i forgot to ask, how is the truck on power now? between the extra axle weight, wheel weight, tire size/weight, and slightly taller gear ratio, i would imagine that you've got some significant power loss.
i definitely had to turn up the fuel in my truck - it's ok now.
what's your...
that thing has a really nice stance to it. [thumbzup]
dang it!!! i just realized you're in J-town - i was just down there all this week... aua
btw - how do you like your brakes; have you been able to test them much yet? ready for that write-up and have more thoughts on 'kitting' it yet?
no, the solenoid is physically preventing fuel supply into the IP - it's not something you can bypass. it has to open enough to allow fuel to pass and when it sticks it stays in the 'off' position. it's basically a combination of being worn some but also weak coil no longer can overcome the...
this was an extremely common problem in the hundreds of HMMWVs we serviced. 99% of the time it's a bad fuel solenoid in the IP head. when it's hot it sticks and won't let fuel through for start-up. many guys would carry a jug of water w/ them; if it didn't start, they poured some water on the...
Contact caveman', he has trucks ready to bob at all times. He can sell u a rolling package ready to go. He will fully re-do it or just do the bob job or whatever you want. 609-780-1201
Jim Restuccio in NJ; on here he is Cavemantrucks.
he built my truck and does many one-of-a-kind custom options. also, he can and will do anything you'd like done to the truck. check out my album for build pics.
i have a MileMarker SI12000 24V mounted in the rear of my deuce - works great, just relatively slow (not compared to other electric winches, just to the PTO winch). after i get the engine swap finished, i will be converting the front PTO to hydraulic drive - i have the hydraulic PTO, pump...
short answer: no. not-so-short-answer: 3116/3126 Cats rated higher than around 210-ish hp had different pistons and [obviously] different injectors and turbo. so at the very least, you'd be looking at injectors, turbo, and adjusting the fuel settings. and to do it 'right' you'd need...
the only units that i've seen that have those are QM and reserve trans units with lots of 915s. petty much everyone else (HET units, PLS units, etc) all have M984s organic to the unit.
we got to play w/ one in recovery school - pretty neat. the winch, though, is very light duty and is only...
Gringletaube has already done all the destructive testing and has documented it well in this thread, starting at post 103 and culminating his findings at post 123.
post 103 also gives true insight into the actual capacity of the PTO winch.
holy crap, dimensions are about impossible to find. for now, only thing i can find is that it has been repeatedly described as being the same size as the dt466 which is 45L x 34 1/2W x 41H. 6CTA wet weight is 1680+ lbs. i know this is very close to the MF measurements.
i'll have to ask...
let me look around, but i think it's going to be real close to the MF. at first glance, it sounds like a sweet deal. but, you'll need to keep an eye on the coolant temp if you use the deuce radiator (small), go without an IC or put one outboard of the front grill, and you'll have to move the...
FireFighterHill, i'm not saying your wrong in your research. i'm just saying that no one bothers to do this. even when the heads are off and at the machince shop for Fire rings or o-rings, you still don't see P&P'd heads unless it's an all-out race motor.
you'd get a lot more bang for you...
the only diesels that get P&P jobs are those that do hi-rpm sled pulling. high is not 3k rpm, high is 5-6k+ rpm.
also, at an ambient air temp of about 80°, if you compress it to 12 lbs of positive boost, the resulting air temp is only going to be around 145°.
the engine coolant in the...
