It's the Dodge trannys that have issues...

Highroller: you're still running a stock turbo Weak sauce. :1 I just got my GT42 from a Detroit 60 rebuilt, now i just need some 220v and a garage so I can get the twins on my beast. Stupid moving to Alberta...

JD: Cool too know about the boost control on the VGT in the 240, I may try that in the future. Not the KA-T but the VGT

Goforth's got an '03, it's been through two rear ends and one transmission. I don't know the particulars on it as I'm not a glow-plug head, but it's a manual trans if that matters.


Sweet. Since you're diesel folk, what years do the Borg S372 come on the 60-series? It replaced the 42R, didn't it? Do you know any details of turbine AR, BW part numbers, etc?

con

stockish, next step will be bigger turbo and sticks

That trans doesnt suprize me but what the ---- is he doing to the rear diffs, I've seen guys go into 10's on 35's with 4dr one ton trucks and still have a stock rear ends

I dont know :P

Tom-Guy

One of the 80-100 horse reflashes with the usual minor DP/exhaust upgrades, and he drives the wheels off of it. And it is a 4dr 1 ton truck. :P

con

I don't know the year for sure but I believe it was around '01-'03, they never had the 42R, just the journal bearing 42 (which is what I have) Now from all of them that I have seen (both in the borg and the garrett) run a T6 foot print, in the 1.2x+ AR. My 42 has a 1.38AR T6. So for use on anything smaller then about a 400cid motor you will probably have to change the hot side. I will ask some of my former truck shops about bw part numbers. I also have a holset HT60 off of a Cummins N14, which is bigger yet. I would Say S476 area.

Groovy, anything you can find out would be appreciated.

I've seen a couple different flavors of S475 in the ~$520 range with 1.30 T6 housings. Makes me want to do a 408 in a Mustang.

Yeah got a stock cummins .5mm overbore HG, ARP Studs, and 60# exhaust springs, 4K kit, and some custom sticks 6X16 sticks. Now I just need to find time to put it all in. Alberta is Flat, Windy, and I currently have no Garage, if this wasn't such a good opportunity, I would be back in BC in a hart beat. I am learning the Mobile/Heavy Equipment, AC/Heating business in hopes to start my own thing (again) in a couple years in Kelowna. I am going to try to move again (still in the Calgary area) before the snow fly's to a place with a garage, or if this snap on BS gets dealt with by then, I will just buy a place. As soon as I get a garage, the dodge will go under the knife. I have been toying with the idea of getting a CJ-7 chassis, and swapping the dodge drive train into it, as the dodge body is nothing special, and I am assuming will need a fair bit of work to pass prov inspection.

I have that same thought everyday with the HT-60, I have access to a built 355 (forged rods, pistons, crank, 4bolt mains, world industry heads, ect...) just needs an intake mani, and I need a chassis, tranny, and time. The last one is the killer as I have too much on my plate as is. We will see what the winter / spring brings.
