if youre smart the chevys dont need the tank dropped, you just need an grinder with a zip disc, cut 3/4 of a square and fold it back when youre done, 30 minutes maxbut atleast non of those tritons needed the tank dorpped for the pump
LOL, did that in my mother in laws jimmy, under the driver side back seat, I cut out a square, then used rivets and sheet metal from work to close it up. Wouldn't do that on a pickup though.2strokeforever wrote:if youre smart the chevys dont need the tank dropped, you just need an grinder with a zip disc, cut 3/4 of a square and fold it back when youre done, 30 minutes maxbut atleast non of those tritons needed the tank dorpped for the pump
Navistar and Ford didn't see eye to eye on warranty, ford was replacing motors in trucks that were running big tunes and had run a loong time on blown gaskets, navistar didn't want to foot the bill. Navistar also raised the price on the 6.4 and ford refused to pay. Ford then took the plans for the small 4.4 diesel which was destined for the f150 that navistar designed and decided to build it themselves. It is now being made by ford and being put in land rovers until their billion dollar suit is resolved.NightBiker07 wrote:the 6.0 and the 6.4 were garbage, and Navistar wouldnt stand behind them. not to say that those motors didnt run good....they ran real good.....when they ran.
they ought to revamp the 7.3 and bring it back......goddamn bulletproof.
That sucks when a decent one is over $300Travis wrote:I know a guy that changed his so often he put a hinge in the bed on that little cut out door and a latch. So he could quickly change it again. Kept one with him at all times. lol
. them old years were the bomb and still pull alot of cash if there in good shape. theres a dude up here put a 12valve cummins in a '76 f250. only 2wd but still badass. see if i cant get pics if i see him around.Does he use it to spin donuts in vacant lots while he videos himself?100hp honda wrote:... only 2wd but still badass.

Nothing to do with the desert but it is heat that kills them
If you are pumping air your car is out of gas, its running low on fuel all the time that kills pumps. The fuel actually cools the pump. Since your pressure regulator routs unused fuel back to the tank, this pumping action causes "adiabatic heating" of the fuel. So your pump basically heats up your fuel tank, the less fuel in the tank the hotter it gets. This is especially bad for Diesel trucks and why many (including mine) come stock with a fuel cooler.britincali wrote:No gas = pumps running in air = heat = quick dead chevy pump.
It would be a lot cheaper to just keep more fuel in the tank instead of running on empty all the time and burning out pump after pump...Travis wrote:I know a guy that changed his so often he put a hinge in the bed on that little cut out door and a latch.

the pump can have the outside in air (not cooled by the fuel) and still run, because the pickup is lower than the pump, which is what brit meant, see picNo gas = pumps running in air = heat = quick dead chevy pump.
i really doubt the fuel will get hot enough to burn the pump when submerged, im guessing the pump burns around 250-350f but i could be wrongthis pumping action causes "adiabatic heating" of the fuel. So your pump basically heats up your fuel tank, the less fuel in the tank the hotter it gets
BTW my Vette uses basically the same setup, I think the trucks may be more susceptible as their tanks may be more spread out and flatter meaning the pump comes out into the "air" sooner, just a guess. I never have burned a pump in my car. dannygraves wrote:My wife runs her car on fumes and has even run it completely out of gas a number of times... still the stock pump

Start shopping for a pump now 'cos you just jinxed yourself......

Basically everything, you drive around in that POS 4 banger Shitstang and ill drive that super unimpressive V8 Vette and lets see who gets more attention from Vagina, or is Vagina not your "thing"?Mad Dog wrote:What's that got to do with anything. Truth is, the 70's was a dark time for Detroit. Just take a look at the tire shreading 165 HP Vette.
Oh I like Vagina alright, I just never needed a fancy car to get it.
I'm not going to defend the 4 cylinder Stang cause I never liked it.
I know a person who thought she was trading up to one (yup it's a girls car) when she got out of a REAL POS, the Chevy Vega.The Repubilic of Kommiefornia is the most poorly run, Lib ruined, state in the union, YupMad Dog wrote:That's what we got in good ole Cali.
move out or stop bitching... I like the weather

