Re: Ultra Family and Hauler Mobile

Yep that would do it . I remember when my 99 3500 dodge chipped off a tooth. 250 mi from home and 1100 mi left to deliver the boat . I pulled the cover off in the truck stop parking lot . Realised it was fawked by now so I just re filled it and carried on as long as i could in 4X4. Made it another 150 ish mi and the thumping was actually making me sick to my stomach it was so bad . Pulled over and scratched my head for a while ?????????? Ended up taking the rear half of drive shaft out , leaving front in the hanger bearing and continued on in 4x4 . Or front wheel drive i guess... lol... Took it real easy with abt 6000lbs in tow (empty return )and made it home 2700 ish mi round trip . Thank god for 4x4 !

I loved reading your longhorn thread but I think I love this thread more. I read a thread about another guy who did a CR in an EX a few years ago. He made everything work as it should. Sucked about the drain plug. Sounds like my luck.

I always wanted to do a Cummins Ex for the wife but have never found one cheap enough. So my next thought was a Tahoe. I found a few cheap. I like your idea of a 24v VE. How is the performance?

Re: Ultra Family and Hauler Mobile

The VE 24v runs pretty good. I'm still tuning on it and playing with it. I'm probably going to back the timing off a little more to try and reduce combustion knock to quiet it down. It's pretty loud compared to a vp or even a p pumped one.

Re: Ultra Family and Hauler Mobile

The airtex lift pump I put on there in the begining crapped out so I put an airdog 150 on it and it's been happier. The wife has put 12k on it so far since last year. Now I've got to fix the a/c and it's golden. The new napa clutch on the compressor doesn't want to work. Go figure. (It's been that way since last year. I just haven't gotten to it yet.)
