Do you happen to have a source for the degree change for the rest of the key part numbers? I'm not having much luck searching for that so far myself.
@iambecuzican 17 күн бұрын
I do not.. I spent HOURS trying to find the information that I put in this video. If I could complete that chart pinned in the comments, that would be awesome! But I don't have the rest of the info. The big aftermarket Cummins cam manufactures do have the info, being that the VP44 key IS the key that they use in CAST cams. So I'm sure there are reasons why they have not posted the data publicly.

Great Info! Thanks for posting! Cam timing variations is my personal theory to explain why 2 different 5.9 Cummins truck set up in exactly the same way get 2-4 MPG different from one another. Very little information available about cam timing though. Thanks for posting!
@iambecuzican 18 күн бұрын
I completely agree! The tolerances of where the cam is keyed at, and where the gear is keyed at, and how long the connecting rods are, all may vary by thousands of an inch (I think on this Cummins cam, something in the ballpark of 9 thou changed the degree on these engines).
@blainemccauley2641 17 күн бұрын
@@iambecuzican Exactly. If you happen to get parts trending toward opposite sides of their respective manufacturing tolerances, they'll cancel out. But if they all trend the same directly, the tolerance stacking can push the assembly out of spec.

You have built the coolest second gen IMO out there. Are you going to be making and selling front suspension kits once you have all the kinks worked out? I bought dodge off road parts however it looks like you have stepped it up.
@iambecuzican 27 күн бұрын
Thank you! I appreciate that! And 100%. I won't be putting together any kits for the exact set up I'm running (off the bat) consisting of the SD60 Swap, but the 1st product will be 2nd Gen Long Arms for the factory axle. Going off that Long Arm video that I made. Plus a bunch of other smaller products. LATER if ppl are more interested in doing this EXACT set-up as I'm doing here, I can streamline the kit more, sell with or without the axle done, but that will def be a pricey product, and from a no name company off the bat, would be a hard sell. I need to prove the name first and show I care about quality and customer service before I do that.

Well I think you have a great craftsmanship and I hope you’re able to gain traction with what you’re doing. I already have the dodge off road long arm kit and track bar set up on my 2000 however I would be interested if you sold your coil over set up. I’m definitely not going to be going as in depth as you have with my truck, at least not anytime soon however the shock set up you installed would be a sweet upgrade to my rig. Do you have a website?

@@usafbade2012 Is that based on the weight difference of the rear? I'm not sure if you're running IFS up front, and then solid in the rear? Or is that mainly because of the greater amount of rear travel, leading to the rear dropping at a faster rate, creating more downward force? Hopefully that makes sense..

Dude im digging it. Im totally been sitting here telling Myself, ‘why dont i have friends like this...’ This is the type of stiff im all about doing to my truck. I got an ‘02 HO 6 speed, its got all the nuke proof stuff, non CAD 60 front, dana 80 rear with disc, nv5600, np241dhd. With barely 100k on it yet. Shes a unicorn, mint and perfect, ive already just about nuke proofed all the weak links in everything i could already aside from lift/ suspension. But i wanna full nasty on it like this. Ive built quite a few trucks over the years. The style and direction everyone goes with their builds is nothing like what your doing. Aint nothing out there bolt on out of the box, going to be as strong or nuke proof as what your doing up. The ford axle swap is a unique idea, but it lakes sense why you went that direction. Everyone thinks im cray for wanting to king pin my front axle, either weld king pin C’s onto my factory dana 60 axle tube or find a first gen king pin 60 and rework all the mounts. My truck being an ‘02 don’t have the CAD vacuum crap, like the older ones. Its not money keeping me from doing what your doing, its having a place to do it, the space, the help and having some friends to. Heh. I see yiur doing it in your driveway without a lift, and thats how ive always had to do it too. A lift would be nice.

So you just lowered the hole 3 1/4"? and the bracket itself is only 1/2" lower? So you're not losing almost 3" of clearance compared to the old set up. Just wondering because 3" is a lot for some of us guys haha

Lower Arm Mount hole center line is 3/4" lower, and the entire bracket is 1/2" lower. I didn't want to give up more clearance but the 1/2" was worth the angle of the arms. It'll be covered in the next video once it stops raining on my weekends!

Adding info for Injectors.. MANY places advertise NEW Bosch bodies. That neglects to reference the nozzles, and thinking legally (I'm obviously not a lawyer) IF the nozzles and bodies were new genuine Bosch, they'd label them as New Genuine Bosch Injectors. But most don't. So you see bodies referenced in ads. Easiest way to figure out where the nozzles are from? Just call the retailer and ask :) and just like referenced in the video, this might mainly matter to those who want the longest lasting injector mileage wise and cleanest burning. Anything big horse power will haze more but if the needle isn't sealing properly, fuel will be constantly leaking out causing more haze :)

I love the idea of using a double ended hydraulic ram for your hydraulic assist so much more room for clearance not having to have a tie rod and a ram down there. Curious on how they ported your box. Is there any extra flow involved? Also, what size ram are you running? I’m running a Toyota IFS box on my Colorado with a 2“ x 8“ stroke by 1.25 shaft which displaces, almost identical amount of fluid of my original ram that redneckram sent with my box also curious what you’re running for a pump and the flow of it along with are you running a ported Hydro boost?
@iambecuzican 4 ай бұрын
The detail in the porting would be WAYYY better explained by Lee power Steering :) BUT, on their website you can see how much they open up the ports on the control valve, which is what directs fluid. So extra flow should be there. WITH that extra flow temperature should also be helped since there is less restriction. Ram size is a 2.5" Body with a 1.5" rod. and yes! I did have my hydro boost high flowed :) MIGHT not have needed it, I'll never know, but I didn't want to have to go back in and address anything.
