    Leafs to coils on 2000 SD 4x4?

    Title pretty much says it all. How hard would it be to convert to the newer style coil spring suspension on a 2000? Kevin

    Ranger diesel conversion?

    Go for the International 2.8. Make a friend in Brazil to send you all the conversion parts.

    Airlift or Firestone and why? - Airsprings

    truckspring.com seems to have really good prices and does have them for most. I imagine the new coil spring trucks will be more difficult to fit.

    Airlift or Firestone and why? - Airsprings

    Got R done. Took an hour+ to drill 4 holes even with new cobalt bits. Sort of a PITA all around but I think it will be well worth it. I am considering doing the front end as well.

    Airlift or Firestone and why? - Airsprings

    Started installing them tonight. Ford frame vs harbor freight drill bits..Frame 1, drill bits 0. I got one side done. The hole drilling is the worst part.

    Yep he has that one on Truckpaper for 16k. It would cost me a grand in fuel to get it home probably. Not an allison fan but it is just about perfect in every other way. I think if I deal with brakes and wheel/tire with my truck it is adaquate for the times it would haul it all...

    All I really need to do is stick an F-450 Dana 60 under my front end, (mine has the 50) get the F-450 rear hubs and brakes all around and run 19.5 tires and I should be good. A 7 speed would sure be nice though. :thumbsup: Unloaded I am always looking for that next gear.

    Duke - what do you think of those conversion photo's? Earlier in the thread.. I found a Ford F-700 4x4, early 90's but a gasser. Not a crew cab either but lots of frame to add one. Since I have a truck camper the 4x4 is a nice feature but really detracts from freeway operation and the gear...

    Or find a crew cab, find a manual trans - should be able to trade the allison for a manual at a profit, move the rear axle and repaint to taste..Has a Cummins already. When you go that far you are really only after a VIN, a good frame and some good components that can be horse traded...

    I think a RTOO-913 would be just about right. That is a Roadranger rated for over 900 foot pounds and the last 2 gears are overdriven. I don't know what sort of bell comes on a 466 but if it is a SAE type then a Roadranger ought to be able to fit. Shifter, air, controls and all that would...

    That thing looks well...like ass but it probably tows great. What about the front axle? Seems like replacing an engine with one that weighs 400-500 lbs more is going to cause problems. The F-650 pickup guys run a Marmon Herrington. I imagine if you could find a military axle that had readily...

    The new GMC's look ..interesting. I do like the short turning radius, other then that it is just a Gay Mans Chevy. They are starting show up here in SOCAL. From the numbers an F-550 still looks like it has it matched in that range.

    Need a mid-90's something being parted out. Looking at the F-650 again, a 429 gasser, that thing is only worth about 10k I would think. Probably find the right motor/trans for under 10k though. Maybe a ratio change in the rear to get the speed up where it needs to be. Gotta be able to do 70...

    Stop teasing me...Probably sell my low miles PSD for close to what it would cost to do. 466 would fit in this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4616034314&fromMakeTrack=true

    My main requirements would be a 6 or more speed manual and a DT-466. Put that in a F-650 and I would be very happy. Or we could stretch my current Superduty with a custom frame and some creative body work and do it that way... I guess I am trying to do this on the cheap. I also sort of...

    How about this one? Bit of a haul but I imagine I could recoup shipping or driving it home by selling the dump bed setup. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-International-Crew-Cab-DT466-Diesel-Dump-Truck_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ63734QQitemZ4615611238QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

    I PM'ed Mark but haven't got back a response. He is a couple hours away. There are 3 issues with his truck though they aren't really deal killers - Mileage, Color and if I can make my Camper fit on it. I would like to see more and get some good details on it. Who knows, it may have already sold.

    Make sure the fuel pump shutoff isn't triggered. Small black thing with a red button on it sort of like a circuit breaker. To reset push in the button. They are usually up behind one of the kick panels. You should hear the pump run for 2 seconds as soon as you turn on the key. If not then...

    Unfortunately I don't have the cubic money for that or that legit of a need. If I found the right truck for under 20k and the buyer held in there for mine then maybe.

    The 5.9 is stock, if you read my options, I choose the 7.2 Cat. Of course I could buy something like this: http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/forsale/detail.asp?OHID=1089190&guid=31A9B02A1BD047E696D894ED3D3E8BE6 And have money left over to tweek the bed to haul my camper and tow my trailer...
