    rear end identification

    Yep, thats the one! Take it out before you pull the cover, that way you don't mess up your new paint when the wrench slips off it to remove it for filling the axle.

    rear end identification

    I need to edit the filling process. It goes in the hole in the cover, Dana axles have no pinion nose filler plugs. I was thinking of another (GM) type of axle.

    rear end identification

    Rear gear oil change is a piece of cake. The hardest part is cleaning the old gasket off the cover. Some like to use silicone instead of a gasket. I prefer to use spray on weatherstrip adhesive to the cover side of the gasket. Let it tack up and install it on the axle cover. Then I smear a thin...

    rear end identification

    The definitive solution will be to pull the cover and read the numbers on the ring gear and divide the little number into the big one. 5.13 gear would be pretty rare and I suspect even with a 32 inch tire you would still not be able to reach the speeds you mentioned. 55 mph would prety much be...

    It literally may be sh*t! Maybe you could carefully wire brush it off...with the wind at your back.:D

    rear end identification

    The metal tag on the left side between the 2 bolts should have axle info stamped into it also. The place on the casting I was referring to is the spot that has the diamond shape cast into the housing. Maybe the other numbers in the web above it will tell you what axle it is. I just remembered...

    rear end identification

    If you do take the time to remove the rear axle cover and change the gear oil, you will find some numbers stamped on the edge of the ring gear. Those numbers tell you the ring and pinion count. Dividing the small number into the big one will result in the gear ratio. An example would be 41-10...

    '89 F250 ext cab 4x4 with a ton of new parts PNW

    Sounds like a great starter truck for the price! Too bad it was not in So Cal or it would be in my driveway Sunday!

    intake tubing ?

    How about black plastic sewer pipe and rubber couplers with clamps?

    Fuel Sending Unit HELP...

    Check this place outhttp://www.centroidproducts.com/. Guy built an F250 on www.GoFastBroncos.com called the BajaF250 and built his own tank, but used the stock Ford fuel guage. This is three wires but one is a ground. I think he paid around $65.00 shipped for this one. Check out the truck, It...

    Crew Cab Update..... No photo's...Sorry

    Kind of interesting, most engine rebuild kits for gas engines assume you will deck the block and the replacement pistons are usually 20 thousandths shorter than stock pistons. How much would it cost to have your stock pistons milled as opposed to buying new? Seems like the secret to getting...

    The New NMB2 build is alive

    What got me thinking about the pump is the inlet cone I think is the same (in the center of the discharge side of the pump) on both pumps. My thought was that if the pump turns opposite then the fuel lines would just have to be rerouted to go to the proper injector according to the firing order...

    The New NMB2 build is alive

    His buddy racinganddrumming has an interesting build too. He has taken a stock intake and split it, mounted the turbo in front passenger side of engine, with studs etc. He has maintained a stock compression ratio and does not plan too much boost. Should be interesting to see the videos of both...

    86 GMC K10 Excab

    I don't remember if the 4wd CUCV K30 pickups had dual exhaust or not. I know the 2wd 6.2 engines had them from the factory on some or all. Should be easy to find online to see if they can be purchased. As I recall the head pipes from the exhaust manifold to the mufflers were 2.25 or 2.5 inches...

    86 GMC K10 Excab

    Those are built on a longbed chassis with a short bed right? If so then an exhaust system from a miltary diesel longbed truck will bolt right on. Not sure how many of those extra cabs survived, but most are in the midwest. I've never seen one in Arizona,Nevada,Utah, Oregon, Washington,Montana...

    My truck and the 4x4 ZF swap

    Not bad considering roughly 800lbs of motorcycles in the bed and flat towing a 3500 lb (roughly) 4wd Ranger.

    My truck and the 4x4 ZF swap

    This is still NA and the change is the stick only? I assume you ran the 4.10s with the C6 for a little while correct? What gear did you climb the pass in and what was your speed? The clutch working OK now? The truck looks real nice. Will the injector replacement include an upgrade in fuel...

    My truck and the 4x4 ZF swap

    Simple trig? Thats funny right there. Your simple trig is about ten stories above my mathematical skills. The fact that your springs are not quite straight may negate some of your calcs, but great way to figure it. For me I would have to run a string from the front mount to the shackle at...

    My truck and the 4x4 ZF swap

    If you run the rear shackles through the frame you will probably lose an inch or so of lift. Do you plan on diesel front springs at that point, or just keep you tire size to about 32-33" (285/75x16)? Did you measure your caster or just happen to luck out. I've driven 2 older Fords in th last...

    My truck and the 4x4 ZF swap

    Nice work. What size block will you need to even up the rear? What size tire are you going to run later, anything bigger than what you have? You will not be cutting the fenders or wheeling this hard I suspect. It is way to nice for that. I saw in another thread someone had the same trouble you...

    burb-o-matic in the fleet.....

    Never had much experience with Dodge trucks. Used to own Fords in the sixties and early 70's. Points and the new duraspark? were a pain in the hiney. Had Chevys concurrently and just changed the oil, lubed them and changed the points once a year. Then HEI's came out and that was it, owned Chevys...

    burb-o-matic in the fleet.....

    Your welcome. I've learned more about Ford IDI diesels here in 2 days than I really wanted to know. Since I am a big Chevy guy (except diesels) I thought I would share some of that knowlege. The Ford/IH idi seems to be the best choice for me to purchase an inexpensive diesel truck for off road...

    burb-o-matic in the fleet.....

    Yes it is, another giveaway on the 10 bolt is the cast ears on the bottom. Dana 44's don't have them.
