If you want to do this on your own, do yourself a favor and go -5 male ORB to -6 JIC male, then make your turn and hose connection with a corresponding hose fitting with a female swivel nut. Part number should be a 6-5 F5OX-S (I only speak Parker adapters).
If you really want to make it easy...
There's an oring in there, you have a pretty common symptom, pretty well documented. Google search is your friend: there's some fixes out there that require a tool to hold onto the internal piece while you reseal it...
I have heard that the locker duallys do great regarding traction. The electric lockers are now pretty available/cheap if you have a sterling 10.25 axle. I have a set of chains for my dually, wish you were closer as I’d probably give them to you.
Good luck whichever way you go.
Look at the brake line tee, I believe the vent is built into that tee. If the hose is missing it’s hard to find and I’ll bet you two drinks it’s clogged and causing your wheel end issues.
^ Agree with above on spacers: dont use them on anything with more than 5 lug nuts.
I’ve been running the Dynapros on my dually and they are quiet and grip well. I liked BFGs in the past on my 4wd stuff, but they are loud which is what you get with aggressive tread.
Best of luck. Picking a...
If it's 4WD F350, pretty sure it's got a Dana 60 in the front. Should only be one option for brakes on a D60 front axle. Others with more expertise will chime in, but I think you'll have more of an issue with finding somebody who stocks the rotors and calipers locally, but I think you'll be OK.
One thing I was thinking of was the "holiday 50% off at the Pic-n-Pull", where you really might be able to score the battery tray as well as the air box cheaply. I know that most 6.0 PSDs get parted out before they get to the junkyard, but there's a lot of those trucks out there.
Either way...
Very cool rollback. Just wondering: what's the powertrain? I'm guessing stock that should have come with a normally aspirated 6.9 with a T-19, PTO coming out of the transmission?
I thought the lower EGT and response were pretty nice results, especially considering folks who might not want to do an intercooler.
By the way: the filtration of the Donaldson 6.0 filter is considered to be some of the finest available, even being a 20 year old design. If you want to make...
Kudos to staying with it when this install kept adding parts and money. Great documentation and pics too
I wonder how feasible this would be on an OBS truck. Any comments on whether you think this would fit in an OBS engine compartment?
My buddies 6.7 Ram just lost the wastegate actuator, apparently from not ever exercising the exhaust brake. After doing goofy boost stuff for a while, it gave him a check engine light and wouldn’t make any power. >$1000 for the replacement part, and the truck was inoperable until he replaced...
Unless all the fins are paper thin and turn to dust when you lightly run a finger over them, I would try to keep the old radiator if at all possible. I would pull it out using lots of caution, an extra set of hands, and cardboard covering front and rear fin areas to prevent any "whoopsies" as...
Sweet rig. Keep it normally aspirated or find somebody very small, double jointed or both when you need to work on it. I love driving and camping in vans, but I’d rather gather snake venom than work on a van. Working on a turbo’d van is like gathering snake venom in a dark closet.
As a friend of mine likes to say concerning any “pre-carnage”: this factoid seems suspect.
I’ll bet two dozen chicken wings there are bulged, broken or missing springs on your DMF. Pictures will be required please.
Just found out that my buddy’s son is moving. I’ll delete the other thread as soon as I can figure out how but I thought a fresh thread might get more interest.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Just keep in mind when you are looking for old NOS parts that have seals or diaphragms in them, the shelf life definitely matters. Better original built quality vs. the potential for a dried up seal and/or crusty mating surfaces.
