Looks like our old thread suggests using overdrive single side frictions which are no longer available. Hoping experienced builder could give updated suggestions. Same for planetary gears sets.. what brand? I'm weak @ 300 hp.

1992 DODGE D250 PICKUP 5.9L L6 DIESEL Turbocharged Shock Absorber | RockAuto Monroe, sachs, kyb?

So for whatever reason, my d250 has no sway bar. Anyone have a front spare? Maybe there is space to add one .. ? I see adco and hellwig only seem to have rear bars. Perhaps a GEN 2 or 3 ? M

Good afternoon guys- So, I was trying to do the ole 3200 rpm governor spring and I cannot get the fuel pin out. I is a DennyT II I think- been in for years. Never adjusted the power setting. I took the diaphragm off-but not sure how or what I need to do. Perhaps something has worn... M

Can someone point me to a good write up on killer dowel pin repair? I see some mention that the cam thrust retainer bolts also need to be retorqued... got no idea on how to do them. Case bolts and KDP yes... Michael

Ok Guys, I'm not not use to starting in cold weather. Today it was 16F and the engine barely cranked(slow). It has a fairly new battery( year or so) and I'm wondering what is normal. 15W40 Mobil oil. Are you suppose to wait till the grid heaters turn off? Should I disable them somehow...

Guys, I'm at time for new brakes.. past time. In the old days- there was a quality difference in Borg Warner,Centric, Bendix,ACdelco etc. I see them on Amazon from $55-68. From the pictures, it appears only the Bendix show a welded on balance weight. Perhaps the others are remove metal or...

So our external regulator alternators are out of denso production. The 98 and up alternators are available new at the autoparts store. Anyway to easily use one? Any good source for oe dense alternator parts or kits. Trying to avoid China or lifetime remanufacture which don't last like the...

I'm seeing this Cummins number listed for 94-98, but in the pictures it looks like ours. Nearly half the cost. Other option is smp makes the th245 which is made in the usa.. about $250 and lifetime warranty. Third option is China made part on epay for 10-30 dollars. I'd prefer the Cummins...

Guys, Is there a way to adjust the Transmission valve body so I can get 3600 rpm prior to shifting? Seems like my 1991.5 shifts early. I'm asking in this forum because it may soon be converted to a P-pump. Michael

Guys, I'm wanting to update my GEN I truck with Condensor, intercooler and trans cooler out of a 2000 or so GEN II dodge truck. Michael

I've got a 1991.5 and want to upgrade my intercooler? I thought the GENII's would fit- but I WANT to keep a/c. Anyone know of a thread or NG where this has been done with nice pictures? If there is room, I can do a GEN II condensor if it's bigger. I think ppl remove the factory oil cooler...

Good afternoon guys, I have read and re-read the 47RE clutch upgrade. Great help but I was hoping there would be suggestion/aggreement on other upgrades? I'm assuming a 1994-95 47Rh will have a front planetary which is aluminum. Q: Did allt he 47RE's come with steel planetary? I'm looking...

Guys, I got the new dana kit for the D70 diff- there is NO friction material on either part. One is shinny metal other is black.

Guys, I'm reworking a Dana 70U (605509-3) axle. What type of yoke does this have? 1350 or 1410? Is it simply one has straps and one has u-bolts or is the joint dimensions different. What do ppl do about corrosion inside? It has some rust blooming in in the axle tube and a slight bit on the...
