    Fan clutch upgrade...

    Interesting, my son put a 7.3 fan clutch on his 6.0 with an adapter from bullet proof diesel, his 6.0 wiring/clutch failed and clutch was twice the cost of a new 7.3 clutch, his temps and mileage same, been 2 years and around 50k, he says he's ready for a new one again.

    Fuel tank vent & shower head

    All NPT pipe threads seal by crushing, interference fit. NPTF just does it with less threads, used in shorter spaces used when you dont have enough room for a complete NPT tap. In the old days before pipe sealants they used red lead on pipe fittings, it is a lubricant, the lubricant is used to...

    NP 271 TC interchange

    looks the same size .75 dia. .375 across flats, but manual has 3/8 stud sticking out you bolt arm to, so you would have to tack the arm to keep it from falling off, That bracket you show in first/top pic,that has the slots, the pin that follows those slots is what broke on our lever causing our...

    Our manual TC shift rod coming out of the case has 3/8 flats on the rod, shift arm attached with a nut, i would guess with motor unit off its the same, I know there are some internal differences and the case has tapped holes to mount motor,other then that would think TCs would interchange...

    Manual shift transfer case

    Should be a NP 271, we just changed ours out in a 99 SD, but it was manual shift, see my post 4R100 trans problem, our linkage/shift lever came off, small pin on pivot broke off, allowed lever to slide off,caused shift fork to wear out, was low on fluid also, all else looked ok, bearing, chain...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Watch those TCs our SD, NP 271 linkage jammed up, lever slid off pivot, caused range fork to self destruct. Gear would go where ever it wanted, sometimes N sometimes H, acted like trans problem,slipping and sliding literally.

    NP 271 TC interchange

    Will a NP 273 motorized TC work in a manual truck?, more of these around and cheaper, assume we would just take motor off and hook up manual linkage, range fork on our 271 wore out, linkage came apart,( see my 4r100 trans problem post) Know we have to have same spline count 31 in this case...

    Rear diff cover

    I like what Garbage mech said, drill the diff bottom, there is quite a bit of oil that sets in those casting pocket, when I change oil I have to soak it up with a rag, all the crap goes there also.

    Oil filter

    go a little tighter, they are longer and heavier then most filters, truck vibrations may effect it more.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    with a good water temp gauge you should be fine, with an water oil cooler the water and oil should be the same, water gets hot so does oil and vise versa. I would like to see a low coolant warning, heard stories of guys losing coolant and not know till its too late. Had some German cars, they...
