  1. A nice clean truck even with a 350 2v.
  2. This is messed up. Remember this is the same cult that pickets KIA veterans returning home from battle. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/12/16/westboro-baptist-church-picket-connecticut-school-shooting_n_2312186.html
  3. My Facebook post on friday "words can't express the sadness from today's events. No one should speak this villians name or feel pity upon him or his plight if any at all. May he rot in the darkest and most painful depths of hell."
  4. My 82 is the same way. That's sounds like a fair price. I paid $2300 in 2009 for a single axle air ride, 300 cummins, and 9 speed.
  5. Maybe that's why I never had an ounce of trouble with my previous duramax. I serviced it every 8-10k miles depending on the time of the year. That included new fuilds once a year and grease every interval. This one the previous owner claims regular pm but Ive found a 3 different brand filters with 3 different dates wrote on them so who knows. I do know that the design of the emmisions crap is horrible at best...you have an egr valve dumping sooty gasses across from a pcv valve venting mists of oil infront of a turbo sucking it all in. This makes for clogged intake ports and turbo that looks like the bearings are out of it leaking oil into the inter cooler piping. I blocked off the egr, wired in a circuit to fool the computer called a fingerstick, then re routed the pcv to vent like a Mack 673; out into the atmosphere. Lol
  6. You lucked out with the 02 3/4 ton then. Most common problem with those year d-max were the injectors. They are a pain in the ass you have to remove the valve covers and eveyrthing else get to them. GM changed these injectors design now so you don't have to do all that work now. This is my second duramax because I had such good luck with the first. I only had it 4 days when the head gaskets went lol I ended up pulling the motor for them and a leaky oil pan gasket. That one damn water pump bolt is buried behind the balancer! But the plus side of it is the balance slides right off the crank no need to pull it.
  7. I never drove the truck or even seen the truck because it was sold before I was even a thought.As the "garage talk" goes I'm just relaying what was told and he was always adament it was a 335 in the White Cabover because they were pulling for the same company with the same gross of steel coils.I thought the early 335's were 743's? Also didn't the 335 come in different hp rating? I remember seeing something like 250,280,320 and then 335 ratings somewhere? I do know however that the "turbo kit" was just some pump work, adjusted the injectors, exhaust manifold, and added a pryometer because of the lack of piston coolers. No pistons were changed. He hauled steel, concrete pipe, docksplank(concrete floors), and pulled box trailers pretty much every day for another 8 or so years after the turbo was added with no problems with the motor at all. The one problem he did have was with an oil hose he got made up at for the compressor. After two air compressors he figured out the oil hose had a defect and was made soild in the middle. But thats not engine related.
  8. I thought those 275 cummins with the superchargers were the "iron lung". Those 275 do sound mine especially with a jake and no turbo.
  9. We have some pics but we can't find them. I did find a couple of him and his H-69 single axle taken in 1967. If I get a chance I do some more looking.
  10. The video is an electronic/common rail injection duramax that was converted to mechanical injection. IMHO its pretty slick. I'm just wrapping up a duramax head gasket job and started thinking "what's involved converting this engine to a mechanical pump" when I came across this video.
  11. like superdog said it's about the same price for a cut off versus converting everything over but quicker and you would have heavier rears not just the suspension..
  12. 262 cummins were 220 cummins with a turbo kit put on. My dad added this kit to his transplanted cummins in '62 G-75 Cabover. He later got rid of the triplex, single axle/tag axle and replaced them with a 14spd quad and 38k camelbacks from a F model. He said with the 262 kit it would outrun new 335 cummins pulling Green Tree hill coming out of Pittsburgh on the "parkway" now called I-376. He loved this truck. He wishes he never sold it and always talks about it... That's why my name is "220cummins" on this board.
  13. I missed the EIGHT part of the first post. I'm guessing maybe he is going after something like this?
  14. jmpco is joe perry of cecil,pa. Cecil pa is right over the hill from canonburg,pa. Cecil actually borders canonsburg boro. These are the same guys. Muse I believe is part of cecil twp. They're all old little company mining towns.
  15. They're inline pumps for 5.9 cummins and I think the 8.3 cummins too.
  16. Yeah to get to intercourse, pa you gotta get your load through love canal,pa and everyone knows that if youre a little overweight you're not gettin thru that hen house. Seriously those guys listing the u-model are exporters and butchers in my opinion. They are the same guys that bought up 6 bmodels earlier this year burned off the camelback rears and stuck them up to any single axle Mack they could find and exported them. The bmodels were listed for a long while with the frame cut off behind the cab for 3500 or 4k each, a steep price considering no rears,rusted cabs, stuck motors, etc
  17. I had my b tarpped up for a winter while I was working on it but I used moving blankets to cover the paint so it wouldn't get any wind damage from the tarps moving.Its now stored "indoors" really just a makeshift shanty to protect it from the elements. I run it for about a half and hour every month or so to charge the batteries, get the oil moving gear boxes, and get some oil in the seals. I add anti-gel additive to the fuel as a precaution and fill about 20 gal of fuel in the tank. I also check the antifreeze is the right mixture with not too much water. Really the worst thing someone can do to any vehicle is to let it sit without running for months or years on end. I've rebuilt numerous gas and diesels due to that fact.
  18. heres a good bit of info on wheel base and cab designations. http://www.oldmacksrus.com/Info.htm
  19. Possibly the EGR cooler leaking internally then dumping coolant into the cylinders?
  20. Likewise I have had luck with Grand Rock on a few trucks.
  21. Who says I voted for him? You do know there were more than 2 candidates on the ballot in Pennsylvania.
  22. To some it's like talking to a wall, just like Karl rove last night not believing the FOX NEWS Decision Desk when they predicted Ohio going to Obama. You're own doesn't believe it's own! It's denial in the purist sense. My point though is we're not going to get anywhere with this denial and finger pointing. Like freighttrain said "that won't fix a thing". Life goes on everyone has to put pride aside,come together, and compromise. Romney said it, Christie said it, and Obama said it, "we need to put politics aside and come to together"
  23. That's really twisted....wishing misfortune and despair on someone because they didn't vote your way...BTW that would be close 60 million AMERICANS that you wish that upon. The voters have spoken. It's time to mend fences and fix this thing but no one will get anywhere with that kind of thinking on either side of the aisle or political party.
