Andy, Check it with known good master 1st. Is it an NTC or NHC..turboed or not? FFC or non FFC? FFC will have a metal suction tube from the pan to the lube pump located at the LH front of the pan, very short. 40-45 PSI cold 15-20 hot idle is normal, should be 35-40 at road speed, hot or cold...

That's just wrong! GL is treating the horse like a piece of machinery. Donate it to underprivelidged kids or something. Sorry, just an opinion.

SuperchargedRS , I have a set of stock grills and speakers for the rear. Interested? PM me.I can send a pic.

I like the yellow headlights. Wonder if those can still be had?

Glad you had a good trip, sorry I didn't read about it earlier. Very claen truck! Congrats on your journey.

Nice trucks. Parades are fun and the kids really like the trucks.

Wasn't there a post from a guy in AZ. who put a v10 in a deuce?

Well, My 2c, Most all transit busses have a 24VDC alternator with no 12VDC alt. There are 2 systems on most busses, 12 AND 24 volt. They pull 24VDC off of both batteries, and the 12 VDC off of 1 battery, usually 8D series batteries. The 12V operates the faire box, radios, starting system...

Technically, there's still a protective film on the crank journals and bearings in the turbo. Cold, high RPM starts aren't good, but, that's what generator sets do every time they are excercised..supposedly once a month. I have seen at least 200 engines that have been in service a very long time...

What's the picture supposed to be of? :wink:

Like I said before...how come all the good stuff happens back east!! Glad you got it parked..sort of, without any damage.

M109 etc. They would make a great camper. Lots of room and I think they are insulated. Mount an RVQ so it swings out, plenty of room for water tanks, nice size beds. There was a post a while back form a guy that turnd a 109 into a livable RV and he and his wife go all over the USA in it. I think...

Patrick, Great to see you made it back home with no major SNAFUs. ADR did a bitchin' job on the bracket for the alt. More things to add to a road trip tool list, vice, some light strap metal and a hammer! Oh yeah, wipers..maybe that was mentioned b4. How about a small convoy?? Two or three...

Watch the turbo. Remember you said the lube pump dropped down and it ran with no lube. The bearings in the turbo are most likely damaged.

It's clean already. You can braze or solder it.

Mine does the same thing. First stab at the pedal, goes to a mark on the pedal shaft that comes up thru the floor, about 2 1/2 inches from the floor, the brake lights come on when it's almost to that point. Any time after that, the pedal is only 1- 1 1/2 inches from the top of the stroke and the...

Won't be home for the Veterans day weekend, and same as bigmike, nothing close listed, but, I was in the Azusa, Golden Days parade, representing the Azusa VFW post 8070, and this weekend, will be in Baldwin Park with VFW for a parade..bigmike...sorry, wont be able to meet ya at the Militaria...

But smoke is a good thing. That means it runs! No fuel tank is a problem. Will the tank from the 656 work? Shipping might not be too bad if there isn't any in the USA.
