    742 case with 3.91 gear - Manufacturer Recommendations

    Timken bearings are my favorite.. I believe Cass at Dr. Diff is one of the go to guys around here. Gears — idk I have old Richmond's that were good for me or oem gears.

    Debate. LA 360, or 5.9 Magnum?

    What about engine mounts? Just wondering if there is a difference in the two?

    Considering a/t to manual conversion….

    Main thing is keep the car together .. don’t blow 50 years of good care taking, sell it and buy a manual or not a correct car. Everyone has a opinion just mine...

    73 satellite 4 door /6 to 4.7L engine swap

    The term boat anchor doesn’t fit a 4.7, noisy *** valve train and just a very finicky engine with little to no nuts... boost the slant with a big turbo if you want to be unique...

    Tear Down of a RB Industrial Engine

    You may consider bunching up that industrial stuff and donating or selling it. Governed engine stuff is hard to find. I’ve worked on Ford gas burners and it was unreal. I don’t know any sites to help move that kind of stuff though. Old fire trucks still use those in some areas. Just trying to help.

    73 satellite 4 door /6 to 4.7L engine swap

    The slant 6 would be a superior engine compared to the 4.7. Why not a magnum series engine with a A 500 4spd? It would be simpler and no ecm required. You will need a V8 K member and trans. The trans that usually goes behind the 4.7 is unique and may require a lot of effort to make it work. Best...

    Baldwin have had leaking issues and flow issues. ... Just relating what I’m told and I know that Baldwin’s go straight in the can and we only use Wix, Napa gold, fleet guard and oem filters.

    Clutch fan

    Should have resistance, make about 3 rounds with fair amount of effort to rotate, not overdoing it.

    Gear quality and getting a good set-up

    Years ago when we put a set of 3:91 together for my RT I used Richmond. They are a little noisy not bad. The thing I recall is the paperwork in the box had US Gear all over it. I assumed then they are sibling companies. No complaints here but do worry about future needs.

    '05 Dakota making ugly noise

    Transfer cases fail , chain gets real sloppy, those double cardan joints have tore up a lot of trucks because nobody greases them. On newer rams there is sticker on the lip of the lh fender telling you to grease it .. the 2013-2018 .

    Replacing 675 Heads (273 V8)

    Me personally I’d just let the local qualified machine shop redo them .. You may get a new set on line and still rework them. If yours aren’t cracked they are still worthy. Cost is cost if your not into high performance. I’ve dealt with on line places and I can’t stand the headaches . If your...
