The Holland ph-760 rating is 9,800lbs vert load/49,000 max gross trl. weight. A 25% reduction for off road use... The deuce would be 'overweight' above the 10,000(or 12,000) shown on the the data plate(highway). As for being able to 'handle it' (GCVW) there is an additional 10,000 allowed for...

Yesterday I tested (on the range) the Isspro R607-1200 I got on e-bay. My digital test gauge is very accurrate, and sensitive, but only goes to 500*F. It read ~25*F low 200-500. I used my 'scale of glowing iron' for 1000-1100*F. Less accurate, but got the expected results. I did notice it...

The TH400 was rated at 800 lb-ft. After 87' GM used a diff number sysyem. The first number is the # of gears, the L is for longitudal, the second pair numbers are the torque rating( in lb-ft), the E is for electric(connected/controlled by computer), the HD is heavy duty(truck,del.van...). The...

Nice job John! I see the dog is if the first photo too...is that quality control?? Any plans to swim? Looks like you don't have to go very far.JimK

RE: Engine Prelubricator That rubber oil line on/above/near the turbo exhaust housing worries me. That start up is the hardest part of a engine bearings life,especially for an engine that may sit a long time. It can be run to lube and cool the turbo after [fast] shut down. A pal has used an...

Maybe put turbo on fender then hide it w/heat shield made to look like air filter.JimK

Curve can be thought of as an axial compressor for the basiclly radial design. It reduces shock loads at tips and helps air move into the turbo. Some are shorter(d) because more would reduce airflow( the curved aspect is starting to to close opening). Note- much of radial aspect is hidden from...

Thanks Jason. ERROR was between keyboard and chair. So 2.5"/2=1.25"x1.25"x3.14=~4.9sq inch x 15psi=73.5lbs.A lot less than the 117 I stated - but still a factor. I'll skip the stem as the valve size is a guess. Ken, I might have to [respectfully] disagree with fuel efficiency being #1. For...

This may intrest some. My D is Switzer 3DM

Thanks for the photo Lee. group, This (turbos)may be my favorite topic. I am just getting into the deuce turbo upgrade so don't want to come across like a 'know it all'. I'm more interested in power than whine. Here are some of my thoughts. Swapping parts is easy. The engineering has already...

Lee wrote- Tired so hope not too many mistakes- I always thought the pistons were the weak link.The LDS pistons are supposed to be stronger to handle its higher boost. Also increasing boost in engines not so designed can create head gasket problems. The solution in cars is to o-ring the...

The thinking must be: " attracting enemy fire safer than running into it [XM757]. LOL. JimK

Good info Ryan,Lanty, NY State regs. on what is an 'exempt' vehicle is similar to fed but offers fewer examples. The one that best applies is recreational vehicle. I called Albany a few years ago and discussed MV's with the expert (NYSDOT Commercial Vehicles). He said a transported...

I did same as Will. Did mine hot (over 170). I had to run it a bit between heads as it cooled down. Best done on cool day. I retorqued my heads before (The gaskets replaced a year eariler).A special wrench needed for a few of the nuts. JimK

sounds like a wheel lock, perhaps something homemade.JimK

Rizzo, You could think of it as an investment. When you sell your truck you'll recover most, if not more, than it cost. The latter could be thought of as getting -paid- to have it. JimK p.s. Some investments do well, some less so (ex: mutual funds) .Few get used while they mature. It might...

Gauges like the Isspro R607VW work electrically. Isspro gauges with 4 digit numbers, like R3607VWR, have a separate 12V signal amplifier. I contacted Isspro to see it there make a 24V version. Tech said that I can use something like a zenier diode...These 4 digit gauges are called enhanced...
