mowerman Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 You fellas might want to get a kick out of that. California is always sucking energy out of Nevada and this is the place that wants all electric cars by 2030 get this our new governor just told California to pound sand and find thier own energy. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/57/#findComment-525319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 66dc75 Posted February 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2023 Needed a bigger dump ttuck that won't get wagged around by my equipment trailer like my one ton chevy.

Onyx610 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 Looks like it’s coming along pretty damn good. Nice work. What kind of engine is in it?

66dc75 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 5.9 cummins and a seven speed. Not a ton of power but it'll get the job done. Only has 134k on it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/57/#findComment-525374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 Nice! That thing should get along just fine with the setup. Low mileage too. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/57/#findComment-525375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 That 5.9 is sooo much better than that shitty 8.2 Detroit they put in a lot of them. My god they were terrible….throw away engines. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/57/#findComment-525377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
66dc75 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yeah the 5.9 is pretty much bulletproof. I like that the closest thing to a computer on this truck is the radio. It's also a factory A/C which is pretty rare in a 97 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/57/#findComment-525378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a real thing. A place I used to work at a long time ago had the exact same setup truck. 12V 5.9 with a Spicer 7 speed. That stupid dowel pin wiped out the timing gears and the front of the engine. It had less than 50k miles on it. I think it was still worth enough to them they put a reman engine in the truck. I would pull your timing cover and see if yours has been addressed already and if not fix it. Its a very easy job and like a $50 part.