GM never put a 4 banger in any muscle car Ive ever seen. The 6 pack Camaro and Turbo T/A were the closest thing but they still looked like the V8 version at least.
No one will ever mistake the Mustang II for a muscle car.
Ive seen a N/A Civic do nines, see if you can get that 4 banger "Cobra" in the 9's with no boost...Mad Dog wrote:This is when the Japs came in and well, we know what happened.
4 banger Cobra's were an embarressment.
No shit? Thanks for pointing that out, I had no idea, I apologize...Mad Dog wrote: You look foolish.
Apology accepted.
Uhh, I have, tons of both and Firebirds, GM FTW!! The baddest Rustystaing I have personal experience with was 900hp, BIIIIGG blower. Closest a F*RD has ever gotten to beating me in a drag race/top speed run. The fastest still was the Twin Turbo SS Camaro I didnt pass by him till close to 170mph, now thats smokin! Word is that car will go over 200mph so if the road was long enough he would have caught me eventually...Mad Dog wrote:You want to spout off stats about this and that with out any real world experience. Go drive a Camaro and then a Mustang and get back to us.
I was speaking about the new ones..
Correct, IRS smokes solid, you disagree?Mad Dog wrote:You tout the IRS vs. the solid axle, and then criticize the OHC, 4 valve for its' technology and praise the archaic OHV.
In what application? They both have their place?
In a true sports car, IRS is preferred. In a high HP muscle car, a solid axle less problematic. Combined with a Watts link, can work very, very well.
However, as Danny will tell you, Ford has their stock 3 link working very good.
Criticize OHC? I LOVE OHC thats what makes my 450 smoke your archaic 500. The baddest Vette ever made was the ZR-1, qwad over head cam, 16 fuel injectors, that thing was bad ass, Lotus knew what they were doing! But look how expensive hopping that motor up is. The LS series motors are dirt dirt cheap by comparison to the OHC F*RD. So that tiny advantage the car has stock would easily be eclipsed as soon as the hop-ups started rolling in. Plus from a "tuner" standpoint, which motor would be easier to make fast programming wise? Put a cam, TB, MAF and a chip in the LS setup and then compare that cost to $$$ ratio to the F*RD...
So you agree Quad cams, 4 valves is better than OHV, 2 valve.Im the least transparent person that ever walked the planet...Mad Dog wrote: Your about as transparent as a politician trying to get reelected.
Uh....Yeh...
We agree on something else? WEIRD!Mad Dog wrote:All the stats and mags don't mean spit.
The only thing that really matters is what floats your boat when you put the pedal to the metal.
We probably agree on more that you realize...
Hey, that makes 2 of us...Mad Dog wrote: Oh I like Vagina alright, I just never needed a fancy car to get it.
So just because the newest versions of each car I have driven were mid 2000's my experience and opinion is void?Mad Dog wrote: I was speaking about the new ones.. [/color]
F*RD has a lot more to prove to me than Danny's opinion, since the skid pad data proves my point. And the F*RD is far from the hp numbers that mandate a solid axle, come on man...Mad Dog wrote: In what application? They both have their place?

Yep, that was my point, better, at the cost of complexity and higher cost. Could you image for one sec if GM took that motor in the Camaro and put variable timing qwad cams on it? There would be MUCH more than a few 1/10th's of a second in the 1/4 difference...Mad Dog wrote:So you agree Quad cams, 4 valves is better than OHV, 2 valve.

Having a tough time with sarcasm eh? Ask anyone who knows me well, I tell it like it is and I dont sugar coat shit, in fact im also known for telling people "honest" things I prolly should keep to myself...Mad Dog wrote:Im the least transparent person that ever walked the planet...

Just ask Danny or my wifey...Your turn at sarcasm?Mad Dog wrote:We probably agree on more that you realize...
I will agree to this one, there have been many times where he should have kept his damn mouth shutM.F.D.B. wrote:

I would call him anything but dishonest not his fault he is blinded by the bowties in his eyes 
BTW, MFDB, I'm not calling you a typical vette owner, vettes just aren't for me, I can best relate a vette to a slut, totoally awesome for a good time, just don't want to bring it home
