If it was rebuilt at a depot facility, it should have been ran on a dyno to prove hp and check for mistakes, if it was bought through a contractor who knows. most likely it just needs a set of nozzles or a check and adjustment of timing.
Usually its just injectors, but it also could be retarded timing, especially if the pump looks like it had been changed. One other thing could be air in the system, but on the c series if it has any leakage in the supply system you will usually not start with out bleeding the system.
The duce is cool I love the things, like a screaming jimmy listening to a straight pipe diesel with the exhaust exiting next to the passengers door could get old. as for alt fuels you can run them all in a mechanical fuel system jet a with a touch of turbine oil would make a nice mix to...
there are some of the new mrap t cases, but look how much your going to spend. Oshkosh have some plenty stout t- cases to but you have to fit them in place which is no small task. Once you have fixed that weak link what else are you going to break. the only use I could see for an additional low...
the fmtv's aren't all that loud, there is a lot of space between drivers and tc position. I don't think you could ever get am m35 as quiet as an fmtv is in its stock form. There are variables you cant get around , 1 is tire noise and ,2 is the fan when it comes on. At 50 mph the turbo does sing...
That is the outside air intake for the heater. I drive mine on a daily basis here are the noise I notice when the truck starts you here the cat purr at idle, turn the heater on high you can no longer here the cat. Accelerate down the road the turbo whistles, barely noticeable over the heater on...
Welcome from Nome Ak and Thank you for your service. I have been retired from uncle Sam about 10 years now, I cut my teeth on the old m44 series trucks. I had the sickness from basic, ETS'd after my first enlistment and came home. Six months later I got to missing the whistle from the multifuel...
Tthe 2 things I worry about are particulate matter suspended in the oil, and viscosity most injection manufactures will caution you not to mix over 10 percent. I ran a 6 b cummins once on almost straight used motor oil and eventually had to replace an expensive bosch ve pump, my injection guy...
If your fuel filters don't help look at the primary filter housing ,the primer balls are notorious for leaking air into the system, if you get air introduced into the fuel system it will make for short a life for your fuel injectors.
One of the problems we had on the Alaska guard rigs were the th400's shelling out front pumps. I would suggest a change to synthetic atf and a oil pan heater on the transmission. a good electric softplug heater will warm the block evenly and have you ready to start up in a couple of hours, we...
I have a buddy at the local cat dealer truck engines is all he does, I asked about an electronic lift pump and his answer was the positive displacement pump in the 3116 will last a lifetime as long as you don't get air in the system say from a leaky filter housing. it will flow enough fuel to...
There is a heater made in Russia called plainair, I scored one in a trade a few years back, its a good reliable affordable substitute for a 10530. Those in Siberia also know a thing or two about staying warm.
I've been very happy with my lmtv it has given me every thing I want. A quiet smooth ride, a cab that doesn't leak, and air brakes for reliability. I cut my teeth on duces I could likely rebuild one in my sleep, and nothing matches the sound of a whistler multifuel. At the end of the day I liked...
One time we were in a storm it was like -30 and blowing snow, had the arctic heater running on high through the defroster. The wipers would ice up so bad, my assistant driver would have to open his windshield and reach out and bust the ice off my wiper so we could see the next truck in front of...
I would get a pneumatic cylinder and rig it up next to the transmission to pull back ,or push the release fork ,than mount a flipper switch up front to control it with air I have several older fuel trucks in the fleet and that is how pto engagement is controlled from the rear of the truck
same thing, an engine intended for natural aspiration operation, to get like performance at high altitude they a a low boost altitude compensating forced induction system to it. in this case it was a turbocharger in the old r2800 radial engines it was a crank shaft driven blower.
