    Floor jacks

    My old Craftsman 3-Ton Floor Jack has finally given up the ghost. It's served me well for over 20 years. I found a thread on floor jacks from 2014, figure things have changed since then. What do you recommend? It's just for personal use, maybe 3-4 times a month, so I don't need a $500 jack but...

    ‘98.55 2500 QC SB RWD Auto w/‘95 12-Valve

    I’m selling my 1998 Dodge Ram 12-valve Cummins. The truck is a 1998.5 Quad-cab short bed RWD auto. It has roughly 320K miles on it, I’ll get the actual mileage and update the ad. This truck is my baby. I bought the ‘95 in 2001 and have owned the truck as it is now since 2011. My family and...

    160 p7100

    I’ve got a 160 pump off my ‘95. It’s got @ 500K on it, but it was running fine when I swapped it for a lower mileage virgin pump I picked up a couple years ago. I swapped the DV’s, plate, and governor springs into it out of the virgin pump, so it’s all stock, just need to torque the DV holders...

    1990 F-800 7.8L P-Pump?

    I have not seen this truck, a fellow I work with asked me if he could put a 4K GSK in it. He did not have pics of the pump, just the labels. He said it's a 1990 F-800 with a 7.8L Ford/New Holland engine. Max RPM is 2600, he wants it to pull to 3000-3500. These are pics of the labels. The second...

    Air Hose?

    Somebody please tell me what air hose to buy. There appear to be three basic materials, rubber, PVC, and “hybrid”. I’m looking for a 50’ 3/8” hose for an upright mobile oil-less compressor we use for airing up tires, nailers, and occasionally an impact and air ratchet. The hose we had was stiff...

    Dimming? LED gauge lights

    I’ve read several threads on using LED’s in the cluster but I have some questions from those that have done it. Can you dim the LED’s? What angle works best? What lumen works best? Thanks.

    GM NVG 246 Transfer Case Issue

    This isn’t diesel related but I thought maybe one of you fellows could help me out. I have a 2003 Avalanche with the NVG 246 Transfer Case. My daughter drove it nonstop 300 miles to see a friend. She had no problems until she got off the interstate and stopped at the light at the end of the...

    1st Gen Hot Rod/DD Project

    I had posted this back in August and thought it was sold in November, but the fellow couldn't come up with the money and the sale fell through, so I'm posting it back up. I just have too much going on and no time. I have two trucks, described below, that I planned to build something like this...

    Which Ring & Pinion?

    Well, the time has come to replace the R&P in my '98.5 RWD LSD 3.54. I'm @ 350HP, don't tow heavy(much...), no racing or pulling. There are several options available from several manufacturers and I thought I'd ask the opinion of the CompD knowledge base. As usual, the truck budget is slim, so...

    2nd Gen 2500 RWD Rear Axle 3.54

    Looking for a rear axle for my ‘98 RWD 2500. Needs to be a 3.54 and would prefer LS, but beggars can’t be choosers, so they say. I’d really like to find a later model with disc brakes. The closer to Nashville, the better. Thanks.

    Long term reviews?

    Well, who has one and how do you like it? Had any problems? What kind of mileage are you getting? My son is in the market. He wants a diesel but has no need for a full size 3/4 ton. My brother has one that he seems to be pleased with. He had an ECM/PCM issue right after he bought it but I...
