3.07 diffs & np435?
Heck to take it further cause now you got me drinkin’ and dreamin’ I’d love to convert our c10 to manual steering and brakes just for the sake of simplicity. And drop a 6.2 diesel in it to putt around in. But that prolly sounds dumb to most. And it currently just works so well. Front edge...- Cant Write

Project Stress Test
Circa 2016, wife’s phone (iPhone 6 or 8) went for a swim down the toilet on a plane. We hadn’t taken off yet..... They fished it out and 10 minutes later here comes about 4 ziplock bags holding this blue liquid and a phone that was still working. My wife was able to shut it off. Got to our...- Cant Write

Anti Gel Product (Howes)
I believe #1 is cut with Kerosene, but I’m not sure when and to what percentage. In SD I still see #1 and #2, but have not come across it in CO. I can’t remember where kerosene falls on the lubrication scale relative to straight diesel.- Cant Write

That sounds like a great combo of “run-what-ya-have” to make a great daily when you don’t need 4x or a heavy hauler. I like it. Any plans to do this in the near future? Will the idi bolt into a half ton , frame widths different?- Cant Write

I use opti-lube: buy it by the gallon XPD: $64.93/512 gal = 13 cents/gal Winter: $64.48/512 gal = 12 cents/g Summer: $59.89/2560 = 2 cents/gal Lubricity: $51.22/1280 = 4 cents/gal That does not include shipping. With the gas/diesel price discrepancy I run summer year round and just depend on...- Cant Write

@IDIBRONCO what rear axles have a 2.47? I assume half ton stuff? But yes I agree, we have a pickup with 2.56’s. 1/2 GM 10-bolt. And it loves 75 mph. 2.47 with a low stall would be even better.- Cant Write

Shop near Yuma AZ? bad water pump
@Cubey I’m late to the party, and everyone please correct me where I’m wrong..... The top of the water pump in Cubey’s photo has 2 aux ports that are plugged. On my ‘92 van, one port goes to the rear HC and then to the back of the LH head. The 2nd port goes to the front HC and to the RH head...- Cant Write

So tackled the turbo drain pipe yesterday. In the end I think it was just loose..... I dropped the turbo support rod and took the sway bar brackets off the K-member and just swung it out of the way on its end-links. Could access the bottom of the turbo with a long wobble extension and a T40. I...- Cant Write
