Ok here is the deal, I see a lot of people who post threads for a question that doesnt get answered or doesnt make sense or for whatever reason just doesnt get noticed. Well here is a thread that with any luck will be made a sticky and can be used to ask whatever you want OBS related. Engine, Trans, Axles, Interior, Exterior, performance, Anything you want

So ask away guys. I know a little bit of stuff and hopefully the guys who know more will chime in

Hey is the 460 five speed tranny the same as the diesel one my truck is a five speed and third gear syncro is goin bad and a buddy has one that was behind a 460 and will cut me a deal on it if it will work

[kanuck15]

They arent the same, the bellhousing is different as well as some of the gear ratios are different.

How hard is it to get the fuel system re-primed after changing the injector seals??

[kanuck15]

the fuel system is just like when it runs outta fuel. the trickey part is priming the oil system. If its got oil and you refill the fuel bowl when you reinstall it the truck will go. might take a minute but it will go

EDIT: dont drive the truck far as its gonna stutter and stumble as the air gets bled out of all the systems, run it around the block till your comfortable and its reliable then go on a good 50mile cruise to really belch the last of it

does any one know where i can get the intake spider to run pipes for a sd intercooler

[kanuck15]

Ebay is a start, craigslist has them. Unless you want to buy the banks piping kit no one sells them as a whole. its kinda a piece together as you go type deal. Keep an eye out in the classifieds on here they pop up.

here is a link for OBS pipes
