It has a South Bend OFE, not the strongest, but its better than stock.

Update

How well are the Commanders working on these trucks? That is what we might use for gauges...

From what I've heard since they have changed the fuel pressure sensor everything works like it should.

Take it for what it's worth, but trying to pull 30,000 along with using a HR pump and Edge Comp. is asking for headgasket troubles.

Good luck with your build.

OK guys, I thought I would resurrect this thread since I am finally doing the finishing touches on my "Project Pops" build-up. I ended up going with a SuperHX-40 from HTT, 4" MBRP exhaust, a new complete top side gasket set, and a Stage 1 Port and polish for the head.

Ever since I put the 275RV injectors in about 5 years ago they have always loped. Now it is really bad, so I plan to replace them with Jammer 3s. Anyone have problems with those injectors like this?

I will post pics soon.

Off topic sort of - have you thought of putting a remote mount e-brake on that sucker?
Sure would make the 30K stop nicer.

I would really like to get a exhaust brake, but right now I am really just trying to get it on the road.

To help this motor out I did a little port and polish work on the exhuast side of the head....


Here is before>>



Here is after>>



Heres a nice shot of the radiator before it was cleaned believe it or not it washed up pretty nice and gets to go another 150k++++




Here is the completed motor all washed up with new turbo, exhuast, gaskets,and port job...

Thumbs up

So once I got it all put together I got the Pops loaded up and let em give it a whirl, although he was a little hesitant in the rain he finally let go and played around a bit

Once it dried up we found a little problem..... now his new clutch slips

Time for a dual disk

OK I just thought I would update on the build again... I got the Jammer 3s installed after the 275's finally bit the dust. It idels way better than before and has made a few ponies along the way.

Now I am just waiting for the Quadzilla Race box to become available and we will be ready to rock and roll.
