Default Re: What in Tarnation?

Most of them came available in the early 90s..... The engine I have was built in '88. Seems the drivers staged a revolt against the clattering, rattling noise in a tin can of a ups truck with the engine between the seats making it hard to think. My wife didn't like my last 6at conversion and I don't expect her to like this one. I have a bunch of trucks, all single cab. This one is for my guy time. Cummins specs call for 57 lb oil pressure and that is exactly what I have. I hgave plastigauged the mains and rods and it is exactly at factory specs......
