Nope, they are a perfect fit. They will rev to about 3100-3400 in an 8.3L. You’ll want to manually shift the trans when you really need the power, as these will not change the trans shift points. During normal driving, no problem. The 8.3L in marine apps spin up to 3400, but they do use a...
That was very polite. Simp and I trade jabs, but in good spirit. He has touched every fastener on A1 series 923’s.
In this case, I would have pumped in air from an external source, such as a rental gasoline powered air compressor in the bed, or a 12v one running non-stop if the truck is...
I’m torn between listening to CCR or disco music when trying it.
I guess it is 5 in the basement, then 4 upstairs. Each of the upper 4 can be split in half. So, 5+4+4=13. Should only need clutch to take off, then just float through life. 500rpm drop on shift lever moves, 250rpm drops on...
Not yet, hopefully this evening. I ran it once when I bought it, and it was fine. The next test run is to confirm the 24v ECM reflash works, the Jake brake actuators are installed, adjusted correctly, and work, the front and rear main crank oil seal replacements aren’t pouring out oil, the...
Make sure tires are full to rated pressure. Beyond that, yes, the RV users of the 8.3L see large fuel economy gains by advancing injection timing (they bump up from 12 to 16 degrees, we are at 8 stock), and they also lay smaller yet positive claim to economy gains with a straight through...
There is another path to doing it. The injection pump timing can also be adjusted inside the pump by a calibration shop with a pump flow bench. You can pull the pump, and send it to a pump shop. Tell them it is currently timed at 8 degrees, and you want it timed at 16 degrees instead. They...
The best looking one I have seen was 3 black armchair minivan captain type seats across. All 3 could fold down to make a flat platform, or middle one only.
I did one like Chris posted. I just used an extruded aluminum commercial door threshold from the scrap yard. Was $7.
Also bought a used semi truck air ride seat base, and Recaro seat. Have not installed yet. I did not want to lose multi-passanger ability either.
Some good options spelled out here. As always, each their own. I drove my 1999 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L 4x4 5 speed manual for 17 years as a daily driver, never regretted the third pedal for a single second, especially since I ordered it that way. Looking forward to the 13 speed Road Ranger in my...
You could change out the trans to one with more gears. You could also add more power to your engine to push the lower ratio, or update the engine via a swap?
