    Atf to clean?

    Diesel was what, 200ppm sulfur when our trucks were built? Now we have 15ppm maximum. The process of removing sulfur makes the fuel more “dry” as I understand. Kinda like kerosene. I did a lot of reading on the subject of additive lubricity. There was an extensive test done that showed optilube...

    just any? manual gearbox

    What’s the 435 out of? My 79 has one and it’s mechanical, not hydraulic. That could cause a big headache in the swap. By the time you spent money doing all the custom work, you could probably buy a zf5 donor truck and have OD Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not your Average Dana 60 Swap

    Well my rear brakes grab harder than they should when it’s cold or wet out. I know they’re adjusted right, I’ve been suspecting the proportioning valve but no one stocks it. If that one works well, what is it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Berryman B 12 or sea foam?

    I like a mixture of Howe’s and stanadyne lubricity formula in the winter and just the stanadyne when it’s warm. I bought a gallon and a half off eBay for 75$ and 2oz treats 15 gallons. Both claim to clean. Usually every other oil change I’ll put a bottle of sea foam in the oil just for the few...

    Exhaust restricive

    Mine comes from the stock y pipe to 3” for about a foot then 4” back to just before the right rear. I left the stock y because I knew I’d turbo eventually. It’s obnoxious... I’ve seen people jump if I downshift to pass them lol. towing, I can’t have a conversation with my passenger. I’ve looked...

    My facet mechanical to electric fuel pump conversion review.

    Mines set up as a puller on the passenger fender and I’ve had no fuel delivery issues. These units are originally designed for semi trailer reefer units where the pump is near the top of the trailer with the engine and it pulls fuel from the tank that hangs under the trailer. I work for Great...

    Boost limits IDI

    Is yours a dually or 4x4? Mines a srw 2wd and 245/75r16 doesn’t look bad. Little shorter and wider than the 235/85r16 the door jam calls for. Your fuel screw probably isn’t stuck. They’re stiff to turn or yours has already been maxed out. For more boost, you’ll need more fuel and much more than...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Mine don’t unless I’m working on them. Sometimes I’ll pull my 83 (daily driver) in the garage if I know there’s an ice storm coming Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is this only a vacuum reservoir?

    I had a vacuum leak that I couldn’t track down. My vent controls and cruise haven’t worked since I got the truck so I ran the vacuum pump straight to the brake booster. Only 1 T down to the low vacuum sensor so my brake light wouldn’t come on. Been like that for probably a year now with no...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I have a 2 car garage right next to the house that’s like 25x25. My extended cab noses up to my tool box and the bay door barely clears. The 8n is on jack stands on one side and I try to keep the other side open for quick projects. My barn is like 20x30 maybe 40 yards from the house. It’s got a...

    Safe starting fluid?

    The only time my truck has seen either is when the glow plugs were completely dead away from home. One time I ran my salamander in front of the truck for an hour to avoid either lol. Makes me cringe hearing either in my motor, it’s like I can hear the rods bending lol Sent from my iPhone using...
