    Twin Turbo Deuce

    RE: Re: RE: Twin Turbo Deuce the question is not "can" you run twin turbos but why. why? bc you can blow the stock engine on the stock turbo so why would you want to go to all the trouble to make it even easier to scatter the motor? if you want more power turn the fuel up. if thats not...

    M270 hauled off Chambersburg site..

    the M270 turns horribly. it takes 50% more room to turn one of these than any other trailer of the same length has to do with the placement of the wheels(they are as far back as you could get them). An 819 and this thing you will need a half acre(or more) to turn it around. forget ever...

    M813 fording install???

    on the M35's you get the air supply from the front diff swith. I believe on the 809's you get it from the air horn feed line over on the pass side firewall. this is also near where the valve goes on top of the rear most valve cover to pressurize the engine case. It has pics of all the hookups...

    I have a brand new fan shroud. $100 with shipping to you. shipping will be a lot bc it's big and bulky. as I'm sure you have seen, a lot of what your looking for is on ebay right now. good luck with your project and be prepared it's not going to be cheap.

    Oil change interval on a Cummins 250 ? ?

    you are comparing apples and oranges. a truck that sits all year(1000-1500 miles/yr is sitting nearly all year) creates a lot of condensation inside the motor and the oil is hydroscopic itself. yes the oil absorbs water and degrades it's ability to do what it does. I run mine a lot(1k...
