    DB2 vs DB4 pump

    nope you can set these hydraulic fans as a pusher unit and mount in front of radiator / intercooler so that conclusion you just said is null and void. I want to also point out these hydraulic fan assemblies are really skinny and often skinnier than even a electric fan setup. also there is a...

A cummins 5.9 12 valve for...

    DB2 vs DB4 pump

    and a hell of a oil cooler because the piston squirters are going to be doing alot of work to try to cool the pistons and at 400WHP i bet those pistons swell so tight in the bore essentially siezing the motor and it shatters rods from that issue our pistons for our motors swell alot because of...

    Gear oil as fuel

    you can run it as is but make sure you got diesel in the mix at a ratio of 25%-50% or it will be to thick and would make the truck very hard to start. I also want to point out if is to thick also it wouldn't flow properly and would have trouble going thru the filter starving the injection pump...

    How it Works - Fuel Selector Valve (FSV) and IDI Fuel Math AKA "What fuel pump should I run?"

    I prefer to use the rear tank and block all venting and fill port then use a large tank in the bed to gravity feed the rear tank I return the fuel to the in bed tank with a 1 way check valve and pull fuel from the under truck rear tank this also gives a positive pressure at the fuel pump /...

    How it Works - Fuel Selector Valve (FSV) and IDI Fuel Math AKA "What fuel pump should I run?"

    How it Works - Fuel Selector Valve (FSV) and IDI Fuel Math AKA "What fuel pump should I run?"

    I see issues there myself I like to have a 1 way check valve between the injection pump return and the return line injector caps then another after they merge this eliminates issues with air bleed back ( often a issue when re priming the system or after setting for a long period ) I also like to...

    Lazy lifter & partial miss

    I have found try to avoid upgrading the valve springs it adds to much strain to the lifters and cam and will cause premature failure also as for lifter issues well sadly our engines are prone to it and the CJ4 oil spec is often the reason they removed alot of the testing required for upper valve...

    Quick Alternator Question 1988 7.3

    I just realized that is a 10si delco 1 wire alternator in that link you had after i had been saying the 10si / 12si 1 wire is a good option that is very reliable and simple upgrade and cheap along with offering higher amps than we can easily get in our OEM style alternators options for our motors.
