2500 rpm gets me 52-53 mph

I just drove it to town to go eat, it hit 3000 in 2nd and 3rd no problem, don't worry now that I've proved the point I WONT be doing it anymore!!!

No it was on flat ground, I was watching mirrors and just over revved it, by the time I thought "oh s--t" I looked down and saw 3000. I USUALLY shift about 1800-2000 ........but both my other daily drivers are high revving sbc's and for some reason it just didn't ring the bell fast enough. I...

I guess my ldt isn't set right or the governor doesn't work, I stayed in it a little too long one day, I heard it and looked down, it was at 3000!!!!

Fuzzy is located in college station tx but I believe he ships items, I think I even saw some empty engine cans out there.

Looking good, it will soon be whole once again!

Congratulations!

Wildchild, I'm not sure if you are open to the idea, or if it's listed here but fuzzytoaster has a good running lds from a 5 ton that he just parted out.

Just get a new grade 8 split lock washer to replace it with.

That's a great idea, I know what I'm doing tomorrow, VERY NICE truck!! Congrats on the truck and all the goodies.

Re adjusted the front bearings, went for approx 10m drive they are nice and cool now!!

Didn't have to force anything, re used all bearings, both inner hub seals and one outer, two new lock rings.

I know, but I already tried the tm's way, so I'm doing it the old fashioned way as I've read others have had to do as well. My new seals are identical to old ones, and I re used one original as a control, that hub is hot now as well.

The hubs are getting warmer than I like, I'm going to readjust all the bearings tomorrow leaving the smallest amount of slack possible

Gotcha, learn something new every day around here!!

Mine is titled with the 17 digit vin from the data plate.

I just used a trailer plate bracket and light, will see how long it lasts.

Over the last two weeks I replaced all the plastic fuel and return lines with the black DOT lines, sleeves and ferrules. Installed led brake lights and turn signals, repaired the wiring to the turn signals, also FINALLY connected the led license plate light that I installed months ago. The last...

It's BIG! He didn't shorten the frame but did shorten the original deuce bed, also has suicide rear doors.
