Busy day today, 12 volt alternator setup finally arrived!! I'll load pics later, the Tapatalk app has tried to load 1 pic on here for the last 15 minutes

Ah, so I had the weight rating off then.

Seen the 205 run in the Chevy dump trucks from the 80's. Maybe an aftermarket conversion. Its not synchronized so no shifting on the fly, but it is compact and very durable. If the stock tcase will survive the power from a DT466, then no need to swap it out. The air shift in my deuce is...

Love to do that with mine one day

You might not have the red paint to mark the gear, mine was unpainted. I could see the mark on the gear by looking over the driver side tire, through the vent slots in the wheel well.

That is a lot cheaper than anything else I've found. If I have anymore fuel pump issues over the next 3 weeks I'll buy it from you. Like I posted earlier, a engine swap would be down the road. Another reason (to me) for the swap is getting replacement parts. I've spent the last 3 weeks here at...

Been checking out the specs on the DT466 this morning, looks like a great match for the truck and my goals. Similar RPM range, around 500-650ft/lbs torque in stock/minor adjustments. Think if left stock and I stay away from towing heavy the spicer trans could survive for quite a while. Weight is...

I'm running that on the trans shifter, works great. Let us know about the tcase

If a smaller engine is installed like the duramax, 5.9 Cummins, or DT360 it could be pushed even further forward. This would all be awhile before it begins. Gotta move, get a place to live, job, everything before this happens haha.

Looking at the Eaton transmission catalog it would have to be an 11, 13, or 18 speed to get a better overdrive ratio. All the other models run a .78 overdrive, the ones listed run a .73. I was planning on upgrading to a better overdrive anyways. I'd change trans if necessary to handle the...

Yes they are more complex with all the electronics, especially with an Allison added as well. A DT 360/466 backed by a fuller manual would fit the requirements very well, if I can find them for a reasonable price when the time comes.

Would depend on the cost mostly. Cost, fuel economy, maintenance, reliability, those are the main concerns. Matches why I like this truck and went with a deuce. Easy to work on, take care of a few things and they are reliable. Regular maintenance parts are reasonable.

The Dmax is tempting because I have an 05 truck with that in it, and having a difficult time selling it. Reg cab 2wd. Plus its quiet with a lot of power. The Allison would have to be built. A DT360 or a Cummins with a fuller behind it would be great as well.

The engine swap would not be cheaper (unless I got really lucky). It's a personal opinion thing. I can't justify to myself spending a grand on this engine for 1 part.

The electric pump is reliably feeding it for up to 2300rpm. So I am running out of fuel at the top end. On the upside, if I do an engine swap to either a 5.9 Cummins or a 6.6 Duramax, that pump is good for a 700+HP build. Way overkill haha.

I went with an electric fuel pump, Raptor 150 high pressure. Couldn't find a replacement stock booster pump without buying a complete injection pump. If the HH gives up the ghost over the next 2 weeks during the trip I'll buy a new one. If it doesn't, we will see. Maybe a engine swap in the future?

Agreed, I'm not sure I can justify (to myself) over a grand for this injection pump when this one dies.

You need to align the timing mark to pull the head.

I'm at 4 flats turned up so far. Have the normal FDC injection pump. Pretty sure your right welldigger, the booster pump died out during the trip to drop off the shelter, so at least a few hundred miles of accelerated wear.
