:ditto:except for the gloves, I use multiple rags,tape and wood. A 24VDC spark is like arc welding. I always wash up after handling lead acid bats. I have been doing truck stuff as far back as I can remember, including when 24VDC was standard on trucks. It still scares the pee pee outa me...

Bitter So Cal winter...rofl I'll go with ya. That 35 degree stuff makes my bones ache! I saw there is a fire up there as of last night. How's it progressing?

Yes sir, they do. If there were none, the oil in the engine wouldn't stay there, it would leave via the turbo compressor and turbine housings and gaskets and seals in the engine cause the manifold pressure would pressurize the crankcase. The attached pic has the seals, on the right and the...

All above points are good. Bring a lug wrench, one of the trailers I got had finger tight lugs. Here's the hitch and trailer set up I p/u with.

You have to get the numbers off of the tag on the turbo and just about any turbo rebuilder should be able to get the kit. My local place gets them for around $100.00

I got mine today, so far this is the FINEST issue(s) since DD took the reigns. Thank you Mr. Doyle!

Just a heads up. WE NEED WOOD. Hole or myself usually bring wood for fires, but, there has been little construction goin' on around here, so I am low and hole has some, but not enough to do 3 or 4 days. NO PALLETS! The BLM has serious issues with them as do I due to the nails..GOD I hate flats...

As slow as it's been at work and with the no pay days, I might just leave here fri. AM. Jake got his DL so he can drive up sat. sometime. Guess I better start looking at the truck :wink:

If you have an angle wrench you don't need to move the radiator. Make sure the cable has smooth bends in it when you route it.

If there were something FUBAR about the turbo, I'd take it apart and fix it. That little peanut won't hurt a thing. I have seen rags go through turbos and not hurt them on both the compressor and turbine sides. If you believe the peanut is an issue, take the housing off and clean it out. They...

Run it! They won't hurt anything.

There should be no leaks around either one of those spots. If there is evidence of dirt sticking to a film of oil at the CC vent of the oil filler cap, it means the gaskets/hose and cap are no good, maybe from being hard. That indicates lack of use.

When it's cold, as in sitting overnite or longer..mostly in the early AM while the ambient temps are down, raise the hood and look for cold water leaks. The leaks appear depending on temps and the torque on the hose clamps and seal up once the engine builds a bit of heat. As stated prior, the...

There is a governor on the firewall right next to the air filter. Is the air comming from the vent hole on the governor?

I love stories about recovering old pieces. In the latest After the Battle, there's an article on recovering a Stewart from under the street over in europe.

The throttle shaft screw only increases fuel pressure and doesn't mess with the governor..you need to put a stinger or a button in it for that. I agree though, a non piston cooled engine will not last too long when loaded and the fuel jacked up.

I just thought about this. On these engines, the piston has small chamber in the top. That means the valve hits squarely on the piston, unlike the NHC. Most of the time in engines that have this type of piston, the valves don't bend, just the push tubes, that's the weak link built into the...
