    5 Ton Air Filter Conversion

    I was able to find the correct replacement air filter for the wire cage at a local advanced auto parts. I was surprised they had it but they do carry them usually.

    6CTA8.3 engine rebuild for Sur Móvil

    Nice to see her coming together! Also nice work with the welds. I wouldnt try to tig weld without a pedal. Im too used to a pedal to try. Keep up the great work! Are you planning on an intercooler? Did you cut up an old intake manifold or is that completely new?

    2019 Spring Rausch Creek Rally

    I think its time to venture off the island as well! Tires are an important thing, make sure to bring a good spare. I highly suggest airing down once you get to Rausch as well. Plan on 5 to 6 hours if you leave during the day on Friday. I usually leave at 930/10AM on Friday and arrive Rausch...

    Major issue after installing 16:00's

    Im still going with something is broken or wrong dog bone. I suggest to find the same model 5 ton that is known to be straight and take measurements. Something is off, you just have to find it. New tires do not make a good suspension wrong all of a sudden.

    Major issue after installing 16:00's

    While it sounds like a good idea to have adjust-ability, the axles need to be square to them selves and to each other, or your going to have more problems. Have you checked your trunnion bushing to see if that has play in it? The space in between the wheels needs to be the same on both sides...

    5 Ton Pinion Seals

    Is using a big impact acceptable? Or is it better to use a big breaker bar? I dont know if shock loading the bearings will effect them.

    Rebuilding/ replacing fording stacks

    Post up a picture of the truck your talking about. From what your saying, you might only need to extend the straight section under neath the cab and then 90 it up to make it vertical. PVC is nice and easy to work with, for an emergency response vehicle that might get whacked with branches or...

    Doing something with the nhc 250

    I havent run enough power through the stock allison to find its limits. My 923a2 has some tweaks and the trans does great, even loaded with 16k to 17k in the bed. I know of a few people who are pushing a lot of power through the allison with lots of mods to the 8.3 with no issues. That guy is...

    8.3 turbo discussion

    I would check to see what the valve springs, mainly the exhaust springs are rated for. The 250 was never speced to have an exhaust brake. There is a lot of back pressure caused by closing the vanes, which creates the back pressure to slow down the motor. On the 5.9 cummins, you need to add...

    Which 5 TON is the best option for a toy?

    I think it depends on what your looking for. Had an 813 with winch on 395s. Great truck and truck looked bada** I loved the 5 speed and simplicity. I did not like the small cab, its very loud and the 250 left power to be desired. Also the sprag was a pain and didnt want to work when I...

    Doing something with the nhc 250

    People have turned up 250s and have turboed them. They are stout motors and are the same block as the 400 big cams. The 250s cannot take the same stresses for long periods of time like a big cam due to missing some internal components, but for hobby and normal use, they will hold up. If your...
