Is that Dodge Brothers car? I love how they look in your photo and the 1928 Dodge Brothers that Steve Darnell has

I have just recently experienced bubbling coolant in my 2005 freightliner with a C15 cat. A little worse than your truck as I smelled the coolant as it’s being released by the rad cap. After releasing the pressure with a rag, I peered into the cooling system and seen bubbles coming up...

Is it possible to put a tone ring with sensor on the drive shaft yoke like all of the big trucks use to signal their speedo? They use a simple set up even on mechanical trucks.

5.9’s never came with a HX40. HX40’s are reserved for 8.3 Cummins. The 5.9’s only had the H1C, HX35, HY35, HE351. Other applications like farm tractors have a smaller turbo than HX35 with no wastegates for lower hp.

I am not sure what I have in my 1997 4x4 but only put Moog ball joints in the passenger side since owning the truck. All other steering parts are the same when I bought the truck except the track bar and passenger side Moog ball joints. Put over 250,000 k on. I did buy a AC Delco pitman arm...

If I remember right, Sir Robert’s (RSchwarzli) 1990 daily pulled 285 hp, 720 tq with his factory turbo and injectors years ago. His injection pump was adjusted for the first time that day. Stock power was 190 with 460 at the wheels I believe. (Supposed to be 160 flywheel with 400 torque) The...

I can easily imagine Robert’s daily having large tractor tires on the rear and small tractor tires on the front :D

I found this online while checking out AAM 12.5 that Ozymandias mentioned. https://www.rushgears.com/?referrer=GoogleGeneralGears&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxoDrmPKu6QIVlq_ICh3Fdw7lEAAYASAAEgL_7PD_BwE# Maybe custom gears?

Ozymandias: interesting.....

Robert: your truck currently uses 285/75/17 tires? My memory is shot :confused:

NIsaacs: Robert also has the Gear Vendor Overdrive. I forget what his theoretical top speed is with the setup he has but I wouldn’t recommend he actually try it. Too many people with badges lurking around.... During the one Cummins Plant Tour trip back in 2013, his truck achieved 28 mpg. Best I...

NIsaacs: Robert here has 24 speeds in his W250, 3 shifters to use. :D He uses all of them ;)

Robert: You’re not the first to shear a carrier in half. I have as well but it wasn’t in my Dodge lol. I went with a Detroit Tru-Trac. They don’t require special lube to be added, or servicing. They’re a lifetime unit. If that is the only issue, then any of the after market, like Eaton, ARB...

I have used a Tru-trac. Strong unit. Robert: when your D70 got hot, what was the cause of the failure?

Another easy fix.... who needs 4 wheel drive? We live in Canada where it snows and freezes. Just remove the drive shaft. :D

I have a 100 year old drill press. Massive 750 lb piece of machinery. Came from the time of overhead shaft and flat belt drives. My dad installed a 3 speed manual car transmission on the main shaft. (Now comes standard with reverse!) I’m not sure what year the 1 hp motor is but it’s larger...

The shop I go to, lifts the cab on the rams as it’s much quicker once they have the procedures down. This guy knows these trucks so well, he can strip it all down, bare frame, clean, paint, and install everything back together in 2 weeks time. All while fixing customers ram trucks everyday...

Easy fix. Tape measure the height of tires from the ground to center. Deflate the front tires down. Calculate the ratios as if the tires are smaller. Even though the tire size hasn’t changed. Or inflate the back tires until it looks like a balloon. fixed. :D If we watch the sled pullers...

Different brands of tires themselves also contribute to mileage difference even if they’re the same size.

We did have to buy a tool ($200+) to extract the broken spark plug from the worst spot, the last cylinder at the rear of a 2007 F150 5.4:mad::mad:
