    Brake line axle to wkeel part #

    what are you asking for - you need more? or do you just want an NSN for them? i don't understand; if you want more, just match then ends and lengths from the site.

    just match your fittings and length to a company like this.

    Split Brakes

    i'm with you all the way. and the big 3 went to 4 wheel disc as an option toward late 90's and standard early 00's. so finding a 4 wheel disc MC should be pretty simple... i just searched for a MC and brake booster - about $80 for a new '00 F350-F550 MC and $150 for a reman'd hydro brake...

    24" Hg is 11.8 pounds of vacuum - that's pretty good. no, i meant alternator - i just didn't know where the 5 ton pump bolted on to. so when you said the spot above the alternator is spoken for, i thought that is where the 5 ton pump went and that is why you can't use it. my pump is...

    limited slip on M35A2?

    oh geez, i can't!!! i could swear i've seen ARBs for ~$680, but i don't see anything less than $890. i never mess up numbers this bad, but i must have made that up ... :oops: sorry - apparently i'm a tool. :doh:

    limited slip on M35A2?

    after some simple driving style adjustment, i hardly ever notice the locker in my bob'ed deuce. as long as you keep either on the power or stay off completely while in a turn, the locker will disengage the outter wheel. while the tandem rears will want to fight each other, the wheelbase...

    repower with a screming detroit or possible big cam cummins?

    it really should be no surprise that his IP went out after he replaced his lift pump. the VP44 injection pump is lubed by fuel, so when the lift pump goes out, it kills the IP. it's no surprise because lift pumps rarely ever just stop - they get weak. so it is extremely likely that the lift pump...

    um, it may not be the seller's fault, but i want to you be aware that there is no such thing as "18 - 22 psi of vacuum". you can't create more vacuum than there is in the atmosphere. and since atmospheric pressure is ~14.7psi at sea level, we usually represent full vacuum (FV) as -15psi or just...

    is that where the 5 ton pump could be bolted on to? i have the PSC hydro pump mounted below the IP. it's on a custom built bracket that Jim (Cavemantrucks) built. it runs off of a belt that reaches over to the alternator. i can take pics if you help remind me...

    i don't understand this statement: it is simply one extra hydraulic line. it goes from pump-booster-steering box vs pump-box. that's it. :?: in either case, you're still doing the hard part (swapping the master cylinder). but w/ vacuum, you're installing a seperate component (stand alone...

    repower with a screming detroit or possible big cam cummins?

    looks good except for the over all length.

    repower with a screming detroit or possible big cam cummins?

    you would need the pump, custom fuel lines, front gear case and cover. a good pump can be expensive. finding a gear case may be as expensive as the pump. the custom (swap) fuel lines are somewhere in between price-wise. then you need to disassemble the entire front ends to swap the parts...

    Took the HEMTT out for a good run.

    hate to burst your bubble, but a HEMTT never stops bouncing.... unless it is sitting still. [thumbzup] have no fear, it'll get much worse. :-D i'm super-jealous of your rig, you got a sweet thing there. and, it should be a rule; if you post about your HEMTT, you must include a fresh...

    6.2 GMC Engine swap

    that's a myth. the 47rh/e are 'questionable' behind a stock 6bta in a pickup. increase the power output and/or GVW and you are asking for it to fail. the 47rh/e is 'proven' behind the 6bta after it has been built. this can range from $3k - $7k, depending on power and application. (and those...

    i believe this statement needs clarification. while it is correct to say that you have twice the chance for a component failure by having twice the amount of similar components, the odds of having a system failure are quite lower. every layer of protection, whether it be individual zones or...

    M35A2 vs FMTV videos

    you guys are so blinded it's rediculous. all this whining and uneducated conjecture about "too much electronics to work on" and simply retarded statements that trucks are being "burned in place because they are too complicated to fix" is just sad for such a group of people. cab too heavy...

    i don't know if the 6C's use a grid heater like the 6B's do. do you have any kind of manifold heater or cold start switch?
