Did the pure diesel power xrta length fuel screw and it is most definitely longer then stock. Stock screw bottomed out no runaway new screw same approx. Number of turns and it tried to runnaway had to pull the kill cable and throw it into gear to kill her. I've got it set two turns back from runnaway gota have it in gear to shut off

Moparbubba

im getting rebulit by a local shop alto red eagle clutches kolene steels and kevlar bands

Respectfully, you didn't pay "billet" price for that flex-plate did you? That's stamped steel all day long.

- Be sure the replacement trans you get is for a diesel and not a gasser. There's a different governor weight in the tail section that your diesel must run with.

Moparbubba

it just said 'billet" on the box i knew it wasnt gona be. but a sfi approved flex plate At $150 i figure its as good as two stock plates welded together and less then the stock 2nd gen from mopar... and yes I know about the govenor weights and such in the trans that a gasser doesnt work thankfully a buddy burned up a another diesel a518 pulling his truck... the low revese band is toast i belive besides i have to reuse my tail shaft neway the new ones from a w250 ole shakeys a d250. should be goin in this week

Moparbubba

Denny t afc delete is here going in saturday ordered my cooler tubz should be here next week. Thinking of a borgeston steering shaft next to fix my slop replaced almost everything but that the box and springs.
And with the new rear man and oil fill tube I'm down to 2 oil leaks the front cover and pan. Still gota get a piston lp set up

Moparbubba

Once I get my piston lp and locker I think ill have a good foundation in ole shakey next step turbo and injectors from what I've read my planed 60/60/16 h1c aint gona cut it so what would yall recommend? And I have been thinking sdx5x14s but is there a better fit for what I'm aiming to do?

Moparbubba

dennyt afc delete and cooler tubz are in


now i got a fuel leak at #4 and #5 injector im getting new used lines, what are the advantages or the bigger non i/c fuel lines? and im lookin at contangous diesel injectors but havent decided between the 5x12 or 5x14s... neone care to steer me in the right direction?

dieselJon

Go 5x14's. Have potential in the future to go more than the 12's.

The Non-IC line I have never heard of being bigger. If so, its negligible.

Get a 62 or 64mm compressor s300 based turbo. Should help you out and then some!

A 62/65/14wg would be a good turbo for the 5x14's. With the auto you only have to spool once so a 16cm exhaust would even work.

How do you like the timing advance spacer? My truck is totaly play and track toy, so I want to pull every little bit of HP I can on the track.

Moparbubba

Timing spacer works great let's me keep the low end grunt and still have it run like the pumps to the head in the top end.
