    Cummins to ZF

    Well I have had my 1st gen Cummins in my 91 Ford for about a year now and and sick of the auto transmission (I have always preferred manuals but worked with what I had). I have been looking for a NV4500 for awhile but they aren't easy to find around me and when I do they want an arm and leg for...

    Torque converter

    Yeah the cable is hooked up then and I am not all that familiar with these trannys and am always trying to learn more like why I have had to check it in neutral. Thanks for the info. I just ordered the DTT billet converter which should get to me in a few weeks so I will see how that one works.

    Torque converter

    Yeah I know it is a non-lock up and looking back I probably should have gone lock up but I have already had the tranny rebuilt so I am going to stick with it for now. Gearing in my truck would be 4:10 with 35" tires. Fuel mileage sucks in everything I drive so I am used to it. Not sure what the...

    Torque converter

    Anyone had any experience a DTT torque converter? Just reading on other forums that some people were having good luck with them and wondered if anyone here uses one.

    Torque converter

    Yeah this thing got hot to the point it took all the paint off the converter. They tranny lines seemed to be flowing freely but that is something I am going to check tomorrow when it is up on the lift. The guy who rebuilds my transmissions said he has seen this happen a few times before and...

    Torque converter

    Well if it is not one thing it is another. I've been driving the truck 3 days now and I went and hooked it up to a trailer to haul a scrap car in and I fried my converter (no I did not use overdrive). I have just had this tranny rebuilt and have a low stall converter in it (precision converter...

    Turbo on a 93.

    Where would I find the size of the exhaust housing? I pulled the engine out of a 93 dodge and the guy who owned it said he had left it all stock. I had the truck out again today and was messing with it and was able to hit 15 pounds but was with the pedal on the floor and the motor screaming.

    Turbo on a 93.

    Turbo on a 93.

    Well I started taking it from a port that I read people were taking it form on another thread and got that low reading so wanted to try it somewhere else so I drilled a hole and taped right into the intake horn.

    Turbo on a 93.

    Well its not in the gauge because I hooked up my old 15psi gauge I ran on the idi I had to check and it read the same. Also thought of the leak around where I tapped in but I should have been able to hear or feel that when I hooked up the air leak tester to it(maybe i'll put some seal all or...

    Turbo on a 93.

    I have lost very little oil I left the pipe off and it is just a few drops dripping out. As for tranny I have the 518. No I do not have a fuel pressure gauge on it but she blows a little black smoke so it is getting enough fuel to do that.(Not sure it makes a difference but i forgot to mention...

    Hey I have a 93 cummins with a stock turbo on it with a new fuel pin from PDR, 3200 spring, the pump just barely turned up(plan to really turn it up when I get new injectors), and I have a cone air filter on it (you can really hear it whistle). I just put my boost gauge in and i can barely hit...

    Burning oil

    Okay thanks. I guess i am going to have to break down and take the intake boot of and have a look. Not really a fun one to get to but i need to do it before there is any major damage done if i haven't done any already. I am still new to the world of turbos is it a job anyone can do to replace...

    Burning oil

    Well i have a 9.1 7.3l with an aftermarket turbo set. I am burning A LOT of oil and am also leaking a lot. The leaking from what I can figure and what many others have agreed with is the valley pan gasket. But the oil I burning is what worries me. It blows out a huge cloud of smoke every time I...

    what things should I look for when buying a truck.

    I am going to look at a 93 dodge 4x4 tomorrow and i am just looking for some suggestions or anything i should specifically look for on Cummins engines. I do know some about diesels so don't need the extreme basics just haven't messed with Cummins before so figured i'd ask the pros.
