Looks better. I’d still feel better if ya fixed that low coolant warning. Overheating is #1 killer of this engine. If you leak coolant below to temp sensor- it will never read hot. Many rigs like my hummer don’t even come stock with one unfortunately. So we have to add it aftermarket. I...

In our testing we didn’t do any inline pumps that were smaller fitting size. Factory is 3/8”. Hope this works out for ya. Please share date& mileage so others can learn longevity of it. Giver her some uphill runs towing a descent load to see if the pressure stays in the happy zone.

Zombie thread revival: Anyone know the dmax fan blade part number off hand? I’ve a nephew in need of one right now.

Probably gonna be all picky and sand it with a flapper wheel- then go the extra step and use sand paper and hand sand it linear (in Line with the fin instead of against it) to keep micro cracks from forming too I suppose…😉

See- that is enough to understand what info you are looking for. They weren’t trying to be jerks in the first couple responses. I read it and skipped replying because I didn’t understand what you were asking. I can’t verify that is the p400 part number- but everything I have seen the dual...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!!

A relay is not needed on these. The sensor life is frequently 35 years. That picture shows the sensor took a physical hit. That tiny hole in the middle of the flat spot used to be where it was soldered to the sensor. That sensor in the picture- buy one and install it. There is a...

The first thing to do is pin the harmonic balancer, regardless if you bump up power or not. If you aren’t familiar- look it up! The factory pins shears off , balancer spins on crankshaft, crankshaft snaps! Make sure to drill the pin 180° opposite of the factory pins. This is best for it...

Yeah- that is valid points. When I was doing these it wasn’t a problem getting good new drums, slave cylinders, etc. the reason I did it this way was, with everything new & perfect condition- you could run it for years without hiccups.

It’s a hv one that has a higher pressure check spring in it- and talking to the melling guy, he said they basically build all the pumps. But when they get the worse tolerances they become the off branded ones. All the melling ones are in the tightest toleranced ones. Melling M255HV-294S I...

Swapping out the sensor is no biggie. It will leak some coolant when you do it, so just get the old one loosened up, then have the new one close so when you pull the old one out you can quickly install the new one. Top off coolant and bleed out the air afterwards. Good to go. I would...

Lie-o-meter. Haha! A simple $10 mechanical gauge and pop it in where the factory ops is or T in at the line that feeds turbo. That’s nothing for blowby- lots of ring contact left in that engine. Maybe a can of “Restore” might help both issues, cost is about same as a quart of oil and it...

They cant sag that much. Man- there is just something funky with this truck. I’m waiting for you to do a frame off refurbishing and get measurements of everything from n8in8or’s collection as comparison. It just feels like a crossmember is bowed or something insane like that creating all...

I know a lot of people prefer the full floaters-supposedly stronger iirc. Personally, I hate em. Too much nonsense just to change brakes or anything. Easy mistakes for others before you to get preload on bearing wrong- the crazy heavy drum assembly in an awkward position means many people drag...

Gearing is good. Option to change gears is better. Power glide 2 speed vs 3 speed- the 3 speed wins. Then the 4 speed beat that. Keep the 4.10:1 gears and get the superdee-dooperdee over drive behind the overdrive. Just remember those gears are working harder so don’t go cheap or infrequent...

That is uncommon- super uncommon. Imo remove the block lower drain plugs and flush that engine and radiator. For those to fail - i would suspect the regular freeze plugs will fail soon also. The thing Marty is referring to is NOT lock&stitch. It’s a repair for the steam pockets- which...

Seen this issue over the decades- many times people don’t understand why brand X vs brad Y costs more. Often it is the difference of actual engineering vs estimated design, and or the difference of R&D vs just making parts. Factory is not always best. GmX turbo, factory exhaust, factory...

My sister & her husband up in Idaho were OTR drivers and also bought a tow truck fo do short hauls. Their plans are changing so are considering getting rid of their tow truck. $21,000 for 2001 Ford 4 door rollback 259,000 miles. PM me if anyone is interested & I can get y’all in contact.
