What did you torque your bracket bolts to? I started putting mine on last night and I torqued them to 45 ft-lbs because I thought I read that on here but that just doesn't seem like very much on something fairly critical like a spring hanger. Thinking I will go tighten them up a bit more. They are about 7/16 so can't go crazy but, it seems like that's just not enough. Nuts were anti-rotation though from Doorman so that was nice.

for the mount to the frame? I just hit them with a impact gun and called it a day.

Have fun cleaning the sticky off your keyboards!

About time you put that engine in! Is that IP supported at the tail end somehow, or does it have just the bolts that hold it to the timing cover?

And I just thought of something, with all that weight on the front axle, did you ever consider trussing it? Maybe not on the top cause of oil pan clearance, but the bottom? Not gonna lose much of ground clearance, and will help strengthen the whole housing quite a bit.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Just bolts to the timing cover. Its all pretty thick. And no, I figure is no worse than having a plow on it.

 

[ocnorb]

Super looking Jon!!

I found a Travelette and I'm trying to figure out how to approach 'she that must approve all cash transactions' about it.

 

[LCAM-01XA]

Yeah, good point on the snowplow weight. Altho just think, the speed-plowing you could do with this thing

 

[6.9poweredscout]

This truck will never know what a snow flake is....

Gm sending unit reads 0-90 ohms, IH reads 73-10 iirc. well I had to do something to make the gauge work!

This looked severely damaged to me, but nothing rides on it, just a sleeve over it, pulled apart a dodge case I had and it's the same. weird how they left it that rough....
