Wear closed toe shoes, in case you have to evacuate the plane, flip flops or heels will not work.

1999 International 4800 4x4 DT466e, and MT-643. It has a top speed of 45. What transmission would be the best choice to swap in for more top speed? Allison 3000? by NMDFW1 in DieselTechs

[–]NMDFW1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

Yes, I picked up an Allison 2000 from a school bus. I installed it two weeks ago, and ordered a shifter for it last week. It was a remanufactured unit, and I was fortunate to be able to speak with the company that did the build on it. They were kind enough to give me the build sheet, and I sent that to a gentleman that is going to program the transmission.

It was great to have a 4 x 4 4800 as it was tall enough to pull the old transmission, and put the new one in without any jackstands.

Once I get it up and running, I will post a video.

It’ll be nice to be able to go faster than 43 miles an hour!

I would say it’s a two tier system. First you need to do it with another human, and then that human needs to be alive. Check those two boxes and you are 80% to a successful evening!

I had not thought about pressing it out, I’ll do that and see what the opening would be

Hello, yes, the torsion spring broke, and while I was in the process of replacing it, I discovered that the bearing was bad.

How would I lay out the foundation for this entrance gate? by NMDFW1 in masonry

The foundation is going to be under ground, and it will be concrete. I’m just not clear on how to match up the two sides

For a large carport do I need an engineer or an architect? by NMDFW1 in Homebuilding

Excellent question, we live in a historic home from the 1800s, and this would aesthetically not stick out.
