On the front of the engine is a tachometer adaptor. It connects the cable to the engine. If nothing else works, you might want to look at that. It is covered in TM 9-2320-361-20, section 4-15, pages 4-28 & 4-29.

I don't think it makes any difference if the engine is warm or cold when adjusting. If the rpm changes after bypassing the FDC, you can just readjust it.

Just thought I would add these photos so folks could see where the adjustment rod and nuts are located. Hope this helps!

How to set the idle speed on the LDT-465. This will be a refresher for some and new info for others. The idle adjustment screw is located on the side of the injection pump, below the FDC if so equipped. It is held in place by a 7/16" jam nut. Loosen the jam nut by turning it to the left...

Albert, if you need help Welder Sam has his welding equipment out here. I'm sure he would help as he's been wanting to see your place! :-)

That really looks great- can't wait to see it finished and all put together!

You can change the turbos if you want. I have the "C" turbo and quite frankly it tends to get annoying after driving for a while. People outside the truck say it sounds cool when you drive by. Some members here state the "D" turbo produces more power. Turbos can be found with other members here...

The "C" turbo is the whistler. I'm not sure how to tell by looking at them. You can hear a high- pitched whistle when driving but that's not an option for you now. Hopefully one of the turbo experts will chime in with some way to visually ID it.

Tires can usually be found for about $150 ea. Can you see any signs of leakage on the back side of the wheels? Might tell you if you have a leaking wheel cylinder and where. You can check the fluid level in the master cylinder by looking through the floor panel in front of the drivers seat...

I don't see any thing obviously bad in the pics you provided.

Does it run? Price? Title available? Pics of the engine? If it runs do the brakes work, does it hold air pressure, any obvious leaks or damage, particularly underneath? How does it shift, how does the clutch feel, does the transfer case function correctly? Lots of things to consider which will...

If you're near Boise you might check out www.idahomotorpool.com. Call or stop by and talk to Alex Gordon- I bought my M35A2 there. I think their prices are high, though.

How does one nominate a vehicle for future MV of the month polls?

I agree it's a strange way to check the oil. Hopefully that's all it was- keep us posted if you have further issues.

My oil shows way too high on the dipstick after the truck has been sitting for a day or more. Start it up, let it run for a few minutes then shut it down. Wait one minute, pull the dipstick and wipe it, then reinsert. (Don't screw it back in) Pull it back out and read the level.

Your oil pressures sound normal. If the truck is new to you it might have been overfilled to begin with. Why do you think you're making oil? Does it look or smell funny? I would make sure that is what is happening before I began replacing or changing things that may not need it. Hope this helps.

How are you checking the oil? If you run the engine, shut down, then check after one minute you will get an accurate reading. I found that if I wait longer, the level indicated on the dip stick will climb. I do not have spin on filters and don't know how that affects the issue. This would...

I just used a 3/8" clevis pin and cotter pin- has been working fine for 2 years now!

My deuce has only one bolt that the alternator pivots on. (Besides the slide rail) I just loosened it with a 9/16" box end wrench, pushed the alternator towards the engine to loosen the belts. No need to loosen that back bolt. I know it's covered in the TM's but I don't remember which one.

Jeep- you're right- it's 24052 Marine Corp forest green semi-gloss. Steve- thanks! You da man!! That website is awfully technical ;-)
