DT466 realities...
I managed to get my Rt-6610 rebuilt and converted to OD. It is tough to use the camera when working on such a beastly trans, but here are a quick couple pics: You can see the gear timing marks. I did not have any instructions, but it was not too hard to figure out that the 1:1 (4th)...- ocnorb

It's Done! The Final 6.9 Project Report! (I hope)
First off, a big thanks for the excellent documentation! Loved following your build and I'm gonna miss it in some weird way... ;Sweet If your max EGT was 850, do you think you have some room to turn up the pump? :sly- ocnorb

Feedback on Rodney Red Radiators Please
I've also seen people claim that the smaller openings helped efficiency and Ford did it because they wanted the bigger 7.3L motor to have the same fuel economy as the 6.9L. Once read a VW engineering article on their IDI where they claimed that the hotter the pre-cups could be kept without...- ocnorb

Towing RPMs
I have their 3 in 1 gauge in my CRD - The space available for gauges in these things is nil, so its about the only one that works. - My only complaint is that it loses its mind and stops working when you turn the key on and off a few times. (Like when you are hooking up a trailer, or stopping at...- ocnorb

Live C6 removal, need answer!
It actually works pretty good. My truck is 3.54 and the ZF-5 pulls my 5th wheel quite well. Any hill will mean a drop to 4th of course...- ocnorb

Started my DT360 swap yesterday
Looks real good! Your clutch linkage looks alot like the stock hydraulic that came on my 466-5 speed. It has a very short throw on it- looks very close to what you made there. Exciting to see the motor in the engine bay! Do you have any shots of the front from the side that show your...- ocnorb

1st Bronco Diesel conversion...starts here!....FINALLY..
Awesome progress you are making! Not sure on the Bronco's= my F-350 sway bar is about 3" in front of the radiator- in fact, I was able to squeeze a water/air intercooler in that space. Maybe the sway bar off of a truck is different than the Broncs? Loving your description of your day! Sounds...- ocnorb

Scrap the 7.3 for a 6.9? How much do I need to worry about cavitation?
Is there any anti freeze left in the block that you could do an SCA test on? Not sure, but it might give you some piece of mind. Tested a junkyard 7.3 out of a '92- it looked real good. Seems like by '92 it should have been a fairly well known issue..??- ocnorb

Pressure Washing Engine Compartment
Soak it with Simple Green for a bit, then rinse. Like franklin said- don't put high pressure right on connectors. I use oven cleaner on really onery grease, but you need gloves, goggles and it can eat through your paint... must be used with care.- ocnorb

To me, thats the beauty of it all- the whole drivetrain is matched up- and no adapters to mess with. If it turns out I don't like the non syncro 10 speed I can swap to a Fuller 6 or 7 like Heath is using. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to find a D80 or better at some point though...:sly Not...- ocnorb

I have a D60 that I could swap in, but I actually prefer a 2WD dually for 95% of what I use the truck for so the goal is to keep the TTB with the DT weight. Good insight, thanks!- ocnorb
