Yeah, the first few days the poor old truck spent a fair amount of time with the APP pegged. Now, I'm trying to predict and easy through the firm shifts and take advantage of the modified shift points. Honestly, I'd come to hate the truck and I still have some issues with it. I'd rather sit...

I put a 4" straight pipe on the 94 TD along with a Heath chip and a fresh set of injectors. Wow.

About an hour ago, I installed a 4" flowpro with soot trap and muffler deleted and I'm quite satisfied with the fit/finish of the unit. The hangers matched up well and the supplied clamps work fine.

My 94 1/2 ton is working its way rapidly from daily driver to ranch vehicle. It'll be moving around my 2012 JD 3720 and implements on a 17' trailer with dual 5200# axles so it's time to get serious with mods. Anyway... Is anyone running a straight exhaust and dumping it forward of the rear...

I'd previously stripped the housing on the passenger side terminal but not the driver's side. I did so while I charged the same side battery. It's surprising still how much that plastic hides. It showed a more nominal indication this morning. Nice explanation, War Wagon. Thanks.

Geez, it's been forever since I've been here largely because it's been forever since the truck misbehaved. In fact, going to work I thought to myself how reliable it's been. That was a mistake. On the way home, the voltage was well below the normal indication and would dip when the turn...

I found both the lock washer and the nut in the frame crossmember. A new belt and it's back together. We'll see if there's any damage.

My spouse tried to kill mine today. The alternator dropped the pulley nut. She drove it home with little brakes and no power steering. I can't understand it. The belt's woven into the fan blades, it's low on coolant and the batteries are getting a charge right now. It started and...

Yep, mine's a floor mounted dog pecker. Bet some of you wince next time you go from 2 to 4WD.

Just to follow up, it was the Thermo Linear Actuator. Couldn't have been easier to fix.

You could either install a 3.42 in the pumpkin or even easier just find a junked rear end with a 3.42. After that, I don't know I'd worry about it. I don't go over 70 mph but if you have time on your hands, keeping the rpm down while cruising may increase performance some but I consider my...

Surveys are worthless without science. Even TD says "generally" regarding belt sizing and variances. The only way to actually sample experiences against results is with a pound measurement at the tensioner. I believe that tight belts contribute to fatigue on shafts and would prefer to run a...

Are you doing this with a cold or hot block? The difference is about 1/4 turn. If it's not dissassembled too far, bring it up to operating temp and make that bolt the first thing you do. I had the same problem when pulling mine both times I've had it off. Additionally, it needed tightened to...

It may be a generational thing. My nephew gets praised when he doesn't pick his nose for a half hour. He thinks he's the best thing since the outhouse.

Removed from the 4.5 section.

When I was working for Butler Aviation at Sea Tac before I joined the Air Force, I worked the night shift. As part of my duties, I was required to pull one measured gallon out of every fuel truck and inspect it. It was not to be returned - you were to dump it in the pit that drained to a...

No, but it is relevant. Only a 6.5 er would try to fix the mirror; anyone else would just buy a new one and move on.

So? You still could have driven down the road and watched it fall off. Where's the fun in just fixing it? Actually, both of them scratched the paint to the primer on the way to the ground. Just ignore me.

The thing I find amusing is that it's one of the few parts you can actually watch fail. Both of mine I saw wiggling kinda funny right before they flew off.
