    New Exhaust Opinions

    If you decide to go dual...do it right and go true dual. Your muffler shop can run pipe from each exhaust manifold and flat flange in pipe where needed to take out a section for working underneath whether to remove a tank, tranny or whatever. I went with 2 1/2" all the way to the rear...

    Cost for a Reman ZF5

    If your dead set on a reman or rebuilt one you will be very lucky to find one for less than 13 to 15 hundred, but if you are willing to go used you might be able to find one for 4-5 hundred and up....I found a used one and took the chance a few yrs. ago and paid $375.00 from a guy who really...

    axles

    Rear Axle I agree with Dave 001...If you have a Dana 70 it is pretty strong and you shouldn't have any probs...However, I think if you read up and compare Dana 70 to a Ford (Sterling) 10.25 you will find that the Sterling is a little beefier in more ways than one. I am not trying to persuade...

    Changing Fluid in my Dana 50 TTB (IFS)

    Warming thr gear oil Thanks for the tip on warming the gear oil...As far as the "suckeroutterthingamajiggy" goes...It should work, but if it don't I will figure out a way to make it work...If I can't I will either "drop kick" it back to Northern Tool and get my Ten Bucks Back! LOL

    Changing Fluid in my Dana 50 TTB (IFS)

    Hey Guys...I went to change my gear oil in my front axle. It is a Dana 50 TTB (IFS). How do I drain it? Do I use a suction gun or drill a half inch hole and tap it for a plug? I can't seem to find a drain plug...only a fill plug.. Thanks
