    Idi Reman engine supplier options

    I’m slightly less excited about my promar reman. In fairness I asked for a custom build that the gladly said they would do. I had them put a cam, head studs and valve springs in. Well, they didn’t do due diligence and check clearances so on it’s first trip, I made it 90 miles and it broke a...

    You can post but I suspect I’ll be asleep. LOL

    2019 Rally Convoy

    @Dirtleg we will be looking for lunch at the Roanoke stop. Is there anything besides a Subway at that stop?

    2019 Rally Convoy

    I’m okay with that timeline. I think that will work just fine. The real question @no mufflers is does the dodge have a muffler? LOL LOL LOL I crack myself up sometimes.

    2019 Rally Convoy

    Well if you get to Alex at 8, that puts you at our meeting spot around 9. Roanoke - ish by around noon. Figure an hour for lunch, I think we are still about 4 hours out so that would put us in the campground around 5 depending on other stops.

    Thoughts on single piece driveline on extended cab...

    Yup. Thank you. I appreciate someone who really knows backing me up. Just irritates me that I paid for them to screw it up. It’s together for now and unless it gives me problems, that’s how it will be.

    2019 Rally Convoy

    Here is the route we are looking at with notional stops. Notional in the sense that we likely will not make all of them but we know where they are if we need them. https://goo.gl/maps/uCy2ZhYx1w7YQDVy9

    Room for crow's foot & breaker bar for fan clutch?

    It's one of those tools that you think... gee... I hate to spend the money on something I'm only going to use once... but then... you end up using it twice then three times and its totally paid for itself. You can always smack it with a hammer if you don't have air handy. I carry mine on...

    2019 Rally Convoy

    @Dirtleg looking at the route where @tjsea and I were planning to meet will put our fuel window somewhere around Roanoke. I was looking at Troutville just above Roanoke. It’s been several years since I’ve been to that part of the country. Any suggestions for convenient fuel and food? It will...

    2019 Rally Pot Luck

    I was looking at two dishes that require baking, then I remembered the disaster that the RV oven was. Rethinking my strategy.

    Oilburners 2019 Gatlinburg Rally

    That’s at least a camper and a half. The truck didn’t feel like it was earning its keep so you had to get a bigger camper?? LOL

    2019 Rally Convoy

    And that’s why I told you to poke me. I’ll put it on my list now. We will probably catch you on the return trip would be my guess unless you are going to the extreme SE tip of KY. We are coming back Sunday as well. I think Alex is coming back Saturday.

    boost related ticking?

    That said, it doesn’t really explain pushing coolant.

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    Well, given the choice between the Cummins ranger and a PSD Ex for travel, it’s hard to argue with the creature comforts in the Ex. It’s still a ranger, diesel or not. He drove it to KY the year before. Cans full of veggie and all. You could smell him coming. LOL

    @reset2 What’s your travel plans look like?

    2019 Rally Convoy

    I guess we should work backwards and figure out what time we want to get there to figure out when to leave. Any proposals?

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    Hell a guy with a Cummins powered ranger hosted last year. We don’t discriminate.

    boost related ticking?

    To me worn guides would make more noise under boost for what that’s worth.

    boost related ticking?

    That kinda looks like tell tale signs of valve guide wear to my highly uneducated eyeballs.

    Getting hotter and hotter

    Where is your sending unit? 210 water temp at the front of the heads or at the stock port up front just means that your coolant is picking up heat as it passes through the system. If it drops quickly when you let off it’s not heat soaking the radiator. Like they said, thermostat is just getting...

    "Tank" my 91 Crew Cab Dually

    I ran into exactly the same thing. Found a piece of vacuum hose the right size that I believe slipped over the tube and onto the actuator.

    Front Cab Mounts

    LMC does not have a brick nose diesel support for the tall radiator last I looked. Without AC means it was the short wide rad. I have seen a kit someone was selling to repair them. Honestly, your best bet is probably to import a clean one from out west. Even at $400-500 you would probably be...

    2019 Rally Convoy

    Yeah finding something at a campground on 7/5 may be challenging by now. It’s about an 8 hr trip. If you spread it out with stops it’s not horrible to do in a day but I understand the other side too. Wife has decided she wants her car while we are there so she’s going to follow-ish. If someone...

    Project Big Red

    Road test went well. No vibration on the freeway. Filled up with fuel. 15.8 mpg. There’s a good bit of idling on that so I’ll take it. Need to top the tcase off from pulling the drive shaft but other than that I think she’s about ready to fly. Needs a good bath. Hopefully over the weekend.

    I want to say it’s 4” pipe.
