Re: detroit diesel

Forgot to add: don't believe the nonsense on this engine most is just because mechanics don't like anything not standard and this 4 cycle engine in the 80s was not standard and needed alot of specialty tooling. Did a 10k mile trip in 2021 and had literally zero issues with my 8.2. Warning at this po...

Re: detroit diesel

Mine came with 225hp just was wondering if he has the same as me since mines an oddball that was actually a marine engine fitted with a non truck water pump and uses a couple different unavailable parts such as special valve covers. I have only seen 1 other safari 8.2 chassis was in a junk yard and ...

Re: RVA Jacks bolts

Do you have a part number for poly bushings I'm a big fan of replacing to poly when possible. Just noticed my bushings are completely missing! :shock: I always knew I heard a rattle back there even know the engine is drowning it out.

Re: Removing inner rear wheels, diff seal

Can you list part numbers for front and rear calipers? I've recently replaced my front but I know the rears will need it soon. Also a torque multipler makes this job possible without any impacts or fancy tools. I carry one for emergency situations now. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NPT6172350?cid=...

Re: 1990 safari serengeti - Full Rebuild

so instead of notching the trusses i decided to drill holes in center the only way a screw could ever hit a wire is if a longer than 2 1/2 inch screw is used so i know never to do that now when working on roof. i also doubled up on more of the trusses with the orginal non water damaged trusses becau...
