Difference between a SRW and DRW Be sure you know what you are buying and pull the cover. I bought what I thought was a DRW Dana 80 with disc brakes for my truck and ended up with a 2001 SRW disc brake rear. I know, I know the hub on the DRW is longer than the SRW. I had been looking for a long...

Air Ride Suspension I'm currently working on the rear suspension which I purchased from Air Ride Technolgies. I did have to make a couple changes to brackets and the shocks they supplied were too long, but for the most part it was a bolt on kit. I have not completed the project so I can't...

Elephant Ear Mirrors I have these off of my 1995 3500. They are in good shape and for sale. $50 Archie Taylor

Wiring on the firewall MBanning- When I decided to go without the grid heaters it allowed me to clean up the wiring. I bought powerbraid (I think that is what it is called) from Painless Wiring. I separated each wiring harness, then wrapped it with the coiled black stuff. I got it from Metro...

Grid Heaters Srath- I decided to go without the grid heaters. You cannot use grid heaters with this intake. I have a sweet (POS) 1989 Oldsmobile that I drive when it gets cold.

Losing the grid heaters I don't have grid heaters anymore. Does anyone have any tips on the best tubing bending benders, and tips. I'm thinking about buying one from Eastwood for this job. The tubing bender that I have won't handle the thick tubing. Thanks, Archie

Well, I have finally had time to put on the new Hellmann intake, but the number 3 injector line doesn't quite fit around one of the intake tubes. I have tweaked the stock line pretty good to the point where I think it might be weak in a couple places, so I think I should get another line...

powdercoating the head I don't think that powder paint will hold up on the exhaust ports. How about ceramic coating like jet hot? I have wondered about doing this when I do the head gasket. Archie

Torque Wrench Question Thanks for all of the replies. Archie

I need to torque something to 18ft lbs. but my ft lb. torque wrench only goes down to 25 ft. lbs. I have a inch lb. torque wrench. Can I just multiply 18 ft lbs. X 12 inch lb=216 inch lbs My friend says that you shouldn't do that because it won't be accurate. Thanks for any input...

I have heard that the newer gasoline formulations don't last more than about 6 months. But, what about ULSD? Also, is there such thing as "premium" diesel that has a higher cetane rating? Thanks, Archie

Here is another angle

Test Fitting the new Hellmann intake.

Phil, Since the FASS and the Airdog are internally regulated (30 or 40 psi depending on the spring), would putting on the external regulator in place of the overflow valve create problems since there would be two regulators fighting each other? I guess you could fine tune the external...

The Overflow Hi, I also have a Airdog 150 and have been trying to figure out how to properly shim the overflow for more pressure. I have a 40 psi spring in the Airdog and would like that pressure to be held at the overflow to keep 40 psi in the injection pump. I hooked up a regulator to a...

How about a Blow off valve? I have read on this site about BOV's solving barking. BD makes a rather expensive one.

Kit for manual shut off I sent a PM to Bruce Adams (screen name: Ben Rumson) and he has a set up with all of the part numbers for what you need to buy and excellent step by step instructions with pictures. He was very nice and e-mailed the instructions to me. I haven't had a chance to hook mine...

External Regulator VS. the Overflow valve My original plan was to use an external regulator instead of the overflow valve. I have a Airdog 150 which is internally regulated to 40 psi. The general consensus on this forum was that running a regulated fuel supply (the Airdog) and then adding an...

Now that I'm trying to shim my overflow valve to get more pressure, does anyone know what the maximum allowable inlet pressure is to a p-pump. My Airdog has a 40 psi spring so it won't go over 40 psi. But I'm curious. Thanks, Archie

Overflow valve shims Finding washers that are the same size as those tiny, thin washers inside the overflow valve is proving to be next to impossible. I was explaining what I was doing to the owner of the local machine shop and he suggested that I machine down the top of the overflow valve...
