LT smoke

its back together had to use a company called quad4x4....great services decent price and ok delivery to here in ohio.....ends up i broke four teeth on third counter shaft....3 teeth on third primary gear lost lots of bearings .....all in all with new shims for both shafts the counter shaft the primary gear and almost every bearing in there replaced ...needle and tapered only 700 bucks .....new lucas gear oil in the case really a pretty simple repair...thanks to every one ...i will try to get some pics up if some one can talk me thru it ...i only have about 2 or three and those are just the broken pieces

ok about to pull the transmission again ....i think i broke third gear ....looking to see if anyone has any experience in rebuilding a nv4500? i figure that its got to b cheaper than a rebuilt one ...best price i have gotten so far is $3400......also sorry for the long time between posts but between the army and the new job at kenworth truck company I havent had much spare time till now......thanks alot gang

ok sorry for keeping every one in the dark ....turns out a couple problems where going on ....to answer a few questions ..yes it went into gear fine with motor off as for what was going on the shift fork was bent ...the fingers on the basket were bent ..the pilot bearing fell out when the whole thing was backed out and the slave cylinder rod was installed backwards .....new parts pieces and upgraded south bend slave cylinder total price 800 bucks

just bought a quad adrenaline with the standard tunes ...looking for something more than the 200 horse it says it will give .....and does anyone know if any of the other tunes will enable the 3 cylinder fast idle ?

anyone have knowledge where a fellow could find some replacement parts like the engine bay fuse cover,steering wheel,center console in good condition overhead console and other misc.parts?

my aplogies if i used the wrong forum ...ok heres the deal i just bought the quadzilla and am ready to hook it up but would like to keep my edge ez so first question is does anyone know if they are stackable or not and second question if they are how would someone go about stacking them ...ie which parts connect where?.....thanks in advance everyone

nothing special done to the tranny ....the fluid was changed after the clutch install last may ..no towing at all since then and i used lucas oil transmission fluid with about a half quart of b&m trick shift fluid ....no noise from the tranny just wont go into gear

Well life officially sucks again ....the transmission started acting funky last night on the incredible hulk ...ie not wanting to go into second gear ..my normal takeoff gear ..raking bad in third and the only way to go into reverse was shut the truck off put it in third then restart ...so no hulk for me for at least a week the local shop guy says 1500 for a rebuilt five speed ..but he might b able to crack mine open an fix it for about 900 ....any thoughts or ideas ...on price and what might b wrong :banghead::banghead:

great info ...so from what i gather as long as the two previous owners didnt change anything i should have the 241 dhd .....1998.5 3500 4x4 ...as soon as i can get under the truck with out needing a snorkle ( 6 inches of snow here in southern ohio )...I know not alot compared to where most of the members are but still.....i will check the transfer case to see that the tag says nv241hdh

ah ok how is this transfer case marked so i might b able to tell? as i recall the transfer case was pretty clean last year when i changed the clutch

welcome to the site ask lots of questions ...thats the best advice i can give ...and hello from southern ohio

241 LdL? sorry im not familiar with this one any info you can share ?

dave hello from Ohio great to finally see someone else from the buckeye state on here. Ok now that the pleasantries are outta the way .....if you havent already done this i would suggest pulling the relay down from the side of the blower motor and look at it mine was completly shot and needed replaced ....not sure if this will help or not ..it did how ever work for me.

well did anyone hear how all this turned out ?

$3.29 a gallon most places here in southern ohio.....i have been going on the theroy of only buying fuel from non opec countries...so not buying from shell texaco chevron exxon speedway amoco or citgo ...citgo is venezuela but dictator hugo chavez has openly stated he hates america and has vowed to destroy our economy..so i have been buying from companies like sunoco..conoco, bp phillips ,hess , arco ,maverick, flying j ,valero, kwik fill and murphy oil which is sold at walmarts and the only soley usa owened and produced oil company

i have been running red top optimas since i got the truck ...only problem i had was poor connection from useing the stock terminal ends .....optima batteries have different sized posts ..so if you do go with optimas you will also need diffrent terminal ends ...i chose to go with the gold tsunami type that all the little import rice burner big bass cars the real young kids seem to like ....who knew these kids actually did a few smart things for their vehicles....the terminal ends are gold plated ...=less corrosion ..also the ends have multiple small connection areas for auxillary things ....cbs stereo amps...emergency warning or other auxillary lighting ....you are correct the optimas are expensive but they are sold at autozone and any autozone that carries them can replace them ....3 years no questions asked

well hmmm i guess i need to see how much boost im makeing then

quick question ..does any one know at what point the stock turbo hx 35 i think needs the waste gate hooked back up if at ? i havent made any huge performance upgrades yet ..just a few minor ones but i know at some point i will need to think about getting the waste gate working again to keep the turbo safe

no sticker in the glove box ..no original paperwork ..i am the third owner ..I think... no tags on the differential havent tried jacking it up yet to rotate the tires pretty sure i have a fully locked diff though i can hear it in the summer time when the windows are down and i make a turn the tires start skipping.

no i did not ....the electric plugs are entirly different and the base where the posts pass thru the door sheet metal for the nuts to sucure them on the other side is about 2-3 too big to work on the second generation dodges....oh well

its a dually so the tires are only 235's but yes at 70 mph im only turning about an even 2000 rpms on the stock tach. so .....3.54 gearing then ?

great awesome ....thank you very much and after some debate i decided to keep the old beast for a while longer ....i dont suppose you know a way to find out which gearing the rear has do you 98?....i had some friends that i was able to stay pretty close to on the highway ..at excessive speed say they believe it has airplane gears what ever that means

dont forget to first have your co pilot snap a picture of you keeping up good foriegn relations by giving the offending operator a one finger salute:thumb1:

does any one know of a way to identify which transfer case and front and rear axles i have ?....i did not buy this truck new and all the tags are missing i tried the white sticker under the hood but yeup its gone too ...actually the sticker is there but the writing has been rubbed off...getting ready to sell/ trade it maybe ..had a few offers on it ....i would rather keep it and do more work for a few more years i will still need to know the info for service and maintance

hmmm heads up fighter display on a cummins .......all we need now is the arming button for the missles and a good tone buzzer in the cab for a positive lock on any hostile rice burners...suppose we can also put a waarning alarm similar to the radar sam and air to air missle lock ons for various parameters like egt over boost low fuel pressure and overheated tranny
