I'm already old, but thanks!

I can only top my bid with money, I'm on a strange diet. aua

Yes Dave, that my plan. See you perhaps at Dan's after your shopping. [thumbzup]

BTW, Hi Dave!!!

http://homepage.mac.com/stalwart/Stuff/StalwartSplash-0.mov <== same basic drivetrain.

Yes thanks, I know what causes it, I have a engine latch that sets the engine at 1800 RPM but I don't like it because of the noise. I like Dello 400, and Rotella T but NOT in a 2 stroke Detroit, the ash would build up on the valves and piston port and cause grossly excessive wear. Also DD...

I didn't say it wouldn't drive, I said the opposite. They will drive with up to 3 wheel stations blown off! It has a failed: gearbox (bevel box) inside the hull. a bad tracta joint or a wiped out planatary gear set in the hub (least likely). The only other possibility is someone fixed one of...

I misunderstood, yes, that is where I got it. I'd use Delo 400, or Rotella T if I had a choice but Detroit two strokes don't live so long with higher ash oils.

Looks like a Mk. VI with reverse cooling, still won't have much for brakes though. Also looks like he has a tracta or bevel box failure on the right front, the hubs are out of sync. It will drive that way, but only with 5 wheel drive and more carnage to come. :neutral:

I'll give $60 for the NATO cable :) Matt, the Detroits need low ash oil. Less than 1%

Very nice Matt, glad to hear thins are comin' along. I've been noticing a reduction of oil pressure when hot and it feels more like a multigrade than straight 40. I don't like to see 5 psi when hot, common but I don't like it. Luckily a Chevron dist. in Ballard stocks Delo 100 40 for all the...

With the suspension bottomed I bet they bounce a bit! They don't seem to have any within 1000 miles of me so I'd be dreaming of a 10 mile tow. :-D

I gotta do some checks as well, including an oil change. I normally operate the crane at idle and that dilutes the oil with Diesel. Luckily it's only 8-9 gallons of oil, unlike the Cummins I drove years ago that held 15.

LOW compressor RPM is a major consideration. Low rpm means less heat, less wear, longer compressor life and less moisture. Keep your compressor away from the blasting media! My blast cabnet runs my low rpm compressor continuously at 100 psi. As your tip erodes your cfm requirements go up...

My 1953 M211 I bought locally, BEAUTIFUL truck. I hated it and gave it away to haul some Korean War Vets for their parade truck.

I had one of those 290's, what a dog! The turbo only seemed to clean up any smoke. The old 1150 cu.in. Cummins I used to drive with 600 hp, they'd do an 11 mile grade at 6-7% at 60 mph with an 80K load. A 250 needs more than 5 gears!

As stated above either will work if there are no leaks AT ALL! Pushing is better, air being a smaller molecule, will always find it easier to leak in under vacuum than fuel under boost pump pressure. This is why most new vehicles have the boost pump in the tank, that and cooling of the pump motor.

Back in the late 70's, we had a dump truck that had a 250 with an added turbo. With the fuel turned way up it was putting down over 400hp to the rear wheels. That was on a Dyno at a Cummins shop.
