Someone get some engine oil out of the multi, add some WVO and heat it to around 230 degrees and see what it looks like. In one of the above posts, it was stated that he ran on straight diesel after discovering the issue. Was the oil changed then? If so, did the engine "make oil"? Is Bjorn...

Oil is cheap compared to what water does to bearings. Maybe 2 oil changes with a filter at most. If it were an every day driver, getting the oil temps to 250 or so, 1 would do it. To get the oil out of the coolant, go get a small bottle of a "HE' laundry detergent. Use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the...

Was the one you got 24VDC? It will be stamped/cast into the housing by the stud.

I think the Bros out here wanted $200 or $250 EACH fot a wheel/tire combo. As for the air assist steering, they are out there, mostly in pieces. If you take your time, you can round up some parts, but you'll still need to fab up brackets and lines and most likely the pitman arm/controller part.

Mostly home, but sometimes I lurk at work..don't wanna log in there, big brother is watching! :roll: You'd think I work at NASA or something what with all the electronic monitoring going on.

We should put this link somewhere where we can all get to it. Lotsa good stuff! http://www.dynaflexproducts.com/elbows.html

Re: RE: Brazed rocker Yes it is! Notice no oil in the retainer on that cylinder? The push tubes and valve/rocker lever tips get oil from the oil hole in the center of the lever and it runs down over the component to be oiled. I'd replace it or as many that are like that.

Use a bottle jack on the pan rail to hold it up. Seriously, maybe 2 extra hours, depending on how hard...what degree of tree the gasket has turned back into.. the gasket is. Like I said, you're there.

Hey Chuck, I looked at your post like 3 times today and still forgot to get the p/n's you needed, good to see you got the stuff comming. These engines like to leak at the front cover gasket too. It would be a shame to put it all together and have oil oozing out the cover bolts. You are just a...

RE: Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engi I'll get some p/n's tomorrow. As for the wear sleeve, depends on weather or not it's been apart before. Only way to tell, disassemble it.

:ditto: Lots of trucks at MCLB Barstow have them.

Flywheel housings are availabe in the bellhousing size of the trans, or you can use the reducer that comes stock on the LDT. The C is a bit longer, I think by 2 or 3 inches. Ypu'll need to fab the mounts and a fan drive. The RPM is lower on the C, so you'll lose road speed.

Let it sit for a few weeks. Draw off the top until you see a difference in the material you are pumping out. The H2O will hang at the bottom and you'll see it when it starts comming out.

RE: Re: RE: Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engi Make sure you put a new slinger on the accessory drive shaft. It is very important to make sure the adapter is centered and straight on the crank. It can and will break the crank in front of the #1 rod journal. You must dial indicator it.

Anybody know the BTU of the deuce heater?

There is a parts manual in the TM section. I;ll try looking it up onQSOL right now, stand by... The copper gasket should be p/n, 130240..still agood number. FYI, coat the gasket with never seize. It makes future adjustments easier, and sometimes a bit more leak free.

FYI, the B is only 359 cid, a tad smaller than the LDT. If you wanna good engine, try the Cummins C. It is 505 cid and 240 hp minimum.

RE: Re: RE: Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engi Chuck, sometimes the adapters are a biatch to get off as are the bolts. Spray the pee pee out of it and use a drift to smack the head of the bolt. Sometimes an impact won't do it. You might have to use a big ratchet and a cheater bar...

Well, it is just a tad over a month away. I know I have a bit of maintenence to do as does hole. I have PM'd and called some guys. Looks like there will be a good crowd so far. Sorry to say, nay on the shirts...not enough dollars to spare. Maybe by the next trip sometime in late '08, early...

Wow, that is extremely cool. There is a magazine called After the Battle. It is published quarterly...a Brit magazine. It has pictures of places during WWII and comparison pics from present time, European and Pacific theaters. You should check it out. I just picked up the latest edition tonite.
