Not all frames were stamped. I've seen a few that didn't have numbers on the frame at all.

These trucks don't have vin numbers they have serial numbers. They only become a vin number when we assign them one when we fill out the sf97 form. In the eyes the law the number on the frame is arbitrary. At this point this person would be doing something more illegal by changing the tags in...

When the tools that are used to evaluate the condition of a 6.2 cost more than a rebuilt 6.2... Run it till it breaks then replace it.

Don't bother giving Uncle Sam any more of your hard earned money than you already do. Go buy a number and letter stamping set from Harbor Freight and change the vin on the frame. The feeling you get in the end will probably be the same and your wallet will be heavier. Besides I doubt that...

I knew what truck you had before I even opened the thread! I've seen a few of those for sale lately. Those ZF axles are super tuff. They're used mostly in all terrain forklifts and boy can they take a beating! I'm assuming by the tittle you probably want to go a little faster in it.

auaauaauaauaauaauaaua I know... I know that rule. I don't know why I didn't stop. I drove right past a friends house. I should have pulled in and shut it down. I was late for a hot date though. I think that was affecting my better judgment.

Are you planing on parting that engine out? If so I might be interested in any good cylinders that are left.

OK. Here's what I'm talking about.

I'll try to get some pictures when it's light out. As soon as I figure out how to load them.

I've got a nice 8v71n and 8v92ta two stroke Detroits sitting in my garage. I'm already salivating at the idea.

Blew up my M923 yesterday. Took the old girl out for a joy ride and noticed it was overheating. Thermostat must have stuck shut or something. I thought I could make it home before any engine damage occurred. Well I was wrong. I was about 500 feet from my driveway when the engine started to...

I was looking over my M817 a couple of days ago and noticed something strange on the engine. There are three different styles of freeze plugs on the heads. Each head has a different style of plug. One head has a typical push in style plug the other two have what looks like screw in style...

Those two guys are having way too much fun by themselves. What kind of power plant were you planning to use? If you were to use a lighter weight drive train then you might be able to get away with the Dana 80/60 axles.

5 pages deep, but on the back cover it finally tells you how to prevent unnecessary repairs.

I've had crankshafts for gas V8's balanced for $60. I think the whole blueprint job costs about $120 ish. With a little know how and a scale you can weight match the pistons and rods yourself.

I would not use a Dana 60 on a Duece. With the weight of that engine and transmission no way. The knuckles on Dana 60 steer axles won't take it. I have broken them before, and it takes less than you would think to do it.

I think Napa can get that seal.

A bobbed Duece weighs 11,000 lbs. Dana 80 max GVWR is 11,000 lbs × 2 axles on truck = 22,000 lbs. That seems like plenty of weight to spare to me. Although they would look kind of funny under the truck.

Wait a minute... Are you saying you found a Dana 80 steer axle? I don't believe I've ever seen one from the factory. What did that come out of?

I believe the solution to this problem would be to have the entire rotating assembly machined and balanced as close to perfect spec as possible. I've read that the cranks are a little out of spec from the factory, and that the pistons and rods are not weight matched very well.
