    Started my DT360 swap yesterday

    Oh. DO tell. Sounds like a motivation deadline... I get 90% of my work done that way!

    Sounds like a great way to go. Surprising that is would include the entire drivetrain for $3k!! Is it an auto?

    Cheaper, gas or diesel???

    You should start a thread and show us your set-up. Many here are curious and open minded, but so far, your claims seem to defy physics. That being said; I personally know of two professional engineering companies that are looking at large scale HHO additions to coal-fired boilers to lower...

    I FAILED emissions...horribly

    I have mine set a 5.5 degrees. It would be tough to get a puff over 30% out of my truck; the pump is maxed out. (Not a Moose though)

    Ford guys; ARP Head bolt kit for 351 Windsor...

    One ARP head bolt kit 154-3603. Never opened; box still has factory seal on it. Labeled "SB Ford 351 Windsor head bolt kit" $50 includes shipping to the lower 48. Just thought I would offer this up here first as I know some of you guys have more than diesels you work on. Don't you wish...

    Overdrive inverter...how to lock out e40d OD?

    Are you still having to be tested?? <wierd> They have told me that no opacity test was required any more... my truck hasn't been tested since 2010. My wife's '03 and my '06 are both diesels and all they have done on those is plug in to the OBD2 port and call it good. I am in the same county...

    Hard to beat that much power in such a small package! Yikes!! You're gonna need 36's! My plan these days is to buy a LWB body from Aqualu http://www.aqualu.com/suzuki-samurai-bodies.html and do a custom frame and drive-train. Probably never happen, but its one of those old pipe dreams that...

    I have always wanted a long wheelbase SJ-410 type rig with a TDI motor. Its been a dream since the late 90's. Owned several Samurais over the years. One had a 231 Buick V-6 and it was OK. One had a Nissan Z24- this was my favorite! Nephew has one with a 22R drivetrain that runs out pretty...

    Started my DT360 swap yesterday

    Cool. Be interested to see how the 3053A works out. When researching my swap I kept hearing conflicting reports that ranged from "It bolts right up" to "It will work, but you have to make a special spacer for the bell and have the shaft turned down." Would be nice to know what the truth is...

    Six (6) 7.3s

    I think you would have better luck advertising them individually... most folks don't need six trucks and most of the guys on here already have an average of 3. LOL

    What is the Dual Mass Flywheel Thickness

    The SMF LUK is 2.10" thick. And for posterity (in case I lose it :) ) the crankshaft end to transmission mating surface is .405" . The trans mating surface to flywheel surface is 1.605" It is interesting that the DMF on the '92 is that much thicker and it all still works. The spacer on...

    Question for the 12V gurus...

    What are the downsides to buying a motor that has been stripped of the p-pump and made into a VE? The block is a '95. I vaguely remember hearing that the piston bowls were different and the injector spray pattern was specific to the piston design. How big of a deal is this? I was looking...

    IDI in Half Ton: MPG & Suspension

    ^^^^^ +1... I get 17-18 with a crew cab dually. Can't imagine a lighter vehicle doing worse.

    What is the Dual Mass Flywheel Thickness

    Dragging this up from the depths... Because it is the #1 hit when you do a search for IDI flywheel thickness... I just measured a DMF out of a 1992. From flywheel surface to crank mating surface is 2.10" without the spacer. The spacer measures 0.485 and we get a total of 2.585. I was...

    Fair price for a P-pump Cummins bolted to NV4500??

    Every little bit helps! :) If I buy it consider it yours... but you may have to explain to me what the hell it is...lol.

    Fair price for a P-pump Cummins bolted to NV4500??

    The truck is pretty clapped out, but its still drive-able. He replaced the valve cover gaskets, but it still leaks bad. I tried to see where it was coming from, but couldn't really tell as it was pretty much covered in goo. Maybe the oil cooler or the lifter box cover?? Is there common leak...

    Fair price for a P-pump Cummins bolted to NV4500??

    Ok. Funny- he called me while I was typing the above. Wants $250 more than I offered. Told him I would call him tomorrow and let him know.

    Fair price for a P-pump Cummins bolted to NV4500??

    Went and looked at it... drove it actually. Starts good, shifts good, pulls good, etc... leaks oil like nobodies business. Turbo has a little more than normal play in it. Made him an offer about double what F100dude said and he seemed insulted. ???? I guess we will see if he calls me back.

    Fair price for a P-pump Cummins bolted to NV4500??

    Yes you are... $2000 will barely get you a core around here.

    Fair price for a P-pump Cummins bolted to NV4500??

    Ok, guys I need your input here. I know a guy with a 1995 P-pumped 12 valve hooked to a NV4500. It has 217K miles on it. The combo runs good, has a fuel plate, but is otherwise all stock. He has asked me to make him an offer. It also includes the intercooler and a few other parts that I...

    Ok. Looks like a drastic improvement! Would really be bright on relays.
