So I bought my ‘11 back in February with 200k on it, got it $13k so I was happy. Had new Injectors, EGR Cooler, Vacuum Pump, tires, and DPF put on right before I bought it. I got it and deleted it with EZLYNK Running a 80hp tune. So flash forward to June and 15,364 Miles later I was cruising...

So I was thinking that at one time I remembered reading that you can run the 4R100 without any controller in a swap rig. Am I mis-remembering or is it possible? How good are the US Shift units or the HGM Units for trans controllers if I do go that route?

Looking to build another logtruck, found a '94 Freightliner fld120, 280WB, 24 feet of frame after cab. Has a N14 Cummins 435hp, 18spd. My question is how good is the N14? Can the HP be bumped easy and reliably? Anything to Watchout for?

So I did a cab swap last weekend. I put a '05 cab and front clip on a '03 chassis. So I found that the ABS is a bit different (location and wire plug) so I was gonna just swap in the '05 ABS unit but I found tonight while starting to connect wiring plugs that chassis wiring is different on the...

So my '07 6.0l has started hydro-locking when I park it overnight. I had my truck in 9/10 months ago and had heads put on and studs put in. EGRs been deleted since I bought the truck. I'm not going through any coolant and I'm not having puking issues. This all started when it developed a miss at...

Just bought a '05 F250 6.0 4x4 6spd with 300k miles for a $1000. Truck runs but seems a bit tired. So I want to throw a Re-Ring kit at it (don't think I'll need to do anymore) but I can't seem to find just a re-ring kit, they all seem to be master kits. Anyone have a place I could get a re-ring...

Got a '02 F350 7.3l with Dual Alternators. How ar ethgey regulated? Are both contributing all the time or just one unless heavy load? The lower alt seems to be squeeling and i was hoping it was something that a guy could just reomve the Idler and install the shorter belt on and not have any...

What's your thoughts on a Big Cam 400 Cummins. It's in a '81 Freightliner backed by a 13 speed. Going to look at the truck this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Anything to watch out for? Do they make good power and can more be made safe and reliably?

Looking at maybe buying a '93 Freightliner FLD120. Has a 425hp Detroit, 9spd, 40k rears not sure on the ratio yet. Has the non integrated sleeper so I'd like to take that off, stretch it 5' ad a tag maybe a pusher and put bunks and a Serco 7000 loader on it and use it as a log truck. I know it's...

So I'm swapping a 96 P-pump into my Excursion, I'm ditching the 4R100 and putting in a 47Re.. Plans Are to get a Anteater to run the trans but I was asked today if it was possible to get the computer out of a 96/97 Auto Cummins and have it run the trans... Is this possible?

So i'm getting ready to swap a '96 12v into a '00 Ford Excursion. The Ex is a 6.8l Auto. I'm wondering how hard is it to put a 47re or 47rh in instead of the 4r100. Which of those 2 trans would be a better choice? Id like to be able to run the trans without a PCS. Simple is Key. Thanks

So I bought a Diamond Eye 4" exhaust for my '03 F550 6spd. I see on the box it says auto Trans only, I got on the interweb and looked but I can't find anywhere where the state anything about manual trans... will this exhaust work or do I need to return for something differnt?

So I recently bought a '03 F550 Reg Cab 12' flatbed, 6.0l 6spd 4x4, with 115k miles. Truck was rolled Leaving no good body. Picked it up for a $1000 so I can't go wrong. I have a '75 F150 Ex-Cab 2wd Long box that was actually bought for parts to rebuild my '76 Highboy (high school truck I...

Looking at buying a '03 F550 Reg. Cab. XL, 4x4, 6spd, 6.0l with 115k miles. just had a FICM, HPOP and related oil parts installed (0 miles) solid flywheel and clutch (300 miles) The truck was Rolled and has been totaled out. None of the body is good, flatbed is destroyed, and won't have...

So I just bought the wife a '09 Expedition. And she asked me if it was possible to put a diesel in it. So my question is, possible to put a 4bt in the Expy and keep the auto trans? I was looking at 4btswaps and those guys are putting manuals behind them (wife can't drive manual). I think theirs...
