    Cummins Big Cam 400 - intermittently dies?

    I've got a Big Cam I 855 in an old Freightliner that randomly dies like it's running out of fuel - usually when you're on a hard pull. When you spin the filter off, it's full, so you crank the snot out of it and it starts again. Then it might run fine for a week, or it might die in 5 minutes...

    HELP! T444E POWERCHOKE 90psi Comp on three cyl.

    How are the cylinders #'d on a Powerstroke? Are you saying you lost one bank, or every other one down each side? I almost wonder if it isn't something in your lifter rack that went haywire, if it's the former..... I've seen engines that did similar things. I had a used 390 once that did...

    Overheating With Auto??

    Are some coolers better than others, or are they all about the same? I think the tranny's getting to the end of it's lifespan anyhow, and the next one's gonna be a built one, not one of these cheapie remans - does that change the recommendation any? So just a regular air cooler, and cork the...

    Overheating With Auto??

    My company pickup is a '99 4x4 with an auto, and 220,000 miles. From day 1, according to the boss, this thing would heat with a trailer - I've flushed the system, and everything looked perfectly okay, not too terribly dirty, and it didn't seem to make any difference. I'm assuming it's the...

    '95 Ford F-150, good truck?

    I had a '95 with a 302/Mazda 5 speed/3.55 rears. It seemed very high-geared picking up a load, but it was manageable. Now, this could be just rumor, but I've been told some of the 300-I6's had ZF wide-ratios behind them, like came behind the small-block powered 250's. If so, they may have had...

    70's F-500/F-600 with C-6 trans

    The only F-series trucks I've seen had a Morse tower that hung under the dash - I suppose then the column wouldn't necessarily be different.

    '85 351 HO for sale

    I've got a complete smog-legal engine for sale, with ALL the emissions equipment. It's got a new air pump, starter, recent alternator, very recent professional 4 bbl.carb rebuild, and virtually all new vacuum & emmission hoses. It runs like a top, and only has about 1-2 lbs. variance between...

    V-8 Cummins

    903's really weren't all that horrible, but they weren't great, either. I had a couple N/A's in farm tractors, set at 300 hp. from the factory, and they held up pretty good, both got inframes at around 5000 hours and are still kickin' at 7-8,000, last I heard. (They found new homes about 10...

    Try a M.D. BOMB party?

    Well, the only one I spent much time with was a tandem, and it just flat didn't have enough gears. It might be okay for what you're doing with it, a lighter truck and all, but if you end up with a pretty good load on the trailer, it could be a little disappointing. Also, it could have just...

    70s F-600/700 brake drums

    They give about 10 different dimensions for the brake drums, you can actually figure what drums you need without a part number, if you have the hubs mounted on the truck.

    Try a M.D. BOMB party?

    Hey Duke, was that $5200 on the 6613 for just the tranny, or the driveline and everything? I've driven a few 6+1's and really, really didn't like them much......have you looked for a used one? I might be able to help you out with that, but shipping might be tough........

    electric trailer brake question/problem

    Pretty much all the trailers I've ever dealt with had the brake magnets grounded to the frame of the trailer without a separate ground wire all the way to the plug. Most did have a ground wire in the plug, but it just went down the harness and hooked directly to the frame at the end of the...

    70s F-600/700 brake drums

    Okay, if you go to http://www.webbwheel.com/ and dig around a little, they've got a .pdf of their catalog - but it's 84 pages, and I'm on dialup.:eek: LOL It should give you all the measurements you have to take, and give you a Webb part #. I'd bet your IH dealer either is a Webb dealer, or...

    70s F-600/700 brake drums

    Whoops, answered you over at the other place before I saw this'n:D . Offer stands, though. It should be a pile cheaper than going through Ford, too.

    Chrome lug nut covers

    I've got 'em on a couple trucks - it keeps the threads clean and keeps the anti-sieze from splattering all over the rim (on the back, at least). I don't necessarily like the looks, but they actually DO have a sorta-function.
