Could you elaborate on this theory?

just like any other B-series cummins, it will run well over 3000 rpm and make well over twice the 'rated' hp and live for years. otherwise, you should tell the hundreds of folks using a '160hp 5.9' and making 500+ hp over 4k rpm that they can't do that. there is significantly more vibration...

your current transfer is bolted onto the back of the transmission - this is called 'married'. with an allison transmission, there is not a transfer that is bolted onto the back, so a transfer is mounted independently and connected to the transmission via a short driveshaft - this arrangement is...

if the engine is running, the shavings go right out through it. i wonder if anyone even knows someone who personally ruined a turbo seal doing this. my bet is not. :roll: start your pilot hole once the pilot hole is a good way into the manifold, stop and start the engine finish your pilot hole -...

someone has lied to you.... bad. no they didn't. again, you need to stop listening to that person. basically, if you believe that an automotive big block gas motor and a truck/commercial diesel are comparable in torque performance, then you don't have much experience w/ one of those...

5.9s were used in dodge trucks from '89-'98 (mechanical) and '98-'07 (computer), medium duty trucks such as F600-800s, F650/750, delivery vans, etc, buses, garbage trucks, street sweepers, loaders, graders, forklifts, boats, and stationary applications such as for pumps and gen-sets. finding...

i have not had my truck when it had duals on it, but have read on here many times that singles do much better offroad than the dual NDTs. there are about 4 ba-zillion tire threads that will offer a ton of interesting reading for you. the short story is that a 46" tire is the largest you can fit...

soooooo, what's that going to do for you? ...and it's not a 'jake brake'.

i'll put it to you this way: i own a dually and can get access to a GN capable of handling 15k. i got Eric (Heavy) to haul my deuce for me. :-D

:ditto: right on.

Chuck, close but the actual numbers could be quite different than yours. the towing capacities have been on the rise for quite some time. 2005 ratings for F350 DRW: GCVWR - 23500 conventional tow rating - 15000 (all models) fith-wheel tow rating - 16600 to 15800 (depending on model) now...

yes, this is true. the sulfur itself is what added most of the lubrication properties. the new fuel has a lubricity package added to it, but it still does not contain the same lubrication properties as fuel of the past. this is why i run 2-cycle motor oil (ashless, like marine stuff, mixed...

1. i clearly said "after pirate4x4" 2. i was clear in talking about responses to new members, not to me thanks for your input. are you on drugs? does the OP have his transfer sorted out yet?

after pirate4x4, this is the most newb-unfriendly forum that i've ever seen. there's some real good folks on here, but there's a lot of "my way or you're wrong" types on here that makes it quite embarrassing to be a part of when a new member is bashed for not using the antiquated search funtion...

the angle is actually quite easy to figure. you can do it with string or with math. for a two steer axle system, it's easiest to just change the ratio of steering that each axle contributes, based on wheelbase. if the forward axle is 100% of the wheelbase and the intermediate front is, say...

essentially all you are doing is taking a trunion leaf pack and turning it into a quarter-eliptical leaf setup. this isn't any new tech, just a different style. i think it would ride horribly - those springs are stiff. much of the suspension cycle you get out of a stock deuce is the pivoting...

chuck, go plug your deuce's intake and drive around w/ your foot on it and report back. or do this on your PSD, Cummins, or Dmax and let me know how that goes. what you're ignoring is that if you are making black smoke, the fuel has already been burnt. you can't "make soot" w/out burning the...

i believe a custom spring shop can build a set; Jim [aka cavemantrucks on here] had a set built by a shop local to him when he built my truck. they're not cheap, but not as expensive as you'd think. i did a set of lift springs in the front and lift blocks in the rear with traction bars - pics...

that's not true: these trucks are set up so that soldier A can drive around at max load with his foot buried to the floorboard all day. there is a ceiling because there is no EGT guage and no expectation that soldier A will ever take his foot out of it, especially at high altitudes. 8500ft...

you'd have to mechanically link the two front steering arms - you can't depend on hydraulics to keep the same angle, even with divider valves. i'm thinking a drag link running parrallel to the frame from each steering axle's steering arm. you could then modify the steering arm on the forward...
