Morning midlanders!

Wichita.

Came across a Dolmar 420 for $130 today. Looks good, I didnt fire it up though. I don't know anything about this saw and what a good price would be?

Run back and grab it. That's a real good price. I just paid $200 shipped for the one I bought.

I have crap I need to do today, but Lord I just feel like laying down and taking a nap... I might be channeling Carl, I don't know. Kids have B-Ball games in a hour though so it may be an early bed time instead and then actually get something done tomorrow. I am going to have to take the Hustler in though as I think it needs a new carb, but I don't want to dick with it ad Hustler sure didn't make it very easy to get to it... The next rider will either be a Grasshopper, Walker or a Deere as front deck cut far better in the conditions I'm in and having easier access to the engine for maintenance is always a plus...

The 5.9 and 6.7 are essentially the same engine aside from emission with the 6.7. With the 5.9 u get a 4spd auto trans and a 6spd auto with the 6.7. Plus the 6.7 has exhaust braking. Both can have head gasket problems head studs are the fix. Baby the have ball joint problems. If you go 6.7 definately delete the emissions. I'm gettn 17-22mpg in my 08. With a touch over 500hp. Both great trucks though.

Longer stroke Siamese bore on the 6.7. For a work truck pulling loads the 6.7 with the better torque and exhaust brake is the winner. I've had 12 5.9 and only 1 6.7. I have kept it 6 years so far.

I'll stick with my 6.6 with the Allison

I hated the one I had. Of course it was the first auto I ever owned.

We have an 02 5.9 with a 6spd manual 3.55 gears with about 8-900 hp and I believe my 08 6.7 auto with 3.73 gears will pull about the same amount just as easily. And my 6.7 runs way cooler egts than any 5.9 I've run.

I can see that. Torque curve is better on the 6.7. 02 still a VP?

Yes but a full built dragon flow race prepped pump along with all the other associated goodies!

Have you got a pop off put on it to stop the bark yet?

Nice. I always liked the VP pump but a p7100 is much easier to get fuel from

No we went with way heavier valve springs when we did the head studs and that seems to have fixed the problem. So much back pressure when you would lift under boost it would push the valves open. It does have a pacbrake on it now though!

Cool. It scared me a little to drive it before. It would sure get up and move though!
How heavy are the new springs?

 

[moparnut88]

They are 110# over stock, Hamilton springs with their titanium locks and retainers. Nice springs. Gonna try to put one of their cams n this 4BT I'm tinkering on.

I passed on a makita 520 I believe at a swap meet this morning. Guy said it run. Didn't feel like really good compression he was asking $90. Didn't know anything about them.

The 07 I had those wouldn't hold. It helped but they still fluttered. Just a single 64/71

 

[Hedgerow]

I just got a ford and drive it...

Honestly have no idea how many pounds the valve springs hold back.

Lol...

 

[Workshop]

Honestly, the only thing I know about Diesels is this. They don't run on gasoline.

 

[moparnut88]

I haven't had to get that deep into my 6.7 yet. 190k hard miles b4 I finished off the trans going thru it now then to the head gasket. Might look into a cam and springs while I'm n there.
