The shift fork isn't what holds the t/c in hi/lo. You have another problem.
Machining detents will only wear out the shift fork from constantly attempting to hold the case in whatever gear is selected.
That hydroboost looks a lot like what's in my f350. I'll pop the hood tomorrow and see if it has that 3rd port on the bottom. Then see if I can trace where it goes.
Is the 6bt cummins longer or shorter than a MF? If it is shorter maybe you could find an allison out of a one ton GM truck and have it beefed up.
If I ever build a bobber its either getting the 6bt or a duramax. I don't hate the multi-fuel, however, it is lacking in every single aspect.
Depends on whether you want a digital readout or analog needle. I prefer digital since I'm going to be tuning and testing till I'm happy with the power but egt's remain at safe levels. I'm going with the aubriens unit. Its around $70-80 if I remember correctly.
I know the difference between a bobber with 14.00-20's with the fuel turned up and my 6x6 on 9.00-20's is night and day. My fuel is not turned up. Waiting for pyrometer and my 395's for that. But rest assured it WILL happen. The power difference is impressive. Especially, with a bobber that...
O and tom you are correct on bulb type fixtures. Park lights are one bulb and blinkers are another. LEDs on the other hand share the same LEDs for both functions.
When my truck had truck lite omnivolts all the way around the stock flasher worked just fine. That is until 3 out of 4 took a dump on me....back to old-fashioned bulbs I went....a real shame since I have LED headlights also. If you still have an old light fixture put it back on the truck and...
Haha you got me there hank. But you plan on putting something there. A lot of people slide the bed up to the cab but don't notch the support rib to clear the cab mount and parking brake. It leaves this 3 inch gap that nothing can be done with.
We went the other direction with our Bob job as far as bed spacing. We did like steve6x6 and notched the center support rib on the front of the bed to tuck that thing nice and tight to the cab. I think having a big gap between the cab and bed looks goofy.
I have been tempted to turn my fuel up but my truck is decent on power. So until I get an egt gauge I'm going to leave it alone. I have the injector pump with no FDC so it would be great to have a video on how to adjust it.
I can't wait to hear about how the new disk brakes perform. O and I'm glad you finally found a brake line maker. Amazing how the smallest and simplest parts can slow you down or flat out halt progress.
