Ok, I have done the math. These numbers are slightly approximate and remember, this is the Dana 60 as that is what I have apart. I measured 12.3 threads per inch on the nut. That means each turn is 1/12.3 inches of movement. I counted 16 holes in the locking washer. It is reversible so it has...

There shouldn't be preload. Tapered roller bearings need 0.001-0.003" of clearance. This applies to a very wide range of applications. I would think the 50ftlbs is to seat the bearing and each locking position is 0.003" apart. So, as long as you've backed it off and stopped by the next locking...

I have wired up other generators in 12 lead before. I don't see why this one would be different. 416V is close enough to 480V you should be able to run at full rating. You would likely have to derate for 380V. Depending on the type of sensing for your AVR, it it wants 200V range you simply sense...

I don't know this application specifically but a little lube can help the parts slide past each other. You MUST NOT use petroleum based lubricants for the EPDM rubber seals. Use silicone or Teflon based lubricants only. Your DOT 5 brake fluid actually works well here as it is silicone oil.

Did you lubricate it?

If you're going to run a 10w30 oil it needs to be an API C oil, not API F. For example, Chevron Delo 400 SDE is ok. Chevron Delo 400 ZFA is not ok.

Anything you want. I had to cut right up to the rivet nuts for the glow plug ballast resistor. I have not renwed the body mounts yet. I went this route with the intention of adding air conditioning in the future. You're going to have to build a small doghouse to clear the exhaust but the gas...

The only. Serious problem I see on these engines is the fire ring of the head gasket wears into the top deck of the engine block. I put Cometic gaskets in my engine but they require a specific surface finish. I'm not a big fan of Cometic products, either.

Negative, I did a ORD zero rate to offset the front axle 1.5 inches forward and put 37 inch tires on. This gives a better cruise. I had a choice, spend $1200 on a transmission for OD or $1200 and get some sweet tires.

In case anyone is else is dumb enough to try this, I finally reached a milestone putting a center mount 6.5 in my CUCV. I'm just hoping it gets rid of that drone at 55mph 😉.

This is the locknut and tool for the Dana 60. Tool is PT W83010 $15ish

I can't remember exactly but I think the Dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear take the same socket. Both nuts use the same socket. 12 is a washer.

I just realized I have two 6.2 vintage crossover pipes. If you have a better pic I can confirm match. Give $50 and I'll pay for shipping, I think. That's a lot cheaper than the $300 ebay ones.

If you can post a picture of the line I can help find one that won't rupture again.

The GM 14 bolt axle is one of the most highly produced axles. They are always in junkyards. Should be easy to find parts. You could also go the industrial supply route. You can get a knurled pin and cut your own groove, maybe with a hacksaw. McMaster-Carr Page...

Not anti-seize. That stuff is a thread lubricant to prevent galling during tightening. It has poor corrosion protection once it's base oils evaporate away. Much better to use a silicone or Teflon based grease. Dielectric grease is most common for silicone, I use Dow Corning Molykote 111, it's a...

My engine swallowed a piece of a star washer some time back. It embedded in the piston vs being ejected but not before scoring a cylinder. It also made a nasty knocking noise until it embedded.

On the bottle, look for the API oil category. https://www.api.org/products-and-services/engine-oil/eolcs-categories-and-classifications/oil-categories#tab-diesel-c-categories In the past, all oils marketed for diesel engines were C category. Typically, any changes superceded previous...

The 3rd and 4 digits on the part number are the pump size. DB2829 and DB2831 I believe. The 6.2 engines all came with DB2829-**** pumps. The hottest 6.5 pump was the DB2831-4911
