I’m actually going to bump mine up 2* and see what it does. Im still contemplating using my water pump from Snow performance to build the 300 psi needed for the spill port timing.
Been a couple years since the meat of this thread was written. Anyone have updates on timing changes and corresponding EGT/MPG values? I still haven’t done this myself yet, but with the new replacement IP I’m getting about 7.1mpg and around 1050egt flat and level at 55mph. Still gutless on a...
I’m going to order some studs (RH & LH) from this place by this weekend, I’ll let y’all know if it is legit. Also going to order some extra nuts (RH & LH) as well From NAPA
I found some for $20/10 pack, only eBay and the military vendors are the ones over pricing that shyte, the rest of the ones I found were around $2-3 a stud.
i had about an estimated 5.8 tons in the back. I tried binding the back axle up (rear axle studs snapped) but every time I pulled a link...
No worries, I got the PN for the studs from Wes thankfully, I’m just trying to get the PN for the lugnuts now and my Dropbox is fighting with me. Haven’t been able to load the TMs to find the NSN so I can start working out mfr PNs for them
So far I’m not having any luck finding anything that will work, not even the 54/809 budd stuff. Everyone has moved to hub-centric setups and no one has locally sold the budd stuff in a long time.
Thanks for the quick replies. I know Jeff asked Wes late last night for me, since I had part numbers, I just wasn’t sure if the part numbers I had found were correct. Good thing I asked cause y’all two said they were wrong for my application.
In theory, it sounds like I can use the knurl info...
Does anyone have any specs/dimensions for these wheel studs? I sheared all 10 of mine off yesterday, leaving the truck stranded 40 miles from home with a few tons of high grade gold ore in the bed. Jeff is hopefully still pulling enough for one wheel replacement, but having some info on these to...
I just thought I’d add some pics since I just snapped mine today. Still looking for some commercial replacements for the studs and nuts. I tried chain binding the rear axle up, but with approximately 5.8 tons of high grade gold ore material in the back, all it wanted to do was sit on the ground...
I’ve had no problem sanding the CARC down to bare metal, of course I was using my electric DA sander with 36 or 60 grit. The perfectionist in me wants to remove all the CARC so that I can properly apply some industrial coating, but I really don’t want to deal with the dust from it either...
I’m also curious how this turned out, I’m debating on whether or not I want to strip the CARC off before I repaint or raptor it. I may just raptor the truck cab and use regular Rustoleum paint for the rest of my build
