Has anyone tried running a Cummins with no muffler, just pipe?
The outlet broke off of mine yesterday.
I reads TedGs fix and may have to try it, but I wonder how the truck would sound without it.
Sorry, I can't find it right now. I need to go to work.

Good luck!
The Rediline makes a sound similar to a 1/2 hp electric motor with no load on it.
I've only experimented with it, running a light & a 3/8 drill, not run it under a full load. I got it from a locksmith who used it to run a fluorescent light & a key machine.

Thanks George!
Yup! Those are the attaching points for the hood & access (filler) panel arctic blankets. See my avatar. There are laces on the blankets which go through those "clips".
I'm not near my trucks, but I beleive you can use a common 3/4" pipe plug for the differential.

FYI- SeaBees got several Internationals in 'Nam in 1967-1968. There was a shortage of M37s & 715s. I think the fleet Navy & the Air Force had them too.
Never saw any with Marine markings, but who can say.............
