    ZF speedo drive gear question

    I've been having a problem recently with the speedometer reading erratically and cruise dropping off. I removed the speedometer drive out of the trans and found the drive gear was stripped. Checked inside the trans and found that drive gear was also stripped. Here's the question. Can the back of...

    Speedometer is acting up.

    I was driving a dirt road this evening and I hit huge rut. I was going to fast to slow down in time and BOOM:eek: I swear the rear end jumped 3ft of the road. Well right after I noticed the speedo was a little optimistic. I came to a complete stop and the needle just barely sits on the stop. I...

    First good cold start of the year

    It was 31 degrees yesterday morning so I took a video of a cold start. It has custom 0/1 gauge battery cables, a new gear reduction starter, one new battery, and 8 working glow plugs. I thinks winter should be no problem but we'll see:rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cPA0wtnats

    Stronger after turning down 4 flats?

    I got tired of burning through so much diesel so quickly so I turned it down 4FLATS! It still smokes but its fairly light, but know it feels like it pulls so much harder then before like spinning the tires no-problem kind of torque. Weird huh. I'm still burning through as much diesel as before...

    Overhead console and sway bar projects.

    Finished installing an overhead console from a Ford Explorer. I think it turned out well. I also installed Daystar polyurethane sway bar bushings on the front and rear sway bars, now it handles a lot better. http://s1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee399/MGehmanf250/

    I Broke Bean's Dyno!

    Yes an IDI was able to defeat a 1400hp chassis dyno. So I can assume I have 1400+hp right? Here's the story. I was first in line for the dyno, so we get it all set up. The dyno operator was tuning my truck in with the computer cause it matches speed with rpm. Now this is also a load cell chassis...

    Coolant filter questions?

    The coolant filter seems pretty straight forward, but the preloaded SCA thing doesn't make sense. I'm running some truck stop red coolant with SCA's already in it so is it over kill. I did it because the filter head was laying around, thought why not filter my coolant and bypass the heater for...
