    New way to repair firewall crack

    works really well right until you hit something hard head-on then you get a stick of EMT coming through the dash to say "hi"

    T19

    Cannot seem to find it now but I had a post in the marketplace from a long while back. I pulled the drivetrain from my 84 and refreshed everything and decided to go cummins instead halfway so I have a refreshed and painted ford blue T19 and a refreshed 1345 available for sale if interested... oh...

    death wobble...how have you fixed it?

    If that is the case... the trac bar should be holding it in position... the only thing left for movement would be bushings... on the trac bar and the springs/shackles. Also maybe toe-in the tires a bit?

    death wobble...how have you fixed it?

    make sure the bracket for the track bar is beefy enough and not flexing try to match the angle of the pitman arm to the trac bar rotate tires around from the back as once the have been worn with poor geometry, they can potentially cause problems

    Do these meters work?

    I used a clamp-on tach for my mechanically injected cummins and it works (only problems I had was due to a dirty ground) I assume this works the same 'cept just hooks up to a timing light. The only thing to make sure is that you get the right size clamp as there are different diameter fuel...

    random spacer on body mount

    PO was a chubby-chaser and wanted the truck to ride level? ...or maybe in an accident or some kinda damage and was trying to level things out without fixing properly <shrug> just pull it out and see how it sits?

    Seeking to do the impossible...

    check out "High Impact" for an adaptor plate or bell housing... they should have one but they tend to be pricey and might be where you are getting the 3k price tag from. also might wanna give the folks at nv4500.com a call as they do have lots of stuff like this but did not see that specific...

    Clunk sound when taking off from a stop...

    judging by his handle, I would guess it is a 93... now as far as 2WD, 4WD or cab config... no idea

    pressurizing cooling system question...

    or use a bicycle inner tube to help seal the imperfection for testing

    Serpentine belt tensioner...do they wear out?

    the bearings on the pulley go... but they tend to make noise before actually failing thus giving you warning time just my experience though...

    Why are D60's in such high demand??

    lots of off-roaders use them on anything light-duty... and kingpin 60s from our trucks are pretty much the most desirable model they are about the strongest steering axle you can get without going to 2.5 ton rockwells

    Video - what is this whine? Torque converter or something else

    it is normal to hear that clicking but your system is cycling way too quick... there is something wrong with the circuit but it obviously still starts no idea bout the trans - sure does not sound right though

    need some cummins help

    is it only when cold? cummins have intake grid heaters which take power like crazy so if it is dropping voltage when cold... it is just the grid kicking on they tend to cycle a bit

    F&#$ing pop tester...

    guess we turned this into a hydraulic safety thread... oops actually fluids do not store energy like gas or air does... so even if whatever was securing it was to fail, it should just kinda nudge up a little

    F&#$ing pop tester...

    good advice and one thing about brake cleaner... a great all around cleaner but just make sure it is not chlorinated or else it makes residue that turns into nastiness that can kill you when heated

    F&#$ing pop tester...

    in case you do try to approach the project again... be careful with those pinhole leaks - direct contact with your hand and you can get an injection of diesel or whatever you are pumping and you DO NOT want to deal with that type of injury long story short, likely amputation just be careful...

    Would you trust your engine on a HF stand?

    I put a complete engine on the red HF 2k? stand and it took it well but still had a good amount of flex when the load was applied. When using HF load bearing stuff, I like to half their rated capacity for a little extra FOS.

    How would I ship an axle

    let me second that one... will quote most of what people have already recommended... but I would guess that it would be cheaper to buy local as far as weight and specs... google dana 60 bible to get a link to P4x4 with all kinda of specs. I believe a fully loaded axle is in the territory of 1k...

    Tank Switching Valves

    Thanks for filling in the gaps the barbs - yeah, not too crazy about those and will likely update down the road also echo about the switch for the fuel gauge... mine is near the dash but there is nothing remotely stock about that on mine so your approach may be more elegant for most.

    Tank Switching Valves

    Fuel valves for marine applications. Do no remember the exact supplier but just look around and I am sure you can find similar. Get 3/8" or larger if possible - do not want to create any possible restrictions.

    Tank Switching Valves

    Here is what I did on mine... old in progress pics and still needs a lot of cleaning up but you get the idea - The one port is blocked off for potential future addition of a third tank. The valves are located right next to the driver's seat and can be accessed while driving, just gotta...
