Message: [QUOTE="MeTo, post: 1511351, member: 23681"] Thanks for the replies. My intent with this endeavor is not to waste money or time, we could be boondocking. My truck is not a DD, it just pulls our light converted aluminum cargo trailer, which I converted into a solar boondock camper. I have had it in Yellowknife (NW Territory), a lot of Crown land in Canada and each year it pulls the camper from WI to the SW Arizona desert and National Forests in the west in the summer. So, it gets a lot of miles in some very remote areas; often with no bars on the phone. Because of that and my wife takes the truck and pulls her camper with it too, I need to know for sure that it's as reliable as I can make it. Ideally, if I don't fine anything menacing inside, I will rering, reseal new injector cups with Loctite 620 for Cat ELC compatibility, do some reliability mods, new hoses/belt, replace oil cooler cartridge/orings, new LPOP and reseal everything using the Ford gasket set. The injectors are Alliant ACs with ~35,000 miles on them, they are good to go. With some luck, I should know without ANY doubt, the engine is rock sold. I have already been through everything else in the drive train. As for replacing the DMF/clutch, Corey (CNC Fab) talked me into the SB 144-50KHD, not the 144-50K. Of course a new throw out bearing, bronze pilot bushing (self cut), fork and ball stud. I'm thinking about attaching a small steel tube/zerk on the clutch fork to grease the ball stud from the outside? No rocket science anticipated? In the end, reliability, not cheap is the objective.
