Hey guys, Just to preface,I have searched high and low for answers on this, talked to Pacbrake, and have not found anything. The truck I am working on is my 1997 F350 with a 12v Cummins with an hx35/HT3B compound turbo setup. Changing the oil with the compounds was always a royal PITA so I...

Hey guys, I went to update my old thread and found that it was closed so I figured I'd make a new one. My truck is a 1997 F350 CCLB with a 215 P-pump 12 valve cummins mated to a ZF5 and has been converted for the last 50k miles. Heres a pic of the truck currently: For the past year I have...

My 1997 Ford F350 has the factory Sterling 10.25 rear axle and it needs some work. It needs new axle seals, wheel bearings, and has quite a bit of slop. I am thinking that instead of investing more money in the old drum break 10.25, it is time to upgrade to a heavier duty disc brake rear end...

Hey guys, I just cannot figure this one out! Heres the story: The truck is a 2006 Dodge cummins and it started not wanting to shift out of first a while ago with no codes. So we replace the governor solenoid and transducer. After this the truck ran great for 400ish miles. After 400 miles it...

I have a Garrett HT3B for sale. I bought it to use as a second turbo in my twins setup, but decided on a smaller exhaust housing. It has a 32cm exhaust housing on it. I was told this turbo came off a running truck, but it needs a rebuild/reseal. Rebuild kits go for 85$ for an OEM one. It has...

Ive got an HT3B with a 32cm, but I need to get a smaller housing for it. If anyone has a 23 or 26 please let me know! 541-280-9694 carrickcustoms@gmail.com -Jon

Hey guys, Today I picked up a garrett ht3b from a buddy with some shaft play for a really good price, but I have some questions about it. I bought this for doing a set of twins with the stock hx35 on my truck. I thought it was a 23cm exhaust housing, but it has some misleading stamps on it...

Hey guys, I have been doing tons of reading and I think I have figured out the best way to go for me. I would like some good input to confirm my plans. I have a 1997 F350 with a 215 12v in it. This truck is used for towing and some DD use. I am looking for reliability and cool towing power. I...

Hey guys, I figured this would be a decent thread to start. I want to get some of the pros and cons out for these two seemingly good swap candidates considering both would be twin turboed for towing/daily driver setups. Ill start with these: Pros for the P-Pump Cummins: -Adapter plates to...

Hey guys, So in the past 6 months I have had 4 fuel filters crack or blow the gasket out. 3 of them were Wix filters and 1 was a factory Mopar filter. Everything else on truck runs great, even when its spewing fuel everywhere, but I can not figure out why i keep losing filters. I thought it...

Hey guys, I know this may be a dumb question but I haven't found any good info on it and don't know if it's a big deal or not. I have owned quite a few 12v's and all of them except for my current one started on the first crank. My current one takes like 3-5 cranks to start. The other odd thing...

Hey guys, Im almost done with this project, but i figured i would post it up for you. I am converting a 1979 F350 4x4 for a customer with a 12v p-pump, 47rh, and 241dld. The owner of this truck ordered it from Ford and wants to keep it on the road so he had me do a conversion for him. I used...

Has anyone been able to get one of these hooked up and working? I am trying to install one in my 1997 F350 that originally had the 460 but i have had zero luck with making it work. They told me to grind two more notches into the balancer, which i did, and then wire one wire to ground and the...

Hey guys, This past summer i finished my conversion project, but as everyone knows they are never really finished. Like the title says, i did 1997 F350 Crewcab Longbed 4x4 with a 2nd gen 12v and the S5-47 Zf5 speed. The motor is a 215 motor with a #0 plate, timing @ 17*, wastegate welded due...

Hey guys, Im new here and i have a few questions. I just sold my 1973 F350 Crewcab Longbed 4x4 with a 2nd gen 12v, nv4500, and 241 dld. Now i am building a 1997 F350 Crewcab Longbed 4x4. The truck currently has a 460 and zf5 speed. Im question is, would the zf5 hold up to a cummins with...
