I defer to those with more knowledge regarding rebuild information about the exact ratios, but there is more than 1 ratio option IIRC

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Think Elon Musk should be worried? AWESOME post. T

Let's crunch the numbers: 8 miles is 9-18 minutes with a 3 speed and 7-14 minutes with a 4 speed. Occasional fishing and hunting in town is nothing, BUT family vacations 500+ miles away will make 55MPH annoying. Three speeds are bullet proof as they are mechanical. 4 speeds with their...

I will be Devil's advocate here... Another solution is the Diesel truck version of the 700R4 transmission. No computer required but driveshaft lengths will most likely be affected, (or so I'm told. I have not measured things out yet). No electrics BUT there are transmission cables and such that...

In reply to ACTION: 1.....Why not fix the problem before swapping the trans. You may be fine with it working properly. Because I'm looking for overdrive. 2.....Have you had the tires balanced? They are in the process today. Still, I will buy the autoballancing devices. 3.....I don't want...

I almost wanna throw in a five speed. LOL

86 I don’t understand your comment. Turbo hydro 400 is MV40, at least according to my old GM technical manuals

I drove it for the first time!!! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?182428-Well-finally-registered-her-and-drove-her-for-my-first-time Woo Hoo!

With aerodynamics like that it will not be good for long hauls. I assume 40 -60 mile range on best of days.

[I've been away a while... New house and moving and building up my new office and such. My apologies.] 6.2 liter, M1025. 1987 Engine runs smoooooth (for a Diesel). Starts super quick and smooth at 50 degrees F. What a kick in the pants around town but SLOW to accelerate. I got a TESLA X P100D...

New York State registration procedures... My suggestions... I only just went to the department of motor vehicles. I went prepared with a picture of the vehicle identification plate mounted to my HMMWV. This made confirmation of the abnormal vehicle identification number much easier and I was...

after reading your title...

Never said easy. I don't know the Duramax. He just fit a new power-train into his vehicle...odds are he can handle necessary mounting brackets. It is a viable option

Get a dual voltage alternator and wire two separate circuits [ie.: 24 V and 12 V]. Easier than swapping bulb and such, and dual voltage alternators came standard on many of our vehicles. Requires alternator and wiring harness conversion kit that also comes with new alternator mount. Site...

Am I the only bloke who is wondering why battery is such a hot suggestion when our vehicles are Diesel? Is it possible there is a fuel delivery issue? Are you running low on fuel? That could imply a fuel delivery pump issue. Keep her topped off, and consider new fuel pumps. My humble...

Search my old posts. Short answer.... NO. Long answer... I'm workin' on it. Best T

I decided to go with an under the fender system

How does one push start an automatic tranny? There is a torque converter between the engine and the tranny that would prevent such an endeavor.

Meh... Anyone can take a Sawzall and buy 3G worth of tires. I respect their right to hack a vehicle to pieces but not really what I like to see. I'm all for mods but this did not really hit me as something I might do. MHO... YMMV Thanks for sharing. Best, T

Well, I've noticed that occasionally on the more trafficked forums that posting allows multiple persons to view and comment on the written items. If I understand this newfangled technology correctly, PM's usually are a more private communication allowing one-on-one communication. :/ Not sure...
