I know the engine will be heavy , but this one has a lift capacity of 3800#'s and a tipping capacity of 7600#'s. This one also has a radial lift path instead of a vertical lift path, which makes it ideal for taking an engine out of a truck. We used it a few months ago to take a Cummins out of...

He has equipment for us to move the cans around. I have a bobcat to take the engine out, and put the new engine back in. Help is always appreciated. I'm not sure when I'm going to get started on the engine swap. I will probably wait to take out the junk engine until I have a new one ready...

DANG! You guys are fast. Thank you! Southdave, I searched for "starting one in the can" and couldn't find the thread. I'll search til I find it. Gimpy, I appreciate the previous tech support over the phone. I'll call you if I have some questions. Flyingvan, I kind of agree. He said that...

I've been searching for a replacement engine for my truck that lost a rod on the trip home. I have found a guy that has 18 "cans" or containers. All of them supposedly have engines. He bought all of them a while back, and has never opened them. Anyway, he said that I could take my pick of...

Although it doesn't greatly effect duration, it does some. Taken from Comp Cams website: Many people incorrectly assume that a change in rocker arm ratio has no effect on the duration the valves are open. In actuality there is some change to the duration at the valve...

Where in MO are you located?

We were in Playa also. We stayed at the Royal. It was awesome. I expected the food to be better. Breakfast was always very good. I wasn't impressed with any of the other meals at the resort. We ate on whatever that main street is most of the time. We want to go back soon. The water and...

I hope your road trip goes much better than mine did last weekend. :beer:

LOL. Uh, wrong picture. The hispanic gentleman is not my "fiance" LOL. I had to go back and look at it. I meant to attach another pic named mexico.jpg I've got a few cheap trucks local that I am going to check out this weekend. I tried to search for this, but I couldn't find what I was...

I agree with you 100% on the safety issue. I was sitting in the driver seat of the deuce any time I started it or attempted to. I just don't press the clutch in. Now, If there were a group of children or elderly women standing in front of the truck, I'd just wait until they moved to start it...

nopics This is an "offseason" pic of her and I in Mexico last Feb. She is 24 pounds leaner now. I'm 35 pounds leaner too LOL. I'll should have the truck done for her and her friends to do a cool shoot with the truck. They've already been talking about little camo spandex shorts, tactical...

I'm going to drain the fuel tank when I replace the engine. I just remembered that the owner of the truck had some goofball friend that kept telling me everything about the truck. He then told me to run 75% gasoline in it. The owner said he only ran diesel. I had to get rid of $150 in fuel...

I type way too much when I post so it is hard to read it all, but porkysplace is correct. The seller gave me $1000 back. I really like the idea of a cummins swap, but I think that I would like to get it going a little sooner than I would be able to with the cummins. Ferro and I discussed...

I know that. And not all meth heads are truck drivers. :smile: Please don't take my post the wrong way. I'm saying that I shouldn't be compared to the low end truck drivers. There are a lot of us that drive trucks to earn a living, that aren't typical "truck drivers". We all know the type...

I was thinking the exact same thing. I definitely like that idea. I think my fiance will kill me though. She was really looking forward to riding in it. She has her first fitness/figure contest in April. Her and some of the other girls wanted to dress in little camo shorts and tops and...

LOL! We both said the same thing. We couldn't believe that both of us missed it. It is actually hard to see it where it is on the block. That, and when we looked the night that it happened we had been awake for almost 48 hours, it was 27 degrees, and we were just ready to get the truck home...

Tugger, I'm not a truck driver LOL. I do drive a truck, because I own and operate a roll-off dumpster business. I've got a college degree in automotive technology and engineering, was a cobol computer programmer for DST for a number of years, worked for Jasper engines, and was race support at...

One more quick thing on pushing in vs not pushing in the clutch during starting. Again this is not to argue, just to show a different thought process on the starting procedure. When you push in the clutch during starting, you load the crank to the front of the engine, against the thrust...

Ferro, I hope that it fires right up too. Thank you for PM'ing your number. I'll be there about 6pm central time today. Driving a new model semi or medium duty is definitely much different than driving a M35. I'd love to put power steering an a true air brake system on this truck. I'd...
