Thanks so much for sharing the details. How did you remove the tone ring for the output shaft? Regular two or 3 jaw puller? I remember there was a fellow on here a couple years ago struggling to rebuild the same unit and he couldn't seem to be able to remove the ring or read that to disassemble...
Thank you for the figures Will and for others chiming in. The "other source" is simply a fellow on marketplace selling heating oil likely sourced from people converting to propane or electric heat pumps. Lots of folks nearly giving away the stuff, saying come and get it but you have to pump it...
Did you put on new drums or re use the old ones without turning them down? A very out of round drum could potentially hang/ lock up quicker where it's more oval/ flat
Have you tried just backing out the adjuster a tad to see if that side is tighter than the other?
Given how much conflicting misinformation is on the internet, I wanted to ask the crowd here, in particular our residential fuel expert @Will L.
To be clear, I am asking only about use in farm and off road construction equipment. Dyed fuel in on road applications is illegal and not endorsed...
Yes I've heard of the pump rub issue on the cases that were on the 800 series trucks. I have the Sonnax split ring retainer upgrade on the 241 in my pickup, didn't know it was called a case saver. Thanks for the clarification
Case saver mod? Care to elaborate?
Is this a NP241 case or a BW4401? A little while ago there was a fellow on here struggling to disassemble a 4401. Seems parts are pretty hard to find for them. Thankfully the 241s are plentiful
No, you won't need the rivets. Reason being they are larger than your standard pop riven gun and buying the right size gun is prohibitively expensive. Re- install the regulator with either self tapping screws or stainless nuts and bolts. Think I went the stainless option but may not be necessary...
I've had the glue that holds the window to the track fail and then the track falls out of the scissor lift regulator. Have some good 2 core epoxy on hand for re attaching the track to the window. It's a lot of fussing and fighting in a tight space working inside these doors but once you pull off...
Once again @WarWagon is the carnage king! 😆
Once it warms up (single digits forecast here for the next few nights) I'll do what I can to clean up the block and get it to a friend's shop for measuring. Any potential engine rebuild will be done solely to flip for some money back to fund all my...
@dbrannon79 I'm pretty sure that the white smoke out the tailpipe was coolant as It didn't hold any in the system when running. When I pulled the heads I was surprised to see the gaskets intact, or at least there wasn't any obvious sign of a blown head gasket. Cracks between at least one set of...
ah interesting, I didn't think about buildup like that. I'll look at the bottom of the bore tomorrow but I think it's worse at the top. Even with all that blow by you think there could be a slight chance the bores are in stock spec? that would be wild
Stripped down the original engine that was in the dump truck when I purchased it. Every GM 6.5 I've owned has been a carnage candidate so I never paid much attention to the blocks, they self destructed.
This had insane blow by when I purchased it and I knew the engine was toast, already had a...
By Northeast coast standards that's not rust and is mint! Literally the springs look new. If that's the worst of it I'd say its in great shape at least frame wise
I have a buddy with a bone stock LBZ that is pushing 350k and running like a top. Trans was rebuilt by him a few winters ago. If you...
here's one that's a little more pricey but is available on ebay

If you go on thermal zero's website there's universal blankets that may fit. Or call them and see what they recommend, thermal zero seems to be a well regarded supplier.
I have never seen an ATT and can only suggest seeing how it compares size wise to a better known turbo like a holset hx35 or hx40 and see what turbo blankets are sold for those
I think the ATT is a mitsubishi turbo. If you can find out what the actual mitsubishi number is finding a turbo...
Another showroom piece 🤘 well done!
Since I don't see you opening a school for body work and rust repair anytime soon, do you have any links to articles/ videos on how to do the panel patching and bondo work you seem to have mastered? I've got lots to do on my rigs and have zero idea where to...
I know nothing about duramaxes but 17 degrees is cold for a diesel any way you slice it. I also don't know how to interpret balance rates let alone what "normal" is. I think @RI Chevy Silveradoman has a similar year truck, maybe he can offer some firsthand experience
Is the truck running fine...
@Custom Deluxe what do you mean by snap gauge style? I've seen the adjustable pushrods for finding length that just screw/ unscrew for adjustment that are then measured with calipers.
How does the stock length compare to what you've measured for using with the Harland rockers? Are you using the...
