    Looking for this rubber swingbearing can anyone tell me if this is fact tree or aftermarket cant find a part number for it or even a picture anywhere

    Carrier bearing; looks like they come in a few different sizes. Check the diameter of your bearing to confirm ACDELCO 35mm bearing diameter: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5268735&cc=1440751&pt=12743&jsn=577 ACDELCO 40mm bearing diameter...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    After seeing the email I'm even more leery. 7 attachments?! A new brush hog for that unit alone is at least 5 or 6k. I'd say run away as fast as you can. Or ask for him to take a picture in front of the machine with today's paper. And given how expensive diesel is the trucking rate is too low to...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    Part of me can't believe that's real. Units without the backhoe go for 20k more https://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/search?Category=1110&ModelGroup=L6060&Manufacturer=KUBOTA Have you verified the company is legit, any way to contact the chamber of commerce or any other governmental agency in...

    Engine oil cooler lines

    The older blocks hat 3/8 NPT fittings in the block while the later ones hat 1/2" NPT As far as routing goes the lines should go the same. It's helpful to be able to secure the lines to the frame near the motor mount like it came stock. In @SnowDrift 's build thread he linked to a neat clamp to...

    Inexpensive power for my 91 s10 blazer ideas?

    I mentioned it in another thread but my go-to for a vehicle that size would be a VW ALH TDI with a mechanical injection pump off a Land Rover 300. You could beef up the ALH with BRM rods and pistons. Or go further by boring the ALH out to a 2.0 (81mm bore) and drop in a BEW engine crank, rods...

    Shock Suggestions

    Bilstein looks to be the most expensive of the bunch at close to $100/ each leaning towards these for the front: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=451801&cc=1053302&pt=7556&jsn=551 and these for the rear: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=503661&cc=1053302&pt=7556&jsn=547

    Shock Suggestions

    Seems the main difference in performance/ price is whether the shock is "gas charged monotube" or not. Non- charged AC Delco heavy duty on RA are around $45 a piece, while the Ranchos or AC Delco monotube units are between $57- $64 a piece So in anyone's experience is the extra price/ monotube...

    Need some help with an EZ-TCI TCM with a 6.5 diesel.

    I have a new in box crank gear and chain that came off my P400. Chris installed timing gears so no use for it. Also have a timing cover with the hole for sensor in it. If you'd like either for getting this to run I can give you a good deal.

    Leroy's Fluidampr harmonic balancer video

    I see nothing wrong with putting the transmission in 4th or 5th gear to hold it in place for torquing. Also, if you don't have a torque wrench that goes up to 200 you can use an extender tool to reduce the amount of force needed at the end of the wrench to reach 200 ft lbs. Explanation here...

    Shock Suggestions

    Need to get both front and rear shocks for the '93 1 ton dump project. What was on the rig appears to be original. Don't need anything fancy, just something to work as designed for the truck's use. All suggestions welcome

    Inexpensive power for my 91 s10 blazer ideas?

    I've always wanted to swap an ALH TDI into an old 2 door blazer. Folks drop them into Tacomas all the time and I think Leroy put one in a S10 years ago on here. Pretty stout little engines, you can convert them to mechanical injection too, and get 25+ mpg out of them in a Tacoma. Sorry if this...

    6.5L Penninsular Turbo & Upper Intake Kit

    I don't know the housing size offhand. Not sure if Unique Diesel would know either. My 35/40 going on the dump truck has a 14cm housing. I thought that the 14 was the ideal size for our pickups, but another fellow with way more time in these things than I ever will asserts that he can get a 16...

    6.5L Penninsular Turbo & Upper Intake Kit

    @Will L. the basic specs that I have (and all I have) is that it's a 54mm compressor and 64mm turbine. Six blade compressor wheel, never had it apart to see the blades on the turbine wheel. It's a shame they're not available anymore (at least at the moment from Unique Diesel) as it seems to be...
