Are those FMF High Revs on the '87?

That question is like asking why there are many different engine options for a class 8 truck. They are commercial trucks with fleet use being one of the markets that is targeted. If you owned a fleet of trucks would you want to pay for service people that need to be able to work on more than one brand of engine? The answer is no. You would want everything you owned to be the same or as close to the same as possible. Cummins's engine sales is base on reliability and customer following of their larger engine lines. However, they are atleast one generation of technology behind International (Ford) and Isuzu (GM). The key to the reason the Ford engine is so much better is its new variable vane turbo. GM will have a similair set up on their Duramax's within the next year.

The new Ford 6.0 liter Powerstrokes are the best light truck diesel on the market currently. If you have to older to around '99 then it will be a tossup between Ford and Dodge. The downside to the older dodge is that they are loud as hell and have head gasket issues later in life.

Dennis Kirk ships for free if you spend more than $100 though. You gotta remember that. It usually makes their prices competitve with everyone else.

I don't recall getting a picture, but then again I forget things. I got your message right before the forums went down. How much were we talking for the pipes and silencers? Could you tell me a little bit more about them?

I also need a black chain guide and chain slider. A good stock style rear carrier would also be great. I need A-Arm spindles as well.

I need an engine. Let me know what ya got. Also before the forums went down I was talking to someone about a set of FMF High Rev pipes. I am still interested. Let me know if you have them still or if anyone has a pair.

You don't need to know how to weld to fix the pipes. TIG welding would be ok, but if I were the buyer I would braze them. It doesn't take as much heat to do so you won't mung up the chrome as much.

How much for the motor?

I might. Shoot me a couple pics in an email and tell me whats wrong with it.

Do you have anything left for sale?

Still for sale?

What kind of FMF pipes?

How much for the shocks, axle, motor, front brake lines and clamps?
