Yep, the NOx and particulates in diesel exhaust actually contain a daily allowance of vitamin C.

No stock 302 ever put out 190HP.

We have the Panasonic 261 Gunslinger at the farm. Works very well for thin and thick metals and was priced very well. Was priced ~$2100 when we bought it several years ago. http://www.panasonicfa.com/pdfs/Gunslinger%20261.pdf I would buy the Miller 211MVP if I were to buy one to use at home.

MIG sucks for thick metal? Really? Maybe your welder isn't rated for what you are trying to do.

I haven't been able to find numbers for the LDT. I woudl be surprised if they were much different. The 5.9 cummins is a very fair comparison as the peak torque occurs at the same speed (2000 rpm) and peak horsepower is within 100 rpm.

5.9 Cummins with VP44 0.334 BSFC minimum at 2000 RPM, for an efficiency of 41.2% 0.365 BSFC at maximum horsepower, for an efficiency of 37.7%

Found this with a quick search: 8V92: 0.345 BSFC minimum at 1700 RPM, for an efficiency of roughly 39.8%. 0.355 BSFC at rated horsepower, for an efficiency of roughly 38.7%. Series-60: 0.311 BSFC minimum at 1550 RPM, for an efficiency of roughly 44.2%. 0.315 BSFC at rated horsepower, for...

If you read the text books on engine design, the ONE factor enabling multifuel-ability is high compression ratio. There have been other multifuel engines which have neither a fuel density compensator nor the MAN combustion chamber design. That said, having really high compression ratio causes...

I finally got back to the power steering after several weeks. During that time, all of the air had worked out of the system resulting in a normally working system. I did replace the 1kpsi pump with a 1.5kpsi pump purchased of off ebay, though, to increase available force. The mistake that I...

It is actually really easy to use a torch to cut off the heads and not gouge the frame. Heat the heads up and use just little bit of air to blow the head off. Let it cool and pound the remainder it out.

Agreed. However, according to the state of SD, removing an axles is not a problem.

It has been awhile since I have done this; I hope that I remember it right. I believe that I pulled the seal from the outside. I kept track of all of the seal part numbers but they are at work. Should be able to find it tomorrow.

I did this a few years ago. I removed the passenger seat and floor panels to access the small cover on the top of the transfer case. There is a set screw and safety wire, which when removed, allow you to pull out the shift rod. Then use a seal puller to remove the seal. Replace the seal and...

Impact of Gasohol on the L-141 and LDT-465-1C Engines.

There is a study onine which examined using ethanol in the LDT; I recall the results weren't good. IMHO, using "alternative" fuels is like dumpster diving for a half-eaten donut.

I spent ~$50 to $70 each off of ebay. They are significantly improved from the simple holley and zenith. Specifically, they have better (economaster) boosters, two stage power valve, and reverse idle. Much better driveability.

You will be fine with a good paper element. You could probably even use the multifuel air filter.

The Holley economaster is easy to attach and works MUCH better than the stock carb.
