I think the best thing for me to do is drive to your shop in the middle of the night :Sly and swap trannies LOL . When I think back to when I had my 99.5 Powerstroke crewcab lariet as my work truck, it was almost too easy to drive on the long trips. Last year I took my truck to Mex to help...
Thanks for the hint nevrenufhp. I'm north of Tucson right now at a flying J truck stop that has a wifi hotspot. I will be putting on over 5k miles this month doing the Utah Co, ID, WY, and NM worktrip.
dozer.... All your rain slid down here to sunny (not) SoCal. A good friend of mine has a...
Thanks for the offer navistar45. I'm thinking after I get the water/meth installed my tq will be around 700/800 range. How hard is it to swap an auto for a 6spd?
It looks like your getting 1 more [I]shaft $$$ ;) LOL I would really like to have an auto in my truck. Isn't there a boneyard where you could get one cheap? It seems like we are always trying to balance what we can live with and what we can afford on these trucks. We get started down the road...

I thought I'd start a new topic for your transmission upgrade.
Have you looked into Gear Vendors? They have manual 4x4 units. I know there are people using them in 4000 series but I'm not sure if they are manuals or not.

Welcome navistar45, the more the merrier :D
I'm not sure whether to drill the manifold or the downpipe and use the clamp mount to secure the probe. Here is my 91's turbo/mani
I was looking at Westach gauges and wanted to know if anyone has any good or bad experiences with this product. The 3 inch pyro/boost probe kit sells for $140. Also I don't know how much boost the DT makes, do I need the 0-30 psi or just 0-15 psi?
Thanks, Mark
I have the Hydro-Max brake booster with the split hydraulic brake system with the EHP (electric hydraulic pump) reserve system. I'm going to flush more of the old brake fluid out with the Dot 3 and then add some higher boiling point fluid in.
thanks for the replies, Mark
I had the rear brakes done (discs/ calipers) both sides in Grand Jct Colorado. I waited to see where the fluid was leaking from after I steam cleaned it. I waited and it got progressively worse, not smart of me.
The brakes are working great and from other post I've read it's hard to get the...
Looks like I need a new master cylinder. I steam cleaned everything off and there is a nice drip coming between the M/C and the booster. A new M/C goes between $100-$200 I think. Service dept says it's more than likely the M/C. :cry:
Could be worse :puke:
Update! It was worse $300 :mad: I'm...
I think he is talking about the stage 1 kit that doesn't have the hobb switch. I found a site that has it for $399.

Duke.... How much hp do you think the new turbo will add?
I've crewzed a few diesel forums for a couple of years and have yet to read the nickname 13 letter manuere spreader. :D Anyone have any others they've heard?
So far I've only driven it 2 miles without the trailer behind it and since it always feels so much faster without the trailer I will need more testing to feel the difference un-hooked. With the trailer on I noticed what feels like more low end power
Snow Performance Products got back to me...
The comments at campgrounds are usually "sure you have enough truck for that trailer?"
Nevrenufhp and I were looking at my turbo and exhaust mani for a place to drill for the pyro probe and my options seemed to be limited. The non oem gauges have a more detailed face and probably better...
Cool Duke!
Does your truck feel like its over-reving or winding out?
I finally got to drive my truck post advance in the timing without the trailer and she feels real nice! I may have to run the screw in 1 thread to limit the smoke a tad.
