How to verify if its a long or short pinion 10.25
All modern production gears are 10.5 and long spline because it’s interchangeable. I have the yoke off a short spline pinion on my long spline 3.73 gears. Axle was a 10.25 out of a 94, new gears are 10.5 on a Detroit truetrac. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

Well I appreciate all the tips, I guess I just got lucky on one that doesn’t want to line up. I’ll drill out those holes, maybe call in some reinforcements and keep trying. If any of you gurus are passing through Indiana, I’ll buy beer and pizza lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

There is no obvious hex, they appear threaded all the way down. Even have different sized nuts, someone has definitely been in there replacing things. I can run the nuts down on the wye until it won’t budge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

Well, got off work a few hours ago and tried again. Chucked up a 3/8 drill bit and it fell in the holes in the oil drain, someone beat me to that. Loosened the oil drain/pedestal from the intake. Heated the up pipe with a propane torch. Loosened the wye got it barely seated then tightened it a...- austin92

Nice tip on the bolt holes, didn’t think about that. I haven’t messaged him, I doubt it’s something he did wrong. Figured he’d chime in here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

You read correctly These are the 2 things I can not get lined up at the same time. I have the pedestal mounted solid and the wye pretty tight to the manifold but not fully. Studs are screwed into the bottom of the bearing housing of the turbo since I can’t get them in through the bottom of the...- austin92

Turbo install
So I’m finally getting around to installing the factory turbo kit I got off Russ almost 2 years ago and I’m having some issues. I can’t get the up pipe from the turbo to slide down into the wye. I tried it first with the studs screwed in the center housing for the oil drain mount and the wye...- austin92

School me on Limited Slip Differentials
I have a truetrac in my 83 f350 and have no complaints. If I pull one tire off in the grass and the other on dry pavement, quickly release the clutch with a little throttle, the tire on pavement chirps. Normal daily driving and towing, it’s completely unnoticed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

Can the Injection Pump (IP) suddenly fail completely?
I remember reading on here something about the shaft that drives the head/rotor has a place that’s designed to shear if it locks up. Sometimes I feel like an idiot trying remember stuff wes says lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

What do y’all pull with your truck?
I’ve got a 25’ 14k gooseneck I load with what ever, mostly vehicles or tractors. Built sides for it so I can help people move, make a big run to the scrap yard, or haul rock if needed. Don’t have access to a dump trailer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

adding gauges.....
Yeah, that’s where I was going with that. I didn’t want people to think vacuum could diagnose head gasket problems. The belt driven vacuum pump tied into a boost gauge would give false readings on both ends Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

Just buy the boost gauge that covers the range you’ll be running in. Most idi’s will be fine with a 0-15. Everything you read about vacuum was probably for a naturally aspirated gasoline engine which can tell you a lot but in these motors, you’d essentially only be able to see vacuum pump...- austin92

Tire shop: rant/question...
Different tires will require different pressure to wear properly. I adjust my rear tire pressure based on load. My fronts seam to like about 45psi, rear I run 35 empty, 50 when I went and picked up a 7.3 engine, 70-80 when pulling my gooseneck depending on load. Don’t forget as tires heat up...- austin92
