That dog, nice cameo

This looks like a fun project! Starting with a hammered truck like this really leaves the door open with which direction you can go with it.

I used to have a chrome 2nd gen grill on the wall in my apartment with cool blue lights behind it. A self aligning spherical roller bearing for a 12” diameter shaft in the corner and a shaft coupling stud that was 6” in diameter and about 24” long... with the nuts on each end. Somehow that stuff disappeared over the years 😢.

I'll keep an eye out, it's amazing what you see parked in fields around eastern Wa. Don't bother doing it if you're not gonna make all the lights light up! On the other hand, I might want it for myself lol.

That thing’s gonna be primo when it’s done. Will be nice to know exactly what you’ve got.

I’m posting this for a friend. She’s not 100% sure on the price here but I’m just trying to help her get it gone. It’s from a 2012 F350, she’s asking $200. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...Ben takes his saw to new limits. Hoss ends up with a 4 banger, Bens lawnmower gets the first 2BT.

I think I’ve got her convinced to keep it this time. Never know what this crazy state will come up with next.

I suggested keeping it in case the truck got traded or sold. I think she’s planning on keeping the truck for a long time.

That’s an awesome idea Ben. A guy could easily add forklift pockets, casters ... Sure beats an old tire in the back of the truck.

So what’s the general preference for monitoring fuel pressure on a ‘99? Light or gauge? Getting ready to do some work on my buddy’s ‘99, he’s not super mechanical, not sure he’d actually monitor the gauge. Maybe I just answered my own question lol.

I swear that happens every time I sell something. If only I could figure out why.

Suprmn, are you on Facebook? There’s a dude on the Upper Left Cummins page parting out a white 1500 sport.

Are all of the Isspro EV gauges programmable? Thanks for the feedback fellas and offer to help with programming. I’ll put the options before him and see what he wants to do.

Babbitt/tilting pad bearing, sits in a big oil bath. It’s an amazing piece of equipment, everything rides on a film of oil that’s about 0.001-0.002” thick. If the machine alignment is good 1-2 guys can rotate that weight pushing with their feet.

This is our 2nd of 10 shafts loaded and ready to go about 25 miles to the rail yard where it’ll get lifted onto a rail car. Then it’ll get shipped back east for inspections and refurbishment. The shaft is right about 220,000lbs with the shipping fixture. I know the dude doing this haul, all Mack trucks, he’ll have a push truck to get it up the hill on I90. Tomorrow I’ll see if I can get a picture of it hanging from the mobile that will off load it to the car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No gear set, there’s about 800T of rotating weight that hangs vertical from a thrust bearing, almost double that with the hydraulic thrust. What you see is the collar and runner for that thrust bearing. It all spins at about 90 RPM. Yes the shaft was delivered. It got hung up in a few spots along the way. Like Scotty said, he did some bird dogging for me in ND 👍.

It takes more than that to make me mad but your message is loud and clear Steve. No argument here that Dave is on point with a 12V but I don’t agree that a guy needs to take his rig to someone with that level of knowledge to get one dialed in. The information is out there thanks to many who have been willing to share it. A guy like Projectdog (Brian I think) can do a bit of self educating, just likes he’s trying to do now and easily put together a decent running 12V. After all, isn’t that why this place is here in the first place?

Gee, I thought I had my truck running fairly well, guess I better go find someone knowledgeable.

My DDP4s had no noticeable improvement in mileage, power or cleanliness over those 370s. They’re probably capable of flowing more fuel than the 370s though.

Youre the reason I’m running them, I think I stumbled across one of your posts about them when I was putting the ‘98 together.

I've been running Boss shocks now for I think three years. I'd highly recommend them, these things are about as heavy duty as it gets.

Yep, like you said, it must have been in the shed. Had a brand new axle at one end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
