It's a street motor with cast pistons. Nobody would blink an eye at .030" over with the cylinder walls .015" thinner than stock. At .060" over, the cylinder walls are .030" thinner than when it was standard bore. So why get so excited about .015"? Doug

After letting the loctite cure for 48 hours took the truck out today. Drove and shifted perfect. Ready to tow to Milan next Sunday. Doug

I agree with the stock Hi Stall 10 3/4" used in 340's. It'll be darn close to what you want. And there cheap. Doug

One box is 36 sqaure feet I covered the floor and any access hole in the doors. I've seen people put it on th eroof as well. The more coverage you install the quieter it is. I did my 67 Jeep pickup. Didn't do th ecieling or the vertical at the back of the cab. the results were amazing as this...

Kill-Mat is the same as Dyna-Mat for less money. If you aren't worried about weight this stuff is great. Really quiets the interior from road noise...

The only deal driving the 5 speed is wind out 4rd a bit. To be honest 95% is 60mph state roads or interstate. The only thing I use this truck for is to tow. The motorhomes are cheap enough its probably going happen. Doug

I thought about a 6 speed. Cost was more than it was worth. Actually on the fence right now. The slide in camper needs an upgrade. So It's either a newer camper $6-15K. Swap the trailer for a gooseneck with living quarters, $20k. Or buy an older Cummins pusher motorhome, $25-30K. Both the...

Diesel, hopped up to about 330hp. Forgot to mention. Don't leave the shifter hole uncovered for a week waiting on parts. Damn bird came in and crapped everywhere. seats, dash, door panels. So this morning the interior got a full cleaning Doug

The press fit shaft is not available. A few rebuilders use the full spline slip fit shaft with Locktite 620 sleeve locker. This shaft also features a split washer that fits into a groove in the shaft held in place with a 2nd coned washer. The rebuilder I watched said this works extremly well...

The car doesn't need to have the wheels rotating to test line pressure. Could it be driven and tested ? Yes. Could you pull the trans and tear it apart? Yes. But what would you be looking for? I've been building Torqueflites for over 45 years. If it was mine the first thing I would do is...

Driving along on my 8 hr trip home 2 weeks ago. Coming down the very steep hill on I-75 into Cincinnati. Traffic coming to a halt at the bottom of the hill. Truck isn't stopping. Pedal is firm. Fortunately it was on an edge lane. Pulled onto the shoulder and missed the cars ahead. Had a pretty...

Hoosier makes a 10.5x31 radial. They were previously marked 11.5x31. They changed the sidewall designation. The guys running N/SS with them have nothing but good things to say about them. Duell's Wagon has been 1.22 60ft off the foot brake on them. I'm going to get a pair when I need tires...

Here is a picture of stock factory linkage. You will see the green spring holding the linkage forward against the carb stud in the closed throttle posistion. At this point the KD lever is full forward at the trans. Granted minor adjustments can be made. But during low throttle opening no...

Pressure never rises with the crack of the throttle. The lever moves quite a bit before the cam on the throttle shaft ever contacts the throttle valve. Doug

I agree fill the cap bolt hole recess. White Teflon (PTFE) sealer will seal the thread easily. I use on any bolt that goes into liquid, oil or water. Works everytime. Permatex Thread Sealant with PTFE 4oz Doug

Putting the cart before the horse. Adjustment doesn't mean a thing if the throttle pressure doesn't increase with lever movement. If the pressure goes over 100psi with the lever back? Then it's most likely an adjustment issue. If the pressure is low? The valve could be stuck, valve installed...

Excellent. Doug

So governor i Pressure is fine. You need to test throttle valve pressure as stared in post #15. Doug

Sean Johnson. Very tough customer. Yhoigh today he was off a bit. I new to be ready. Took a nice stripe even though it wasn't necessary. Doug

I'd be looking for a bent output shaft. Doug
