    Need to give a shout out to Garrett!

    Pure Diesel built a new engine for me over the winter. We've had a few teething problems and they've been working on resolving them. Earlier today I drove the truck to their shop so they could take a look at it. Well, turns out I'm needing to leave the truck there for a while. Unfortinately...

    Fishing for some ideas as to what could be wrong...

    I have a freshly rebuilt motor. 5k governor springs that were installed on the bench (sorry don't know the brand), new marine flycut pistons, balanced rotating assembly, aftermarket cam (sorry, again, don't know the specs), pump was benched and the "barrels were turned", head was ported, decked...

    First start, can't prime fuel system.

    Got everything buttoned up last night on the new engine. Went to prime the fuel system and it's taking forever! I'm getting small bubbles, but no real quantity of fuel. I'm trying to bleed at the fuel filter, the supply line and the return valve. Always the same result, small bubbles, but no...

    Fuel line diagram

    Guy, it's been a long time since I tore my truck apart, so forgive me for asking a seemingly obvious question; How do I connect the fuel lines to my truck? The one line that's easy is the line connecting the fuel pump to the fuel filter. I know where the other lines go to, but I can't seem to...

    need to pull the engine

    I need to pull the engine from my truck so it can be rebuilt. Should I pull the engine-transmission-transfercase as an assembly, or should I split the engine and transmission? If I split them, how do I support the transmission so the engine will realign with it? Or, do I need to pull the...

    911 I fear I may have lost an engine

    Earlier today I was cruising down the highway at about 60mph when my truck developed a tire shake. As expected, if I varied my speed the shake went away. Later, I noticed that my exhaust was a bit smokier than usual. About 10 miles later, I turned off the highway and noticed that I didn't...

    Dodge suspension spacer blocks - $20

    I have a set of spacer blocks that I made for my truck. These are used to lock out the back suspension so it can't hop. Basically the block sits between the pad on the lift block and the rubber bump stop. These blocks are 4" tall because I have my truck lifted 2". You can cut them down as...

    Cracked my 271 tc and everybody's stumped!

    I was in a pull this past weekend and seem to have cracked my transfer case. The crack is horizontal and about an inch long. It's located on a flat surface between the detent spring bolt and the shifter. The case seems to work just fine. I only noticed the crack after the pull when I was...

    Crappy Dodge steering - any suggestions?

    Ok, I've had my truck for 7 years now and I've noticed in the last year the steering has gotten really bad. I'm now having trouble keeping the truck in it's lane and any trailer load over 7,000lbs is a white knuckle ride at 50mph. The center of the steering is very vaige. I have a lukes link...

    Looking to upgrade my front diff.

    Looking to upgrade my front diff. Does anybody know how many splines they have? To pull the axles, do the hubs come off? Is this done by removing the 4 bolts that are notorious for siezing?

    OT (but close enough?) 4B oil question

    Guys I have a 4 cylinder B series, naturally aspirated in my wheel loader. Cummins calls for 10w-30 oil for temps between -10 to 68 degrees. For temps between 10 degrees and 110 you step up to a 15w-40 oil. I live in Wisconsin and we'll see temps between -5 and 100. Obviously neither oil...

    water in fuel light

    Truck has been sitting a lot lately and I finally got the chance to drive it. I noticed that the truck felt a bit differently, it smokes less and seems to have lost some of the crispness when the boost hits. It wasn't long after that when the "water in fuel" light came on. I got some fuel...

    271 swap problem

    Earlier this year I swapped in a 271 transfercase from a Dodge to replace my broken 241ld. I have the speedo hooked up and working great but I'm having touble with the shifter. When I first installed the tc I realized that I had the wrong pattern so I sent the case to transfercase express...
