If they will not lock then something is bad out of adjustment or just plain broke. The OEM brakes are just fine, they just fade fast if used over and over.
Clinto is just being a tease about the recon trip to DT.....
We will still have access (time restricted during daylight hours) to the old 4x4 park with the anthills, the articulation road, grand canyon, the stair steps and the other 50 % of that park that we never visited.
But,
They have a new...
Turbo elbow looks like the -1 style not the 1A. Really does not matter, maintenance is the same. Minor differences in the pump, different turbo and injectors. Both are good powerplants.
Ron, Regarding Monica, count me in for a local recovery, if authorized. We can tow to the site with the 819 or with Squirt if you have a spare tow bar or if we can borrow one. We need a good action event for the show. Been since P'Tree city when we did a winching exercise, Wreckerman's 2-1/2...
Karl,
What is the GVW of the trailer? Just be aware that even if the 2-1/2 can safely handle the towed load, you will be over weight for the listed towed load. IF you get stopped there is no excuse for that and a ticket will be coming. Also, a trailer over roughly 2500# will put you into...
Will he send you copies of independent lab test results?
What manufacturers have approved the products for use in specific engines?
What test standards do they meet, (ATSM, ASME, SAE, etc.)
Careful here guys, my company makes a lot of money testing and rejecting China products.
But they do not have a corner on the cheap junk market. As stated, the consumer is to cheap to buy good stuff, that is where we will put a stop to this mess.
Airmech3839,
Google the musem. The event is directly across the street. There is no problem access for a deuce, unless you intend on pulling a long low trailer. IF that is the case let me know you cannot come through town with the trailer due to the rail crossing.
I understand that camping...
So whats wrong with the OEM brakes?
Will they lock the tires?
Pinion brakes are not a good plan. Not to mention that they require significantly more fluid pressure to provide the same brake force. Back to having to balance the system.
Upgrading to a dual circuit is a better safety approach.
Rcflyer,
Yep they will turn the oil black almost immediately. By the way it is an LDS465-1A not an LDT. Check out the thread on the differences, a lot of good information coming out in that.
For some reason it seems most of the LDS engines do smoke much more than the LDT's. Off idle it should...
I believe that the wast-gate turbo was dropped when they went to the 1A engine. I have a 1990 LDS-1A it does not have a waste gate turbo and has single hole injectors. It has not been altered since it left Continental in that they were able to provide me with the correct replacement parts. It...

Yes there will be 5-tons there.
Dave will most likely have the Marine 813, Squirt (M54-A2) will be there and if Dumpster gets the new 6602 installed then the M-51 will be there also.
