I see you went from 4.10 to 3.73, how are you liking that i am moving up because i occasionally Tow and the 3.42 just is not enough. I am torn between 3.73 with my current 245 tires or 4.10 with 265 but i am thinking for the amount of times I tow heavy ill hate going to 4.10.

So i picked up on some website possible differences in the FF Rear Axle in that a company listed install kits for 1988-1997 and then 1998-2017. I was assuming that this more an internal thing. However i am looking at axle swapping the donor is a 1999 Suburban Full Float, will this be a direct...

I've had mine in the space behind the ABS unit on drivers side for years with no issues, but yes I do carry a spare PMD just in case. Cheers Nobby

Anyone installed an AGR steering box on their rig, browsing looking at their Super Box 2 which is variable 16 to 13:1? Cheers Nobby

Yeah my OEM tee's are still in good shape, I just need to replace the front core hoses. OEM are discontinued, the part guy gave me a full print out of the whole system and part numbers I'll post that here at some point. I have come up with the following Gates numbers: 18076 - 5/8" x 3/4" with...

Fighting a persistant weep on my heater hose. Can someone confirm that the front cabin heater pipes are 5/8" and 3/4"? The Tee at the top is 3/4 and so the black hose that goes to the smaller pipe is a reduction hose. Anyone got a part number for that I really dont want to screw around with...

Yep I get all that and to be fair I am running lubricity additive, run standyne only filters and have a fuel pressure gauge. I hear ya on filtration part of my business is primary and on filtration improvements on boats as well as the occasional tank cleaning etc. As touched upon in this...

Nothing against all the increase fuel supply mods (FTB) and I'm sure it technically is an improvement. However I do sometimes ponder just how necessary for some moving to a non stock style pump and the necessary plumbing adaptations is. I run fully loaded with tools all the time and pull a...

No i do not really have a specific number, all I can say is that I hear it more than when it was stock. I'd say though that it was before 210, definitely before 217. Cheers Nobby

I have the Kennedy and it definitely locks up earlier than stock. 2nd the carboard trick, I run a winter cover and hearing the fan in spring is my reminder to remove it. Cheers Nobby

I get that and whilst I have only given this so much thought there is plausibly merit in looking at temp differential using accurate temp measurement. Perhaps a waste of time but I'd most likely play around with installing a Tee and digital temp gauge and sender and seeing if I could establish...

As Will said normally differential gauges for establishing a clogged filter, however a crucial part to this discussion is that it is a circulating pump and hence creates a pressure differential to create flow so in a non pressure building pump set up not really most likely workable. So back to...

Isspro also is a quality gauge with same look that I install for clients and they have good tech service. I've even had them custom make me gauges in the past. Cheers Nobby

Are the forged LCA's still available? Torsion Bar Unloader: https://www.tillmantools.com/Kent-Moore-J-42393-Torsion-Bar-Tension-Unloader-To-p/kmtj-42393.htm Can be had on the bay pretty cheap normally, i picked one up a while back for around 60 i think. Cheers Nobby

I moved my FFM over to the space above the power steering pump where the 2nd alt option is supposed to go makes for easier filter changes and opens up the rear of the engine area. Cheers Nobby
