Yeah, that's been done different ways by a lot of different people and it's a great idea, and Stover and I were discussing that idea in my build-thread, but there's hardly enough room between the stock fan and the radiator to slip-in anything substantial enough to work. Also wouldn't do anything...

No, not yet. Just installed the new LDS engine and the cab is getting painted. Should be able to start putting it all back together in the next week or two.

Oh I know. Just haven't gotten that far yet.

Hey, thanks again for hooking me up with that valve Bjorn. Installed it on the new LDS engine today, and will probably end up taking it off to clean it up a bit, but it's finally all starting to come together.

Thanks again for all the help. Added this to my build-thread and am re-posting here to help anybody else that's interested and might be searching for this type of info.

Cranetruck posted something in another thread about an amphibious XMsomethingorother with a multifuel engine and that's exactly what they did.

What did you end up using for a regulator? And would you mind posting some details about what you did on your truck, as far as fording kits go?

Yup. Gotcha.

Air-pack vent? Can I tie this into the common vent/pressure lines? Air compressor governor vent? Can I tie this into the common pressure lines? Fuel tank vent? Looks like this need to be vented separately.

I'm getting ready to order a regulator and a manifold, and I'm wondering whether something like this regulator (highlighted in yellow) is a good choice for this application. It's adjustable from 0-25psi and is non-relieving, which sounds important, since it'll be tied into the main air supply...

Well, I satisfied my curiosity this afternoon. I replaced one of the 1/4" NPT allen-plugs with a schrader valve, and then used a bike pump to see if the knuckle could hold any pressure. But the silicone boot blew up like a balloon right away, and I hadn't even use enough air pressure to register...

Thanks for the suggestion on the exhaust pipe there Srjeeper. I did check with Napa and it was going to run me close to $100 for the two bends that I need. Shopping online, I can get those same two pieces of mandrel-bent tubing for less than $50 (including shipping). After I cut & weld one of...

Oh, I forgot the engine intake. I'm going to have a mandrel-bent snorkle made (90-degree bend backwards & angled 45-degrees up, to a 45-degree bend upwards to vertical, to a section of straight pipe that will be capped with a Sy-Klone Series 9000 pre-filter. Not quite sure how tall I'm going to...

So, I'm trying to figure out exactly how I'm going to plumb the air pressure / vent lines and I wanted to get some input before I get into this because I'm sure you guys can help me do a better job with this than I'd be able to manage on my own. I'm thinking that I'll run individual 1/4"...

Thanks for posting about those m656/xm757 trucks cranetruck! I didn't know that it would ever be desirable to build pressure in the crankcase, but I guess that makes sense. Can you please tell me a little bit more about how that valve on top of the valve cover works? I imagine it's selectable...

Hi Ken. I've seen those hoses that you're talking about, but I've also read that you're not supposed to leave that hose attached all the time - because it wouldn't vent / drain properly and you wouldn't want that gunk in your intake anyway, right? As far as positive / negative pressure: Moroso...

Hah. Thanks for the link. I didn't recall reading about the Racor CCV and I even posted in that thread...

I've read through all of the old threads and understand that the fording kits were not meant to be permanently installed, but I would like to build a fording kit that I can leave hooked-up all the time. When it's time to get wet, I don't want to have to do anything more than install the...
