    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    You were a big help and I couldn't have done it without you. I would be taking the engine out in pieces and putting it in in pieces if i had to do it myself. Or rented a backhoe for a weekend... it would have been dangerous and horrible. I'm thankful to have a friend like you. Thanks bud! How I...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Just a couple pictures of the engine swap. Glad its done. So if anybody needs engine parts, let me know. 3-ring LDS pistons/rings/liners with only 2000 miles going cheap! So everything in a nut shell... I didn't change anything on how I did the builds. Honed the cylinders the same, oiled the...

    Homemade Deuce tow bar system.

    That is what happens when you buy military trailers. Ask me how I know. My M109 is a mobile shed.

    Deuce with Cummins 6BT Info thread

    I wonder what the rear motor mounts look like. I believe bell housings have SAE mounts that have 4 bolts/studs, then the "legs" mount to those to hang the engine in. If that was the case that somebody wanted to put a 6BT or other engine in a deuce, would they use the cummins bell housing with...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    ALWAYS! Eventually you replace everything and repairs seem to slow down for a bit. They did for me anyway. That is why I wanted to do head gaskets. I would have to do them eventually, might as well do them now while I'm down on the ground getting beat by this truck. The tables are turning soon...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I hope so as well. It is a lot of work to have it not go as expected. Please keep me/us/the thread updated on your results.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I hope so... I'm still looking to figure it out. Soon as I do, I can drop pistons in.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    The original rings I took off the pistons are smooth on both sides, unlike this style which is only smooth/flat on one side.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I cant find in the manual which way the oil control ring goes on the piston. It seems castellated or had raised parts on the rings on one side... similar to how a castle nut would be. The other side of the rings are smooth. Does anybody have insight as to the orientation on the piston? SEE...

    Someone hit my truck!!

    Try pulling it forward a couple feet. the tandems will not always be in line as they have a little "wiggle room". driving in a straight line 10 feet or so should straighten them out. Your right front tandem tire looks bent or something. Check all of your suspension to see if anything is bent though.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    With mine, I had no signs at all of head gasket leakage. I had two other people look at it and no signs of leakage on the gasket or the surfaces. I really really hope you had better luck than me. What is your plan for a break in procedure?

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    You have the new style LDS pistons with 2 compression rings and one oil ring, right? I hope you had better luck than I did. I wish i was there to see you fire it, test drive and look for blowby. I would also do a leak down test on your engine. It just bugs me with all the work I did, I couldn't...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    They advertise on this site and this is how they treat their customers? I say boot them out for a month and kick user name "Country" (Dave) off the board too. Dave is the guy that makes posts here telling people in the parts wanted adds that he has the parts they are looking for but will cost...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I just got an email from Steve who is the General Manager at Eastern Surplus who said that their description and part numbers on their site are correct when they are clearly not even when I corrected them with the TM. If the description is correct that it fits LDT pistons as well as LDS...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    With head gaskets, i thought with the amount of miles I put on it, I want the upgraded ones. Since i was that far, pulling pistons is easy. Plus I had the rings but I later found out that the rings were not a complete set with one cylinder being different from the others. I am still waiting on...

    Tire tread life

    Those tires are getting tired. If you only use it offroad and it will no cause a major problem if it pops, then I would get my money out of it. I have ran them down to where one was bald on the rear. Most of the time I was empty and only had 35 psi in the rears. If you are not on road, I would...

    Whistling from fuel tank

    Does it make the sound with the truck off? It could be our electric fuel pump located inside the tank. Your squirt bottle will not help because one line is fuel pressure and the other is return. If they were leaking, you would see fuel leaking. Check your drain valves on your air tanks to make...
