    HEMTT vs. 2010 Camaro

    looks like the HEMMT made a right turn and turned into the Camero, squishing it into and over the culvert. now, who's at fault? did the HEMMT driver not see the Camero or did the Camero try and sneak around the HEMMT before it could make the turn...?

    engine alternatives for the deuce?

    it's all in how much you want to deal with. russ81 is swapping in a common rail 5.9 ('03+) into his bobbed deuce. to get the factory ECM to work, you either have to use the factory guage cluster or get a 'recovery' code to crack the ECM in order to allow it to run w/out the factory setup. people...

    engine alternatives for the deuce?

    another benefit to getting the bus engines is either the air compressor if it has air brakes or the hydraulic brake system (booster and MC) that would be great for swapping into a deuce. also, the 210 or 230 hp rated p-pump Cummins don't have emissions retard notches on the barrells in the...

    engine alternatives for the deuce?

    this is all true stuff. though, it is worth mentioning that the dt466 is a full-size medium duty engine. dimensionally, it's as large as the multifuel, so it would likely be almost a 'bolt-in', physically speaking. however, the dt466 usually uses an intercooler. also, the multifuel radiator will...

    24v pyro gage

    good point. ERAU, eh? Florida Tech grad, here. ERAU was definitely our rival in every way!!! [thumbzup] and, back to the topic - cool, just add 100° like Hewitt says. or, add 200° like Autometer says. or add 300° like Isspro says. or add 500° if it's a light load. or, add 200° if it's been...

    24v pyro gage

    some related non-scientific data from another forum. a few minutes on google finds a lot of discussion and several similar threads posting observations ranging from 200° - 600° temperature variations with a bazillion variables. your choice.

    24v pyro gage

    m16' - i understand that's what the vendors say, 200° - 300°. but then they also say it could be as much as 500°. that doesn't seem like a large margin of error? the point is that there are a tremendous amount of variables that alter accurate indication, way more than pre-turbo. the...

    engine alternatives for the deuce?

    why 'upgrade' the turbo? do you mean go larger? unless you're going over 300hp, a larger turbo will just take more time to spool than stock. unless you meant something else by 'upgrade'...?

    24v pyro gage

    look, drilling / tapping for the probe is easily done with the turbo still on the truck. it should take less than 20 minutes. or, as someone else posted, it looks like there's a fitting already tapped for use - it doesn't get any easier, and it's the right way to do it. yeah, that's not how...

    24v pyro gage

    if you think that's how it works, you are quite mistaken. :rolleyes: the pressure differential [drop] post turbo will greatly alter temperature indication. gasses pre-turbo are high because of turbine drive pressure; high pressure equals higher temperature. as pressurized gas expands...

    engine alternatives for the deuce?

    apparently you believe that the stock multifuel was some sort of power house. while a cummins is smaller, the minum 6bta power ratings were still 30hp and 100ft-lbs higher than the multi' on a good day. an SAE engine adapter can be used to mate the Cummins to the spicer.

    having the probe post-turbo is just about worthless.

    DT360 with spicer 5. Any good?

    no, not an np208. a '208 won't hold up to much, especially a diesel with a manual transmission. the 'A2 and up deuce transfer is a Rockwell 'case. best bet is to find an air-shift 'case and grab it and the cross-members for easier mounting.

    Mile Marker Industrial 24V Electric Winches - 12,000+ lbs cheap

    i have the SI12000 MM in the back of my deuce - it's a nice winch. i must say, though, that MM being the 'exclusive supplier of winches for the military' is not an impressive statement - it just means they were the lowest qualified bidder and got the contract. gone are the days of 'military...

    DT360 with spicer 5. Any good?

    the DT360 is comparable to the 5.9 Cummins - it's a great motor in every way. it is physically smaller than the motors originally offered in the deuce, so fitment should be on your side. sure, it's not a 'powerhouse' in stock form, but it's already going to be a 'powerhouse' compared to...

    Bidders Beware: GL is draining all fluids on trucks

    no it doesn't. at least, not according to my copy of 49 CFR. :roll:
