Quote: Hey Keith, seeing how I know this guy, you mind if I invite him to our forums? I could see this as being another bad experience, does anybody remember the guy from "Banks". /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/surprise.gif No matter what we said or did he still was a wiener.

Gotcha thanks forgot about that....CRS syndrome

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif Check Valves??? The only thing between the lines and the head are the fittings, unless I'm wrong I thought the check valve was at the Transfer/Lift pump on the frame rail.

I just sent a request to them for price and avail on inj's,gaskets,and harnesses. We'll see how long and how much they quote. Should be interesting...

I have a turbo that I can't seem to identify, A Garrett off of either a Ford or Navistar application. This guy brings it in to rebuild and I don't have any info on this one. The tag has both #'s on it. 1856264X91 and the Garrett # 743250-8. Anybody have any ideas as to what this fits or maybe a different Navistar #??? It is a VNT and looks like a 6.0 but has a smaller turbine wheel. It doesn't match up with anything in the Powerstroke Diesel Reference manual.

Maybe this guy could be a guest on the "Diesel Radio" http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/forums/ubb...=true#Post18316

David I found one on ebay, it looks like the one your looking for. You better hurry though, there is only 14 hrs left. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-CHROM...sQ5fAccessories

I to applaud the valiant effort you made. After I spoke with you the other day I realized how tough it really is up there in Jim's neighborhood. I'm glad your coming back I think Shlep has been lost without you. You two make a pretty good team. Sucks that your going to drive thru Canada to get back, it would have been nice if you could have come thru on the U.S. side, like you said it's about 800KM further a drive. Not to mention we could have gotten together and swilled a few beers, Labatt of course. Talk to you soon and have a safe drive back.

Quote: The only time I can envision Jum sitting in a lawn chair he has a tall iced glass of Coke and rye in his hand. No I think you have that wrong Keith, It's Rye and Coke and I believe his mix ratio is 3 parts Rye and a splash of Coke and don't forget 2 cubes of ice. He doesn't need more ice than that up there by the North Pole. BRRRRRR /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

Very nice Joey, I thought that was a picture after Bruce flunked you out of one of his classes. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Alliant Power has them. In other words I have them in stock. PM me when you need them I'll get you guys a great price and save the customer from having to buy a set of injectors.

Just messing around this morning I came across these. I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but they say it has up to 1.8 of adjustability. http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005-caster-camber-plates.html

And with hearing that my friends is a good reason why the Big three are sucking big ass here in North America. The Big three are to blame for letting it get this bad with the ( As Jim says ) onions basically being in charge of the automotive operations here in North America. I don't believe in farming out to these other countries, but until there is major reform here it won't get any better. The big three are in business to make money if the "onions" are bleeding them dry what do you think they are going to do. I believe that Henry is turning over in his grave right now. Here's a good question??? Why do you think Ford built this plant in Brazil and not here??? Anybody??? That's right $$$$ If they can't make it here then they are going to build them somewhere else and bring these Foreign built vehicles here to compete with the Hondas,Toyotas,Etc, Etc. of the world. Guess what boys the Foreign Manufacturers have been doing it for a very long time and are seeing the Big three going down in flames and eating more and more sales that we should be seeing from our own manufacturers. Until Corporate America gets there heads out of their asses, we are all the ones to suffer. Another question... Why is it that we can now get outrageous discounts on new vehicles now, what about 3-4 even 10 years ago??? They are scrambling to stop the bleeding but won't do anything about the root cause. I believe in a man/woman making a fair wage for a honest day's work, But from what I have read here and what I've read and heard from the media and news I want to PUKE, just like Aaron did. Corporate Fat Cat's have to be accountable for their lack of action and greed. As I'm writing this I'm looking at a 09 F150 advertisement next to Keiths new logo, it brags about a bigger interior and flat load floor. So tell me who will be able to afford it??? The guy's working at a Foreign plant because they have a lower wage rate but will be employed for years to come because they are happy to be employed and recieve a honest wage, not because the "onions" are pushing unreasonable contracts that everyone knows is wrong but won't say or do anything about it. This kind of thing reminds me of a Teamsters company here local. PTS(E&L Transport)'s drivers went on strike because PTS asked for a wage reduction, what did PTS do while they were on strike...They closed the doors and went out of business, how many people will this have to happen to to realize that unless we get a grip on this greed we are all going to lose. How many plants are we going to lose to the Brazil's in the world to greed, how far will we sink before we wake up. Alright my rant is over, I need another beer... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

Quote: Can someone get a price and availability on PM-5? Hey Bruce my local FAD doesn't have it, but is supposedly still available. It only comes in case qty of 12. My cost is $4.24 a bottle, I'm sure dealer pricing is better.
