    look at the front engine mount and the cross member to get it done.. dont sweat it..

    I think the injection pump timing will have to be changed, around 5 degrees I think, since you will eliminate the the econovance.. I did one a few years ago. I also took the timing pointer on the front of the engine off the bad engine and moved it to the good engine. I did have to drill and tap the threads in the timing cover so I could mount the pointers. there are 2 round reliefs cast into the timing cover where the pointer goes.. fuel lines will be different. I wish I was smarter about injection pumps.. But there are a few on here that are very smart about them.. Jojo

    That was 7 years ago.. hopefully he still has it in good shape.

    That post is 6vyears old, I suggest you start a new thread, include year, model, and engine series, and tranny..

    It's a chore.. I know.. Glad you are working on it.. its a cool truck.. Have a great 'Q'.. eat some yumm yumm for me.. Jojo

    I would bet that it will run good, and smoke a little, but clear up. I assume you are looking to buy the truck.
  7. Joey Mack
    Good deal!! thanks for posting the fix.. easy repair, and you didnt need to fire the parts cannon at it..
  8. Joey Mack
    I have limited knowledge on them but in recent years worked on 3 of them. It takes a bit of effort to find the parts and then to find someone that can fix it or machine the parts that need machining.. at least where I'm at. Not saying it cant be done, just giving you a heads up on what to look for... There are quite a few guys here that have better knowledge than I do. hopefully they can shed a good light on this one.. Jojo

    it looks like #6 is using oil.. when will you try to start it up? Keep in touch..
  10. Joey Mack
    dont sweat it... is the coolant diluted with water and not a 50/50 mix? the centrifugal filter is not the issue.. is the radiator filled with dirt in the cores and needs to be pressure washed and cleaned out? lets keep it simple..
  11. Joey Mack
    185.. is it hot outside? 200 isnt that bad. if the thermostat and fan is managing it.
  12. Joey Mack
    Thats better than Chinese Torque... ''Way Too Tight'' ''Gooten Tight'' is good enough.. around 200lbft..
  13. Joey Mack
    I know one thing... That hood is friggin' heavy....
  14. Joey Mack
    The pins are tapered where they go into the axle beam.. both ends are straight.. the taper is designed so that the pin will not move upward with a load on them, and the thrust bearing takes the load of the front end weight. I wish you were doing the repair.. You would see what we are talking about.. Not being there is also an issue for me, and I am sure, for a few others on this thread... Jojo

    You say the tranny was re-built? by you? or another? you say 3rd gear grinds, in low and high range. 2nd and 3rd, share the same shift fork and sliding clutch. was the shift cover gone through during the re-build?
  16. Joey Mack
    E-7,,, Great engine!!
  17. Joey Mack
    post a good picture of the engine from the top and both sides.. I expect it to be an E-7,even though you said its an '89.. But it could be an E-6 4 valve. door locks should be doable. open the door and look for a metal tab in-line with the key hole. post a picture. Pictures are a huge help here.. Lots of very smart guys here!!
  18. Joey Mack
    I don't recall a single service manual. I guess you want an engine book, E-6, I assume, then a tranny book, and a few elec. Diagrams..
  19. Joey Mack
    Yes you can pull the snap ring, however you will need it.
  20. Joey Mack
    As far as revs/mile.. can't you just mark the tire at the ground, and roll the tire til the mark is in the ground, then measure that distance and divide it in 5280.
  21. Joey Mack
    Wow. I've never seen that kind.. it would be interesting to see
  22. Joey Mack
    Yes, GW.. we call them dog dish type. It pot type.. as far as going to a 15 1/2" clutch. We offered the option, be you can get a 9 spring HD clutch, and machining the flywheel is easier to get done, than the pot type. Plus guys around here don't know how to set up the dogs.
  23. Joey Mack
    I may have the diagrams, if so they are the big foldable type. So posting a picture won't work. I guess if you post a specific need I might be able to help..
  24. Joey Mack
    Does any of the bolts stick out on the inside? If so you may be able to use a vice grip and screw them out from the inside
  25. Joey Mack
    forgive me if I dont know, but isnt that pilot bearing the same one for an E-7? I know its a dog dish flywheel, but,,, anyway.. I bet Allied Bearing can find it. Does it have a snap ring around it? If i recall correctly, I replaced a dog dish E-6 4V flywheel with a new E-7 flywheel, no need to be concerned with timing teeth due to it being full mechanical. then I was able to put an Eaton Easy pedal clutch in the R-Model,, Now that I typed this,, I Know I Did !! you should consider it.. bigger clutch, with options, and parts are available..
