I'm working on doing the HF54 power steering conversion outlined by gringeltaube. I have an idea on how to mate the HF54 with the gamma goat column and would like to know if it seems reasonable. It appears that the HF54 u-joint is the L600 series. Fixed and slip yokes are available in this...

Generally, you won't drag down your 12V battery below ~10% depth of discharge. The minor difference in DOD will self equalize during a normal charge.

My understanding is that it was an update; similar to the R6602's Zenith upgrade. The best carb is, IMHO, the holley 2bbl economaster.

These folks sell the ball studs and can custom build drag links: Superb Products 800-203-1894 Any concerns about the length of the pitman arm? Can the poppet be adjusted to limit travel?

What is the center to center length of your pitman arm?

I think that the best method (and what I plan to do) is use the cad file and CNC mill to drill out the holes of a new frame stiffener. Using the original steering box holes for aligniment, drill out the rest of the holes using the frame stiffener as the template. I'd probably free-hand the...

According to the steering "experts" that I've spoken with, these can simply be blocked off.

I was fortunate to find a steering box this weekend. Wasn't sure if it was going to be a problem having the ports for the assist cylinder but you can see that they are in parallel with the internal cylinder and the steering rebuilder that this shop uses says to just block off the assist ports. 5...

Where does David Brown fit in?

One intersting point is that the cummins has a 20gpm oil pump yet the filters aren't rated for that flow. Part Number:51607UPC Number:765809516076Principal Application:Cummins 5.9L "B" Series Eng, Dodge PU w/Diesel Eng. (89-02), Various HD Equip. (For High Efficiency Fluted Version Use...

My understanding is that it was developed for Case. Here are some of the design details Inside The Cummins 6BT5.9 Inside The Cummins 6BT5.9 To those who are new to the diesel game, the Cummins B-series engine is thought of as an inline-six-cylinder engine that's used in Dodge trucks. In...

There is no benefit to rotating the batteries; top to bottom, right to left, etc. Each receives the same charge.

None of the MAN embellishments are required to make it a multifuel. They may make it easier, but they are not required.

There is ONE thing which makes it a multifuel: high compression ratio. The rest is just embellishment.

Longer battery life, too.

I have seen very large diesel engines which run on natural gas and light off using a diesel pilot injection.

The average deuce alternator is 60A. At 28V and 75% efficient that is ~3.2HP. Not enough of a load to prevent wet stacking no matter the size of the battery bank. There was a paper that came out recently which indicated engine life is cut in half when wet stacked compared to full load operation.

There is ONE thing which allows the engine to burn varioius fuels and that is the compression ratio.

Memphis equipment made a kit to replace the gears and have a manual engagement (REB). I recently swapped out the whole transfer case due to wear issues (not REB related). The REB worked fine. I do not know if Memphis still offers this kit.

The bottom of the goat column is female spline. How did you attach a u-joint? A small section of splined shaft?
