So i just got my first diesel im leaving the rock crawling world for a bit to go diesel and and totally pumped with it. I am a ford guy but Ended up with a 1993 12v with 205000 miles on it and its a auto 4x4. Looking to get some back round info on it like axles and tranny and gears in it. my names brandon and looking forward to learning anything i can from you guys. heres some pics of it will post better ones tomorrow.

 

SWWWWEEEEETTTTT TRUCK!!!!!!

....mmmwwwaahhhaaahhhaaahhaaaa!!!! (evil laugh)
Oh, we can build you such a nice truck with this foundation...

But, to answer your questions, you have what are probably 3.54 gears in a Dana 70 axle. I think, (not 100%) that the front is a Dana 60. There should be nomenclature on the door to confirm this, and/or under the hood just by the latch. The tranny, unless it's been changed out for something else, is an A518/46RH, (one and the same) which is basically a 727 with OD.
Your turbo turbine housing should be, if stock, an 18cm2. While not super quick spooling it works reasonably well with a mild tune and the auto. Not so good for a stick though...

What else? Geez, there's so much. Maybe let us know what your plans for the truck are and we can steer you in the right direction. You might also check out some other forums such as thedieselpump.com, dieseltruckresource.com and 1stgen.org. There's a wealth of information out there, (kind of overwhelming at first) and most of us are more than happy to help.

Oh, and welcome to the world of 1st genners!

 

nice truck.

 

Hey thanks guys my buddie already did some pump work for me not exactly sure what he did but made it get more fuel like say I'm still learning about diesels it's all new to me. Ask me about gas and I know it all we also turn the smoke screw all the way down. Anyhow I currently want to add a pyro boost and a tach what's some good cheAp gauges?? And I probaly want to get it to the 400-500 hp range

 

it will take some work to get her up that high in horsepower levels butt man i wouldnt get cheap gauges i would spend the money and get quality like auto meter or isspro you can get a single dash mount gloshift thats a tach pryo and boost gauge butt there not known to be the best again i would deffenitly suggest buying quality so you dont have to buy another gauge good luck with your build up man

 

No I get what ur saying man and by all means this truck is getting the best of stuff I just don't need the most expansive gauges for now dose and one have pics of there gauge set ups??

 

here ya go man i love mine it is just 2 auto meter double pods trimmed and screwed up there there the best angle and easiest to read

 

A good place to get good gauges cheap are semi-truck salvage yards. They almost always use isspro pyros. Your gonna luv the cummins, nice truck

 

heres my gauge mount. works good for me.

 

dose anyone run lucus pod injectors?? im thinking about getting some of these i can get a good deal on them
