Rick - a noise converter? LOL ! C’mon man.

Thanks! I’ll see if I can track him down.

No I have pics of the ORD crossmember. Was just curious about how you were going to fabricate yours.

Thanks for your reply. I believe I now understand how it works.

1992 was the last year for a NP241 with mechanical speedometer drive. Those things are as rare as hens teeth. The 241 features pressurized oiling, instead of relying on chain splash. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2268442

Hey Curt please post photos on that replacement crossmember. I may need one myself to clear the girdle of my P400. I’m not concerned about the fuel pump because I am changing to electric pump.

Thanks Mike for your reply. So do you think it will be OK to re-plumb the CDR hose to upstream from the supercharger, downstream from the filter?

No issues related to the strength of a P400. It’s like a 6.5 diesel on steroids. Developed by GEP to power the new upfit HMMWVs but then GEP lost the military contract. So a few of these engines were released to the public. I was fortunate to have acquired one a couple years ago. Forged...

I will update my rebuild thread in the CUCV Hotrodding forum pertaining to the possible supercharger. This thread relates to the function of the CDR valve.

For what it’s worth, Gates 7448 for power steering, 7575 for drivers side alternator, and 7480 for passenger side alternator. These will all be tight. Also, screeching belts are a sure indication of out-of-alignment pulleys. You might want to review my thread on the subject -...

Thanks for your reply. I’m still struggling to understand exactly what the valve is supposed to do. Is it to keep positive pressure in the crankcase or negative? Is the valve set at 5 LBS? is the valve similar to a thermostat but opens upon pressure instead of temperature? So the negative...

I am just now exchanging emails with the fellow at Bullet in Austrailia. I have concluded that the CDR valve will have to be removed in its entirety. I have no problem with this, just need to know what to do about crankcase venting. Don't need vacuum anymore, changing the TH400 to 700R4...

I am considering supercharging my new P400 engine and was wondering what would happen when I completely remove my CDR valce and piping. In thinking about this, I began pondering what happens to the valve when adding a turbo or supercharger, as the additional boost/intake pressure would...

Well the ProCharger will not work. I spoke with a ProCharger engineer on the phone and he informed me that their compressors are designed for high RPMs and would not be beneficial at the low RPMs of a diesel. So I reached out to Bullet Superchargers in Australia...

Rick you ain’t right ........

I've had my Jatonka grille cover for a few years and it really improves the winter-time heating in the cab. I purchased mine directly from John. You can reach him at jatonka@telenet.net . Great guy to work with.

I really like that Redneck grille cover! :p

Yeah I'm tired of catching hail about not turboing this P400 engine. Still not going to turbo it, but got to looking at the Procharger superchargers. They mount similar to an alternator or AC compressor and run off a belt from a crank pulley. Exactly what I've been looking for to keep as much...

For those of you who have followed my rebuild thread over in the CUCV Hotrodding forum, you may know that I am installing a new Vintage Air air conditioning kit. Vintage Air can provide everything necessary to install A/C in our trucks except the custom brackets needed for our dual alternator...

What? Rick going to Washington State? Yeah right! LOL
