    Looking at buying a 92 7.3 IDI how well will it tow?

    outside of DOT reasons, why are you worried about kali interested on looking at your truck with a muffler? i've been straight piped on the Nostromo since 2004, and noone even looks twice at me.

    Black diesel and injectors

    welcome. here's my suggestion. do your homework on cost vs. reward on running hopped up parts on WMO. WMO still contains fine abrasives that will shorten the life of your parts. you need to ask yourself is the tradeoff worth it for you? noone can answer that other than you.

    Don't Be Me, Antigel is Good

    always good practice to have spare filters and any antigel on hand. if I'm running local it's not much of an issue compared to interstate at this time of the year.

    Captains chairs in bricknose

    OBS (93) had two different mounting systems. the bench frame is the simplest to use on a non-bucket seat floor. usually when you find it for sale, the seller wants some serious coin for it too.

    1991 suburban suspension question

    they are. and I don't think you'll gain any softness either. imho the springs are the same. the axles are a little different 6 lug vs. 8 lug.

    Just go for a 4" lift kit.

    that "looks" like a 4in lift kit without the pitman arm. I'll have to snap some pics of a job I did when there's daylight.

    ZF5 and T19 Switcheroo

    there's only a 1 inch difference between the two trans. the ZF is a little longer. Flywheel, clutch, trans, floorpan, crossmember and brackets are all items you want to swap over for a clean appearing job.

    New member, Unimog truck

    welcome to the site :D about 10 years ago I repowered a Mog with an Isuzu turbodiesel so it would be a little easier for the owner to find parts.

    Looking for a late-production 6.9 engine

    one thing for you "holy grail" chasers to consider.....better make sure which style oil squirters are in the block. the "press in" ones are seriously hard to find new replacements these days. The squirters must be removed for any boring/honing operation. when you tear them out, you must press...

    Help on rear blocks?

    i've stood on the throttle while attempting a straight line launch in the Nostromo once in my life and after hell settled back down again, I swore to God I will never do that again.
