    Could this be the solution?

    Amen, Burner Brother... I would venture that the majority of the driving public has no earthly idea what it takes to do a good job...and always under pressure...at that. So...this cognitive ignorance has a lot to do with the rift between the Trades and the office people...and it causes a lot...

    Could this be the solution?

    This is your endurance test...just think like Lance Armstrong... It is either you...or the truck...and it is not going to be you... Have you screamed at the sky yet..? You have to do that at least once to get your head straight and figure this one out... Lord knows I have...once or twice...

    6.9 idi doing funny things

    I would suspect a crossfire situation with that broken crank...No#8 firing prematurely...if the plug wires are touching...this can happen...from induction....also winding 'er to the moon and misfiring all the while can break a crank...

    6.9 idi doing funny things

    I had a Jawa moped back in the 70's...I took the baffle out of the muffler, ran a hotter sparkplug, bumped up the timing, and put Sears gas in it...(you could get two grades of hi-test from Sears auto back then...IIRC...it was 98 octane for mid-grade and 108 for Super..!) It ran better for a...

    6.9 idi doing funny things

    Years ago...I had heard the same thing about chevy small-blocks... It dawned on me later that it could have been the timing chain loosened up enough to retard the cam timing noticeably and that would make an engine run like a r-a-p-e-d ape just before the chain let go... 'We' don't know...

    Uh...if he is 6.5 hours south of you...and he starts boating or (gasp) snorkling...you know there is a possibility that he could get sucked up by a waterspout or blown to Gilligans Island by some Gulf storm...?? Have you really thought this through...?? Or...worse yet...caught in....Tampa...

    Holley Red are garbage, what else quickly?

    Your concern is appreciated...but...I assure you...Ol' One-Ton gets his share of love...every time in the evening...when no one is looking... He gets patted all over like a draft horse and told that He did a Good Job...and that bigger things are in store for him, soon.... Same with the skid...

    Holley Red are garbage, what else quickly?

    I am still on my mechanical pump until I see the need for a change...my truck sits more than it drives...it is just a tool box,crane, welder, and air compressor with a vise mounted on the back...kind of a mobile workshop for the time being... As far as cupholders go...you guys have ruined...

    IDI to Allison adapter valuable?

    I am not convinced that you would have to have an engineering degree to come up with a good idea on how to design and manufacture a decent product... It is probably just a natural talent that you would either have or not have... Remember...education is a business... One of the things that I...

    Oil overfill ok?

    This is just my two cents...only my opinion...and not to be taken as gospel.... I agree with this opinion... This is the first thing that I think about when it comes to overfilling... The fly in the ointment is...we never know how much oil is really in the engine with measuring it only with a...

    Thank you very much @Brian VT ...you are right...it must really be the 'Real World'...or...I hope it is and I am not living in some kind of dream... The 'Vibe' here is so much different than what I was ever used to... I hope that We (The Girl and I) can make the best of it here and...

    Y'all ain't gonna belive this...I was just talking about stuff (formerly termed) 'sitting around'...versus...'in inventory'...and what just happened not long after I typed that...? The Girl is washing the dishes and water is pouring out from under the sink... Of course the under-the-sink...

    I want to start a new language trend...'sitting around' is now banned... The new term is...help me out here....'Valuable inventory'...or some such... It seems that the old term 'sitting around' is applied by someone that does not see any value in our 'inventory'...and to prop up their...

    Mine was a stripped-down Cab and Chassis but the heater is a High Output...I think that the heater core and box are slightly bigger... If you can imagine the AC compressor gone as well as the lines, condensor, drier, and etc. ...you might get an idea if it would fit... But the main problem...

    That 643 is a whopper of a transmission....I imagine that it is one gear range shy of a 653... I have built a couple of 653's and I had it spread all over the shop floor on cardboard to clean the beast... You can build the torque convertor on those, too....it unbolts...and it has a torque...
