    Ah. Keep looking out and asking around! My dad got his tandem axle car trailer for $1k.

    Trailers

    Where are you located? I saw I believe a 24' triple axle trailer for like $3000 in Reno, NV or close to it. http://reno.en.craigslist.org/rvs/4536995469.html

    CLP gun cleaner in diesel fuel?

    Yeah we only use 1 of our 4 m14's because apparently 7.62 is a "cruel and unusual" caliber in small arms. M240B its ok... no idea how that works.

    CLP gun cleaner in diesel fuel?

    Well I'm not too sure how rusty my fuel tanks are, still working on my e4od problems so it has older fuel in it. The liquid comes in a plastic bottle with the cheapest spray nozzle on it. Only one way to find out! My pump is on it's way out anyway. USN, Gunners Mate down here in San Diego

    CLP gun cleaner in diesel fuel?

    Well our m9's and m4's have the plastic grips... and they are from 1995 we get clp on them all the time. What kind of rubber are the lines and o-rings made of? Going to the parts store for brakes anyway for my f-150

    CLP gun cleaner in diesel fuel?

    I was assembling some .50 cal mounts at work today and we were using some Break-Free CLP to what else, clean, lube, and protect our parts needed. It's very good at destroying rust and everything rusty became shiny and bare steel again. Me, thinking how awesome this stuff does at cleaning and...

    Could be some Mickey Thompson wheels too.

    Front shocks

    I vote Bilsteins! Either 5100's or the yellow bodies with a blue boot... forgot what series they are.

    Milly the million miler build

    The d50 ttb is equal length, wjile the 2wd setup is un-equal. Your best bet is to do a d44hd swap with 8 lug outers. Just my .02. If you went to leafs anyway, slap a d60 in it. All the work is done.

    Finally having some IDI fun!

    Might have to do some Frankenstein-ing. Swap the guts of a Dodge np435 into a Ford case and use a Dodge np205, if the front bellhousing patterns don't match. Np203/205 doubler using a ford np203 and a Chevy 205 Behemoth Drivetrain Strongbox kit with a Chevy output Atlas/STaK? Could...

    D60 gurus: need some advice

    Definitely reasonable. Pull the diff civer and clean the grease off the ring gear and look at the contact patches. That should tell you if things are getting funky. If everything is gravy, you won't have to mess with shims when you reassemble the diff! I hate dana's design :P

    D60 gurus: need some advice

    Billavista has a d60 bible. The install/breakdown is the same on the big 3. Same axle except ours are high pinion. Pinion bearing is a huge thing! Unless you never use 4wd and like the looks of a powered front axle. Its the same catastrophe as the early sterling axle's pinion bearing. It's gonna...

    Time to go 4x4, build plans and parts checklist

    Skip the GV for now. The zf5/205 combo would be great with 4.10 and 35" tires spins around 2000 rpm at 65 mph. You could add it on later. My rig with 37" tires and 4.10 is almost too low for highway at 1800-2000. Pushing a jacked up brick suuuucks, could only imagine towing something bigger than...

    Which power steering pump

    All vans, really. Those pumps are a much better design, or there is a bracket you van use to adapt a saginaw. Worth it!

    6.9 parts ror 7.3

    Everything from the 6.9 will fit the 7.3. everything but the pistons and the cylinder heads/head bolts. Though i am fairly sure the valves, springs and definitely the rockers/pushrods exchange. same connecting rods, oil pump, crank shaft, cam shaft, manifolds, they are giant lego's!

    no start problem

    Take a hair dryer/heat gun to the intake if you are that scared of using ether. Plug the block heater in, take the hood off and put the engine in direct sunlight lol. You need HOT air to combust diesel fuel. Cold air in a cold engine is not going to super-heat itself with compression. You...

    2wd to 4x4 on a f350 dually extended cab

    It's going to be a little weird getting driveshafts right if you dont find an ex-cab, but find a truck with a d60 and your trans of choice. Need the trans, tcase, all linkages for tcase, and the drive shafts. Pretty much everything but the engine and rear axle. Grab an RSK while you're at...

    dana 60 swap

    If its a ball joint d60, the d50 knuckles will swap over. Little easier and you could get bolt-on calipers if you have them. I forgot when the parts interchange was

    93 Dually 4x4 questions

    Super single! Have you checked out American Force wheels? An 8- lug adapter (2" bolt on spacer) would be a good start to the duals not touching. If you're going for looks, do that. If you're looking for functionality... lifting a dually will surely wreck the capability of the rig...

    is a ranger od doable?

    Don't see why not! I think a ranger/np435 would be a great combo.

    so I got this e4od...

    My brother has been tinkering with my badass 4-door bronco of awesome. Aside from needing EVERYTHING rebuilt, I like it! Very unique. So I rebuilt the e4od, followed all the steps and everything went smooth. Until I left back to San Diego. Everything as far as sensors were FUBAR'd and...

    Getting transmission rebuilt, what else?

    Unless you are good at floating synchronized transmissions! I like class 8 trucks. I do miss driving them a little. You are correct. Need all linkages and cross members for your particular trans. Only bad part it that the ranger is expensive! Like $1400 for the kit.

    Getting transmission rebuilt, what else?

    Anything is possible! Its going to be a wide-ratio np435, got that nice 6.68 low gear. Find an idi bellhousing and it bolts in like a lego! The ranger is a 27% OD that bolts in front of the trans. Its 7" long so your drivetrain moves back. But 8 fwd speeds vs 5, I like it.

    Getting transmission rebuilt, what else?

    Im looking into an np435/ranger overdrive swap myself! After I blow the e4od up. The 4r100 is basically a 1997-spec e4od with new internal speed sensors to monitor slipping in gear. Swap out the solenoid pack and torque converter and it SHOULD bolt in. 1997 was the pinnacle of Ford trucks...

    Getting transmission rebuilt, what else?

    I did! Took me a weekend and some redneck engineering to make a spring compressor and the special tools. If you are going to pay a shop to do it, I would weigh the costs of the shop doing a complete upgrade ( you or them order the newer parts, and they install) or finding a 1995+ e4od and having...
