Pilot bearing face to trans face measures 9-3/4" with the 5" deep flywheel housing. Trans face to pilot bearing journal on trans input shaft measures same, 9-3/4". Should be good. If I use my stock mil flywheel housing which is 1" deeper, the trans input shaft will not be supported, as the...

Is the low air light on? Let the truck sit overnight. Air will probably bleed down and be below 60psi (alarm point). Start cold truck, have parking brake off, and see if the alarm stops at 60psi and cold engine. G could be onto something. As these trucks age, sensors can fall out of...

Not sure. I don't know anything about the 250 flywheel housing depth. I do know on an 8.3 that the M939a2 housing for the Allison MT654CR is about 6" deep. On the ISL (auto trans, Allison 6 speed), and the commercial 8.3L with the factory 6 speed manual I acquired, both of those flywheel...

Got it, thanks. Greatly appreciate the input.

Turbo coolant lines both done. Top outlet has air bleed up to reservoir. Turbo oil supply line done. Awaiting turbo drain tube to arrive. Coalescing filter oil drains done (atop valve cover). It is a breather that separates any oil mist from vapor, and routes the oil back to the crankcase...

Interesting, thanks. Because you used the longer flywheel housing, I wonder if your trans input shaft is in the clutch and flywheel pilot bearing by 1" less. From measuring the "standard" flywheel housing depth I bought, the 5" depth housing is required to avoid this. If I used the 1" deeper...

Thanks. I assume you did not use the engine flywheel housing that was originally installed with the Allison auto? That housing appears to have 1" additional depth for the torque converter, vs a standard flywheel housing (not trans side clutch housing). Also, when you say intermediate shaft...

Just kidding bud.

Steering fluid expands greatly when heated. Reservoir over-flow usually happens if the pump / steering gear are stuck under pressure continuously, which overheats the fluid, expands it, and it spills over. Should only be pressure on the system when a turn is initiated.

The reason it is the best thing you've ever done to the truck is because of the high speed 8.3L A/C compressor bracket. Ultra yummy. They're those that have them, and those that do not.

Already doing. Corrugated hard stainless tube, silicone tube will be cut down so just short transition piece, same as stock.

High speed model. It will soon be the fastest 9 with a broken back window. I leave it just so all of you will have something to talk about.

Not really. :driver:

The 250 engine sounds like a machine to protect our freedom. The 8.3 sounds like your kids getting picked up for school.

You know, there is another name for a rooster...

People forget, the 8.3 can be turned up too, for little to no cost. Will run much higher rpm and vehicle top speed in comparison.

That was funny, and probably what caused all the flooding.

Come on, I was nice and everything.... :) Your assessment was unbiased, so I went with it. Now where's my cat....... Simp?
