I just did mine - you are right, they are 1 5/8. The 1 3/4 will fit and the clamp will be able to keep it sealed (several members have done that). If you decide to re-do it, I have some leftover new 1 5/8 blue hose and I can cut you two pieces if you can wait for the mail to arrive.

Just curious - the instructions I received for the new style headgaskets were " dry install, step-by-step torque to spec and no retorque required".

Man, that aint happy days. As for blow-by, it has been reported that, even after a good and thorough rebuild, these engines will still have blow-by. Some more, some less. I fully agree with the line of testing that you began. Compression and leakdown for starters. I am not sure that...

Farmer friend with big a** tractor and pallet forks!

All the info you need....http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?75970-Turbo-Rebuild-3LJ-319-%28Whistler%29

I got the truck ready for engine removal. Everything is disconnected, the four engine mount bolts are out and engine and tranny are coming out tomorrow afternoon! I slightly damaged the rad when I took it out...should have removed the brush guard first....I ripped several small fins. Need to get...

I admit, I never used the -P manuals, but they are indeed helpful. Thanks for that reminder. The M35A2 has 8 engine mounts (isolators): 4x NSN 19207 7538641 (upper mount) 4x NSN 19207 7538640 (lower mount) The info is in TM9-2320-361-34P and can, for example, be found at...

"The bugs are all out. Performance is proven." On the LDS-427. Love it!

Ready to start engine removal. What to do about the old-age senile isolation mounts? I see left ones on an auction site (right and left are different sizes...) and they do not feature prominently on any vendor's list. Are there generic replacements that will work as well?

I have just finished my LDS rebuild and I was very attentive to spot the details and differences mentioned here, compared to the LDT. Let's be precise here: I am an amateur and have torn through the innards of exactly 1 LDS (Continental factory rebuilt before) and 1 LDT engine for a rebuild...

Thanks for the flashback to me being young and stupid - I drove a big dump truck for forestry road construction as a summer job and, with the bed up, I checked the hydraulic tank and found, gosh, it was way low. So I added a 10 gallon drum of hydraulic oil and filled it to the FULL mark. Guess...

RobDuece, what is the tank capacity? I guess there are less and less members even in the VFDs that can drive these trucks properly... Our department does not consider re-built apparatus as being new, so we really have no way of using a surplus truck.

TM 9-2320-361-20 shows the splined part of the shaft (the "inner" piece) as being attached to the rearmost yoke....but there is no mention that it has to be that way. The graphic/description applies to all propeller shafts, except the intermediate shaft on an M36A2.

Or, IF the new ones hold up, you will post only in a few years! :D

Can we see a pic of the data plate? Is it an original M109 w/w? Very nice looking truck. I also like the delineator panels....probably spent some time in Europe? No lollipop turn signals, though. Air assist steering...very nice!

How much oil are we talking about? My shutoff cover always contains a small amount of lube oil, perhaps two or three spoons full. It does not leak because the O-rings and the cover gasket are new. I put this down to normal IP lubrication. I can see this leaking out with a defective gasket or...

Ok, So I will modify my fix. I can use the washer that I welded onto the pipe flange to mimic the smaller hole; I will just remove the nut and bolt setup that closes off the hole in the washer. Thanks, rusty, for the clarification and the wonderfully clear schematics!! I had interpreted the...

I am rebuilding an LDS and feel your pain! Logically, you need fuel, air and compression for the cylinder to fire. I agree - I would check compression (seeing the injector needs to come out again anyway). Then check that the injector squirts fuel (or wrap a shop towel around the end of the...

Also check air filter for critters.

Someone has an LDT open and can take a peek or shoot a pic?
