I got the same thing when looking for a new washer and dryer for my house... I went to a local appliance store and I already had a good idea of what I wanted, so I was pricing them, and the sales guy came up and said "Can I help you" And I said "Thanks, but no, Im just looking right n...

you mean, oh, like... this?? http://www.geocities.com/josh19wrc/034joshbigtruck.gif sorry, thats the only picture I have here... those are mine. Yanked them from a 78 dodge snow commander. Too bad the rest of the truck was trashed, as it was originally a 440 4 barrel 727/205 truck.... Mine have a 4....

www.boyceequipment.com has them as well. From time to time they even have the uber rare flange that fits over the pinion splines (the part that your broken part is supposed to be bolted to.) oh, one more thing, like Lifer said, get the bolts, and put a dab of loctite on them, they like to loosen up,...

I didnt cover my spare body, but I laid plastic UNDER it, to prevent moisture from soaking up through the ground into it, and set it on sawhorses. Its been sitting beside the barn for almost 5 years and looks the same as the day I put it there. The trick is to put the plastic under it, and leave at ...

Great. My top plate was missing, and the bottom rod as well. That would explain why I could never keep oil in mine. I gave up after a while. I would fill it and there would be a puddle under it when I came out the next day. Teh guy before me rebuilt it right before I got the truck, I always assumed ...

heh, you and I are opposites. the rattle is ok to me, but the supercharger/turbocharger whine of the detroit is what makes me melt... :D I'll probably use the cummins, as its a better engine all the way around, but, mabye when I build an off road beater later I'll stuff a 6V53TT in it.... http://www...

So, I went and watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZWgrTde348 and I gotta say, nothing sounds quite like a detroit screamer! He has the 4-53T, which wont fit, but the 3-53T will. The power output to the cummins 4BT is comparable. Im probably insane for even considering it, given its heavie...

I must not be a 100% true engineer... I can use one to basic stuff, but most of what I can do on one I can also do in my head, so that probably doesnt count really...

good one^^^ hafta remember that. First set I put in I took the pedals apart. Granted, it needed bushings, so it wasnt the end of the world, but thats much easier!!

not bad, but this is my favorite:

sadly Ron is cutting back his presidential campaign and focusing on his congress campaign.

I don't know who to vote for, they all suck.

Im assuming that you guys are running stock 120HP 4Bt's? I was going to do a turbo swap, aftercool it, and bump the pump a bit to get it up to around 160 or so. The guys over on a few 4BT repower forums say that the peak efficiency actually occurs if you change to a larger turbo and play with the in...

Im afraid Im going to have to pass on the caddy. Two money pits is quite enough! I got a NOS set of drag links for the elder money pit for $20 shipped on eBay. Showed up yesterday, they look nice. On a side note, the twin turbo terror: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/josh19wrc/IMG_5032.jpg I lo...

Im hoping when I 4BT and NV4500, with my dana 60 4:10's and some 40" rubber I can get that cruise RPM down to around 1500 or so RPM, and still maintain a 60:1 low range crawl ratio. My Audi only gets around 26 MPG average (330 HP twin turbo V6 driving all 4 wheels, hard to keep my right foot of...

Cabel,

I sent you a PM but didnt get a response...

does anyone here know what he gets for fuel economy with his 4BT and 5 speed, and what his 60 MPH cruise RPM is?
