yeah about 46-47" tall about 15.5" wide. I think the Michelin xml 395/85r20 is around 57xx pounds a piece, i think. Take it with a grain of salt though, i don't know for sure.

I was pondering the idea of using one of those bullet race muffles right off of the turbo in the J-pipe so that unless you were looking for it you wouldn't see it and the truck would appear stock. I was thinking about the Hushpower mufflers. they really quiet the trucks down but are a...

just get a 10 or a 13 speed and mount it right to the motor in front of the transfer case, so then you can have 13 speeds in low and high range, and in 4 wheel drive and two wheel drive. by putting the brownie after the transfer case, you would not be able to use the gears in it when you are in...

hahah this sounds like a really hopped up deuce.

according to the guy with the tractor that used the military engine in his tractor, the long block (block, heads, crank, rods, pistons) were the same except for the pistons. he was using the stock ldt 465 parts except for the pistons and the injectors. Regardless, the main reason i am...

I was able to find a complete rebuild kit with all of the bearings and everything, but i was also able to find the piston/liner kit that comes with the piston, rings, and liner. the price i believe is for each slug...

That is true. To be honest with you, with any modification I may make to my truck in future, i am fully aware that it is not going to make the power that a modern diesel could. I just think there is potential to make more power while still maintaining reliability and keeping those egt's down...

you know i heard something about that. i think the new ford is up around 29,000 psi rail pressure. it is just amazing what they are capable of these days.

that is incredible, isn't it? I can't remember how high the cummins but it is pretty high as well.

In terms of the combustion efficiency, don't know if that would work with the injector as it wouldn't hit quite right on the piston, it at all because it would be aimed higher in the bore. I don't know if i would want to go there as it would need new push rods that were custom length, and two...

that is true about the rpm, but i have a feeling that would have to do with the camshaft and the injector pump too. using only the pistons from the tractor for the lower compression, you would be able to maintain your rpm range from the truck and a similar power band but the ability to increase...

when i read the posts by the guy that had an 2-155 tractor, he used a ldt465 (military) long block and head with the 17:1 pistons, although i think he said that they were modified to a little bit more compression. but he was for sure using the stock ldt 465 head on that motor with fire rings...

where did you get that spec? all of the specs that i have seen show between 16.8:1 and 17.5:1 6.6 L Duramax Diesel Specifications I know that is not everything, but i believe that a major limiting factor in the increasing the power in these engines is the high compression.

I have been looking at the threads about upping the fuel, high egt's and the quest for more power out of the deuce. In several threads, i read about the oliver pulling tractors with the ld 465 making all kinds of horsepower with stock bottom end and slightly modified stock pistons. I believe...

NTC-400 cummins with a 13 speed roadranger, 16.00 XML's on hemtts wheels, dual stacks and air lockers....for a start.

It really sounds like you also need some serious flood lights so that you can see the area around you, not just dead in front of you. How about some of these babies? FLOODLIGHT WHITE 200W - Lights - Seattle Marine I know these are typical automotive style, but they are gnarly. typically...

It looks like Light Force makes some that are available in 24 volt variations. look pretty cool too. Lightforce Driving Lights - TruckCustomizers.com

I am sure there are different thermostats, but the main reason for that is to get the engine into operating temperature. I don't know what you guys feel is the correct temp for these motors to run at is, i just know that the TM says operating temp is between 180 and 200. Should the engine get...

i think it is supposed to be around 180-200. I think that is what it said in the TM, although i don't remember which one. I think the thermostat starts to open at 180.
