    parallel turbos

    Yeah I have all the fancy machinery at work, Miller Dynasty 200s, a massive 600 amp XMT 456 multi process, several intellitigs, CK programmable wire feeders, weldlogic lathes. Thats our small stuff. The bigger machines are all in excess of $500,000, some over a million and can create welds that...

    parallel turbos

    I learned Mig first, then Tig and then stick. I think I picked up Tig so easily because I oversee my company's GTAW department and felt I should be at least competent at the process if im going to do all the development and engineering for the GTAW crew and I was able to spend alot of time at...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    Well that puts a damper on the whole thing. Not that cast aluminum cant be repaired similarly but its alot less forgiving and requires more expensive welding equipment. Yeah I am actually reverse engineering the pedal assembly for a 2015(?) mustang boss for a guy out of sweden for that exact...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    Depends what the material is. I dont recall if that frame is steel or aluminum. Might be mixing it up with the sub frame that mounts up under the dash on the OBS trucks. If it is steel, one could drill a hole at the end of the crack, then cut thru the entire crack with a cutoff wheel on an...

    parallel turbos

    Sounds like one of the machines I use in my shop, the one I use most often actually, an Eastwood MP250i. I rarely stick weld with it since I have a dedicated stick machine but it does GMAW and GTAW well enough. Been eyeballing an Arc-Pig to give it HF starting but lift arc isnt bad enough with...

    parallel turbos

    I will pretend I can wrap my head around that. For me, mig was the easiest process to learn, then tig, then stick, then all the other processes that I do with fancy equipment.

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    Might have to swing into my local tractor supply and pick up a bottle or three. Has anyone seen any data or tests on Amsoil's diesel additives? I didnt even know they made the product but they seem to have an "all in one" type mix, injector cleaner, lube, cetane boost, anti gel. 47$ for 64oz...

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    I wish this guy would do a similar test routine on the various Opti-Lube products. Supposedly they are very good for performance and anti-gel but seeing a decent round of controlled tests would be very interesting.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    My Wife's family is from Houlton, right around the corner from Presque Isle. Snowmobiling in late january/early february up there is fantastic. We have hoofed it from Houlton all the way up to Fort Kent.

    Low Silicate Green Coolant - Which One Are You Using?

    Which fleetcharge is green? The fleetcharge that I have been using is reddish/pink.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Titanium driveshaft would probably be a 6AL-4V alloy (thats alloyed with ~6% Aluminum and ~4% Vanadium for additional strength amongst other things), one of the most commercially available (cheapest) formulations of Titanium. This grade of Titanium has mechanical properties (tensile and yield...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Was it made of aluminum? Or Gold? My local speed shop built me a new shaft for 370$ with a warranty just last year.

    The Official "Show Us Your Ride" pictures of member's trucks thread.

    The local flora and fauna are scared to grow where I park Earl. Might be the various fluid leaks...might be all the cold starting in the winter with the exhaust pouring down into the ground at the end of my driveway. I prefer to think the wildlife just knows it's place.

    Holley Red are garbage, what else quickly?

    Facet pumps dont have the flow volume to keep up with the demand of the IP. They are generally fine at lower RPM but their pressure drops as engine RPM increases. There was a study done on here some time ago, might have been by Agnem, I dont recall exactly but the pressure of the Duralift pump...

    Holley Red are garbage, what else quickly?

    My concern is if the seals in a gasoline rated pump are made of Buna N rubber, which I believe is common for gasoline applications, that same rubber degrades rapidly when in contact with biodiesel. AFAIK, all over road diesel in the US is ~10% biodiesel (maybe thats not the case everywhere, but...

    Holley Red are garbage, what else quickly?

    If Big Earl ever needs to get converted to an electric lift pump then I will likely spring for one of these Walbro pumps. Seem to have far better ratings than the Facets and Holleys...

    Then you would need a pump to lift the fuel up into the tank for the return system... probably...

    Strange finds in valve cover and glow plug hole

    Heres the Link to CDD's core buyback program. Looks like theyre offering 125$ for an IP, 12$ per injector, plus a bunch of other parts that you may not need off that other engine. https://classicdieseldesigns.com/products/core-buyback-catalog

    Strange finds in valve cover and glow plug hole

    Just a heads up, if youre tight on the budget, you can get a good bit of $$ for the IP core and injectors on that other engine if you dont need them. Enough to cover the cost of buying that whole engine for 200$.

    Strange finds in valve cover and glow plug hole

    Yeah if you want to mail the GP with the ribbon of material on it and the cast chunk to me, i'll take a REAL close look at it. See what I can see under some hundred x mag and a rad test. Might learn us all something. 153 Spoonville Road, East Granby CT 06026

    Accelerator Cable replacement

    Hey all. Just did a bunch of fuel line work on my Slug over the weekend. While working on it, I noticed the accelerator cable plastic sleeves are shattered and cause the cable to jam constantly. Figured I would deal with it while im working on it. I found these two parts on Rockauto but they...

    7.3 bottom IP bolt

    Yeah the concern here is these bolts are extremely critical and if one loosens, it could potentially scrap the IP and cause some very expensive repairs. Compound that with it being darn difficult to reach the bolt with any regular wrench (seems like "half-moon" and "obstruction" wrench are the...

    Our beloved FL1995 oil filter is no longer cheap at Walmart

    Ive looked at Donaldson filters. They seem to make some massive cans that can fit on our trucks but everything I saw was fairly expensive. What part# are you looking at?

    Random surging while driving

    No, im not sure so I figured I would do the low hanging fruit stuff first. Besides, I have no idea as to how long the lines and pump have been on the vehicle. So, option 2 I suppose :D. I did the lift pump, soft line to the lift pump, and replaced the hardline from lift pump to filter head...
