    C6 Bolt patterns

    I'll take it as no. But I'm glad to learn Diesel C6's are more durrable. Gives me ideas of canibalization for when I rebuild the one on my wheeler.

    Newbie Questions

    I've got a 1st gen so I don't think the plate thing applies to me. I've heard about a pipe plug that can be removed from the head that the boost guage can bolt to. For the egt it looks like I'm gonna have to drill the manifold. Thanx for the thoughts and comments.

    Thanks Holtzer. Thats the kind of info I need. Any recomendation on aftermarket parts? DTT and ATS are two I've noticed from other boards. I may as well change out all the clutches if I'm going to pull the trans for a TC anyway. It's on my to do list. I think my next mods will be boost and...

    93 Dodge Cummins Upgrades

    I'll check the routing. I know what you mean though. That's how I have it set up on my wheeler. On the wheeler I used the AC condensor as the trans cooler. Great cheap upgrade since AC didn't work anyway. I'm keeping AC in the Dodge though. ;Sweet

    Cummins 4BT conversions

    I was wanting to put one in my FS Bronco. Speed and towing is not an issue with this rig. Getting some fuel economy would be nice.

    auto power

    I just checked out the Diesel Dynamics calculator and for my aplication it only allowed me 190 hp. Is my automatic only capable of 190 hp? How much is too much for the trans? I know that heat is the enemy and plan on doing some stuff to keep the temps down.

    too much smoke

    I'm new here and still learning so take what I have with a grain of salt. I'm guessing by injectors you mean aftermarket. I've learned so far that excessive smoke is caused from too much fuel. So you've got to figure out how to use up the fuel either by increasing the airflow or other means...

    93 Dodge Cummins Upgrades

    I forgot to add that whoever had the truck before me added a tranny cooler. It's mounted on the drivers side in front of the rear tire. There's a plate to prevent it from catching mud and rocks from the rear tire. Next time I go to the boneyard I'll pull an electric fan for it which I think...

    93 Dodge Cummins Upgrades

    If I gain 60 hp with this then I guess I've gone as far as I should go with the stock trans. Alot cheaper too. But I have a disease called wrenchitus. I can't leave well enough alone and once I've started it never stops. My 4x4 is a good example. Now I've got a hauler to build. lol.

    water/meth and propane question

    Has anyone ever used water/meth injection AND propane at the same time? How would this work in small amounts? or do propane and methanol not play well together?

    Injector Question

    I'm curious about how diesel injectors are labeled. I'm seeing them advertised as anywhere from 30-150hp. Is this how much they make over stock injectors? Does the injector pump need to be bumped up to keep up with the new injectors? I'm sure if you start adding a whole lot of fuel you'd...

    93 Dodge Cummins Upgrades

    Thank you for your reply. I'm learning more every day. I've only started researching this stuff. I thought I was all high and mighty owning the famous Dodge Cummins 6BT Diesel just to find out I can't maintain the speed limmit on hills and getting passed by retired geezers in busses (no...

    93 Dodge Cummins Upgrades

    Hi. I've been browsing around here lately and thought I'd share some research and hopefully get some feedback from you guys. I just today returned from a camping trip pulling my 18 foot travel trailer. dry weight is around 6000 lbs and loaded with water and camping stuff I'm guessing around...

    6.9 conversion in the Bronco

    I would like to get the crossmember back in there since I hacked the bottome out of mine. Don't do this. I learned the hard way that you need the bracing there for the steering box. so I tied the crossmember sections together with a piece of 1/2" plate It keeps the steering box from pushing...

    6.9 conversion in the Bronco

    I've been thinking of the conversion and I'm very excited. I want to gather parts (there's alot of them) so I can do the whole project at once. I want to pull the Bronco body completely. Once I have that gone I'll add the F250/F350 crossmember (I hacked mine) and drop the engine in. I want...

    C6 Bolt patterns

    I was wondering what the bolt patern on the 6.9/7.3 idi was comparable to if any bolt patterns on the gasser engines. The reason I ask is that I have a small block C6 and a big block c6 which will bolt to the 351M/400M/460 motors. The small block C6 will bolt to the 300 strait 6/302/351W...

    6.9 conversion in the Bronco

    Thanx for the link. I'm leaning more towards the 6.9 again just for ease of install. I need to find a cheap donor. :)

    Bronco performance

    What axles are you considering? Do you mean you plan on replacing the stock axles with something else? I love my 14Bolt but ground clearance with 33s would really suck. If you were going to stick with 33s or 35s a FF rear D60 might be the ticket. They kind of suck with the stock axles in...
