Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Let's see...

Clutch at 130k
Bad fan clutch that I didn't catch took out my radiator
Burnout while towing split my trans mount and took out my radiator and fractured the 5th gear housing(both of these i consider flukes)
Heater core at 160k
Gone through 3 wheel bearings
One set of ball joints lasted me 80k
Rear driveshaft ujoints
I got 50k out of my last clutch master setup.
Cam sensor

I haven't touched any of the accesories, brake lines, motor mounts, steering linkage, tcase shit, etc. I dont count batteries, tires, brakes, or exhaust. And that "lame injection pump" has over 90k on it with absolutely no issues and I've driven it home on 0 fuel pressure from the lift pump and ran it out of fuel twice.

I did upgrade the track bar, steering box brace, and add a FASS lift pump.

I bought it at 86k and I'm now at 173k. Truck has been damn good to me for how much I drive and abuse it.

Yup I checked the valve lash at 150k due to everyone saying "OMG YOU HAVE TO"

Good thing I just checked it and didn't adjust anything. Every valve was dead on :laugh:

Things are falling into place for me to build a toter home. That may be my new tow rig, and its a big enough truck that it will handle a good sized trailer.

x2

mine were fine at 178k when I changed valve springs and valve cover gaskets. I think only one was a couple thousands loose so I tightened it just to say I did something.

Yeah I'd love to turn mine up, but its hard to justify the money.

jesus, you've had the worst luck with radiators being wrecked by everything else.

I really don't want to **** with whatever I get. A full set of gauges would be nice, and maybe an exhaust if/when it NEEDS it, and a nice set of BFG's when it needs tires. Besides that I just want something nice to drive.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i stumbled upon some links when reading on 6.0 lq9 stuff.


word on the street is they can take up to 8 psi of boost on stock internals.

**** me


the 5.3's run close to 600 rwhp boosted reliably


of course this is all internet speak and they are just numbers.

 

[MoparManiac]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I bet a 4.0 could handle 8 lbs of boost.

What's special about that.

I've seen people shoot nerf ball out of their butts online, does that give you any ideas?

My shits already got that shit, I trade you it for a set of new 42" rockers

8psi with stock internals sounds wicked low

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Reliably. Ive read some higher figures, but its the internet, i mean we have people who say 10mm bolts are perfectly fine for 3 links.
