GLTHFJ60

Oh you mean this? Straight as it came from the factory.

I was about to reply "cheap insurance" but then I remembered how much that felt like for those parts 5 years ago, much less 10.

I've ordered the upgraded gasket and ARP Supra studs :) Approximately $270 for both.

If it’s boosted, why not convert to arp studs. Can reuse them over and over again without concern and are also stronger.

EDIT: This only applies to standard headbolts, not TTY (torque to yield) style head bolts. 1FZs and my old cummins engines do not have TTY head bolts, but my silly ford 6.0 does, lol. In technical terms, the head bolts are good to reuse as long...

Sexy 60s

Holy flashback. Good to see you're still around!

You can get a stand alone from painless, but only for the early commonrail (03-04.5). We are building 06 motors, and will be modifying those painless harnesses to work with the 06 ecu’s. We wanted the late model motors so we can use EFI live to...

First time actually doing body, but tried to educate myself by watching YouTube. Probably a yr or so back I plugged the backing of the holes on the finders. Now sanded them with 80 grit and laid some fiberglass puddy. I think pretty good for...

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I thought you can do the 80 TRE pitman arm to axle rod without highsteer (flat/mid) arms?

He doesn't have hi-steer. Don't need keyed arms for 33" tires either, but it is a good option for future proofing.

Did you buy the standalone harness or make it? I'd love a link, want to stick one of these in my F550 one day (lol)

Thegadgetguy snagged this one of my 60... otherwise I didn't get any photos

Yes full computer control on the common rail. We have standalone harnesses that we will be using.

Full electronic injection on the commonrail right? Has to be. Will be interesting to see how you set up the wiring.

So I have been pretty quiet here for sometime now, but it’s now officially time to bring this thread back to life with Cummins swap 2.0 I decided about a year ago to not put the 6BT back in this 80, but rather to get my hands on a Commonrail 5.9...

The timing was off then.

I have a cometic in moonshine right now. It works good.

When you let me drive your truck at a monthly meeting I remember saying I was surprised how lean it was during pulls. I'm not up on gas engine super/turbocharging but it seemed super lean to me. Idk if it was lean enough to pop, but lean does...

Nope. Factory pulley but as @fourtrax pointed out, I was not monitoring AFR. I read numerous posts of folks with SC and no AFR gauge. @White Sheep did have an AFR gauge in his Cruiser.

Have you pulled your spark plugs #5/#6. any signs of pre-detonation or heat damage? I used a Mr T. head gasket, i did have the enricher module and extra injector setup on dipity to keep the AFR around 12 under boost (keep it a little...

Hate to read this Jon….. On the bright side better to lose an engine than a truck ;) Not sure whats at play. Put a 154k on mine with just a OE gasket at time of blower install at 179k on mine and didn't really see a difference from boosted to...

Dear journal. . .why can't things be easy with the LC? 🤔😅 Little more tinkering this afternoon. Hopefully fixed the power steering lines but probably not. Also noticed I had a little coolant leak at the steam port on the throttle body. Tighten...
