Yes, if you can get an 18.5 for doorstop prices it would be better than a 21. I thought all your trucks have the 18.5 though?

So which trucks had the 21's on? My truck is a '92 Automatic, when I pulled the factory turbo off my truck to run the HX it read 18.5 cm on the back of the exhaust housing.

Fury, your p/u must be a 3spd/non-od, right? The 91.5 through 92.5 had the 21 housing, like mine. I've acquired an 18cm housing and just need to get it put on.

Nope, A518 slush-box. Should maybe check out the build date? Would that have anything to do with it?
