I like the idea of the stock tire setup. Unlike the super singles if you get one flat in the rear you are not dead in the water. Also not trying to carry one monster spare. You have four built in spares if it comes down to it. That is one well thought out rig, well done. Rick

Looking good, .125 extra lift is going to give that motor some real serious grunt in the bottom end as long as the duration stays close to stock. I noticed that when you started it the first time that the exhaust was not hooked up. I usually try to have mine hooked up so I can hear what is...

It really sucks when you have to actually work to play!:twisted::twisted::mrgreen: How many gasket sets have you gone through on this engine? Rick

I took over a truck from another driver that had gotten sick, the truck was already running so all I did was the walkaround and gauge check. Picked up a trailer and after about 50 miles the trailer popped a line. The buzzer did not work! surprise!!!!!!Center lane of I-295 and the brakes slam on...

When you think about it 5 gallons spread out over the bottom of the whole tank is a fairly thin layer. Rick

You only mention 7 glow plugs. What happened to #8? Someone mentioned burning out the plugs with a manual switch, will not happen with the AC60's as long as you are not feeding them over 12 volts.

You are aware that the timing is advanced along with the idle raised during warmup aren't you? The advanced timing will cause a louder than normal rattle but only during warmup. If it is after this time period then there is a mechanical issue and if it is intermittent I would lean towards the...

Couple of ideas, I have seen a lot of 6.2 and 6.5 lifter problems. Mine has one that will tap like **** sometimes. Very seldom it will lose power on the one cylinder. I have just been too lazy to change it, I do not drive the truck that much any more but it has been that way for many thousand...

You know darn well that if it is the same mechanic that is checking for block leaks that did the head gaskets then he already knows what is leaking and he is not going to admit he screwed up. I would also vote for head related, more specifically head gasket repair related hence the reason he is...

Well it definitely looks like a modified starter solenoid. You can see where the housing and been modified by adding the mounting plate and what looks like the boot end of a power brake booster and probably the brake rod. The welding is REALLY sloppy, sort of like coat hanger type of welding so...

I was not going to get involved in this thread since I am not a gunship pilot. I am not a chopper pilot at all. What I am is a ground pounder that had his sorry butt saved on several occasions by gunships in Vietnam. NOW, I am NOT putting anyone down here period. I will say that I have known...

Bingo! You know exactly where I am coming from. That is a part of my job I am not crazy about and I will always give a second chance, no third time charm though. If you are too stupid to figure it out by then............................. And do not even use me as a reference! The guy I mentioned...

:twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted: Just make sure that the stuff that is being used on the truck is not being paid for be a job order at work!!!! Would hate to see someone lose their job just to bling their truck. Actually I not only have seen it I was the one that had to fire the...

Check out post #46.

Just curious why you needed the trailer? That is a lot of trailer to haul around just fore the genset. I just slid mine in the back. Rick

I have noticed over the years I have been on here that you are the first to jump on someone regardless what the situation. Is there some reason for that? He had an emergency and perhaps it was worded incorrectly but other than that it was both informative and also asking advise. I drove a truck...

Well you know how subtle I can be.;-)

Dang Mark, You got some nice looking legs there kneeling down next to your car. :lol: Race training does have its advantages. It has saved my butt on more than one occasion. Rick

Just got the same garbage. F*** them! Yuppie a**holes!

I agree, lose the unistrut! A fist class job needs fist class materials. Then fix the bumper! Rick
