  1. ok talked with a mechanic that has several of the same trucks. he said to check the turbo clamp, i did, had a worn exhaust pipe and the clamp was loose leaking exhaust, no oil leaks from the turbo. when the parts house open tomorrow this is what i will try. he told me that this issue will throw the same codes and cause loss of power. crossing my fingers thanks for the help i will update tomorrow.

  2. ok I am lost, upgrade from a 1979 rd to a 94 ch613. I have had the ch parked for about 3 weeks in 30-35 below wind chill. she started right up after it was plugged in for a couple of hrs. after about three hrs of running I had a loss of power and the electrical malfunction light came on. cleaned the filters out and my power slowly came back but the light hasnt gone off. I ran the codes on the dash and it came up a 6-3. looked up what that was and all it says is j1708/j1587 link. I have no idea what this is lol any help would be great thanks alot

  4. i have a trl1078 that is currently on its last legs, i would like to upgrade to gain some more top end speed. its behind a 287 maxidyne. my top speed is maybe 55 empty. am happy with the rearends but need to a go a little faster, it also has a 1241 brownie. I use it in the oilfield in north dakota, not a lot of hills but with the brownie should give me enough to pull the heavey loads. if anyone is in north dakota for long they would appreciate me going a little faster need some help, was just reading on some other posts, would a t2050 be a good option?
