    If you do install a Jake (?) don't be afraid to set the lash about 20 or 30 thousands more than what's it's supposed to be. You can sneak a little more retarding power out of it. IDK ?? if the truck has a low axle ratio (like your's) it might not be a total waste of time. They're better than nothing, but not much (lol)

    I just got a new laptop. Somehow your pictures went to a even higher lever of WOW thanks for posting Project is coming out fantastic from the looks of it.
  3. Mark T
    That's my point, they run indefinitely if taken care of and little stuff doesn't snowball. But without being familiar with the trucks history ?

    Nevermind the miles, how many hours are on it ? Old truck up over 20000 hours ? If nothing was ever done to it, it's at the point anything could happen....and that includes rub'n like a Swiss watch a while longer. Personally, I don't think there's a black or white answer to your question.

    Wow. maybe some chrome naked ladies and script that says " haul'n ass " those items would go along well with the bulldog with lighted eyes fro JC Whitney (lol)........and of coarse a No Lot Lizards sticker

    Don't both locations have a diagram folded up and in a plastic thing like a shipping label stuck on them ?
  7. Mark T
    that's what I said (lol) or was trying to say

    Ha.... if it was back when I had the RW in my avitar I'd be jump'n on swap'n with you

    I believe you'll want a 12.25 X 22.5 rim. But as far as what offset will end up working ?? That's a little more specific to the truck.
  10. Mark T
    Don't forget you're going to need the 20" if you plan on using wide base steering tires (425s) That picture has 22" and 20" in it . You'll need these guys

    The ratio is stamped on the pinion if you can see it . There's two numbers, the lower one you divide in the higher one.... it's the number of teeth on the ring and pinion.
  12. Mark T
    Probably has numbers on the pinion. If it's not covered in dirty grease (which will come off easily) you'll see two numbers on it that'll suddenly make a lot of sense to divide 😉

    I bet someone had green antifreeze in that engine
  14. Mark T
    Glad to hear it's better. Now to find out what caused it 🤔

    Roid #$&@ phone not rid
  16. Mark T
    Yeah.... careful not to get rid rage 😂 is it at least getting better ?

    Didn't an outfit by the name of Transmission Technologies (TTC) take that part of Spicer ? or is that Tremec ?

    I'm like'n the shed. Those pills are a steroid. Once you start the prescription you can't stop. ( like can't just say screw it after a day ) they have to be all taken in the order they said
  19. Mark T
    That's a transmission more for a smaller truck, like maybe a ten wheeler with a DT466 or something like that.
  20. Mark T
    The "8" series is only rated to handle @ 800 lb/ft of torque from an engine. Likely only has a inch and three quarters input shaft (?) I don't think it's a good choice for the truck you want to use it in.
  21. Mark T
    That is correct. I just assumed it was a larger series. An 89 is I small transmission. Not physically small, just not something you'd find in trucks that are bigger.
  22. Mark T
    RTO or RTX..... it's an overdrive. Personally, 4.42s 24.5s and an 8LL is a fairly well working arrangement in my opinion. Same thing with 4.17s will go faster though.
  23. Mark T
    An 8LL is an overdrive.
  24. Mark T
    Yikes, I think you should go and find out what's going on. Isn't it strange how when we feel the slightest thing needs attention on a truck we're all over it......ourselves ???? not so much

    I took a picture , then this guy went by and photo bombed my side view
