. i do know that a simple plunger/barrel system will inject fuel when run backwards...

first, welcome to SS. 2nd - you'll hear all kinds of answers, but it comes down to this: it's a crap-shoot. folks will preach on and on about how proper PMCS will give you years of reliable, trouble-free service. and i don't disagree with this conjecture. however, this is an old motor with...
