    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 5th gear replacment

    So I got my transmission all apart and now I need to put the new nut on. I have been reading and finding mixed opinions on the "replacment nut". Some say to tack weld the nut to the shaft. I also need to get the tools to put the nut back on. Does anyone know how much they cost, or if you can get...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) truck got slower!!!

    They checked it with the pin. I went and talked with them today and they said it may have slipped again. They said sometimes they'll redo it a few times. He asked me if I got the gear back on correctely or is it off by a tooth. I'm going to check it tommrow when I put a new front main seal in.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) truck got slower!!!

    So a while back my dowel pin let go. I fixed it and screwed up the timing at the same time. I had a local shop set the timing they didnt tell me what it was at they just said they set it close to stock. They had to do it twice because the first time it came out of timing. After that the truck...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) blue smoke

    Mine has been doing this a little too. Not too bad. The timing was just done. I'm not too worried about it runs fine if I let it warm up a little more and as long as I plug it in it is ok. Oh an my grid heaters are working I think my head lights dim a lot when it's cold.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Help!!!! Cam Doesnt Want To Come Out

    Got it done. Set to 15 i believe. They knew what they were doing so I just let them do it. Seems to run about the same. Only problem now is the damn noise from the lift pump. I've heard of you guys isolating the the two parts. I dont know I'll look at it later. At this point it's just nice...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Help!!!! Cam Doesnt Want To Come Out

    So I got it all back together after I messed up and bent two push rods putting the rocker arm assembly back on (oh well). I fired it up today and it idles fine but when I went to drive it it cuts out and blows white smoke really bad. My guess is pump timing. I was reading that sometimes they...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Help!!!! Cam Doesnt Want To Come Out

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Oil Leak KDP???

    Tore it apart today. Yep. KDP Strikes again. And just think I was going to tab it thursday. Oh well. So the local cummins shop cant get a front main seal. I have to go to the dealer, they want twice as much for it go figure. I have everything else on order it'll be here friday...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Oil Leak KDP???

    Well thanks for the input. I'll see what it is today. I cleaned everything up and let it run for a while and it looks like the oil is not coming from the top of the motor. So KDP is probably the problem (murphy does like to follow me which is nice cauz college is expensive. ) My plan is to...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Oil Leak KDP???

    My filter is on the passenger side. The leak looks like it is on the driver side. I am going to clean it today (it is a mess. ) We'll see what the problem is i guess. Back to my other question. Has anyone tried to fix the old housing if the Dowel pin does fall out? I've never seen one...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) locking diff

    D70's are one of the harder diffs to get lockers for. I think the air locker is the only one. I dont believe detroit makes one which is what I would want. I think you can find factory posi's and that might be your best bet. I would think an ARB would be to delicate for that application. But I...
