There's lots of different opinions floating around out there and here, I've read. From all these oils I really haven't seen a common trend on what everyone is using, it usually 3-4 different oils and biased. I just get so confused lol. So I figured I'd make my own thread, and since I trust all the knowledge on this site, maybe I could get on board with a brand/weight. So far I only can come to the consensus that synchromesh oil is what I should run. But I'd like more options... and it's hard to find sometimes. Also gonna do the same thing with t-case. But I know it's just atf so that's pretty simple. Just gotta choose a brand, lol.

I normally run royal purple, 5 quart capacity plus 1. I'm gonna run some pennzoil synchro mesh for my new re build break in then change over to something different. So I know to run synchro mesh, but I've heard of guys using redline and other stuff. What is y'alls recipes? I haven't seen a whole lot of synchro mesh options out there.

@Mopar1973ManNo the ones up top here. And these little nuts holding the vacuum lines on

Is the frame mount just like a M6 or M8 or some type of machine screw or self tapper? I think the nuts for the vacuum pod deal is those thin nut-look-a-like things. Maybe lowes has those? Oriellys?

Needing specs or something close to the following - metal dash frame to fire wall screws/bolts I think there's 5 or 6 of them up across the top -the 2 little nuts that secure the port with all the HVAC vacuum lines, threads onto two little plastic nubs. Gonna go to the hardware store fri, I hope someone has an idea on the size at least, pics work too. Thanks fellas!

To fix a squeaky belt, simply put dawn dish soap on the belt inside/outside while its running. You'll be amazed!

I smell a lawsuit a brewing...

Makes perfect sense! @trreed that is sexy lookin!

This is very true, I have thought about getting a spare head to mess with and milling it off and building/port polish as I went (time and money) then bolt on. But your right about the flow at the head. I am wondering though if the (volume ) of air would be helpful through the bigger tubes to a bigger intake horn to the intake? (having the air there in bulk when its needed) Or would that be a waste since its not going to flow none of it?

Thats what I was leaning towards, is the boots any better? I have read about the extra .5 inch and info to back it up, but didnt know if anyone had real world experience with it. Its only $50 more... and you get shiny stuff. Haha

Needing opinions on this so I can get this ordered soon. Anyone wanna throw there in?

Very expensive, Id love to have a 4 link air bag setup in the rear though! DIY??? Ideas...

So Im looking at VPmax intercooler boots from DAP and Crazy Carls intercooler piping kit with tubes (3.5") Crazy carls is 250$ and Vpmax is 205$ Not much of a difference price wise but as far as functionality which would you choose??

Ahh... ok, makes sense now. Is it a hard connection on the lower or is it a hose (butt connector) just wanna make sure PO didnt swap it out for a barbed fitting or something different. This helps alot, thanks!

Following, need to do this mod.

I guess I could just 90* over and around the oil filter? Can someone post a pic of this area so I can see how its routed factory?

Well the extra hose just laying there was just me messing as round. I wouldn't be putting it near enough to get hot lol... So I guess what I was after is there is supposed to be a metal pipe running back... yea I never had one, go figure. I guess I'll plum one up going straight back then go to hose from there. My father in law might have an extra one from his truck, I'll check that too.

Is this one showing ?@Mopar1973Man

I hope the video shows what I'm needing. @Mopar1973Man does this help?

Little update on the truck... In reference to the torn boots will this kit work? Stock intercooler... https://www.dieselautopower.com/crazy-carls-3-5-intercooler-piping-kit

Check this out.. How is the lower one routed?

Mainly the lower one (longer section) Is it routed up and around or side of fender or by the block...

I need a quick pic of how the heater core hoses are routed. Putting in new hose in atm and cant find pics of how its supposed to be routed...

This is what I have, slipped right onto the gear box..

Yea its all original, steering box and shaft. On my slip yoke there is a collar with a set screw, presumably to keep it from moving...
