that would be hard to call a class 1 leak it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in many years. and gaskets will seep over long periods of time clean it up bet it wont come back for a long long time. If it does come back you will have to have the heads milled and the deck of the engine checked...
first off to the guy with the 3126, your truck is governed and shut off electrically at the injectors, fuel pressure is regulated by the hydraulic electric unit injector pump which uses oil pressure to pressurize the fuel in the injectors. it sounds to me like you have a bad fuse or relay. as...
My opinion the duce is just a big oversized pickup, the 5 ton gets in to the commercial vehicle area. My self im partial to air brakes , the duce has an old style air assist hydraulic system. you are only going to have lh drive models they never made wrong side drive (I mean right hand drive)...
That's my 2 cents far easier to replace an electronic engine with a mechanical engine. This is why uncle sam found cheaper to surplus running trucks and replace them with newer technology. The upgrades to tier 4 emissions and the cost of the kits to do the change over would be outrageous
The electronic engines aren't direct drop ins, yes they bolt in in place of the mechanical engines but you have to do a lot of wiring. First off you have to have the engine controller communicate with the trans controller a wire harness for the throttle pedal has to be added and usually you the...
If you have the 170 hp engine don't turn it up ,you are all ready maxing the torque out on the 1544 Allison more hp equates to more torque ,plus at 170 hp you are about 10 hp away from what the internals in the light duty configuration can hold up to reliably. The fmtv engines have different...
I personally wouldn't do it unless it was and emergency but a bio blend properly filtered should be ok. because of the carbon in used engine oil I would not do it period. The other thing to remember is your fuel system is intended for a certain viscosity. get your fuel too thin or thick bad...
First there is a drum brake that needs to be properly adjusted to prevent bird nesting when paying out cable in free spool. the cable must be wound back on the drum with several hundred pounds of drag or its not going to lay on nice and pretty. Remember the duce winch is not a 1 man operation it...
no not a misprint on the commercial trucks they are loaded with safety's and imput's the Allison computer wont let you select a gear until air pressure is built up parking brake is released engine speed is at idle and your brake is on. only than you can select a gear. my 95 I can slap it in gear...
I should qualify this as I'm going off how our kenworths are I think the newer c7 lmtv's also use the usb system. I know for a fact your older 3126 has an ecm and tcm that really don't talk to each other. The military may have opted out of some of the safeties that the civilian market has...
its all inside the ecm there is a brake input for the ecm and transmission operation no need for external wires. for speed sensor or brakes. also the cruise will also become an electronic hand throttle to idle the truck up.
