Block looks good, I have it all torn apart and cleaned up. It's looking like I am going to do the valves and put it back together. A compression test will confirm success. Thanks

Just a question because of availability... ... Thanks

Sorry for the novel, but here's the background... Last year I began the project of collecting parts to do a cummins swap in my 91 chevy V30 dump. I purchased a 97 dodge 5 speed truck that was wrecked. The gear housing actually broke off in the accident, seperating the injection pump from the...

Are there any known issues(IE dana 80 drum clearance etc)? Do they stick out obnoxiously compared to stock? I am looking to continue running 285/75/16, is the 16x10 wheel a better choice than the 8' width? Any past experiences are appreciated. Thanks, mike

1200 isn't too bad if you are not going exceeding it. I would think you could do a little better than 27 lbs boost though. Setting your wastegate to kick in at say 32 may make enough difference. Just a thought. Good luck, Mike

I know it's a dumb question, but epoxy doesn't seem like a good idea and normal rivets would mean drilling through the case. Where can I pick up the style rivets that were used originally? Thanks for the patience. Mike

Just a dumb thought, but why couldn't I use a magnetic base dial indicator to set the timing?

This is making the idea of welding my case back up seem like a good idea... . Oh well, looks like I am in the market for a snap on setup... ... Thanks,

sounds good, at least this will get me on the road for now until I pick up the timing tools. Thanks for the help!

So if nothing else, if I reinstall the pump using the pins, I should be able to get the truck to stock timing, correct?

Long story short, the KDP claimed another(I bought the truck with a broken gear housing). I am in the middle of replacing the housing. I did not lock the injection pump timing pin in place before removing the gear from the pump. Is this a problem? I was orignially under the impression that all...

HAHA that's pretty funny. I didn't even think to look on AFE's site. I would love to know who sits around and dreams these stories up, especially when corporate is involved. Thanks!

awesome Thanks guys!

I bought the K&N for my old truck and barely used it. It would be a shame to have to spend 25 bucks on an AFE cleaning kit if I don't need to. It's probably a dumb question, but there shouldn't be any major differences between the two besides oil color right? Thanks for the input. Mike

Stupid Fan clutch LHT Nut Frozen solid, need advise... Well the clutch is locked solid and driving me crazy on the highway. I have tried on three seperate ocasions to get the SOB off. I've tried everything I have found on TRD from the proper wrench, wrenchs on the 10 mm nuts to attempt to keep...
