    I'm trying to put a transmission build together, NEEDING to find some good used 48re parts; full set of 6 pinion steel planets, forward, reverse, O.D. With 15* cut teeth, shell, sun gear and ring gear? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Know a friend of a friend who can help, PM me or call, four. two. Three. 596. 196three. Thank you, Dave
  2. Truly a big thanks for the insight and guidance on this. After the timings done, I'm going to tuff out tuning the AFC. Have a spring kit coming, hope that and some luck will do it. Back to the math video you did explaining timing and how to mark the damper? I thought it was in the list of videos? That's a great teaching tool! Send the link so I can watch it again! !
  3. After SLEEPING on it Yes, ISX after I take pmp pip out , just need to Barr engine over 2* past my TDC mark. I woke up with that on the brain then saw your post.
  4. Bjtec, you change the oil after timing set and put back together?
  5. ISX I can find the math, Trig. Video and marking the balancer?
  6. Bj what size socket mm for the nut? ISX THANKS, so I will take pmp pin tab out and break gear nut loose, then Barr engine over CC to 14* balancer mark? Truck should be @ stock timing? Barr engine a TAD more to 16* mark and should be ready to clean shaft & retork nut?
  7. WELL, ISX glad you mentioned the timing ck tip. Bought a mirror, Ha ha According to my balancer TDC mark, WHICH should line up on L side of speed sensor!, I found the injector pmp timing pin, put the the notched hold pin in, rechecked TDC, IT slipped, eyeballed it looks retarded 2-4*!! Now to time it. TDC MARK spot on with #1 valves. So I know balancer timing marks 14, 16, 18*, are good. Mind refreshing my memory! Questions: #1. Keep injector pmp pined and HOLD barring tool when I break pmp gear loose? #2. What is the best cleaner to use on pmp shaft? #3. How do you clean shaft behind gear, good enough through that timing gear cover, oil fill hole with gear still on shaft and nut OFF? #4. What size socket for pmp shaft nut, 1-3/16 is a tat loose, mm size? Thanks & If I've left anything out, or you have some advice pleas feel free, very open to all suggestions! Retiming should help my current set up to run a lot better?
  8. Thanks ISX, I can still see the TDC and 14,16,18 marks on balancer. That's on the list for tomorrow. How about the AFC, with the foot out , runs good, but any hard acceleration and I'm dumpen fuel, pushed EGT's, and PISSEN off the driver in right lane & behind me when smoke clears. LOL. They don't haha! I'm thinken a softer spring to get the AFC back on and the foot moven on 35-40 boost? Know where to find one? Would realy like to get this dialed in so I can tow with it! With foot out its WAY to easy to to go past 1300*, I'd think towing would make it worse? ISX, just curious about how Dodge matched stock injectors with stock turbo? 12v injectors with Hx35, did the mechanical engineers have a table, formula, or just plain old trigonometry and basic math to match X amount of fuel with Y amount of air on a given engine displacement @ a given RPM? I have heard of a fuel air curve but have yet to find it on a web search? Just sayen, if stock set up, fuel/air ratio were graphed on an X/Y axis, would it not be a WHOLE lot easier to explain @ say 10% above STOCK fuel/ air ratio one needs to run X turbo and Y injectors? I've seen turbo mapping and understand turbos peak efficiency lies in the calculated area! Is there injector mapping? I had this on the brain thought I'd ask! Thanks Dave haha!
  9. Found the fuel & boost. Took out the AFC foot, left the plate. Boost @start 10-15psi @ 1200-1300rpms. It'll go and smoke if heavy on the foot! Normal easy foot just a haze, like ISX drive by foot I guess. The egt's still want to climb Quick to 1200 but come right down. So the AFC foot & or spring were not working properly? May be bump timing up to18* to help with egt's? Truck still feels just a tad behind what it was with stock sticks & hx35 with timing @16.5*.
  10. Bjytech, thats exactly how it feels, thought I'd start with taken plate out, maybe I'll start with the foot. What are you runner for a charger? Thanks dave
  11. Smoke screw adj so a puff @ start, clears right away, star wheel, I have it backed all the loose, maybe 2-3 turs on it, if I put 15 -20 turns on it the truck will hardly accelerate, and the peddle is a Cement Block!
