    M35 Fire truck WOT 2000 rpm 44 mph ... what's up?

    Thanks Chuck... I did read the TM but I did see differences between my engine and the one in the TM... I have not found a TM specifically for the LD465... thus my series of seemingly endless questions... I have to tread carefully because an apple may not be an apple or vice versa for an...

    Thank you... will try it this am... one more thing,,, is there one more filter or screen either on or at the fuel injection pump or governor that I may have missed? I would hate to go through the settings and then find that my fuel flow was restricted...

    M35 Fire truck WOT 2000 rpm 44 mph ... what's up?

    I am still perplexed.. can I use the manual for the LDT-465-1C/D reliably as the manual for the LD465-1C Also... I keep hearing of how the turbo's are there to reduce smoke and emissions mostly yet when I run my truck, even pedal to the metal, I don't get much smoke... having dealt with heavy...

    OK... hate to sound ignorant... but can't help it... I insist in opening my mouth ... my engine is an LD465IC ... I cannot see the LDS anywhere... and I do not have a turbo... yet... I followed the vent line (after ruining the 90 degree fiting... xmtxtySSSXXX!-now I have to hunt one up) and...

    M35 Fire truck WOT 2000 rpm 44 mph ... what's up?

    Yes, the engine revs up to 3000 rpm for a moment unloaded (according to in truck tach)... this was nasty stuff though... what is that white powdery stuff? and BTW, had I not tried to get it over 44 on the highway I would have never known. She starts before first rev is done and chugs...

    M35 Fire truck WOT 2000 rpm 44 mph ... what's up?

    1236 gal of water... that is a lot of water... I hope I don't have to go to a turbo... I have spent enopugh money just getting the fire valves and pumps working... can't afford turbo right about now. As is, the gov info say that the turbo did not really increase the power, just cleaned up the...

    M35 Fire truck WOT 2000 rpm 44 mph ... what's up?

    Thanks Guys... My plan of attack is going to be: 1. confirm tach is reading right by comparing to outboard digital tach. 2. If 1 is correct, then recheck fuel pressure from prime in tank pump 3. If that is correct, then check all lines to confirm no "squooshed" lines... technical term...

    M35 Fire truck WOT 2000 rpm 44 mph ... what's up?

    will check the gov... she runs smooth... no surging nothing bad happening except ... 44 mph not quite sure how to check the gov but if all else fails I will check settings... I believe I have the TM for that... the thing is... she starts with first spin of the engine anyone off the top...

    M35 Fire truck WOT 2000 rpm 44 mph ... what's up?

    OK... took her out for a good shake-down... starts, stops, runs smooth. New fuel filters, full travel on the injection pump, still max speed is 44 mph and 2000 rpm empty. Plenty of power. Everything looks OK and she feels like she will run until the EOD like this, but I would like to get the...

    OK a little help,,, pump and roll on a fire truck that does not really allow for that

    You know... I have worked more than one "controlled burn" that got out of hand. Honestly, mother nature sometimes just does not take kindly to "control". I will try the electric pump first... looks solid enough... but probably only good for about 20-50 GPM... I suppose that a 500GPM pump on a...

    OK a little help,,, pump and roll on a fire truck that does not really allow for that

    You have to use a stand alone pump and motor. Maybe you could T off the suction side of the tank and switch it from the PTO driven pump to the stand alone pump. Our department just finished converting an M35A3 to a brush pumper with 900 gallon tank. I spent 17 hours in it yesterday and it kicked...
