    that is the max safe RPM of these! The RPM is key to the braking power! The lower the rpm the retarding power diminishes! speed is horse power its the same at both ends of the spectrum! You risk valve float above this!

    Go with your line theroy and see how it goes !

    Give it a try definitely worth replacing them ! The pump is Ambac worth keeping an ear on too the over run clutch can be an issue! Snap the throttle and listen for it jumping to governed rpm if it travels beyond the governed by more than 50 you may need to have the drive hub serviced!

    yup! here's your wiring harness boys have fun! eeny meany miny moe! spin the wheel of guess which plug ! Gone are the days of politeness ! having a tag for each wire! Joey got me all fired up and Its early! 😡

    Sorry I couldn’t be more encouraging! Take it slow and steady and pay attention pictures pictures!

    Shot in the dark injector cups!

    How long can you afford to be down! Take lots of pictures if you do it yourself! It’s an asshole job and that’s why it’s twelve hours! There is very little that isn’t an asshole job on these new units! A simple 5 minute belt change takes an hour! They are made intentionally hard to discourage people in my opinion!And to pissoff mechanics trying to do there jobs!

    I can take a pic and upload it do so please! I’m not a numbers guy! In an Ambac Pump there is an over speed clutch that can start slipping! And this can lead to a run away!

    Vents are a point of neglect! When a guy is servicing (Checking diff trans levels) it should be part of his ritual to check em! unfortunately Very few do !

    the wiring is shit on these ! It being soaked in oil and heat adds to its shittyness! Also look for oil push at engine ecu plug The sump sensor is also chronic ! The base engine is good aside from cups ! the bolt on stuff is debatable

    can you identify the fuel pump for us! Robert bosch or ABAC?
  13. fjh
    this maybe a short or damaged wire to injector harness? Yes It can be also caused by injector cups and pin connections ! The only way to find out is too ! pull the valve cover and check !

    an 18 is likely more available And still a descent trans!

    my self I would try to replace the 4 bottom corner ones! Just because! of the experience's!
  16. fjh
    re use! Same as the e9 these tended to break on the bottom outside corners! We would mark these on removal and replace or use inner on the the outer! If I remember right they are fine thread! My opinion!
  17. fjh
    For sure!

    You would need a donor truck for wiring and ecus ect!

    This was a fairly common issue with the 865/66 Back in the day ! Head gaskets and broken head bolts also!
  20. fjh
    I would get a boost gauge! That said! Another question! At what Rpm does it pull best at in the other gears? A 427 has a flatter wider torque than other power options and that my have been the mind set on the trans option! My self regardless of ledged power out put I would always chose more gears if I was ordering a truck ! I know this doesn't answer your question But its just my two bits worth! The lower gearing may also be key also ! Best you ban do watch what you have if your not trailing smoke and the pyro is happy drive it!
  21. fjh
    yup
  22. fjh
    3/4 coarse I believe!
  23. fjh
    PAI has oversized seats!
  24. fjh
    Ya did good not throwing up your hands and being suspicious of cut wires! And it does make some sense!
  25. fjh
    Yup
