    Gearvendors OD no reverse

    Odd that the direct side of the cone clutch slips in reverse but not forward, but stranger things have happened. Wonder if there is not some bearing issues that would let the shaft cock to the side in reverse.

    Gearvendors OD no reverse

    There is a sprague in the gear vendors, but only used for O.D. The powerflow in a gear vendors does not change if it is in direct foward or reverse, it runs through the same side of the cone clutch that is engaged by springs. If you are slipping in reverse you should experience slipping in...

    question 4x4 on the fly engagement

    Depends on the transfer case. Ford manual transmissions have no provision to synchronize the front driveshaft with the rest of the drivetrain when shifting on the fly. The electric shift models have a clutch that will spin the front driveshaft to speed with the rear allowing the shift collar...

    ISO/WTB Calcium Chloride fluid transfer pump

    A small all plastic air operated diaphragm pump would work. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200375488_200375488 I have used a 4 wheeler sprayer with a 12 volt shurflo pump to fill tires.

    Anyone here ~ACTUALLY sleeve a 7.3L to a 6.9L bore?

    Had to take a flywheel to be turned so I brought this up to the machinest. When he rebuilds a 7.3 he talks the customer into sleeving all 8 cylinders no cavitation worries. Bores them out to 4.250". Install non step sleeves with a .004" interference fit flush with step at bottom of block...

    Anyone here ~ACTUALLY sleeve a 7.3L to a 6.9L bore?

    And this means the sleeve was not installed with the proper interference fit and the block would be junk. Its nice if it is flush at both ends but a properly fit sleeve is not going anywhere. Breaking the interference fit is going to take more force then the step in the sleeve or block could...

    Anyone here ~ACTUALLY sleeve a 7.3L to a 6.9L bore?

    So incorrect installation. No different then machining the block incorrectly for a stepped sleeves.

    Anyone here ~ACTUALLY sleeve a 7.3L to a 6.9L bore?

    How can a non flange sleeve move if it held at the bottom by the block and the head at top?

    Anyone here ~ACTUALLY sleeve a 7.3L to a 6.9L bore?

    I would investigate non flanged sleeves. A quick glance in the melling sleeve catalog shows promise. If the press fit fails to hold the sleeve in place a flange is not going to stop it from reeking havoc once moving in the block. Also when a non flanged sleeve is installed you do not bore the...

    OK. How Crazy of an Idea is This...

    Could install a remote starter. A good unit will have provisions for glow plugs and can be set to start every couple of hours and run for a set time.

    OK. How Crazy of an Idea is This...

    But the batteris are 12 volt so there would be a 80 amp load on the batteries before stepping up the voltage.

    Injector line thread question

    The mcmaster fittings can be made to work. Using them without modification it will only grab the first thread on the injector. The nut fits, but the compression ferule needs to be turned 180 and a little bit of machine work performed on the sealing surface. I also drilled out the nut to so...

    banks wastegated compressor outlet temps

    Wanted to see if the often stated 300 plus degrees at 15 psi was true for the banks wastegated turbo. So I purchased a thermocoupler/meter and placed one thermocoupler in the intake hat. This is what I found so far. temperature outside was 40 boost psi temp F calculated density...

    Timing meter question

    Well got my tiny tach meter. Came with all three sizes of clamp and a strobe gun. It even works not bad for $80. The probe on mine measured .310" and it fits fine. What switch setting do you use as far as the leading and trailing switch?

    Cheapest METAL body lift?

    Hose clamps around the stock rubber cab bushings can give 1/2 to 3/4" of lift. Body lifts have there places. Keeps center of gravity lower then a lift kit, keeps steering angles at stock, retains a stock ride, moves body away from heat and noise and allows for taller tires. lift kits raise...

    The Banks Vs Banks Thread||T04b vs Te06h|| ...not another turbo thread

    I would say the swap is similiar in seat of pants feel as swapping from the stock pump to the moose pump. The wastegate jumps to 10 psi instantly at 1500rpm. The nonwastegated needed to be wound out to see the same. The increase in egt is tough to say as a couple of degrees timing change...

    The Banks Vs Banks Thread||T04b vs Te06h|| ...not another turbo thread

    Could sky rocket egt with the a non gated banks, with a stock pump turned up. Still can sky rocket egt with the gated banks, but also pushing more fuel with a moose pump. When I swapped to a wastegated it was a night and day difference in seat of the pants feel. The non waste gated was just...

    Timing meter question

    I have a sun, Rotunda knockoff. It had a cir-clip on the prob yours could be different. Made it difficult to install, but would hold the probe at any set distance from the damper. Check the cir-clip, may be deformed. Might just take a little extra push to get the clip into the hole. I...

    For all of the alignment experts out there...

    I use this toe in gauge and digital caliper. Zero seems to work the best for toe in. This is my camber gauge, a flat piece of metal with two all thread bolts and a digital angle finder. It can be used to find caster by taking the difference of the wheel turned left and right then divided...
