    Axle assembly part numbers

    Look on ebay, craigslist, the classified section of steel soldiers, or the gov. liquidation site. I see the axles on any one of the sites all the time.

    Axle assembly part numbers

    I don't think there is a part number for the entire assembly. The front is a dana 60 and rear is a gm 14bolt.

    Best gear ratio/mpg combo?

    I have 4.56's gears still with the 700r4 and stock tires, I run about 55-60 mph to work and back, I get about 22-24 MPG.

    diesel fuel additive

    When my semi gelled up I stuck a short rod in the tank, it was like jello in the fridge! Can't see the fuel in the pickup though. If you were driving along and it gelled truck would probably stall before it got to a gelled state, the filter would get clogged as the fuel got thicker.

    diesel fuel additive

    I use stanadyne over power service, stanadyne is cheaper and uses a lot less per fill up compared to power service. Power service uses almost a whole quart per fill up, stanadyne uses only 4-6 ounces per fill up. Every time I have ever used power service my fuel gels up. I have had better...

    diesel fuel additive

    Yes you are correct Blybrook, Alaska has a lot different fuel, probably because it doesn't get down to -50 degrees here like it does in Alaska. lowest I have ever seen it was -25 and that only lasted for 2 nights, average temp is usually around 0-10 degrees. ODDave some stations still haven't...

    diesel fuel additive

    Sorry Blybrook but I haul fuel for a living and summer blends will gell at around 10-20 degrees, winter blends are only good at most stations down to -5 degrees. Very few stores like the big customer we do "Meijer" put an additive in the fuel. Are additive takes it down to -20 cloud point or...

    Transmission help

    your cheapest option is too install a 700r4, I put one in mine, all the parts including buying trans came too 400 dollars. I can run 70-75 down freeway now and have a lower first gear for pulling loads. There is a lot of aftermarket parts available also for these trans, and there cheap to rebuild.

    hho injection?

    Power, Control, Greed. Here maybe this can help a little: Trailers | Who Killed the Electric Car? Yes electric cars are neat but I still like my diesel, my point of posting this link is to show the corruption of the auto makers, even the epa, and government. Maybe this link will help with the...

    Total Lighting Failure

    I'm having this same problem, the 25 amp fuse for the lights fits very loose in the fuse box and the terminals in the box are also loose, and when I push on the fuse blue and red sparks flash through the fuse. Going to have too fix the box asap, really annoying and scary too lose all the lights...

    hho injection?

    This guy thought outside the box just like zerogas, here is the link: Shade Tree Conversions at Shade Tree Conversions. Another man that thought outside the box was Tesla, he could send electricity wireless through the air and power an entire house, and that was back in the early 1900's...

    hho injection?

    Here is another interesting fact, why is it that my friends 93 dodge cummins gets 23-25 mpg and all these wonderful fuel saving dodge diesels there coming out with are barely getting 14mpg? Looks like a scam too me.

    hho injection?

    Its funny you say that about the auto makers, I find it very ironic that my neighbors 57 Pontiac gets 22-24 mpg, yet my 2003 Pontiac only gets 21-22 mpg. His 57 Pontiac is a v-8 347, has a carburetor and no electronics yet gets better gas mileage than my v-6 3.4L with all its so called fuel...

    hho injection?

    I helped a friend build a hydrogen generator for his car, he gained about 6-8 miles per gallon. One problem with the hydrogen generator is you basically have a hydrogen bomb in your car, one back fire and kabooooooom. Ya it was a fun experiment, we even made a hydrogen launcher, kinda like a...

    Insuring a CUCV (protecting an Investment)

    I am only paying 40 a month for PL/PD, my insurance agent said what ever I insure it for when I get full coverage, that is what the insurance company pays if it is stolen or totaled out due to an accident, so if it is insured for say 5000 than that is what they will pay me.

    Best source for D60 front bearings/seals

    I just purchased all the bearings and all the seals, along with both hub U-joints, and upper king pin bushings from ORD for around 425.00, that was for the torrington bearings that are made in USA, the china bearings and seal kit was 195.00 I think. Torrington bearings are the original bearings...

    Insuring a CUCV (protecting an Investment)

    My agent told me too get an appraisal then he would insure it for that amount, I asked him if it would be worth 10,000 how much would that be per month, he said about an extra 5 dollars per month for full coverage verses just PL-PD (personal liability and property damage).
