Can anyone teach me some basics? Friends bought a house that came with an early 70's Ford dump truck with a Cat 3208 (no turbo) in it. They were told it was parked due to a broken driveshaft...Driveshafts are where they should be, nothing appears broken. But the air filter assembly is in the...

What is the case made of on a catalytic convertor on a gasser, specifically a 2012 Subaru? Stainless perhaps? Wondering if I can weld this back up. I don't want to replace this entire header crossover cat combo. You can see how little of the case is holding this together. Sent from my...

I have other obligations that require money I don't have (I need to remodel my rental property so I can sell it)...so I am selling my diesel project. The truck sold without the drivetrain, so that is all I have left to sell. I would prefer not to part it out just yet; I simply have too much...

in a 2013 Regular Cab Long Bed DuraMax/Allison with 263,000 miles? Has B&W 5th wheel and Gooseneck hitches. Bed is a bit beat up and it has a few dents here and there. Clearly used for towing, a lot, possibly hot shotting. I don't know much about it, as I haven't called about it yet. Just...

Officially requesting a grey one next uear and a black one the year after....

A buddy of mine is build a challenge car again. The Grassroots Motorsports Challenge has a very limited budget and tight rules regarding it. He is looking to turbo his BMW and wants a VGT turbo from a Ford 6.0 or Cummins 6.7....CHEAP! Something in need of a rebuild is fine, he is only...

I need a single valve cover for a 12 valve....doesn't half to be in wonderful condition, but something I can cut in half and use as a frame of reference. :thankyou2:

I don't feel like typing up an entirely new post, all the pertinent info is here...http://www.competitiondiesel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172011 Feel free to make inquires in either thread.

I have a Gear Vendors I won't be using due to several direction changes. I is basically new as it was rebuilt by GV when I bought it. It comes with the computer, main switch and coupler for a TH-400. It does NOT come with an adapter or a dedicated on/off switch. I bought it without an...

I'm sure someone has done it. A buddy is considering this for his '05 Excursion and no he won't go Cummins, I've asked. Does anyone have any resources to point him to?

So, I'm tired of sitting behind a desk and still have several years of it to go. Therefore I am using my Post 9/11 GI Bill to get educated in something much more practical than Airborne Radio Systems...Welding. I've always enjoyed it no matter how bad I am at it. :doh: However, while I...

Painted the front bumper white (typical for the work trucks of the day)....i don't like it. It will be black once the weather permits.

What else, if anything, does the starter for a 5.9 Cummins come on? Mine is now garbage due to the wonderful design aspects and I don't have the cash for a new one, and the junk yards around here don't have many Cummins'. Thanks.:redx:

I've been looking around a bit and have not seen any recent information for a stand alone VGT controller and I cannot find any one your website either (I could be looking in the wrong place too). Is there one available for a non computer truck? Something totally void of electronics...

My question is multi-faceted. Little background...47RE with a full-manual valve body in a classic truck, so no computer. 1. Looking at different ways wiring Over Drive and Lock Up. I will run a micro switch on the shifter so neither will engage unless it is in third gear and will disengage...
