it was shiny. he cleaned it and its raining today so i think the moisture in the air got to it. im anxious to see if that fixed it. dont know if we will get it together tonight or not. have to put the oil pan back on and the front of the motor back together.

bearing came from mansfield bearings incorporated. hes still putting it together and im heading over there after i eat to lend a hand. either i or him will post what the out come is. hopefuly it works because neither of us can find anything else wrong.

heres pictures

heres some pictres of the ldt with the front cover removed and the oil pump idler gear with the loose bearing

we may have found the noise. the bearing in the oil pump idler gear is loose. going to replace it and try again.

why not just hook to one bttery for 12 volts? saves alot of trouble!

now that i look at the picture better and think about it the turbo usualy doesnt leak outside. i agree with will you need to look for an external leak or if it is coming out of the road draft tube you have some bigger engine problems.

you need to have your turbo rebuilt or find a new one. a runaway is when your engine starts sucking the oil in and running on it and there is no way to stop the engine unless you can kill it with the clutch or brakes.

the cable doesnt come out of the back of the gauge. u must take it loose from the engine and feed it through the fire wall. you will loose coolant when you remove it from the engine also so the system has to be drained down.

is there a tarp place near you? usualy a place that makes boat covers or truck tarps can sew them.

i went the other route. i sold a snowmobile and camaro to get deuce money!:-D have to wait for the ground to freeze or dry out before i can bring it home though.:cry:

oooooooo 6bt? i wondered if they made it into military vehichles too! are these rare trucks?

you really dont want to draw fuel from the very bottom of the tank because thats where the condensation and any debris that may have acidentaly gotten into the tank will lay.

if you ran it dry you probably sucked all the debris into the fuel filters that was laying on the bottom of the tank which got stirred up by the low fuel sloshing around. may be a in tank pump issue but i would try filters first.

whens the last time you changed fuel filters?

ive mounted quite a few semi tires and i believe the guy is rite. the radial tire flexs more which is why they take different tubes but i think the liners should be ok.

thanks for the help!

that would be great. ive just started looking. anything i should watch for? im pretty mechanicaly inclined so a project really wouldnt scare me.

those are nice trucks. i hate hearing these stories though. this economy is hurting everybody.

any idea of his hours?