  12. Way to gut it out, yaddadoo, that's my next crank to get the truck dialed in. ISX, here goes, A couple of years ago I did the 16.5* timming using the math U demonstrated in vid. "Awesome", and marked the harmonic balancer. All well and a very responsive truck! Along with Valve adj & AFC mod. To now. Installed a mod HX35, 63/68/12 to hopefully run a little cooler and ADD SOME HP, and ran it with stock injectors, never cloud get it to spool over 28psi. And EGT's over 1300 when I towed or WOT. Ck and fixed all boost leaks, inner cooler boot, and intake air horn. I knew it would be a bit laggy, peddle like a brick, till I got new sticks, but tuned AFC for best RSPONCE. And waited for my DFI 5x0.014's to arrive. While I waited, retorqed all head bolts, power coated V covers, compressor housing, twin ram intake Horne CLASSIC RED. Looks good! Put turbo compressor housing on, PITA big snap ring, injectors text book install, then put a snubber on injector pmp inlet for a fuel gauge. Bled the lines and she started right up. Went for a drive and just shook my head! Drove like it had stock sticks. My fuel psi. 25 @ idle and 30-38 when driving mild acceleration. The truck will start to spool @ 1200-1300rpm to 10-15 boost then drop, if I wot it will spool to mabe 25 then drop off. AGAIN I have checked,,,, boost leaks, none, Pulled AFC off and adj foot to full rack travel @35-40psi, #100 plate & AFC housing are full forward. Adjusted idle to 850rpm and ck all throttle linkage, fuel shut off silinoid arm travel opes all the way, I keep telling myself that it's NOT the timming because it starts on first crank like it did before I messed with it. Thanks any help would be great.
  13. Got it running, that's all I can say! Could use a second pair of hands to get it dialed in? Cold beer & $$$, will this help? LOL... ISX come on out, I'm ONLY a 10hr trip from you? Or you might already be in the area, stop on by, LOL. See ya Dave
  14. Thanks for sharing all! I hope to have it running by Sat. ?
  15. Installing new injectors 5x0.014 on truck in sig this weekend, would like to know what some of you put on the injector sleeve and locator ball to keep it from sticking/seizing in the head? Thanks Dave
  16. As for the Auto... If one takes the time to pick the right parts, it will put ALOT of power to the rear wheels. I know I spent $5200 and have out launched And out pulled alot of manuels! I broke it in with 375hp/680tq its rated for 500/1000! Just put a 63/68/12 and a set of 5x.014's no dyno yet but I an very colse to 450/875 without a good tune on the AFC. NOW i'm breaken the tires loose!!!

    To all who have bore such a sacrifice, words are not enough. For the price of freedom will never be FREE. The lives of ALL who have fallen, they took upon the ultimate sacrifice and were laid upon the alter for OUR Freedom and Liberty. God speed and His peace to the families and loved ones who truly are in remembrance of your sacrifice today. DEEPEST THANKS
  19. Did my driver seat 2yr ago. Took it to a auto upholstery shop, The guy put STIFF memory foam in and reused the cover ! Now my a$$ stays in the truck and gets the same seat every time... LOL! Got real tired of feelen like I was sliden out!
  20. X2 on dripley ck the brackets! I did mine last yr and that worked.
  21. Hmm I would definitely Do the break job, flush calipers real good, put on rear GM cylinders, and ceramic pads & shoes ! I took my master cylinder reservoir off and cleaned it ! Put DOT 4 Back in. All good.
  22. I have the Yukon hub, great set up and better fuel mileage.
  23. Ok the truck in the sig has been running ATF valvalen Dex / Mex synthetic in trans & P S for 3yrs now and driven very hard, 45k. No worries, leaks, or hose fitting failures! Red head steering gear Bx. To me one less fluid to carry in tool Bx. The ATF will absorb and disparate heat better and last longer than PS fluid IMHP. DOT4 in master cyl.
  24. Truck in sig has a slight (mili sec) cut out, pause, on sllloooww deceleration when manually manipulating the throttle cable. Just noticed it today. I was slowly revving engine, listening for a ex manifold leak and noticed when I reved engine up tp 1500rpm then very slowly let the throttle return to idle there was a dead spot round 1200rpm. Could not duplicate it going fast, or while driving. Any Clue, should I be concerned? Yes I do have a pin hole ex manifold leak on #3. Only audible @ idle and visible by the blowby between head and manifold... Up date,,, no codes and TPS 1yr old and tested good. Sprayed linkage.Still have the dead spot!! I have crawled all over that engine the last 2yr & never noticed it. I believe the throttle/injector pump problem is new one on me.. In the past yr I replaced ALL fuel Lines & oversized banjo fittings from tank to pump.
