Gruven metal window gears and motors

Here's pics of those metal gears from Gruven Parts that I linked to in a previous post:















The motors that are supposed to be better and stronger than the OEM ones.

My old Condensator that I used on old vehicles

Thought I'd share this as well.

This is the old Condensator I used on my 96 F250 with a 351W. Posting this up for the new users here and FYI.




They are out of business now. A company called World NCI bought out the remaining stock but I believe they went out of business as well. They jacked up the prices really high. I contacted them in the past and was going to buy another one but never did. I have a smaller one that I ran on my 4 cylinder 4Runners as well.





The metal screened can there contains those silicon pellets like the air compressor moisture filters do.




Here's all the crap they collected from my F250 and my 88 4Runner. I forget if I had it on my 94 4Runner that's ben sitting in my garage.

S&S 2ndgen DPK integration with oil catch can

Thanks to @Bitterroot Diesel for posting this pic:


This shows the mount which the earlier pics did not, from what I remember...



This is the under side pic of the oil catch can bracket. It uses the OEM bolts that are already in place. There is the other bolt which is not visible in this photo but is in the next...





Here you can see the tip of the other bolt, or screw, on the other side. It's looks like to me that the DPK mount does not use these as the distance between them is too big from what I can see from the center to center distance on the DPK mount. I think 2 holes get drilled into the horizontal plastic piece that runs the length of the firewall. But we will see for sure when It comes in.

Diode Dynamics SS3 Amber LED fog lights...

These are on my wish list and may order since we will be getting stimulus money and our tax returns soon. I haven't decided if I'm going to go with the Pros or the Max's for power level yet...

https://www.diodedynamics.com/ss3-le...250-f-350.html













My reasoning for the fogs is that deer like to hang out in the ditches on the back roads I travel. Amber is for the fog and snow we get. Plus amber is supposed to cut through that stuff better than the white.




I never considered the Rigids after reading about the Baja designs. I guess there was better out there than each... and with an 8 year warranty which the others don't have.




Plug and play.

Remember to grease the front axle U-joints...

I was watching the Powerstroke guy, the mechanic that makes all those great vids on YouTube, when I learned that our Super Dutys have greaseable u-joints on the front axle. I never realized or knew. But I know now. I gotta ask my buddy if they greased them when they did the brakes back when...

I took a few pics but they won't come through my email on my phone. So check out this video. I'll post up the pics when I get a chance.

Greasing non-greaseable wheel bearing units

Okay I have the tool he uses in this video but have never used it. I figured out for Riff Raff that this tool would work for the newer Super Dutys as well in an older thread which when I find it, I'll link it here.

https://www.riffraffdiesel.com/front...fitting-99-16/

I wanted to do this before my miles got up there, but it never happened. Now that my truck will be a getting a snow plow installed for next season, I want to grease these up this spring when the weather gets warmer. I'll post up here with pics and input when that happens.

Here's the video:

Thread where I confirmed the RiffRaff grease tool will work with later model years unit bearings

Here's the thread where I show pics of the different bearing model numbers to show the OD of the hole where the ABS senor goes in all was the same.

Me too... I think it's been a couple of years since I lubed mine. But then I only use 4 wheel drive at slow speeds.

I don't always leave my hubs locked in the winter time; hell... most of the time they were in free mode and I used the vacuum to pull them in.

Yep, I have one of those. Check post #36... same link I left.

If you put a 6 lb pork roast on the engine, how many hours drive time to cook it to a nice medium. Lets say the day is 70F and sunny.
Are you now sorry that you said all questions are welcome lol

Okay, in my honest and unqualified opinion, I believe it would depend on if it was a gasser or a diesel.

Being that I own the oil burner, I'll refer to that. Seeing how the 6.7 has exhaust pipes right on top of the engine, this would be an efficient design to cook your roast on. It may take faster than a traditional oven as the temps under the hood may be hotter, That will have to wait to be determined.

Since the general rule to cook pork is 20 to 25 minutes per pound at 325 - 350 degrees F.

The internal temperature to be reached for a medium cooked piece of pork is to be cooked to about 160 degrees F.

I will need to find out the temperature of those top exhaust pipes as well as possibly to find any room on top of the valve covers which are the intake and exhaust runners. A little trip to Harbor Freight to obtain a temperature gauge will be in order. I always wanted one anyhow. So until then... to be continued...
