SAE patterns are same, but we are finding different depths for various auto transmissions used, for torque converter or front coupling clearance. Wes Simpson just converted his 923 to a 7155 trans, and said it required a flywheel housing unique to it. I am doing a 13 speed conversion in my...
Chinese clone at that price level? If so, I would have rather went with a used genuine Holset one, but the hot rodders are having decent luck with Chinese turbos on their budget builds. Will be interesting to watch.
Differences in percent don't work out directly correct, I think.
Circumference = Pi x Diameter. Difference of 48" to 53" is 5". So then 48/5=0.10=10%.
A1 or A2 truck that went from 14.00 to 16.00 should have speedo reading about 10% too slow. 50mph ground speed should show up on truck...
You have no idea what they did and did not do. In addition to that, a lot of mistakes have come out of "rebuilds". Replace the flexible suction lines regardless, as they may not have been changed. New filters, and check tank dip tube. All very common problem areas. If still an issue, move...
Important portion of above in addition to general maintenance is replacing the flexible lines on the suction side of the fuel system. Really should be considered step 1 on trucks of this generation and age, as it is a known issue, and is one of the causes of what you are experiencing. Also be...
I just grabbed the Curt 15400 on clearance for $122 and free ship from Amazon clearance center (mounting bolts missing), normal lowest online price was $180. Just FYI, great place to look. It just showed up in a search.
When the truck gets 22mpg and pulls a 12 second quarter mile, you'll all be looking for $2,000 400hp ISL's to stuff in your 9-ball like I did. :deadhorse:
I've seen the 13 speed for $500.
I'm listening.
MRAP uses this same engine at the same power rating. Check my thinking though: The MRAP T-case is always front engaged to the tune of 40% or so? What else about it? More on the axle too, any advantage over the front axle I have now?
You guys are great. I'll bring this to...
It looks like the compressor wheel retaining nut came off and was swallowed. You should find it embedded in the piston of one cylinder, the others should be ok. Pull the head off before you order parts, you may need less than you think. I think the worst you will need is one piston and maybe...
Understood, thanks. Can you take one more measurement? Seems industry goes from U joint bearing ear centerline to far end of spline. Reference pic below, measurement J (tap to zoom):
I was was able to spin off the spline seal on mine and measure the spline. It is also 2.5" OD and 16...
