I was under the impression that all the super duties had unit bearings like this?

Timken Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly - Course Thread - Riffraff Diesel Performance

I am so confused now.

That one is for a 4X4 front axle on the Superduty.

 

Thats for a 4x4 not a 2wd.

 

Ohh, obviously I didn't realize the 2wd super duties had regular tapered bearings. Thank you.

2nd in line 1st guy put a deposit on it.

 

The plan was to swap in a Super Duty front hub because I was going to swap in a Super Duty rear axle. But it sounds like ride quality won't improve, payload won't improve, and I completely forgot it had 3.55s instead of 4.10s lol

 

Somebody has to decide if he is gonna drop the coin for the vehicle....

 

I can say with certainty that 340 PSI per cylinder starts JUST FINE even when it is cold, cold, COLD outside. I had to fire mine up (unplugged) at about 10* (F) the other day to tow my neighbor's stalled out Duramax home for him. It wasn't happy about it, but it did it just fine with working glow plugs. Generally, it fires up just fine, but hazes for a while (and you can smell the incomplete combustion) until it is warm. I wish I could say I', actively looking for a low mileage replacement, but at this point, I have so many other irons in the fire, that the poor truck isn't getting a lot of love. The wife's van, the house, the tractor, the barn, even the lawn mower are all in line ahead of the truck. It's a sad state of affairs, but it just keep chugging along. I came across a relatively low mileage mill the other day, but they wanted $1100 for a short block, which isn't a great deal, in my opinion.

 

I'll let you know soon Aaron lol. It'll boil down to how much it's going to cost me to get the '69 home

i did a compression check on it. Had to use a grease gun hose to make it work and it would only thread a few times. It would top my gauge at 300 after a few cranks on all but one cylinder which hit 280. The whole test was iffy with the tools I had but it gave me the answer I needed: I don't have a dead cylinder.

I know prior to this, Ol Green would start with these compression numbers, not plugged in after sitting for 12+ hours outside in the cold wind. It didn't matter what the temp was, it'd fire up

 

After seeing the responses to this question, I'm wondering why you are asking. Because an engine could fire with a couple cylinders that have zero compression. The minimum compression needed for a cylinder to fire actually depends on the temperature of the air,cylinder,fuel etc.

So, what are you really trying to find out?

 

well, i officially went to the dark side yesterday with the purchase of a new truck.


































i bought a gas engine after 33 years of driving diesel powered pickups.

 

Or maybe it's the "lighter" side?

 

at least it is still a ferd.

 

eco boost Ferd? like the lame gt v6 :-) can't they eco boost a v12 or something cool now since Trump is in?

Make the 7.3 greeat again!!! Common rail it with no emission standard :-)

 

ego boost? BITE YOUR FREAKING TONGUE!!
