    moving tandem axles?

    If i did one i would make a fuel tank to go between the frame rails in the back rather than have it in the bed.....But if you are going to do it why not put 5 ton suspension under the rear with the 2.5 ton axles and run 53s on it ..

    Start of my crane truck project

    LDT465 is not a diesel.. It is a multifuel and has a totally different combustion cycle.. This is why they don't like long idle times.When you excesively idle a multi it will carbon up and have issues. They rely on high cyclinder temps to keep things working correct.There is a technical article...

    I have seen some balljoint style before to.I am in the process of making a kit that goes on the bolts that are hold the dogbone brackets to the axle..

    Lowtech my brackets are built to use the stock pulley that has been drilled to 7/8 with the stock belts ..If you use different belts or pulley you most like will have issues ..

    M35 Replacement alternator

    Your install is correctExcept you need both belts on there and you need to install the nut and lock washer on the bolt going through the adjusting arm into the alt.. The small wire is not used as the alt is a one wire alt.. All that needs to be hooked up is the ground and the main hot wire which...

    M35 Replacement alternator

    The part number for the pulley depends on the bracket... there are different belt widths, different diameters,and different off sets.. the offset is the biggest issue..
