    How to use the search function

    I have been trying to search the classifieds for a part, but the search function hasn't really been working for me. For instance, I am have been trying to look and see if there are any brake hose kits listed, so I type "brake hose" in the search and it brings me all sorts of listings. The only...

    Rod Bolts

    Rod Bolts

    Most gas engines used a bolt that passed through the rod, and was held from turning by a shoulder on the head of the bolt. I have worked on an engine (can't for the life of me remember what it was though, but it would have been something old school) that had studs that screwed into the rod. One...

    Rod Bolts

    Why not? Many engines use studs on the connecting rods rather than bolts. What would prevent a person from using a stud and nut in this application?

    Rod Bolts

    I was just thinking about this the other night. Has anyone tried sourcing a stud to replace the bolt, and then just use a nut instead. I imagine it would be a lot easier to find a stud that will do the job rather than these hard to find and very expensive bolts?

    stuck rear rim on hub

    Not too piss anyone off, but as another person that is fairly new to the site, a lot of you kind of come across as really condescending to people that ask questions. In reality, there is a TM that covers pretty much every component and situation that may come up with one of these vehicles. You...

    900a2 series compared to 800 series

    I think it would be a very easy engine to bump the hp up on. In motorhomes they are usually at 335 to 350hp in stock trim, and up to 500hp in marine applications,so I believe it would be just a matter of adjusting the pump up a bit. I was on cumminsforum doing some reading in this engine. A...

    2600mile recovery :)

    Well Sean stopped by the farm this evening. Got to check out the new rig. Man, what an impressive truck! Went for a cruise, the 8.3 is soooo smooth and the auto tranny works great. Biggest thing I noticed was how quiet the truck is. Being able to talk going down the road is sure nice, and the...

    Bahahaha! Just snorted coffee on my computer! Man, looks a lot better than up here. Green grass! I wish, it's been snowing all dang day. How are you running the gps? Does the truck have 12v power too, or are you using an inverter?

    8.3 big cam turbo conversion

    I remember reading something about that on Wikipedia. They called it the gore mail system, then gore mail, and then it just got shortened to Gmail.

    8.3 big cam turbo conversion

    I think everybody is getting it confused with the 8.3 big cam formula ktla 250. The dual turbo setup on those makes it kinda tricky to program the ecm

    Cool, looks like 73m819 got the info already! I'm still trying to download the manual, but it's taking a while.

    2600mile recovery :)

    Hmmm, I had replied but it didn't show up. Anyway, the fan clutch looks a lot like a Horton clutch, which is quite common. Might be able to find parts at a heavy truck place. From what I could find, it should need air to disengage. Easy way to check, when the truck is off and there is no air...
