excellent work. looks like plenty of room between tire and door for jerry can and jack. back up camera might be helpful, just mount it low so you can see your hitch also, for connecting trailers. maybe just camera tricks but the tire looks huge on the back of the truck. I really think you need...

yes, I put my old flex plate up to the new one and rolled it around. The two flex plates match up well and not at an angle. I don't think anything is wrong with the flex plate. I am leaning to just having one starter rebuilt with new Bendix gear. Maybe the old gear is more worn than I think...

If you could let me borrow a 24 volt redux just to test with, I will deliver it back to you. If anything happens to it I will replace with new. my worst fear is that the starter bolt holes were drilled out of line, I am also considering putting the old flex plate on, this will be very...

Nice to see that it is on the road and being fine tuned, I prefer that terminology over getting the bugs out. What starter are you using. I am trying to decide if I should by a new starter. can't get my direct drive 24 volt to line up. I have two, tried both. Wondering if a new gear reduction...

you can build a manual controller for the 4l80e. I believe it takes 4 toggle switches and the wire harness pigtail that plugs to the tranny. So it can be build out of scrap electrical parts, there are plans somewhere for it on the net. I plan to build one to have handy if mine fails. I don't...

Maybe a different gasket compound is needed. I use the high tack aviation gasket sealant and have had no problems on anything I have used it on. It stays soft and sticky. I just changed my valve covers back to gasket from the RTV. taking the other side of my valve cover off to replace the...

the compushift looks like it has a few more fetures and options. my controller is US shift 1, i do not know what is different from the shift 4 I have dual transfer case that will get me serious engine braking without needing computer to control that in the tranny but sounds like a nice...

Ok, I believe I have that but I will check to make sure when I get back to my line work. I know there are two different ones, the longer one is about 1 1/2 inches longer than the shorter one and it sticks into the tranny so you really cannot tell the difference from the outside. So apparently...

no, I know about the hole in the output area, I do not have mine plugged. I did a two wheel to 4 wheel conversion so I still have the hole. My tranny connects to an ORD magnum planetary drive which has a good front seal so I have had no issues so far. IF I was connecting to the t-case...

'There is also a special long tube adaptor that has to be used on that rear line or the transmission will die very quick'. do you have more info on this. I have the rear oiler version and I just extended my existing lines to the tranny. I am in the process of many changes which include a...

How much lower does the GEP pan hang than the stock th400. I am wondering if it works with the ORD cross member. I plan to put that motor in my 1009 some day and I already have the cross member. you can't slide you hand between the pan and cross member, it crosses at the motor mounts and not in...

Many years ago (1991 and 92) I worked a few days in the juvenile facility in giddings. I worked for national guardian and we had the contract for the fire system monitoring and some of the card readers. I had to do some work in what they told me was the worst area. It was really strange...

most of my family is A&M graduates. My sister graduated in 90. she was an 'industrial distribution' major. my cousin would have graduated the core in 87 or 88 but quit when he finished his junior year and never went back. I was a freshman in 89, only made it one semester then went to blinn in...

I will wait until you get it finished. I am pretty busy right now with work and the purchase of an office in Bryan. The office was an old car repair place and I get the three vehicle lifts that are in the building. I am going to keep one for sure if not two but will have one to get rid of...

Has anyone used the 1aauto for the vent windows. I have a set of lmc rubber for the vent windows sitting on the shelf but because of the bad reviews I have not put them on. The only new seals I need are the vent windows. I used lmc on everything else (blazer) TOP, doors, side windows, with no...

I plan to make an engine swap in the near future, I want to get the rest of my build done first. Keep us posted on the intake install. I plan to use the 6500. Doing a cummins or d-max is not worth the money and a 1009 does not need that much. If the 6.2 or turbo intake does not work, It would...

http://leroydiesel.com/products/amg-optimizer-long-block/ I think I pasted the wrong link. They have both the P400 and optimizer. they call one GEP optimizer and the other GEP p400. They have an oil pan supposedly for either to fit the square body. I am just looking for a motor with a...

Not trying to hijack your build thread but I may be closer to my end goal than I thought. correct me if I am wrong but I need this : http://leroydiesel.com/products/p400-6-5-long-block/ a correctly built DB2 pump and banks 7.3 turbo and I can move everything else from my 6.2 to have a...

So what I need to get is a GEP turbo 6.5 long block. put a 6.5 manual IP. From the 6.2 I use the rocker arms, intake, my banks exhaust manifold, all my alternators and brackets unless I find the special serpentine system. I then just put on a bigger banks turbo That sounds too simple, what...

I am watching. I want to upgrade to a 6.5 gep but was hoping to take everything from my 6.2 and put it on the 6.5 long block. I think I would need a different IP but everything else should bolt up. I have a banks turbo. I want to use the same manifolds if I can. Not sure how a banks 6.2 turbo...
