    Electric fan for Deuce

    Sorry Rick, your idea just doesn't hold water. Heat flows from hot to cold at a rate proportional to the difference in temperature. The hotter the coolant gets the slower the rate of heat transfer from the engine to the coolant. Slow down the flow of coolant, and you agravate the problem...

    Electric fan for Deuce

    I've done testing with normal thermostat, high flow thermostat, and no thermostat. The operting temperature decreased with each step. Magzines have done the same tests. The thermodynamics agree with t. Yet, somehow, this myth will not die.

    How do you paint your Deuce?

    I noticed it at our local farm store and like the color better. Plus, it is available in quart cans. Anybody know if I can spray this with a wagner gun?

    lds wastegate turbo on an M35

    Schwitzer 4LE-456; 11641831-1. Divided inlet; each half feeding 360° of turbine. The diffuser has vanes. Appears to have the same turbine as the 4LE-354 but has a larger diameter 60mm inducer and taller exducer blades.

    lds wastegate turbo on an M35

    Schwitzer 4LE-354; 10945184. Wastegate turbocharger. Divided inlet; each half feeding 180° of the turbine. There appears to be two different compressor inducer sizes. This one is 57mm, my other (with damaged turbine) is 54mm.

    lds wastegate turbo on an M35

    Actually, I was going to slightly turn down the fuel and be happy with it. However, I just bought a brand new 4LE-456 (LDS-465-2) turbo for relatively cheap. That turbo has a larger diameter compressor inducer, taller blades at the exducer, and a vaned diffuser. Gonna try this one next. I...

    lds wastegate turbo on an M35

    it took some patience, but I found a rebuilt 4LE-354 (LDS-465-1A) turbo and installed it recently. It does make a difference. With the 3LM-39 (D-turbo), the boost came up quick but so did the EGT. My FDC is compensated, and going up a hill, I would have to take my foot out of it pretty...

    Remind tech support that they're not dealing with a small block chevy cooling system.

    Electric fan for Deuce

    The thermostat in the multi is used to balance coolant flow between the radiator for cooling and recirculation back through the engine to prevent hot spots; I suggest keeping it. You really have nothing to gain by removing it.

    Electric fan for Deuce

    Hopefully not too far off topic since I believe that objective is noise reduction... Has anyone tried the nylon engine driven fan?

    Deuce 2'' reciver install

    What is the load capacity in the vertical direction? Just thinking that with a significant drop hitch that not all of the force will be in shear.

    Why don't you buy one of the cheap $50 pumps from a popular online source?

    Plastic Fuel line help

    The manager at the NAPA where I bought my DOT air brake line found a reference in the parts book that their DOT line was compatable wtih diesel. YMMV.

    Front Axle not engaging?

    I've taken apart three sprag transfer cases. In each one, the forward sprag was worn out but the reverse was fine. You COULD use two reverse sprag sections to make one good set. But, then you have to find and pay for another sprag transfer case. I agree that it is better to move to an air...

    Front Axle not engaging?

    The airshift and REB modified transfer case are "locked in". The sprag is not.
