    NV5600 2wd trans into D350

    So planning to swap the D350 with a 5600. The 518 has not impressed me. lol On my 4wd swapped trucks, I have used the speedo signal from the 205 as factory did. But the 2wd 5600 has no speed sensor to pull from and with no 205... Anyone know of a way to generate a speed signal for the speedo...

    What is best brand for front end parts?

    I have this 1993 D350 that I want to go through the front end. Ball joints are done already, but the steering idle arm is worn and figure after 30 years the tie rods, center link, and many other items should just be replaced if I am in there. What brand would you replace with? Looking at places...

    Trying to find a clear answer on the difference between a 250 and 350 front Dana 60. Do I gather they are the same spindle to spindle, but it is the hub that is the difference? Reading on line has given me unclear answers. Where I am going is I have a 250 Dana 60F that was originally in the...

    Front to rear gear ratios...What is maximum variance allowed?

    Looking for guidance. I am aware front to rear gear ratios do not have to be 100% the same. Many new fords even come with a slight difference in ratio (example 4.10 to 4.11). The 90 has 3.08 axles. I want to stick a Dana 80 into the truck, but dont want to lose my lovely highway gears. And as...

    Anyone in Texas that can give some advice?

    Random question.... I may end up being in Texas towards the tail end of October with the the 1990. Question is, anyone know of anything first gen related happening in that time frame that would be worth planning into a trip? Any good boneyards 1st gen friendly? Anything of diesel interest...

    Lost power after new 366 spring install? Is that normal?

    So, the 1990 was spewing fuel out of the AFC vent. So I pulled the pump, and sent it to a very reputable shop in the area as he has been rebuilding these pumps for over 30 years. He flow tested the unit when he got it from me (23cc) and then replaced the all the seals as I didnt want to half ass...

    Alright folks, I am getting this going 11 months early. But we all know some of us need some time to get our trucks road worthy. TDR goes back to CMEP (Cummins Midrange Engine Plant) in June 2019. Last time we had a reasonable amount of 1st gens show up. By reasonable I mean pathetic. This was...

    Who sells brake caliper spindle brackets?

    With the crew cab coming up on needing brakes, I have been looking at doing larger brakes and calipers. With these though, I need to modify the spindle bracket that holds the caliper but I dont want to modify the originals in the event my idea fails and I need to revert back to stock. Does...
