Is this some kind of specialty truck? Is upgrading to a newer compliant truck an option, it might be cheaper in the long run. I'm not trying to be...
Never did the engine swap. Sold the truck with that boat anchor of a Mercedes & bought one with a 6NZ cat.
I have a snap on wheel balancer so my plan is to spin them up & if the inside dual needs say 6 ounces & the outer needs 8 ounces I would mount the...
I have a buddy that has a 4 new centramatic balance rings for 22.5 drive tires that he doesn't want & I can get cheap, but I run 24.5 drive tires....
Thanks, I'll check into it. I know horsepower isn't cheap but I don't wanna spend much money since its just a spare truck.
This has nothing to do with emissions so I hope it doesn't get deleted. We bought a 2000 Kenworth with a C12 because we needed a spare truck....
My first truck had a 15 double overdrive in it & it was bullet proof pulling a hopper bottom @ 100,000lbs. My last truck had a 13 & my current...
I had an '06 that was the exact same way. There were days where it felt like it would pull 90,000lbs easier than it would pull 60,000lbs. It...
Yeah I saw your other post, if you can make one good motor out of the two that's that's what I'd do & then sell the truck for something with a...
Is there any difference in internal parts between the 350hp, 410hp & 450hp motors or are injectors & ecm setting the only differences?
Mine was doing the same thing, checked all lines & fittings, replaced governor, unloader valves & purge valve & still didn't fix it. It was the...
I have to see some pics of this water cooled trans or I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight......
Don't need one of them then. Found an '05 Western Star 4900 long hood with a 14 litre that's had the EGR deleted & engine work so we'll see what...
Thanks for all the info. I want another Western Star & would like to find one with a cat but its easier to find one with a Detroit. Our current...
Looking at buying a used truck, possibly with a Detroit. All we've ever ran is cats so I don't know much about Detroit's. is a guy better off with...
Exactly, I don't mean to be rude & don't claim to know everything about trucks. But, some of the questions people ask on here make me shake my...
A 15 where you split the top end?? Every 15 I've ever seen has the deep reduction gears & either an overdrive or direct.
I agree, Its one thing to tear it down without a book, not sure how he plans on putting it back together without one. If you mess with the pump...
Installed the fleet engineers fenders over the memorial day weekend, they've been holding up pretty good so far.
If your looking for a good farm truck go look at a western star. They have good ground clearance for pulling in & out of soft fields, spacious...
