    Looking for Dodge NV4500

    So I am looking for an Nv4500 to throw into my 1990 d350. A donor truck would be preferable but anything for an auto to manual swap for a 1990 d350 with a 5.9 will work.

    1985 6.9 IH bad sound from exhaust and intake.

    I have had this exact same problem. My problem was the water separator wasn't sealing after I ran some soapy water through my fuel take. (long story, thought a bottle was diesel treatment....it wasn't). I did away with my separator and no more air intrusion. take it for a drive and see if it...

    Cylinder wall looks like a sand box

    So check this out. I took the head off my truck to do a head gasket and this is what I found. I think I will end up boring it but I am a little worried that someone has already done it on this engine. Just wanted people to see what building sand castles in your engine will do. I wonder what a...

    Alternator Causing rough idle on L31 in 1974 Chevy

    So as the title reads I am having an alternator issue with my brothers truck. We put an L31 into a 1974 Chevy truck. We had the computer reprogrammed and everything seemed to be working great until we started wiring up the alternator. When the alternator is charging then the motor starts running...

    IDI HELP NEEDED!!!

    I know this is a shot in the dark, but check your grounds. I had a bad ground on my 85 and it caused all kinds of crazy problems, low power, gauges suddenly losing power, random surging. My truck was a manual so I am not familiar with your setup, but grounds are a fast check.

    Is a gasser trans case the same as a diesel case

    So I have been doing a lot of reading and the gas A518 and the diesel version are different down to the bolt pattern. One thing I noticed in a lot of pictures is that the diesel version doesn't have the removable section in the bell housing and there is a slot in the bell housing near the top...

    Sweet. So how much would you sell me that A518 you have there Jacobe? Towcat, I sold the IDI because I thought that a wrx would be a fun car to have and I have regretted every second since that truck drove out of my driveway. I even tried to buy it back from the kid that I sold it to.

    Is a gasser trans case the same as a diesel case

    so here is the shape of my case. It looks like a 727/A518 to me but am I crazy? It also looks like it has overdrive because it has the three prong plug going into the case and the two prong.

    Is a gasser trans case the same as a diesel case

    Yeah I picked it up in that dodge sprinter. I will call around tomorrow and see if anybody has an A904 case lying around. Here is a picture of that case. I shoved a screw driver through so you can see where it cracked. Does anyone know why this happened?

    Is a gasser trans case the same as a diesel case

    I am located north of Sacramento in Folsom. I don't know about the A518. From what I can tell it seems quite a bit longer. I am hoping to do a quick rebuild and install, not really looking to have to cut the drive shaft and fab. I am definitely interested in that A904 Towcat. I am pretty sure...

    So I am looking for a case for an A518 transmission for a 1990 dodge d350 with a 5.9 diesel.

    Is a gasser trans case the same as a diesel case

    So I recently purchased a 1990 d350 with a bad transmission. I figured the packs were probably bad, but when I tore the tranny apart I found that the case was broken on the inside ring. My guess is someone dropped it into gear or they were towing something really freaking heavy. So is a gasser...

    Engine won't shut off while headlights are on

    Thanks for the wiring diagrams and thanks for everyones input. It was the ground. Apparently I didn't put it on when I put the engine in but everything seems to be working perfect now. It was hard for me to believe at first because I've left ground straps off of other cars and never had a...
