Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler

Thanks guys and thanks for the tip Willy. I've had no issues since trueing up the grounds. Put about 80 miles on the truck tonight to seat the rings. Wow. The torque is flat awesome. I held 85 mph up about a 3 mile long 7% grade in overdrive without pushing hard at all. It's no race car but it feels super strong. I need to drop the break in oil and go find something to tow. I'll post up a pic of the exhaust shortly. Here it is at the top of the hill. Old 350 would barely hold 55 up this hill bouncing off the rev limiter (floating valves) in second.
