Cat haters! Complaining about hissing under the floor!

That ethanol in gasoline is the sorriest form of theft there is. Every time I am out of town far enough, I buy 'real' gas and enjoy the power and economy. Not only does the ethanol adulteration of the gasoline cost more and will never make a profit because it costs more to grow and process the...

test patterns look ok.

I've always run 300-400 on mine. When I had alll the wheels of the M8109, every drum stud was meticulously washed with solvent and wire brushed and every inner and outer nut similarly cleaned and inspected. Anti-sieze was used on them all, and there has been no issue since. I hope you inspected...

Amazing! 54Reo needs to see this!

Diesel - just what I was thinking - the M818. but I always leave it in 1st gear as an added safety precution against rolling. that plus wheel chocks and the brake.

Nice road train! You traded him thos vehicles for the car?

I wish I could come to your rally. I would like to make a few comments about communications; maybe I shouldn't, because no doubt there are already some experts going to the rally anyway. Feel free to ignore it anyway. In wooded and variable terrain, GMRS is the last thing I'd pick up. I have...

This story and the fact that I drive the highways most of the time is why I always try to get a set of 18-wheeler steer tires on the fronts as soon as possible. The cost of $650 for a pair may seem steep but it is cheaper in the long run because they wear very well. I am always concerned with...

The Cummins NH250 engine is 855 c.i.d. small (2 in.) camshaft engine rated 250 hp @ 2100 rpm with 654 lb-ft torque @ 1500 rpm and clutch engagement torque at 600 lb-ft @ 800 rpm. yeesh 600 Ft Lb @ 800RPM. Just for clutching.. not a working speed no doubt. I had no idea it had any beans down...

The gentleman at CSI was kind enough to count the gear teeth for me. The input gear has 41 teeth and the output gear has 30 teeth. The OD of the case is therefore 0.73170731707317073170731707317073 to 1 I have to give kudos to CSI for taking the time to check a case they had sitting apart in...

The TM says 1500-2100 for the operating range but no other data. For sure the beans drop off real fast. I wish I had the torque curve for it. I've been working on a spreadsheet but can only estimate the torque. No way to measure it. I had though the torque curve for a diesel was pretty flat...

The 400 Cummins suggestion is great. That wil have to wait though. I'm just getting to know the 250. Does anyone have the torque curve for the NHC250? I bought that transfer off epay. The seller ck975 does not seem like a sketchy person and has some trucks for sale as well. This will be the...

I love downloading them things!

I wish they had made them oil-bath types.

OK well let us know how this turns out.

I learned today that there is a 4.92 ratio for the 800 series differentials and at at least the ring and pinion were available. Yes someone out there in truck parts land is sitting on a few. Did not check for the spur and bull gears. Diff gears is the right way to do it of course. I also learned...

Doghead, that is not bad mileage consideing the weight being hauled. I got a bit more coming back from that build, 5.6 on the 16.00's, doing 55-60. In contrast the deuce got 7.2 going there. I saw a couple of aux transmissions today in a shop. I didn't realize how big these things were till I...

check my wanted ad. I found a shop that will help me (big tools..)

That picture was of a temporary setup, the OP took the pic because it looked weird. The thread is very interesting about 5T running gear under a bobbed deuce frame.
