    Fording Kit Question

    How deep are you planning to go? Rember that cat motor had some eletronics controlling it. First you will need to make sure they are eather water tight, or relocated. You won't need the bellhousing pressurized like the A2. You have a auto tranny. You will need to run vent lines from each gear...

    5 ton bridge truck find

    Tom, It will fit in the driveway. Just push harder on the throttle. Your going to need a bigger backyard to turn it around though.

    still problem going over 55 mph

    Is this a 1009? or a 1008? Also check the lift fuel pump. At the passenger side front of the engine block by the oil pan. The diafram could be torn and not pumping well. Starving the IP. A replacement is $15 at the autoparts.

    Rear seals front hubs.

    Strech, Thanks, I changed the boots also thinking that was part of my problem. Looks like the outer seals will do the trick.

    how to identify LDS & LDT injection pumps

    The LDS will have the starter on the drivers side. Along with the large sump of the oil pan at the rear of the engine. The LDT will have the starter on the passenger side. And the large sump at the front.

    planning an LDS swap

    Yes, You might just have a LDT with the oil pan swapped around and a bigger belhousing. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, But the camshaft and Injection pump are the same. The Difference on the pump is the fuel rate setting. There are one and two hole injectors. Meaning there are one or two...

    planning an LDS swap

    They originally did. But one thing i've found with rebuilds is you never know what you'll get. The engine he has in the can has a 2 1/2 ton turbo on it. With a adaptor for the ton exaust. I have also seen them come with stickers on the oil filters indicating they have 2 1/2 injectors installed...

    planning an LDS swap

    Wouldn't it be easier to just install the 2 hole injectors onto your engine? Then turn up the fuel rate to match? Other than the oil pan, and bell housing, and injectors these engines are the same. And the wastegated turbo of course. You could keep it as a spare or untill your engine wears out.
