Eh. I run my valves at 8 and 18 respectively and have had it up to 1800*. No issues yet! Remember, intake has a range of 6 to 16 and exhaust range is like 15 to 30 I think. Cummins spec.

I've got a bug up my sleeve to put a CR in that body style SRW 350. Black/Tan King Ranch too. Not sure that will ever happen.

Still have crosshatching? Any cracks in the head? Did you see the bad part of the gasket??? You left out all the good information!

Around 675 I think? The 4th gens have 660 ft-lbs stock so it’s gotta be around the 675-700 number. G56 has an aluminum case though and can crack under high power. @TFaoro‘s was behind a 900 hp truck and is fine so it’s all about driving smart.

550 ft-lbs is the rated continuous input torque. I’m not sure what the maximum momentary input torque is, but you’re not gonna be using all 1000 ft-lbs all the time, so you’ll probably be below or just at the 550 ft-lb limit. Plus, there’s a factor of safety and an expected life factored into that 550 number, so it’s conservative anyways. He has an 01. First year of the 1-3/8” shaft

Check these two plugs at the rear if you can't see where the trail comes from.

Which is the plan.... and then the seal is broken so might as well delete it

You've had it a week now? lol. Does this constitute putting your "grubby mitts on it" in your wife's eyes?

Studs. Then you can run the high timing and not worry.

There is a 3/8" freeze plug in the head on the passenger side as well in that area.

You're right about at that range. Depends on your timing and fuel curves

Measure to be sure but: https://www.dieselautopower.com/vulcan-push-lock-fuel-pressure-tee-3-8

You're still below the limit of "might actually break something". Enjoy it. Don't destroy your clutch.

There are cheaper options for the pressure sensor. I'm using a $20 oil pressure sensor from a Mercury outboard motor I found on eBay. As for the fitting. The pressure sensor is 1/8" NPT. The question becomes what AirDog did the PO install? is it like the AD 150 with the full 1/2" fuel lines? If so, then you're looking for this: http://www.vulcanperformance.com/Push-Lock-Fuel-Pressure-Tee-1-2-p/plt8.htm

You'll use wiretap again. Trust me. It'll become addicting. Just plan your shifts. Don't power shift or try to lay into it under 2000 rpm in 6th.

Wiretap isn't considered by the ECM in the engine load calculation. That's why the load number was down. Also, the reported instant mpg number is just a 'best guess' when wiretap is on. I discovered this same thing last year. Crusing at 85 mph with wiretap on, screen was reporting 23+ mpg. I was thrilled until I almost ran out of fuel in Nowhere, Nebraska and discovered my hand calculated mileage was 15.

But a nice heavy steel trailer will keep that DPF clean!

Yeah, something like that..... It does bring in a wide variety of comments though!

The pinion is supposed to be torqued to 40 rotational inch-pounds for new bearings. Which is pretty tight (about 550-600 ft lbs of torque on the nut). It's hard to check now that the carrier is installed, as this value is set with no carrier and no seal on the pinion.

Hey I only have 4 gears! Wait a minute...

Yeah well you know some of the goofy things I'm doing to keep the VP happy and driveable.

I think your offset will vary with VP health and rebuild quality. My offset with 6 x 0.013's is 155% and it is spot on. Seems low for the size of injector, and for reference, my old 7 x 0.0095's were 153%

Injectors in, crossover tubes in, HP lines tight (maybe cycle tight and loose three or so times to ensure proper seating) and then injector hold down.

No. They should stay in place now and will be in the same position.

You would have to pull the APPS out to get to the #1 isolater bolt. But there is enough play in these lines that they can be pulled to the side without permanently deforming, allowing access to crossover tubes. I usually do this one at a time.
