When I was working for a logging outfit in high school the night mechanic was working on a 3406A Cat and when he put the governor housing back on he didn't get it hooked right.When we fired it up it went to full fuel and that was the scariest sound I've ever heard.I ran out of the shop and just...
That is definitely one fine looking truck!And Brads right,a little change here a little change there the 400 will run like hell and get twice the mileage of any 460.Hope he gets his asking price.
What I want is the 4.14 from the diesel and the 2.97 2nd frfom the gasser vs the 2.4? or whatever the diesel has.I dont need the lower 1st for this truck.Its not gonna tow anything more than my quad trailer,but is going to have 40" tires so i'd like to use first sometimes and not have the bigass...
Has anyone tried to swap gears around in a zf?I'd like the diesel first gear while using the rest of the gears from a gasser.I know it sounds goofy,but it would really tighten up the ratios,getting rid of as much of a jump from 1-2.
I'd check the front shackles and their mounting holes as well.On two of my trucks the holes were a little egg shaped and would wobble at all different speeds.
I dont really remember the numbers,but I had the guts from an 87 with a 460 put into a diesel case that I got from a tranny shop.He said it was from an 88,it only took him a couple hours.he said it was a simple swap.I just dont know what trannies were available when.:dunno Hope this helps
