Anyone know if oil pressure has anything to do with a Detroit series 60 starting ? I had a starting ( long crank ) problem after sitting for 2 or more days that seems to have fixed itself since a oil change ( old filters came off only 1/2-1/4 full ?? ) other than that it ran perfect...

94 wia volvo /detroit 60 2 speed sensors on the tail of the trans , one for cruise and ddec the other for speedo ! speedo wire was flashed with 12v + while they installed the new gps ! now speedo won't work but speed sensor is ok everything else works fine does anyone know this system ...

Stretching a frame is easy ! Getting the drive line correct , setting the Preload , and having it all come out perfect, vibration & NOISE free (AT ALL SPEEDS ) is always the challenge ! rarely do I find one done correctly

50150race trailers wildside Cobra These companies all build exactly what you have described! Garage stackers present different challenges than more normal conversions It is important to have the proper lift gate on this unit and these companies are good at that I have been in all of the...

Its hard to believe that know one complains about this issue ! I was told the very same thing , but I believe I complained enough for everyone ! Its stupid , & almost all of the low end camper people caught on 10 years ago when they started to raise the tails of their rigs quite a bit and...

I race with a guy that has a cheapy powerhouse and he is constantly making apologies for the lack of quality ! He keeps telling me "but It was cheap and I could afford it " Do yourself a favor and call Randy Butler @ 920-386-4633 I think he can help ! or email him at...

Vavoppa , the box is new already along with each and every component from the steering wheel to the tires , (and yes I mean everything !) except the actual I beam ! My level of experience ?? not enough to cure this problem yet, but either can TRW ! any input is valued ! thank you t

Steer tires Sumitomo > 10 kmi perfectly round ( I own a tire lathe) and perfectly balanced 105psi Just had king pins done , this makes the whole front NEW , everything ! I liked it better with the old king pins ! I think they put some leed in the RF and took .8 degrees caster out...

Gary, I am not sure what I am getting at either ! I am just fighting a steering issue and trying to go back to basics to see if I have missed anything ! thanks t

Too much caster in a HDT conversion will make the steering feel >/?????

Most retailers of this type start off with 20% ( national average ) of course this is off of true list price , not a trumped up list ! we work off of a 5% to 8% gross profit Hold backs and early payment discounts are washed by insurance @(3%) and floor plan @ (variable %) The best...

Looks like a 4 cyl kubota perhaps a model 2203 @43-56hp ! Its a big unit for a truck twice the size of my 4cyl 12kw powertec (at least by the scale of the pics) dont know about kw t

A buddy of mine is building a toter with a front drive axle , He is using a marmon harrington (hope I spelled it ) conversion out of an old town truck! I drove the truck , Lots of gear noise even in 2wd Its gonna be nice at the close races on those muddy days when the trailer is sunk in...

warpath , I think my main problem is I would like to build a truck my wife can drive ! I am probably a little too sensitive when it comes to handeling but I hate to leave anything on the table and I like to make things as good as they can be ! I am thinking about taking some arch out of...

Marc , this is a design issue and has nothing to do with worn parts or repairs needed ! This exists on new volvo trucks(some mods) right off the production line ! I would like to know if PETE or KW have the same ?

Geof, I am not talking about "death wobble" that is way different and can be pretty violent ! I am talking about a very slow oscillation in the the steering wheel 30-90 degrees each side of center that occurs in trucks that are brand new or have All new parts, tires and wheels ! Its...

The problem Volvo told me about was oscillation in the steering wheel after or during a bump at speed 50-75mph They said the driver must then slow to under 40 mph to get the wheel to stop oscillating ! Day cabs were worse than sleepers for some reason ! I Just made an offer on a t-600...

warpath , I always assumed that the starting out tight and looseing up in an hour or 2 was the shocks and tires warming up ! I am opposite of you in that I love the tightness and could live with out the loose. I spoke with Volvo today about bump steer and it seemed like they were picking...

Medent, Its the oscillation in the steering that bothers me most ! I think it is from bump steer from the positive arch in the front springs changing the dimension from the pitman arm to the spindle arm as the suspension works up and down and especially side to side !/? Of course with the...

Opinions as to which truck is the best to use for a conversion project ? I have a Volvo now , but the grass is always greener and I am eying a t2000 but would like to get some input from others I don't care for the Freightliner much but I am told it is the best for converting cause...

The insurnce don't seem possible??? at least from NY??

No nerve struck here Gary ! But I would like to here your conversion ideas (if similar to this unit) I am going to do another Unit and I would love input as I am new at this game ! The problem I am starting to realize Is that these things take so much time that the finished product...

Gary, the money is the easy part ! arround 100k$ anyone will lend you that without a blink ! But try to get someone to lend you 2 years !!?? Thats the real cost ! Now someone is trying to purchase it from me !! I would love to get opinions as to real value $$ before I make...
