    destroked

    The first one came from the manufacture of the adapter plate and was a Rock Auto or something. It was the worse the next two have been from Napa, with a third sitting on the bench ready to go in. I have a sneaking suspicion that the factory had a bad run. At least that's what i am hoping...

    Ouch, you are right old thread. 6.0 starter.....i am using a 6.0 excursion starter on my 71 F250, and i will be installing my 4th starter on warranty here soon. OUCH. They have not been starting to spin as they go in and thus do not engage....Just FYI

    I have heard of more upset customers from FordCummins then Destroke, however on my conversion i used neither, instead i used a local guy who does it as a hobby on the side. So i have no experience with either...just from what i have read over the past few years prepping to do mine.

    Pics of IDIs still working?

    Oh lets see...that is a 1950s John Deere MC with a 2 cylinder....very long strokes. If i remember correctly i was hauling it to our mechanic's place in that picture because he was going to rebuild the front with an angle blade. Since then it now has a completely hydrolic angle blade which...

    I was going to bring up the fact that IH made some M1 Garands however they had production issues. I may have to pull out my books and check on the GM one i don't remember them producing M1 too. My father has a number of IH trucks one of them is a 80 Scout with a I6 3.4 Cummins stuffed into...
