    Pulling a large trailer and not having a CDL

    I would get the 7k axles for the bigger brakes and tires. I don't see why you would have trouble getting ticketed. I had a TN DOT officer stay beside of me while towing a 20' trailer with the brush painted M1008 that I used to have on a 4 lane. He was looking at the hitch area but since I had...

    Off the shelf th400 Hugh's gm20 or gm4tow torque converter

    I ran the GM20 behind a stock LQ4 in my buggy for a few years and it worked great and transmission was easy to cool. Had a TH400, 3.8 case, and 5.13 gears. Went with a higher stall PTC behind the new engine.

    French Tickler buggy

    The 72" width definitely helps. Looks like it will clear just fine.

    French Tickler buggy

    I see quite a bit of tube length showing in the passenger side of the front 14 bolt. How are you solving the driveshaft to engine clearance issues that the 14 bolt pinion offset causes when used as a passenger drop? Everything looks great BTW.

    6.7 powerstroke. Good or bad????

    I meant that the tilt front end makes it much easier on the F750. I didn't explain it very well.

    6.7 powerstroke. Good or bad????

    Re: Re: 6.7 powerstroke. Good or bad???? Crash ratings would keep that from happening. I replaced the turbo on my F750 with a 6.7 Cummins yesterday and stood between the tire and the frame rail. It is very easy to work on.

    Pulling a large trailer and not having a CDL

    Not sure about Mississippi but a TN Trooper Sargent told me that I could daily drive an 18 wheeler if I wanted without a CDL as long as I was not using it commercially to make money. I got that answer when I asked if I needed a CDL for a F750 with air brakes.

    Powerjoke repair

    I recently pulled a Super 60 axle from a 2008 Superduty plow truck with a bent frame. Not bent as bad as this one though:

    HaHa I have edited it more times than that. I accidentally clicked post instead of preview while trying to get the picture to show.

    My current tow rig is a Chevy and it is my 12th Chevy or GMC product. I have owned two Dodge trucks and one Ford. To me it boils down to: VS

    Elephant spinoff. HP vs Traction vs Weight vs $$

    I still miss my old Samurai. It was stretched to 104" and linked. The 1.6 would deny me where tire speed was needed. It could never climb the last ledge on Mason Jar at Harlan. Everyone would laugh at the sound of the accelerator pedal hitting the stop before the engine revved. It did great on...

    Can we talk about the 1,000 hp elephant in the room?

    That is true. My LQ4 had hydro locked and bent a rod. I didn't trust the crank afterwards. I used the bare block and built the engine with new LS3 heads. Mine is supposed to be 565 and dynoed at 315 at the rear wheels. I can't imagine what 1000hp would feel like. I am having to learn to drive...

    Can we talk about the 1,000 hp elephant in the room?

    Texas Speed told me that a stroker kit would only add about 15 hp with my stage 1 cam and LS3 heads but a much flatter and usable torque curve.

    Clean PSC Reservoir filter

    Sounds like a pressure control valve issue inside the pump if you have the correct belt contact and tension.

    Sold/Expired #27 Jim’s Chassis just completed LS3 loaded w/ all the best parts

    Looks like I will miss the new owner's first ride. I'll bet it will be a "blast". ;D

    Transmission coolers

    Mine was worse crawling. It would not recover very well once the temperature got up even if I was moving faster.

    Transmission coolers

    46,000 BTUH would not keep my TH400 with 10" PTC converter cool. I added 37,000 more and it is fine now. It was much easier to keep the transmission cool when it had a 12" Hughes 2000 stall.

    Need some opinions on tcase gearing

    What kind of situation were you in when the gears let go? High tire speed then sudden traction? Launched it with good traction?

    Pics of your shops/garages/specs

    Watch for mold. When I had my 40x80 with R10 roll insulation and insulated doors built, mold started shortly after. I did not have a problem on my old 40x60 with R3 roll insulation. I added 2 dehumidifiers to eliminate the problem. The new one is much easier to heat though.
