    Max safe sustainable RPM

    Then I think you are on the right track. Swap in the axles, gain pulling power, and stability, at the sacrifice of economy which is fine by you. Maybe down the line an aux OD unit will show up and you can gain your empty speed back at lower rpm’s. In the mean time sounds like your IDI is...

    Max safe sustainable RPM

    Based on Black Dawg’s post above (#20) I would regear that Dana 60 front to 3.55’s. And keep the single rear wheel. Unless your goosenecks are super heavy and you really want 4.10’s.. Do you need or want a Dually? Love the service bed idea. My 24v was 3.54’s with 33’s. NV-5600. I HATED...

    You gonna miss the wagon? Is the unibody not salvageable?

    You’re going flatbed too right? What about finding a 2wd 3.55 geared IDI to be your 80 mph rig, and your “about to be dually” as your heavy work rig?

    Max safe sustainable RPM

    Oh I knew that, I was just pulling your leg. As you were wondering about 80 mph with 4.10 gearing and a ZF. So I figured bigger tires will get you back to the overall ratio. I’m a stock height guy with 33’s. Skinny 33’s.

    Anti Cavitation test strips and bottles where to get these days?

    Get some strips, test it, and go from there. Does your fluid have any contaminants?

    In all seriousness why you swapping axles? To dump the TTB?

    Max safe sustainable RPM

    That height should get you right back to the 3.55 gearing you left :rotflmao You’ll need a step ladder to reach the bed and get in it!! Man this just fits you!! Cant wait to see how yours turns out, and likes 80 ;Poke;Poke:rotflmao My van likes 72 with 30” tires, 4.10’s and an E4OD. It’ll...

    Blue smoker. Seems like it’s tough to narrow down.

    @Wrenchmonkey316 have you actually tracked how much oil it’s using? A quart every 500 miles or..? Have you adjusted timing yet? I didn’t see it in the posts. My timing was really retarded. With the injection lines being tight, you can only move the pump a dime or two at most.

    Anti Cavitation test strips and bottles where to get these days?

    Which coolant do you have now? The low silicate ethylene glycol (old green stuff) I like: https://www.acustrip.com/cgi-bin/proddesc.cgi?s=2050-4 I assume they would ship to the old country. They have a good tutorial on testing and reading the strip on their website. My strips are going on 2...

    Further Derailment.....let’s not forget Cali-rado and this states latest attempt to keep a contender off the 2024 Presidential Ballot. I don’t care how ya lean, but I thought this country made its decisions through public vote. :rotflmao We The People......yeah right

    E4OD High RPM Shift Between 1-2

    This seems off to me. My ‘92 van doesn’t have a tach. But using an online calculator (crawlpedia.com) at 60 mph in OD with my 4.10 rear and factory sized 30” rubber gives me 1929 rpm. Does your tach show 2500 rpm? Or how are you coming up with that number? Doing the calculation in direct...

    Photos? How many miles on the vehicles? You know the more I think of it, it was less the drivers fault and more just an envious act of rage from Tesla. I mean can you blame Tesla for being mad.....18 years younger, can’t even go half the distance an ALH can in a single push......takes 10x...

    Glad everyone is safe. Did they deem the Tesla driver at fault? I just love how frugal these TDI’s are. And reliable once brought up to *****. I miss both my ALH’s, I should have kept my wagon!! The B5.5 is still frugal, just not 50+ mpg frugal!! 6 hrs is great!! I’m actually pretty slow at...

    Unusual coolant leak on 1993 7.3 IDI factory turbo

    Does it use coolant? Could it be flashing off when it’s up to temp and running? Do you have a sweet smell when it’s up to temp and running? As the day warms, pressure builds and it externally seeps.... Or maybe it’s just the nights frost melting and dripping down :rotflmao Head scratcher...

    @94turbocrewcab-lb maybe this is close enough for you to grab the spares, scrap the rest and forget about that 6.7 ...... :dunno

    Wiring harness and thinking about selling

    I agree with @IDIBRONCO i wouldn’t do it. Why are you looking for another project? You keeping the 24v? If you are worried about parts and you blow the idi, throw a 12v in there or swap the 24v (but I think that is your winter pickup) Or maybe you just aren’t fond of the ‘94, or it’s too nice...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I use to always listen to music when driving, but the older I get I enjoy gawking out the window and day dreaming. As long as I have a comfy seat, AC, and Cruise Control I’m pretty damn good for 16 hours drive!!! Oh and a CUPHOLDER :rotflmao

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    @Nero ok spill the beans!!! What are the plans with the ALH? Make a commuter out of the two or you swapping something? Never mind, my alligator mouth over rode my hummingbird brain!! You already told us :drunk:
