Posting for a friend in the Abbotsford, BC area. He's got a transmission from BD with the upgraded valve body, increased line pressures, upgraded torque converter, Torque Loc, the works. Guess it's the same transmission that Piers runs. Anyway, he tows a lot and has decided he'd rather have the...

Fifth Gear Nut In my circle of people, I do not know and have never heard of a truck with a 3. 54 rear end loosing the fifth gear nut. Not saying it doesn't happen. I had the dealer do mine at 60k and they paid for it. I've since had the transmission out due to breakage (pieces of third gear...

Clutches Allow me to start by pointing out that I'm running modified Sacks from Joe Donnelly. I paid about $1,300 for it. It has 3,900 lb. springs and four pucks on each side. It doesn't slip and I'm told I'm knocking the crap out of 475 HP but have never had any luck getting a dyno to read it...

I've got a new one in the box I can make you a good deal on and I've got one in my truck that's been in for about six weeks we maybe could deal on. I'm interested in the four inch in line unit to help me with EGT's.

I searched the site with tricky terms like "timing", and "injection pump timing" to no avail. When I had the engine on the floor, I set it to TDC, pushed in the pin and then pulled the plug on the back of the fuel pump. Looking me in the eye was a little spade. The plug has a little plastic...

Yes, I'm running four pucks on each side. Donnelly told me if I ever planned on coming off the porch I should pull three per side. Said his is holding 625 HP and 1,400 ftlbs torque. As far as driveability goes, I can't give a qualified statement about the before and after (6 to 4). I had such a...

Mr. MGM Gene, When I put the Sacks in, I had the flywheel turned at NAPA. Oooops! Should only have that done at a real machine shop. This isn't Dad's Chevy. Anyway it was beating me pretty badly and I was going to pull the transmission again to get it done right. Then I spun the Sacks at a...

The right fix? I've had three engines on the floor in the last couple of months, mine and two '96's. In addition to the reason the engines were on the floor in the first place, we pulled the cover and performed our own little KDP fix. My '97 has about 130K, the first '96 had 130K, and this...

Hey Joe! Thank you for the input. Didn't know about the vibration issues. Have another question for you. Does lower compression require more advance on the timing? Spent the weekend under Gary's hood. Pulled the engine. Pulled the pan and checked main bearings, replaced the rod bearings, did...

[Bad enough Dan has to hear it from the wife but another member?] First. Had to rib Gary a little. I don't really believe things would have went so badly had they not been driven hard during the week. I'm not saying driving hard is wrong. I burned the rubber off mine right up until I broke...

eh hem If I didn't know you I'd be awfully afraid to hook up to a big trailer now. All that breakage from one little ole' 16,000 lb. trailer! As Paul Harvey says "and now for the rest of the story!!!!!" Maybe before too many bleeding hearts want to come to your rescue (or feel bad about...

You guys have provided exactly what we were looking for. I appreciate your time. We will contact all of the above. Every day is an education. We'll let you know what we do and how it turns out. Thanks again. P. S. We'd taken so much grief from so many people about the worthiness of our...

A friend of mine has had his head ceramic coated on the exterior. Mostly a looks thing, but is pushing on to have it coated on the inside too after the valves, decking and porting are done. We've heard all the talk about the coating coming off and eating a turbo, etc. Not likely based on current...

Mike, The work (disassembly) starts first thing Friday morning the 22nd of June. We'll be at Chamber's Construction in Kingston. I can give you directions if you'd like. Chris Chambers will be the man in charge. His work on my truck was flawless. We'll be reassembling on Saturday. Gary has a...

It's my first time in. Sorry about the novel. I'm minding my own business lolly gagging at 45 to 50 mph behind traffic when I looked down and saw my temperature gage pegged high. I turned on the heater and got cool air, oil pressure was normal, no steam from under the hood, no smells, no...
