    Oil in Deuce's Exhaust Manifold.

    CLay, Yes low speed light load running will make it smoke. The turbo needs to get hot enought to seal. Don't drive it like you stole it. But give it something to do. About 3 miles if working will clear it right up.

    My possible return to the M/V world! M1008 Question.

    My M1028 has two redtop optima's. But not all red tops are created equal. There is a cheezy model. It will have the side post mounts at the outer edges. These redtops have less cranking amps than the others with the side post close to the middle. Even if it has these it would be enough to start...

    upgrading the LDT/LDS air compressor

    Jesse, I run air tools off of my M35 alot. I got a 12 gallon portable air tank and plumbed it into the line. I then set the engine RPM's at 1500. I have enough power to run my 3/4 drive impact to remove all 6 lugnuts. The engine will refill the air tanks while i'm moving the tire or what ever...

    intake noise reduction with a cold air tube

    I got a airfilter housing from a 92 civi truck. The intake opening is much larger and i noticed a small increase in seat of the pants power. I'm looking for a hose to run it to the rad support now. Although it did reduce the noise alot on it's own.

    M1031 dead: where do I start?

    Beanman. That it where the fuseable link is. The part he needs to test. If that link is burnt. Then running the wire there won't tell him much. The alt power out wire will put power to the harness. I wouldn't run it this way. Just use it for a test. If this is his problem. Then he would need to...

    M1031 dead: where do I start?

    To test if the fuseable link is burnt. Run a 10gauge wire. And NO LESS than a 10 gauge! From the 12v positive side of the first battery, (The one closest to the head light) to the power out post on the first alternator. Everything should come on. If not then you have a bad ground. Make sure the...

    Best oil for older M37?

    I've been working on this myself. It seems the newer oils have lower zinc content. This presents a problem for solid lifters. valvoline makes a high zinc oil just for old engines. I've sen it at the hotrod shop here in town. So far we have been using straight 30 castrol. with no probelms.

    rebuild a 6.2 or a 6.5 injection pump

    You'll have to be more specific. Are you talking the DB-2 pump vesres the DS-4 pump? The DS-4 is eletronic. And a major piece of crap!! The DB-2 will flow plenty of fuel. Even with the marine injectors.
