Glad to hear that the truck will continue to live! I do not hold insurance companies in high regard and it is nice when they give you what you paid for. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

The governor is replaceable with NAPA #H284358 that is reported to work fine. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/TWRH284358 Before embarking on the compressor adventure, would it help to simply add an air tank or two? More volume, more buffer for run time, especially if you do not run high volume...

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the aborted test flight and hard landing. Hopefully that is the only damage and a relatively quick fix. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Johan, look at post #7: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?54195-Super-low-oil-pressure-M35A2-multifuel

From the back of my head, non-TD block torque is 132 ft lbs, TD is 157 ft lbs. Both with sequential torquing to these values.

Starting to look like a truck again!

Lifting the front end on the frame and letting the axle hang might give you enough clearance to get the pan out. Safe working practices recommended. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Negative. Not off a 5ton. It is an early turbo for the LDT and it should have 12 blades. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?61801-Turbo-part-number-ID

From what I experienced, I definitely agree with the "retorque" crowd. As I said, new style gasket, followed the torque sequence, run it a few times and all nuts were unequal. Some looser then others but all were significantly backed off from original specs. No wonder the gasket would start...

I usually keep boost in the 7-10 psi range. Very rarely do I not pay attention and the D turbo happily boosts up to 15. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I retorqued mine (new style head gasket) with no ill effects. The head nuts were certainly loose, after correct install and a few hundred kilometers and hot/cold cycles. I was quite surprised. Still...gasket is seeping. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

3K for a recore...run and buy a brand new OEM radiator for a grand....3 HUNDRED for a full recore....acceptable.

The Canadian War Museum in Ottawa also has a copy.If all you want is paper, perhaps you can borrow and copy it?

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?8460-Front-axle-seals-and-boots-stepXstep Yes, common. Cork can shrink or maybe had never been cut to fit properly. The outer seal is the one that lets the gear oil leak out.

Yup, some of us just attract the mangy three legged one eyed orphan dogs. Not much you can do about that. Say no? I have a soft spot for the little cranes. Hopefully I can find one one day. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Late last night I had one eye still half open when an episode of "Junkyard Empire" aired. They took what looked like a pristine M35A3 with about 5k miles on it and converted it into a "bobbed" single axle camper. Ostensibly "for a client". Well, it is a reality show. So, now, knowing that they...

Thanks for that. I did not think any batteries today still came with acid. It used to be common.

Too nice...it hurts....too clean....it looks classy and pretty....like the imaginary "M3500" (the civilian upmarket version of the M35A2; like M998 and Hummer H1)

Beat me to it. No acid required in today's automotive batteries. The acid is formed in the battery, you add distilled water only.

It's your truck trying to tell you something. Maybe it dreamt of MRAP rims and tires! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
