I have 10 "like nearly new wheels and tires" here in London U.K. If you want to investigate shipping.

For a moment I thought "ALL" the way from Manchester? to Rochester (Lancashire to Kent U.K.!) Good luck with the mission, It sounds like there is some great member cooperation being applied.

Thank you, Outvoted again..OK the fuel density compensator stays out of circuit. I will however fit the manifold heater unit back in as 5 tonne's are loath to start in the cold without it, and sometimes not in the warm either. (Not engine warm..the climate from a 'coldish start).

Nice truck and a great acquisition. It almost looks like there is no window in the drivers side?, Or it's very clean..if not..it must have been a breezy cold? journey home. Did it come with the rails and canvasses?.

Well that is quite correct (actually). GUN BUS!.

The fix included all return lines as well. I am going to re-fit first, The manifold heat start unit. I will then re-fit the fuel density compensator. I also have thank young Brad, (the cadet 'helper') for actually re fitting the piping as my 'pains' lately have rendered me almost immobile. No...

Parade! Line up. 'Ten Shun. Thank you all who advised me (in this thread saga) on the dreaded 'lumpy' running problem. Now I think about it, this problem has plagued that truck for over two years. Striding 'down the line' (of members), I award each and every one of you, This months Persistent...

Ok. Thank you all for further advices again. Today Despite the pain in my back, I, Bypassed the fuel density compensator, Bypassed the Manifold pre heater. (The in tank is a new Higher pressure aircraft type). The truck started and idled the best ever and really strong. Revs better than it ever...

You should have perused the performance figures before trying your best to destroy the engine. As said you are rather fortunate..As, If the governor had been set incorrectly or for any other reason the limiter was not working, It sounds you would have quite happily soared up to 11000 rpm (or...

Golly! I had not listened to the video noise before, And now that I have And seen all that blow by*..Plus is it really shaking that bad?, And bits of metal?..There is something Seriously amiss inside that engine. My bet is when you carry out the checks recommended by DavidWymore on the...

What a fantastic job you are carrying out. That truck will look great any way you do it. Your Way!.

You obviously have the necessary skills so go for an 8x8!. If it is not good to use for you I would bet there are plenty out there who would jump at the chance to own it. Coachgeo's comments apply.

Changed and checked all the lines. Bypassed the hydraulic head..bled it..And it ran stronger than before. For the same duration, Started hunting and running lumpy..Then stopped.. I'm beat! Bled it. Same again!. I have ordered a Cummins 280 H.P. Turbo C series (non electronic) Engine. Over the...

Thank you. I will report back after I further work into this problem later today (It already being 12-20 am) I will be checking all the points further suggested.

Thank you for the advices..but if the fuel line fitting was leaking, would not fluid under pressure be seen to be leaking under pressure there? The in tank pump and hoses are new "aircraft" types. The line from the top of the tank is solid copper, and if there was a hole in it, then surely the...

I must be dozy..where is that 'bolt' on the 'primary filter' ..primary? filter is that the one on the side of the 5 ton chassis? I am checking every and all suggestion

Thank you for that, I am replacing more pipes as in the ones associated with the fuel density compensator. Never could fathom out which what all those pipes do..they just seem to go round in circles. I have had a long held belief that the air in the system is, perhaps, coming via that fuel...

Thanks all for the suggestions. One point of note. The fuel at the first filter bleed (on the left as looked at the engine) chucks fuel out when opened...like.....frothy coffee!. the plastic pipe from the hydraulic head that loops round and back under the steering column (to the supply) did...

I have an RPM problem with the 5 ton M54a2 running all over the place..sometimes ok sometimes stops sometimes runs lumpy and then usually stalls out. we changed the in tank pump to an all singing and dancing aircraft type replacement. changed all the filters, and the hydraulic head. Then the hi...

Everything else but the 'noise' seems in order and easily serviced. Compared to some of mine your looks super clean. Have you got to the root of the noise problem yet?, That. IS the first (and most important) job to get assessed and sorted out.
