That looks nice, and it would be good to have a turn signal mounted on the side, these trucks seem to be invisible to most of the drivers out here. Bjorn, was yours a kit or did you fab it up? emmado, yours looks like a kit going by the box on the fender. Any numbers from either of you guys on...

Braided stainless is the norm now. Navistar still uses copper though.

2100 is the loaded governed speed. Unloaded governor break is around 2400 RPM. They will run and stay together up to 3000, but not for long periods of time. They get real quiet at that RPM:shock:

If the head gaskets are the old style, that is a normal mode of failure. Most of the time you'll see no coolant in the oil or vise versa. Sounds like it's time to do them!

Here's a place that makes them. http://www.phillipsandtemro.com/prod_ColdStart.asp

I agree, more info! That would suit my needs better than a tipper deuce. Who made the hydraulics?

If the crack is in the head, i'd just change that. It's easier than a pump.

Welcome! I too am a volunteer at a local museum. Gotta say, it is an awsome experience! Have fun and post some pics:-D

If it is chuffing out the exhaust or popping in the intake, i'd do a valve set first. The truck runs, so the lines are all where they belong. You should have around 7 PSI out of the low pressure pump and 70 or so at the filters behind the pump. Also, make sure it's getting full throttle. Does...

If you can't locate one of the TM's John refd, PM me with an e-mail and i'll send you what David Doyle sent me.

Hey Chris, make sure you put the support on the bottom of the compressor, if not, you'll be changing a gear housing pretty quick.

Also, check to make sure the shut down rod is all the way back in. If it's not, it'll be hard starting.

The same thing that THEROAD said in done in generators too. Like the BIG stand by ones.

If it is emulsified, MAYBE letting it sit a very long time without disturbing it. When oil gets like that, filters go into bypass. It is too gooey to filter out. You could try boiling it...though that could be dangerous..When a truck gets water in the oil and you see the steam comming from the...

Here's my turd.

Download and read the TM's...they are in the TM section under the resources tab...start with TM9-2320-361-10 and the multifuel operators manual. If the op manual isn't there, Idaho Motor Pool has it to download for free. Parts are easily had, Memphis Equipment, White Owl, Antelope Valley T&E and...

Hey madsam, How about smoething like this? The holes in the pan can be easily tapped for pipe and sealed and there would be minimal or no permanent mods to the lube pump. I know it might cavitate, but just don't load the engine and keep the RPM down and keep it in line only long enough to let...

Like I said, it's yours. The Zip is 91016.

HMMMM, BTP has found Steel Soldiers! Hey BTPchad, has your..well, not YOUR, but BTP's customer service changed? A few of us have been there multiple times. IMHO, James is a great guy and extremely helpful, if a person gets anyone else to help them, they get nowhere. It seems that all BTP wants...

I have one. If you can figure out how to get it up to you, it's yours.
