Perplexing... As pretty as that plate and shift fork dogs are, with none of the top plate components being obviously bent, loose, gone, or stuck, or the fork tips being excessively worn, if you can freely slide 1/R gear back and forth on the mainshaft, and can slide 2-3 and 4-5 syncros home both...

Please let us know what you find.

Yeah I see some rounding, but doesn't look bad to me. Gringeltaube is the guy who's opinion I'd really want on the subject. Maybe PM a pic, and ask him.

Hard to say at exactly what pressure a given engine might start blowing seals etc.. What I do know is that I had a bad oil pressure regulator that would allow pressure to spike and bounce the needle on an 80 PSI gauge after a cold start. I have the Jatonka Spin-on filter kits and it would still...

White Owl Parts had the new shift fork and some other stuff I needed when I rebuilt mine... http://whiteowlparts.com/ Boyce Equipment had the best deal on new main shafts at the time (not sure if they'd have new top plate stuff)...

I've always been partial to the Stewart Warner Deluxe series mechanical gauges. I've had great luck with them, and the bezel shape matches the OEM gauges perfectly (which were Stewart Warner back in the day anyway)... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sww-82323

Thanks Simp!

Hey Simp... what is DDC? :unsure: What I come up with in my normal vernacular doesn't sound right... Doggie Day Care Drunk and Disorderly Conduct Dunkin Doughnuts Corporation Digestion Disruptive Chimichanga Defensive Driving Course Dirty Deeds Contractor Please 'splain :)

Also, power converters/reducers (i.e. 24v-12v) can buzz some... if'n you have one.

I take it your low air warning buzzer is completely, totally, disconnected, and therefore you can hear said humming?

In my experience, another place fuel on the outside of the IP can come from is simply loose injector lines at the head, but that aluminum reference plate on top of the head makes it a PITA to determine where the leak is coming from. I took that plate off, and have marked the line #'s with an oil...

There are tons of places for oil to leak on the driver's side... valve covers, the oil filter base, the tappet cover, the oil cooler, etc. But, if the oil seepage is coming from between the heads and engine deck, then yes, it's most likely passing by the head gaskets. This is often called...

The folks at Big Mike's and Erik's are great people, and great vendors for typical surplus maintenance stuff, but, in my experience, when I need an oddball part like a pinion yoke or shift fork, nobody beats White Owl Parts. Great customer service every. single. time. and fair prices for parts...

If it's not getting the excess fuel from the IP, and no flame heater, the other fuel source it could potentialy draw from is crankcase oil through leaky turbo seals (as cattlerepairman stated). You can check by pulling the little hose section from the front of the turbo and looking at the...

I've been informed by many of your posts, spanning many years, and I'm pretty sure you've climbed more than a few "mountains" yourself ;) (Thank You Clinto).

Kinda doubt the leak you describe would have much of an effect on pressure. Be advised, there are 2 versions of oil pressure regulators... referred to as "early" and "late" model. The housings are visibly different between models, and, IIRC, the spring caps vary in length from one model to the...

That's the oil pressure regulator. If the engine has been shut down and given time to drain, you can pull it off without fear of drowning in oil (have a little pan handy just in case). I've made a gasket for one in the past, not too awful tough if one isn't available from a vendor. Try just...

Nevermind... I wish the best for you and the truck.

Fantastic. Thanks for suggesting yet another option instead of spending $50+ for a NOS unit that may very well end up in the scrap pile in a few months. :-D

Many of us have not had good good luck with the longevity of the stock flasher units (downright, absolute crap in many cases) but have had great success with a civvy replacement... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-deuce-this-week.67703/page-396#post-2139472 IIRC...
