    Bobbed engine swap and hydo powersteering

    Can you share the length of your draglink? I live two hours from my truck. Having the details really helps me get as much prep'ed ahead of time as possible. I am having the local machihne shop make a sleeve to mate two tie rod ends together.

    Cavitation erosion is mostly limited to wet sleeve engines and those engines with a history of erosion (ie. Ford powerstroke). AFAIK, this is not one of the multi's weaknesses.

    HF54 to Gamma Goat steering connection

    I'm working on doing the HF54 power steering conversion outlined by gringeltaube. I have an idea on how to mate the HF54 with the gamma goat column and would like to know if it seems reasonable. It appears that the HF54 u-joint is the L600 series. Fixed and slip yokes are available in this...

    Pros and cons of Battery Equalizer / Dual alternator

    Generally, you won't drag down your 12V battery below ~10% depth of discharge. The minor difference in DOD will self equalize during a normal charge.

    Zenith Carb Adjustments

    My understanding is that it was an update; similar to the R6602's Zenith upgrade. The best carb is, IMHO, the holley 2bbl economaster.

    Bobbed engine swap and hydo powersteering

    I think that the best method (and what I plan to do) is use the cad file and CNC mill to drill out the holes of a new frame stiffener. Using the original steering box holes for aligniment, drill out the rest of the holes using the frame stiffener as the template. I'd probably free-hand the...

    Bobbed engine swap and hydo powersteering

    According to the steering "experts" that I've spoken with, these can simply be blocked off.

    Bobbed engine swap and hydo powersteering

    I was fortunate to find a steering box this weekend. Wasn't sure if it was going to be a problem having the ports for the assist cylinder but you can see that they are in parallel with the internal cylinder and the steering rebuilder that this shop uses says to just block off the assist ports. 5...

    My understanding is that it was developed for Case. Here are some of the design details Inside The Cummins 6BT5.9 Inside The Cummins 6BT5.9 To those who are new to the diesel game, the Cummins B-series engine is thought of as an inline-six-cylinder engine that's used in Dodge trucks. In...

    Battery Tenders

    There is no benefit to rotating the batteries; top to bottom, right to left, etc. Each receives the same charge.

    Diesel or Multifuel

    None of the MAN embellishments are required to make it a multifuel. They may make it easier, but they are not required.

    Diesel or Multifuel

    There is ONE thing which makes it a multifuel: high compression ratio. The rest is just embellishment.

    Multi Fuel engine on propane?

    I have seen very large diesel engines which run on natural gas and light off using a diesel pilot injection.

    Deuce idle time question

    The average deuce alternator is 60A. At 28V and 75% efficient that is ~3.2HP. Not enough of a load to prevent wet stacking no matter the size of the battery bank. There was a paper that came out recently which indicated engine life is cut in half when wet stacked compared to full load operation.

    If the FDC leaks fuel into the engine...

    There is ONE thing which allows the engine to burn varioius fuels and that is the compression ratio.
