One of my friends installed that system on his 6.7 CTD. It worked well until the kit developed an oil leak and he blew his engine up. He found that he had not tightened one of the fittings properly so it was not the kit that was the problem. He had installed his filters under the passenger side...

What experience do you actually have running these vehicles? After you have driven millions of miles and maintained machines for decades on end you MAY gain some more insight but until then you are coming accross like a know it all in many of your posts weather you mean to or not. They quit...

Here is a sad case of a 5.9 CTD failing on a fellow who was out near Jasper on holidays when the engine literally blew up. It may have been one of the infamous "53" blocks though. I have never seen one break like this and hope that I never do! moparts: Insane Cummins explosion! Dialup beware!

I agree with the positive posts about the newer 6.7 CTD engines. Nothing wrong with the old 5.9s but the 6.7s do pull a lot harder. I would not want to go back to a 5.9 after towing with the newer 6.7. After defeating the emission systems on these trucks they perform a lot better on fuel. I am...

When does this area open up? I have not been up there in a few years. Last time we were there they had opened up some more camping and improved the parking lot quite a bit. Any new changes? We were thinking of bringing a camper so we could just stage out of the parking lot instead of driving...

My friend bought one that was in worse shape than yours. The engine was broken from water getting into it and freezing. So he found a 2 stroke engine on Ebay that looked like it might fit. It actually bolted right up. It even came with a cool little chrome pipe with a stinger! So his son fired...

I have a few options for secureing my sleds and quads but am curious if one of my setups is legal also. When I purchased my sled trailer it came with some metal T-bars that screw down to the deck and hold the front skis in place. Is this in the same league as the Super clamps? I have seen...

Tracks are not that hard to remove. You can do it a few ways. I usually hold the rear of the sled up with a picker and then unbolt the skid frame. I do not recall exactly how to remove the track drive shaft on the little yamy but usually you have to unbolt one bearing cage on one side and then...

I sent them and email asking about transmission kits for the 68RFE. I will post any info if they have anything to offer for the late model Dodges. They sure make some cool and cost effective kits for the Allison transmission though! No problem! I went through this a few years ago. Have you...

If you want to gain a few mpg and still keep it stock then unplug the EGR on the intake manifold. This will stop a lot of soot (not all) from going back into the combustion chamber and cause less soot to accumulate in the DPF system. It will then go into regen mode less which will also help your...

Please post some pics of your creation. Sounds like fun! My brother put some chains on of his 2wd 2stroke Trail Boss quad. He bought them to use his quad to plow snow. It worked very well for just a 2wd machine. One day we tried it out in the snowy fields. We were amazed at where the machine...

My truck responded well to doing the EGR and DPF delete also! My fuel economy went up and she will pull just about every hill in top gear if I want. I hear you on the beast thing! Solar panels are well worth installing on an RV! Lots of models have an inverter so you can use a few small 110...

I have a tool for lining up the clutches in Polaris machines...probably won't work for the old TNT though the principles should be the same. Maybe you can use a pocket laser to get it close?

Sounds like a nice plan for your lake lot get away! You may want to make skirts for your new trailer. Are there building laws or rules at your lake lot? Some people make some pretty cool pole sheds for their trailers at some lots. I had an extremely well insulated 5th wheel trailer (built for...

Nice toyhauler! I really like the black graphics also! I have not seen one with those nice graphics packs yet. What year is your new unit? Any cool options? Were you able to get a good price on your new unit because of the time of year? How big a family do you have? I hope that you and your...

Doing better than a few years ago! Maybe you will find another machine for your SBC...Lots of things you could put it into! You bet! Still have some vans for fun! Out of all the machines I have built over the years I have had the most fun building the V8 Astros and Safari vans. No one expects...

Looks like a lot of fun without a lot of cash invested! Good luck with your hobby! Does Safastro still have a V8 Stro? We have used our V8 vans as our toy hauler for many years...the V8 4x4 lifted one I built was the most fun though!

A few years ago my friend's son had one. He broke the track so I gave him an old 121 track and he used the skid out of a newer machine to make it work. He fabbed a tunnel extension from some aluminum. To gain some power he found a single pipe that had a race stinger...so it was really loud but...

I was always religiously checking the crank runout and the compression on my 02 RMK. It still blew up (broken crank pin on PTO side) without warning. It looked exactly like the many pics I have seen of a broken crank pin. I shut it off, took off the drive belt and had to drag it 80+kms back to...

I got a good deal on my Magnaflow kit but I really wanted a Silverline 5" 301 stainless system. They cost more but will look a lot nicer after a few seasons than what I have now. PM me your phone number as I live really close.
