Cummins/82 C10

[ellis93]

Getting the engine mounts changed out
I mashed the fire out of it




Lots o difference in between the two

The side effect of this is now my trans is hanging lower and throwing the angle of my drive shaft even farther out of whack. Fixing to deal with that now.

[ellis93]

It is a 3:08 rear gear with that weirdo gm limited slip.

Also till I can build a new cross member I had to do this

Not my best work

[PToombs]

Changing the mud in the diff? Being a mechanic and all I would have thought you checked that before you started driving it?

[cmann250]

Not my best work

See, if I did that, I'd be very proud of my craftsmanship because I didn't take the torch to it. It's not like we don't have a chop saw, but the torch is always two steps closer.

[ellis93]

Caleb I know what you mean.... I was tempted

Pete I'll have you know I did change that grease.....two years ago
I guess condensation got in there,it never has moved since doing the service.


Just got done with the ride to the house in it....totally different truck. The sound,ride,and take off are totally different. I'm liking it.

[DMan1198]

You going to do More horsepower now?

[DodgeFreak]

did you go with stock oem mounts?

[ellis93]

Soon!

Ive been scoping out comp D lately,lots of good stuff on the p pump

DF yeah had to. But they have a lot of meat to them.

[ellis93]

Got my adjustable pressure switches rigged up,it shifts like I want now. In O/D by 45mph and in L/U by 55. I want it to shift like that so I can still ride around town in OD at around 1200 or so rpms while holding off the lockup.

So far it's doing really well,and I don't have to fool around with a switch

[ellis93]

Another piece of the puzzle that is my truck. A 26 tooth gear to correct my speeder meter

[ellis93]

Well! Should've bought the 29 tooth for 3:08's,the 26 is like 5 mph faster than your running. Luckily I had a reduction gear saved from the gas set up out of this truck,it has the speeder meter dead nuts on.

[ellis93]

Got a rear bumper installed finally,threw on some junk I had laying around. Really just wanted to see what it looked like.



It follows the contour of the bed pretty good



Wish I could find a drop step

[cmann250]

I bought the 8" drop on mine for $40 at an auction. Beats the hell out of the ones I see on Craigslist for $150 that have rust holes and peeling chrome.

[ellis93]

Hell.....I'd settle for a used,slightly abused one. I can't even find one of those

[PToombs]

Are you that short or fat or lazy that you can't climb up on that low truck? I think it looks good on there. Now you need to take some brake cleaner and clean the paint off the tag before the cops get you. You shoulda put some cardboard over it.
