    Well that's good to know. I'll have to make sure it's a full floater.

    Ok. I'll give it a shot. Are full floating stronger?

    So how much HP and TQ can a stock 14 bolt corporate handle? I'm planning on a 600 HP 1,000 TQ Cummins.

    How do you tell the difference?

    Identifying rear axles

    Would a 14 bolt on a K30 be a Dana 60? I want to identify what I have so I can build it up to handle about 600 HP and 1,000 TQ diesel. It's a single rear wheel, but I'm toying with the idea of a dually, I just prefer the look of the single rear wheel. I plan on making this truck into a hauler...

    Yeah I'm leaning towards the 12 valve for reliability and fuel mileage. I love the 454 but it just loves gas too much.

    5.9l Cummins swap into a lucky Square Body

    That might be a way to go then with the common rail. I know that you have to add an extra fuel pump and an external oil filter to the engine so that it doesn't crap out on you. My origional idea was have a Cummins common rail engine, one of the 600 series, and attach it to an Allison...

    5.9l Cummins swap into a lucky Square Body

    Does that mean that the 24 valve weighs about the same? I'm wanting to put a Cummins in my truck for fuel efficiency, but I'm trying to decide whether I want a 12 valve or a 24. I like the idea of having a chip to program the engine but I also really like the reliability of the 12. Does...

    Expedition vehicle

    Yeah, that's what I'm looking to do with mine. Although I didn't start with a CUCV I work in a place with a lot of them around. We have a bone yard so maybe the motorpool sergeant won't mind getting rid of some stuff. I want something to just go away and stay for a week or more. I could only...

    I guess you do have a point. Now that I think about it 4 wheel drive should be able to take you anywhere you really want to go.

    Expedition vehicle

    So has anyone turned their square into an expedition vehicle? I was browsing the web and watching top gear (the british version) and got an idea from their Christmas special were they did a wise man journey from Iraq to Israel. Rather than doing a restoration I was thinking a expeditionary...

    Greetings from Maine

    Welcome to the forum. Nice rides. That Impala is awesome. That investment sounds a lot like those Hondas kids build today and expect to make a fortune when they sell it. Namely my roommate.

    Death wobble

    Ok thanks crazy. It's a stock setup, I haven't had the extra money to lift it. But I'll tear it apart and take a look. I'm just waiting on a paycheck so I can do more than observe. Thanks for the help though.

    Death wobble

    Ok cool, thanks for the info guys. I'll look it over and see what I can do to fix it over the Christmas break. Hopefully it stays cheap, because my school budget sucks if things break.

    Death wobble

    I was driving my truck Friday on a highway and it started giving me a death wobble. The front end went all squirly and my sphcinter muscle got a workout. When I pulled over I shook the front end down but couldn't find anything loose. Could it be the wheel bearings?

    Tow ratings?

    Alright, sounds like sound judgement is the best way to go. Thanks guys.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I had a coolant leak I thought it was coming out of the thermostat housing gasket, so I replaced the gasket, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses. Ran it the next day and realized it was coming out of that damn hose going from the top of the water pump to the intake manifold. That thing...

    Tow ratings?

    I have an 86 K30 with a single rear wheel. I want to lift it 3" with an ORD kit and put on 33's. What would I expect my tow ratings to be? I have been looking around a lot and can't find what these trucks were rated to tow. I know from my VIN that it's rated between 9001 and 10,000 GVWR, but...

    Which T-case is this one?

    Sweet. Thanks guys. I figured I would get a second opinion to make sure.
  22. Rollin_Thunder

    Which T-case is this one?

    I can't tell which one this T-case is. I have a 86 1 ton with a 454 and a TH400. The local shop I go to says its a NP205 but I want to make sure. It's made of cast iron, has a PTO plate on the driver side, and the output shaft to the front on the passenger side.

    Looking for a long bed

    Hey all, I'm looking for a long bed for my 86 K30 Custom Deluxe. I want to find a year and model correct for it. If anyone around me has one let me know. I want a rust free (or mostly) fleetside. Also what lets you know what tailgate went with what model? I have seen multiple different...

    "Hey" from Ohio!

    Welcome. Sounds good in theory, have you considered prepping it and then doing a type of rhino lining on the underbody? I'm restoring a 68 C10 and that's what's going underneath to prevent rust.

    Welcome. Nice find with the 85, there is just something about a 1 ton that grabs my attention. So what are you planning on doing with both your trucks?
