      It's possible, those pieces of flex pipe are kind of crappy and when they get a little rusty will break if you look at them wrong. He may have looked under it and it broke after.

    That truck was owned by Ca Car Cover, they had a guy named "Davey Allison" working for them as their truck driver. He would of taken that truck to the races, SEMA etc. Nascar Davey died in 1993.

    The number one best thing you can do for a diesel - any diesel - is a good transfer pump. Look into getting a FASS unit. A little spendy, but totally worth it. It'll eliminate the vast majority of start-ability / bad running problems. You don't know me from anyone, so if you want to check with someone you know, check with Steve Darnell. I think he's put them on all of his rigs.

    • @otm646
      @otm646 3 года назад +3

      FASS did an excellent job at marketing and selling people a product they don't need. There is nothing wrong with the factory fuel system in this truck, or any of the trucks they make systems for.
      You don't need a $600 in line pump, there are plenty of less expensive OE style solutions.
      With a highly modified engine that's a different story but that's not where most of those pumps are installed.

      Guys, your wife is not supposed to be able to tell you how to live your life and dominate you. Vehicles are Finnegan's business and his life so when his wife doesn't control what vehicles he purchases that's not called being "very understanding and forgiving" that's called being supportive and non-manipulative. Jesus I feel bad for all you suckers who think it's normal for your wife to run YOUR business and hobbies. My wife is priority number 4 in my life, after 1) ME and 2) MY CAREER because the relationship breaks down if those two things aren't taken care of first.

Put the pivot underneath the rear of the cab and eliminate the factory cabmounts or just leave them intentionally really loose even. Install a leveling valve and plumb it into the air supply for the brakes. Probably easier said than done, and still air seats would make a bigger better impact on ride quality.

Truck class is based on GVRW and although this is large truck physically its GVRW is too low to be classified as a Class 8. These trucks could even be spec as a tandem axle which would raise the gvrw but not enough to classify as a class 8.

    As a truck driver and part time self thought truck mech, I can tell you that truck will last longer then almost anything they made since 2007 and newer. It has no def and no regen or egr of any kind on that motor.
    It has full 12k front axel and looks like 23k rear axle with probably a locker.
    Service that engine, rear end, front axle kingpins, and transmission with fresh oil and filters and it will last you for many many years to come.
    That is a seriously cool find.

    That transmission fill shot reminded me that I did the same on my medium truck and it wasn't on a perfectly level surface. I was climbing the hill on I-8 out of San Diego to start the cross country trip, engine screaming up the hill at 30 mph and the transmission started to puke fluid onto the exhaust. Thought something was seriously wrong and had a mini heart attack in the process. Realized I overfilled the trans. Stopped smoking after about 10-15 miles of that. Made it the rest of the way no problem except needed to change the fuel filter a couple times (newer fuels knocked all the varnish from the old fuel into the filter). The old IDI was dog slow, but she didn't let us down.
