    Good morning! Been MIA for a while, but looming around again! As far as Benzes go, I've had a lot...got 5 now. I used to be completely SOLD on the old style OM617 engines....Indestructable, dependable and reasonable power. Don't worry, I haven't tossed them, just broadened my horizon a bit. I...

    Compression "Jake Brake" for a 12 Valve!

    When test driving in slower gears like 3rd to 2nd, if your on a gravel road or parking lot, it'll slide the tires from the braking effect! Even on the Semi's I have driven, the brake is more effective at the slower speeds...."mass in motion tends to stay in motion"...kind of deal. There's also...

    Nissan SD33 Diesel in a 2WD Jeep Cherokee?

    SD-33?? Go for 4BT!! I've had several SD-33T s in scouts and they're kind of cool and all cuz they came that way, but I sure wouldn't go out of my way to put one in something else. They only make about 95hp, the injectors need re-tipping every 35-40k miles and they otherwise just kind of...

    Who has a high output N/A engine?

    HHmmmmm......Physics and the laws of thermal dynamics will dictate otherwise......No Matter WHAT you do to one of these engines, it Only has the capacity to efficiently burn the amount of fuel it has the air to burn! A good used forced induction system, i.e. Turbocharger, will give a bone stock...

    Hey C.G. Not only do I drive my diesels every day....all day, but if I just need to run into town for groceries or parts or whatever, I take one of 4 or 5 of my trucks sitting around....which ever one strikes my mood at the time.

    Allison AT 545 Auto???

    Good morning all. Has anyone attempted a "performance" build on an Allison 545 tranny? I've got these in several trucks, they seem to be bullet proof, but they're horrible "slushboxes", most of the time it's hard to tell when it's shifting! Wouldn't one of these be a good HD alternative if...

    Thanks guys, I typed in every word string I could think of and waded through hundreds of useless parts and didn't find that one. That's better than $110 from the NOS guys! Edwin

    C-6 Shift Controller??

    Does anyone know what to do for the vac controller that goes on the side of the injection pump for a C-6? Mine has gone bad, the dealer says Ford no longer offers that part, and all the junk ones that I've found are just that....junk. Found a retro NOS parts place that has one for over...
