LOL!! Hey... Nobody was hurt, and it could have been worse. All you can do is laugh about it now!

Thanks again for all the feedback. I knew better than to use the chain I was using. I had been using the chain for over 10 years for heavy lifting. The hasp at the end is actually what broke. As I hooked to the engine I stopped and thought that maybe I should replace the hasp, but I talked...

Thanks for the reply. The crank is still true. Good point on the mains. I'll PM Nascar Mark on the balancer. Thanks Again

When I was removing my engine the end link on the chain I was using snapped just as the transmission was clearing the front crossmember of the frame. The front of the engine swung down about 3 1/2 feet and slammed into the driveway exploding the harmonic balancer/drive pulley denting the oil pan...

My wife is now pregnant with #2! No more off roading in the standard cab W250. Anyone who's done this conversion before have any pointers? I've gone through the posts and found a little here and there about it. I would like to talk to someone directly before I decide to pull apart the old girl...

Thank you for the reply's. I was on leave and looking for a quick fix. I ended up just soldering new wires on to the sensor. I gapped it with a quarter. Worked fine. In my search for why my alternator wasn't working, I discovered that I am going to need brushes soon. Thanks again.

I just threw my fan belt and took out the wires to my speed sensor. Does anybody know how to fool the computer into thinking that the motor is turning at all times? Would this cause any other problems?

What I ment by holding a gear longer is that when getting on the freeway the engine revs way up- no tach going, by sound- then it shifts into OD. The truck then softly lurches fwd. As for the 2-3 shift when driving around town it will hold 2nd gear unless you fiddle with the accelerator pedal...

I just installed the DTT converter into my wifes truck. The old converter cracked along the weld on the front hub. I also made some adjustments to the AFC diaphram to try and help the off the line performance problem that the much tighter converter produced. I was trying to bring the fuel on...
