    NOLA- A Build Story...that goes Diesel

    Time for another update, boy do I have a lot of them to catch up on....the little time I get these days I am is usually spent doing something small to the truck or working on our house and I don't have much time to get things documented. I also need to go back to the start of my thread and put...

    6bt cummins NV4500 1996 LX450 swap

    Thank you, looking forward to following the same process. I have the interior floor and rear quarters done but not the doors or roof. Now that is getting a bit warmer out, this is a nice job to do. Thanks for the detail!

    6bt cummins NV4500 1996 LX450 swap

    Great video, lotta effort to go with those extra videography shots. So you just put sound deadening in between the ribs on the underside of hood? No where else (besides body)? Single layer? Sounds great. I got a 1hd-ft that is pretty noisy and need to quiet it down a bit.

    I recall you seeing a bump in MPG going on a trip over Blueitt pass too if I recall. Did you put in different transfer case gears or overdrive on your transmission? Can't remember

    NOLA- A Build Story...that goes Diesel

    Yeah I saw that on your thread....I will be cutting the snorkel. The PDI airbox has a collar on the intake pipe that is great for clamping the connector hose over, the snorkel doesn't. So I think it will be more secure if I just cut the snorkel. I will post some pictures after this weekend...

    NOLA- A Build Story...that goes Diesel

    Moonlight; funny you should ask, I just read up on your experience with Radius. Mine hasn't been an easy install. I am not too good at body work. While the longitude of the snorkel alignment has been good with Moonlight, the snorkel extends too far inward and runs into the PDI intake/airbox...

    NOLA- A Build Story...that goes Diesel

    All right time to start detailing a bit more of my build! We've covered the transmission rebuild, engine, injector pump, injectors, turbo but not much else. Other drive train updates include a new NPC clutch and flywheel that I bought from HD Automotive in Australia. Has really smooth...

    Builds Pigpen 🐷 an HDJ80 LHD Ute

    I'm installing the Moonlight snorkel as we speak. I got a one page template from then via email if your interested. It's much better than putting together 4 different sheets, less room for error but your also a fabricator while I work in financial services so there you go.

    NOLA- A Build Story...that goes Diesel

    Will do...I haven't seen anyone report this issue before. Maybe they didn't change the filter often enough? It sounds like the filter got saturated and that could condense the oil. The SAE test I attached is pretty thorough and gave me confidence. Nonetheless, I'll monitor it every 5k to see...

    NOLA- A Build Story...that goes Diesel

    Ok, so time to start updating this thread! Its been too long but I think work/family life is settling down enough to get more in the flow with documenting this build. 🤞 Lets start with something simple but pretty important for these diesel motors; Catch cans. The amount of gunk that had...

    NOLA- A Build Story...that goes Diesel

    Spoke with Tor this last week and they use Valvoline 15W 40 or Napa 15W 40. Rumor is that Valvoline makes Napa oil. They will also use Delo in the same weight. I will be using Valvoline Premium for the foreseeable future.

    Not sure, when Torfab did the swap for me they did an oil change of course, I will find out and post it here.

    NOLA- A Build Story...that goes Diesel

    Hello all, Well just when I assumed I would be back in September, work went bananas on me and I've finally caught up. Wanted to start detailing more of the build and establishing some baseline numbers for tracking purposes. I also wanted to highlight the parts I selected for my build, why I...

    Kick Panel and Dead Pedal (foot rest) install

    Kick Panel and Dead Pedal (foot rest) install

    Hey all, I can't believe I am going to ask this dumb question but does any one have any photos on how to install the drivers side kick panel and dead pedal? I found the part where the panel clips in to the firewall with that special clip but I can't tell if the dead pedal goes under the kicker...
