    Has anyone had a fender bender?

    Belt driven turbo/ supercharger

    Yea, I know exactly how big they are. I've been operating heavy equipment for almost 30yrs, and have run them in equipment and a few boats along the way.

    Belt driven turbo/ supercharger

    belt driven turbo/supercharger Hea skinny, There is no way a 4BT@130HP is going out perform a banks turbocharged 6.2@195+HP. My 6.2 Banks/700r4 does everything I expect it to do. At highway speeds I'll stay with any stock Ford or Dodge diesel pickup. That 4BT/700r4 conversion is a $1000 for the...

    Swollen plugs already.

    Go back to that guy and ask him why he diddn't put the plugs in that you had for him to install. As said above, how do you know he even did the work? That is B-S big time! It's like you just can't trust anyone to do the right thing.:evil: Better off doing the work yourself and not getting ripped...

    Pulling my hair out! Please help before it goes to the scrapper.

    Good point by rickf, An inexperienced mechanic will perform the repair as if it were a gasser. Just slapping gaskets on it witthout determining what caused it to fail in the first place. Putting bad heads on new gaskets doesn't accomplish anything. If it were me, I would either get the heads...

    Olds engine in CUCV?

    Ah No, Detroit Diesel was not a subsidiary of GM. Detroit Diesel, Allison, Terex EMD, Delco, Munce, Rochester, Fridgedare were divisions of GMC. If anything, Isuzu could be considerd a subsidiary of GMC as they jointy produced light and medium duty trucks since the late 70s. The Chevy luv was...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

I put these adapters on a 86 C10 I had, changing the bolt pattern from 5 lug 15in Chevy truck to a 5 lug 15in Chevy Corvette rally wheel with BF goodrich TAs. Long story short, I went through two sets up front as they cept breaking...
