F550 brake booster, MC, calipers, and F700 rotors.

in effect, i you are correct on your proportioning, but i'm not sold that it has to be that close. but i say that as my own professional opinion without ever having actually tried it... so it means nothing. the reason i believe a 60/40 split would be better is because i want more pressure to...

understand that no matter how many people have said this, no one has ever posted real documentation that hydraulic steering is illegal for on-road use. i've yet to hear of anyone even hearing about someone else that has supposedly seen real documentation. probably. that wouldn't be a bad...

yeah, i know, Chuck.... :roll: ;-) what about the other 2 models; what TM are they in?

you can. the folks on here are believing that applying the same amount of pressure to the front as the rear will lock up the front. what they are forgetting is that the front should require more pressure than the rear since the front generally does more braking than the rear (except when fully...

source? and which model? edit: ah, you got that from this post, yes? i was going off of this info, but understand that the TM is likely more correct for the -A than the link. however, does the TM cover the 3053 or the -B model? because i have the 3053 and i don't believe it'd move w/ a...

let us know what you find after you swap tachs around. did you see what model trans you have? the tag is on the side of the case. you have 16.00's and no power steering? oh my.... your arms must be larger than Magnus von Magnusson's. :shock: that'd be something pretty high on my list of...

still doesn't add up: if you use 52" as actual diameter, then 60mph @ 0.85=2214 rpm, 0.79=2058, 0.75=1954, and 0.73=1902. if you use 53", then 0.85=2173 rpm, 0.79=2019, 0.75=1917, and 0.73=1866 so, either you have the rare -B model trans with the 0.73 OD (which is possible) or your tach is...

sort of. the gear steps and power band are fixed - adding larger tires does not decrease or narrow the power band. if it was 1400-2400 rpm w/ 9.00's, than it's the same with 16.00's. what you are describing is adding gears to narrow the split in order to take advantage of a narrower (and...

... unless you have a 3053B model trans...

tach is off?? 59.6mph = (rpm x tire dia) / (axle gear x gear ratio x 336) = (2200 x 52) / (6.72 x .85 x 336) :beer:

how'd you calculate that? i calculated 60mph at 2200rpm (w/ a 0.85 OD). ironically, i calculate 60mph at 1900rpm for when i put the nv4500 in (w/ 0.73 OD).

not all MF trans are equal - most of the examples given in this thread are not showing all 3053 options. the argued 3-4 rpm drop in the 3053 is not near what it is in the 3053a trans. i have the 3053 trans in my truck, though i realize that it seems that the -A model is most common and -B is...

High Angle Driveline parking brake kit - bolt-on. [thumbzup]

that's a good point to consider. though, if you took one of the MF power graphs, couldn't most Allison shops make the necessary adjustments just like any other re-power?

gee, thanks for the illumination on 'HEUI'. :roll: so, what's your source that the 3116s in the A3's are HEUI and not MUI??? this is my source - TM 9-2320-386-24-1-1.

no, it is not. no, it does not. (who told you this?) typical de-fuel settings (dependant upon the governer spring setup) is 2600-2900. however, this is easily adjusted to 3200-3400 with either a set of shims or replacing the spring kit for $100. the 5.9 will run at 3k all day if you want it...

Bjorn, my opinion: rings do not provide stability for a piston, they are the method of compression/combustion sealing and for cylinder wall and/or piston oil control. also, where did you read that 20w50 = 30W? because, by definition, 20w50 = 20W when cold + 50W when hot. :?: and a...

yes, as has every other 'blown engine' thread as of late - you were either abusing it or running it at 15,000+ rpm. and if you prove that you didn't, well, then it must have been abused by 'Soldier A', because no one here will accept that the multifuel motor is anything less than the most...

the vane design and count on the turbine exducer. compressor inducer designs can also create whistle on some turbos (like the holsets on the dodges).
