    New toy

    😳. I can’t handle that, still can’t accept that my kids are out of the baby stage. God do I miss having toddlers too. These engines are supercharged inline 6s. These are the M version too, so more pedestrian than the R models. Also more warranty too though haha.

    New toy

    This boat feels like it’s on ball bearings lol. Never been in one that’s so “loose” in the water. Just effortlessly glides, esp with like a 1 foot chop. I think it’ll go 81mph with 93 octane and the right water surface conditions.

    New toy

    I bought it from Grander marine in Orange Beach AL. It was the only new 38TE for sale in the southeast. Literally lucked out on it. The person that ordered it couldn’t get financing and we were next in line.

    Best PreBuilt Transmission Brands

    Never had a problem with suncoast. Actually I ran an off the shelf unit (basic build) at over 1000WHP for quite a while before finally losing the c1s. Got at least 30 4x4 launches and over 100 wot pulls. As for converters, the 7 series is great, 1078 is a vgt dream converter, couples hard but...

    New toy

    Well I guess it’s been a while with out a boat, but long story short, hurricane Sally totaled our old fishing boat 2 years ago. Trying to secure a boat became quite difficult with covid and all this BS, but we finally found one in stock and how we liked it. Picked up a 38’ Fountain TE with...

    Gear Selector Indicator Not Showing Up With New NSBU Switch

    Go ahead and inspect the shifter for excess wear and a stretched shift cable too. Had the same problem on my 2001 truck (minus the service brake message) couldn’t get nsbu properly adjusted till I installed a new shift cable. D was N and I would have to pull down to 3 for the truck to be in D...

    700r4 converter spacing

    Hey guys, I know I know not an Allison, but was wondering about this trans. I installed a circle D 245mm converter in my old man’s c4 vette. It had about 0.075” gap between the converter face and flywheel, with the converter pushed back as far as it will go. Is that acceptable or to little of...

    How did you get into your career?

    Mechanical engineering. Made the mistake of getting good at programming 5 axis CNC equipment. Done a lot of defense jobs and NASA work. Then the shop got a contract with Boeing. I really feel over whelmed at work, nobody available to help or replace me, so I’m retiring when I turn 50, gonna try...

    I'm going to have to retire.

    Sorry to hear about the health issues for you and your wife Mike! I will keep y’all in my thoughts and prayers my friend. I still remember building my lb7 trans 12years ago with your help. Thanks for everything you have helped me and this community with over the years. Now kick these problems...

    Any Skid steer guys in here? CAT 246.

    You’ll have to grind the nitriding off. If you don’t it will lead to high porosity. I would go with the other crank over weld repairing. welding hardened steel is very tricky, I wouldn’t do it.

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    Hardly real science when politics is involved. The science we are seeing is contaminated by political and personal truths.

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    I’m sorry, but that’s not an answer to my question. Hoping a vaccine works is not a plan or solution. So wear masks forever is what you are saying.

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    So Kid, what’s the end game? Say we wear mask for 6 months and crush the numbers, then everyone stops wearing masks and the virus “rebounds” numbers come back up, masks again? Or? What’s the endgame here? Btw, the virus is here forever, it’s not leaving, not going away, so are we just wearing...
