    To build or not to build?

    Ok fellas. I got everything done. Back in the truck. Fired right up and ran great! Sunday afternoon it sat and ran for about 20 Minutes in the shop. Called it a day and went inside. Yesterday I put the bumper and grill all back on blah blah blah. Fire it up to let it warm up for a minute while...

    Im 100% a back of the head guy. Thats why its all coming off. Just popped the metering valve out and there is 0 metal in it and that was supposed to be the issue with this motor. So there’s that lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The tow truck motor with 400k on it. Gunna slap a fluid damper on it. Possibly cp3 conversion and hope for the best Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    To build or not to build?

    So I picked up the new to me LML today. Since my blown up motor has ARP studs in it I want to swap them over to the “new” motor. Is it completely stupid to do them one by one to avoid taking the heads completely off and having them milled and what not. I think I know the answer to this question...

    Yeh I figured that because of the extra pressure. Ever heard of anyone using a regulator that worked? Its got a motor opps tune in it currently and our local tuner guy is awful. You ask for a small tune and he Puts 250hp tune in and blows trucks up. Seen it happen multiple times so thats why...

    To build or not to build?

    I kind of thought it was weird the whole “work hardened thing” never heard of that before but hey Im for sure no expert. The way you put it with the diff thing makes sense. The motor I’m likely going to use has 400,000 tow truck KM on it (250,000 Miles) Its cheap. I think maybe pin the crank...

    The problem is I'm in Canada so $1100 US is 6.6 Million Canadian Dollars lol. Thanks for that info though I didn’t know that you had to use that specific pump to not have to tune after. Might just throw that exergy metering valve in and hope for the best.

    To build or not to build?

    Yeh I think I’m just going to use the tow truck motor. Much cheaper and like said before. Crank could snap in either one. Looked into shimming the oil pump. I live in a cold climate in the winter and apparently it could blow the o ring out of the oil filter if not plugged in over night? Who...

    To build or not to build?

    The motor in the military truck hasn’t been heard running. The guy that has it says he has no reason to think it doesn’t. Says come on over if you get it fired up and you’re happy with how it sounds 5 grand takes it. You think skipping the alt firing cam just because that crank has already...

    Hey guys. Recently snapped the crank in my LML. Going uphill pulling a 15000lb travel trailer (fifth wheel) not beating it at all. 5th locked under 2000rpm. I can get my hands on an LML out of a tow truck with a cp4 failure and 350,000 Kilometres for $1000. OR I can get one with 20,000 KM...
