Alamo truckstop has them in the store.

Hey another CA member..update your profile Bruce!

I assume you're taking 95? Don't forget, there's some parts of that you might want the extra stability of the other tires on that road.

I think a large part of the problem is the spread of the gear ratios in the tranny. It'd be nice to have a few more gears. There's a lot you can do to boost the performance of these motors. #1 give it more fuel, but when you add fuel you also increase exhaust temperatures so a pyrometer needs to...

Sounds for sure like torque converter or flex-plate. Not uncommon for the flex plates to crack.

Ironhorse is right, make sure you have a good ground!

Yep, www.flmv.net

Last I remember Front Line had CUCV fuel filter bases NOS, I ran out of them a few years ago.

Also, you'll have to remove the front driveline, and the one between the rear axles, or at least that's what Exhaust Readers in Colorado Springs made us do. Didn't matter if it was air shift or not, they didn't want to risk it.

No, just a diesel performance addict...it's as addicting as collecting these green trucks<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_clown.gif" alt="Clown">

Oh yeah LOL, forgotted that part. Pacbrake http://www.pacbrake.com/products/index.html or B-D http://www.bd-power.com/mhome/product.php?pn=Exhaust%20Brakes&tt=mh Neither have the remote mounts listed, if I get a chance this weekend I'll go to my buddies shop and look up part numbers.

Yeah, more than once in Colorado I had batteries freeze up on me. ONce they freeze they usually are done for. My trucks always started no problems in 10 degree weather in Colorado, nowdays I'm a wimp...I won't even open the door if it's below 40 outside.

Exhaust brake is basically a valve (butterfly or guillotine) that blocks off the exhaust flow creating backpressure in the engine and slowing your vehicle down. There are several types from manual or cable actuated, electric valve or air operated valve (i'd recommend the air since you already...

Bummer. Might head up to the show/swapmeet in Gridley this weekend, I know someone there will have one.

Try some bio-diesel, some diesel heads in Denver that I know have said it works wonders for passing the opacity test.

Exahust brakes work wonderful on any diesel. There's plenty of companies that make a remote mount 3.5" brake that uses air. I wouldn't be without one!

Are you sure the pump is dead? There is a fuse in the top cover (cover with three nuts securing it)that many people don't know about. If you need a new one they are usually in the $250+ range....

Cheating is having a 5 ton wrecker so you can tow it home and fix it there LOL

You can find good condition takeouts pretty reasonable, and most of the places that have them will test fire them for ya. Sarry to hear the bad news. These motors are actually pretty easy to swap out....assuming you have some sort of a good hoist or something.

A lot of the beds I've seen have had natural holes in them after the factory ones clogged up, standing water was good at making them. Although, they were'nt nice and round and generally weakened the front of the bed and over time would keep growing.
