    Differential setup

    Jantz Engineering,I apologize.His channel has a videos that explains exactly where you want your pattern. @bucket,I can see that real pressure wasn’t applied to the marking compound by how faint it is. Someone mentioned thinning it out,and that’s exactly right.I learned this later after...

    Differential setup

    I like it.It needs to have more resistance as you turn and check the pattern. Even with 5 thousandths of backlash,you have to put out.Leather gloves or a rag.

    How much slack to too much slack?

    I don’t have instagram.Or any other social media besides this forum. If you’re talking about backlash,20$ from Harbor Freight will get you tools to measure properly. You need a dial indicator and magnetic base that holds it. There is many videos on yt that shows you exactly how to do this...

    Turn signal issue/ brake light issue

    Well,I think you’re right about a broken line,bad connection. Yes,that’s the only ground on the tail section from factory. I would think it’s most likely from the end of the frame,where it plugs and Ts off to each side.

    SM465 X 2.5 gears

    I think it’s a good idea in theory,but the jump from 1st to 2nd on a SM465 is long.It would take a brute of a motor to take up the slack.Towing would be a sh@t show. The SM465 is a 3 speed + granny.I don’t even use it hunting.So technically I’m saying the jump from 2nd to 3rd

    Engine swap for street and towing

    And now,diesel is maybe not the hottest choice for a upgraded engine or new truck. I guess if you did the bio route on a 12 valve. yes,the carb would work.no electronics is nice,but altitude changes can greatly effect your carb.Fuel injection is becoming somewhat more reasonable in costs.

    Engine swap for street and towing

    Yes sir,it was bad.What was worse is I loved that truck…no DEF. I didn’t look at Ram before I bought mine this year,but I’d have to think they also added a new multi gear trans?I know the Chevy and ram both sport a 31 gallon fuel tank,my range full is over 600 miles,with my 2012 I was lucky to...

    Engine swap for street and towing

    Also I might add that the Duramax’s 20mpg is unloaded.Haven’t towed with it yet.And my best guess on my 84’s fuel mileage towing through mountains was 4-6,maybe.I could actually watch the gauge go down.Probably the biggest hinderance of all,even with 42 gallon reserve tank.

    Engine swap for street and towing

    I towed my 28’ bumper pull this past elk hunt through some mighty steep mountains.Healthy 383,4 speed manual,4.10 gears. That’s a experience.I’m doing it again and again.However,had it not been for the SM465,not really sure if I could of done it,not with no small block.440 foot pounds from 2500...

    Maybe one tank has better grounding
