    Reviving the 83 ford with LDS 5 ton drive line

    Just a update. Between working on other peoples vehicles and work ive either had no time or no money to try to do anything too the beast. But on Monday I start the new job. Which means more money and free time. Ive found filters for everything but the transmission. Also found tail lights...

    Mk48 Death Hop?

    Speed changes heat. Heat changes pressure. Pressure changes tire behavior. Old Drag raceing metaphor. But Ive seen it on skidder and wheel loaders. Id try the higher pressure and see if that helps

    Anyone know how much cooling is required for the multi fuels. Wondering if I could use a aluminum radiator shaped like the grill and electric fans. I don't have much room to work with. If I want to put the front end back to normal I got maybe 6 inches which don't leave me squat really.

    Reviving the 83 ford with LDS 5 ton drive line

    Danger you hit it on the head. I want to get it running and in good operating condition with very little leaks or none. I'm going to see what I can do with the radiator. Might have to mount it in bed. I know theirs bolt on fenders to make the bed a true dually bed. Going to paint it after I get...

    That would be awesome. I've never driven it myself. Before I can do much more tho I need 2 batteries. Those are not cheap. I work at autozone and I can get the AGM batteries for about 125 a piece. Anyone know of awesome batteries for cheaper

    Reviving the 83 ford with LDS 5 ton drive line

    As of right now I found Napa filters to use with the stock setup. Going to order a gallon jug of seafoam hopefully in the next week and use it to flush the fuel system. Next is the engine oil and filters. Main problem is money. With holidays and all money is tight. Hoping for new job with better...

If your valve body has a spool valve or clutch pack that the converter lock up and forward clutch share they could be bleeding over. trying to find the Tm for your trans now to...
