    Converting to dual alternators

    On the contrary, I have an advanced degree in electrical engineering. I have not done this before but I do not see any reason why it will not work. I'd love to debate the merits of the idea if you are up for it. Here it goes: You have two series 12V batteries in a 24V system. The lower...

    Problem spin off oil filter adapter

    Understood but there is no reason why they couldn't have been improved. Keep in mind that there are bypass valves for both the oil filters and the oil cooler which should make this a non-issue. Can you reference your source for the design intent of the oil filters draining back into the pan?

    Turbo part number/ID

    The one that you are claiming is off an LDS427 is a 3LD-305 (have one right in front of me). According to the list that I posted, it is an early LDT465-C.

    Turbo part number/ID

    There have been a lot of posts requesting identification of turbochargers. I don't think that any have been comprehensive or completely correct. I copied the below summary from a thread in the old steelsoldiers site. IIRC, the original poster copied it from a military manual. I added notes...

    Converting to dual alternators

    Why not connect the 12V alternator to the existing, first 12V battery in your 24V system?

    Problem spin off oil filter adapter

    Wouldn't an o-ring have made more sense than a gasket?

    Converting to dual alternators

    So, why do you need a third battery?

    Problem spin off oil filter adapter

    In my opinion, the problem is the paper gasket.

    The best way to replace your headlights is to get the hella H4 kit.

    Turbo ID

    While that turbo has been widely claimed as from an LDS-427, I found a manual indicating that it was acutally an early LDT turbo. I don't have the info right at hand, though.

    The deuce and the HOA....

    I agree that is sounds like BS. Water mains in rural SD are PVC. But, we bury them well deep (~7 feet). Your's would have to be very shallow to be susceptible to damage.

    Why 2650rpm max?

    I found these interesting statement on a tractor website: One other differenc is that the connecting rods are lighter in the truck motors. As J said, some of these ld engines had better crankshafts but not all of them. I have five of these motors and only one has the better crankshaft. I...

    Why 2650rpm max?

    Will this affect fueling rate?

    Why 2650rpm max?

    This is not entirely true. The internal combustion engine "bible" by Taylor indicates that high compression ratio alone is sufficient to enable multifuel capability. The MAN combustion is probably just icing on the cake.
