    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I wish those bad boys were cheaper, and I charged you my cost! I love ARP but god damn are they expensive for 625s.

    400,000 Miles After 17 Years – Your long term reviews?

    I agree with just about everyone, if you're happy I'd leave the truck alone. As others have said, I would have also put a new CP3 in it at the time of doing HGs simply because you have a TON of miles. As such, that OEM CP3 is the largest "unknown" when it will fail. As others have said, an...

    LML Head Gasket

    This is great advice! Also, when doing the HG job, it never hurts to do a water pump/thermostats and glow plugs.

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I've always used the steel OEM type from Mahle or GM. My only experiences with the graphite compression gaskets is they're a pain to deal with. I spray all my metal gaskets (think valve covers, exhaust manifold, up-pipe, coolant crossover, head gasket etc) with Permatex copper spray gasket...

    Your kit came from me and Goerend, you should have Torrington bearings. They’re in their own bag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    C4 stack clearance

    You will end the C4 pack on a friction touching the top plate. The extra steel is for adjusting clearance. If it still is too tight let me know and I can send you a few more steels to get your clearance correct. It will take 6 steels and 6 frictions. You will start with a steel against the...

    C4 stack clearance

    You've already figured out the C1 as 2 frictions stuck together, that's very common in packaging. As for your C4, there is only one snap ring groove so I am a bit perplexed by what you're trying to say. If your C4 do not fit, measure your steel thickness and I'd be happy to send you additional...

    300k on transmission fluid

    OEM unit: Dex 3 or Dex 6 (based on year/OEM fill) or a TES-295 rated fluid (Transynd, AmsOil Torque Drive etc). I tend to see more pliable seals out of the 5spd units, I personally believe it has something to do with the Dex 6 fluid composition over time. Built unit: Cheapest Dex 3 you can...

    300k on transmission fluid

    I 2nd changing the fluid. Leaving trans fluid alone that long is not wise in my opinion and something 99% or shops will also agree with. Doing a fluid/filter change with proper fluid/filters (OEM filters only) is of nearly no risk in my opinion.

    McRats Wendy is up for sale...

    I'm honestly shocked he didn't reach out after the seller said "Yeah man, I've got a plaque for the truck with magazine articles on it". Either way, lets hope someone here wins it so it doesn't become bastardized. I know if I won it I'd just drive it or likely sell it to a forum member. I've...

    It's not a scam in any way. All of the give away stuff that happens with Cleetus/his friends or "crew" are all above board. They use a third party legal entity to vet the winner for eligibility etc before announcing. If your worry is "I won't get it if I win", you can rest easily.
