The bushings are sopposed to be loose in the bore, When it gets hot they will expand and fit tight in the bore. The bearings (bushings) are made from oillite. It's a brass compound that is pourous. The pores in the metal will hold oil so they won't wear too quickly when the engine is started and...

6by, The DPS won't care abouts it's weight. It's a saftey issue. You can't put recaps on your pickup's front axle eather. I sudjest checking the tires before each trip. Pay close attention to dry rot.

THANK YOU very much! Now i can start looking.

Thanks jed. Does anyone know who i could contact to get the 6453's first gear ratio?

Man that's pretty cheap! It must be nice!

Please don't let a DPS trooper catch you in TEXAS with recaps on the steer axle! After you get out of JAIL it may take Rick Perry to get your truck back!

Thats great! Do you have a OD tranny for it?

Kenny, there is a "star" weep hole plug on the side of the hyd head. A 7/16, 12 point socket will take it out. Try removing it and see if any water/fuel seeps out. If nothing comes out, or only fuel comes out. Try to start it. But if you get water/rusty water i would pull the head and make sure...

Will the 6453 fit the back of a 465 multifuel? And does anyone know the 1st gear ratios on the 6352 and the 6453? Thanks

Stiches, I started using marine grease. EP-2 rating. I've noticed it doesen't wash out when the truck goes swimming. Although i still do a complete lube job after fording, there is less of a worry on the trip home. I've used castrol hypiod-c 85-90w GL-5 gear oil in everything since the FD got...

Drip gas is very common here in east texas. It has a VERY LOW octane rating. If you have a gas motor with low compression About 7 to 1 you can use it. It's a very dry fuel and will wash oil off of engine parts. It makes a pretty good solivent. But it's too dangerous to be safe. I've ran regular...

Just rember these engines have weak head gaskets. And head bolts/studs love to stretch. Don't be suprised if you end up with a cylinder head in your lap at 15psi.

Those one piece winshields are from memphis equipment. They were making them from normal frames with sheet metal in the receses. DRAT has one on his truck. It's the artic windshield. His other one is in the back yard somewhere. They stop air from comming around the glass. It's to freaking hot...

Thanks guys, I couldn't rember how it was spelled eather. Wick. It will start and move under it's own power. Stopping? well that's dirrerent. You need something really big and solid to hit to get it to stop! The wiring is a mess. And it's missing the exaust, doors,mirrors and the passenger...

Well i spent most of the day dragging a m52 home today. It's pretty much complete, but needs a lot of TLC. The engine tag tells me it's a LDS 465 1A. Is the lagista site still up? I need to get a peek at some TM's.

Earl, I'm east of houston. Send me a PM i need a few take off parts.

My m35a2 is at 41836. It had 11000 when i got it. As far as states? Texas, Lousiana.

Yea once the engine reaches operating temp. Any attempt to cool the charge air with a intercooler will be lost when the air inters the intake manifold. I have taken the temp of the compressor housing and discharge hose on my truck on a hot summer day. About 105 outside. The tube was running 128...

How long do you think before you get it in the truck? There were two different air compressors. A new and a old style. Good luck on the install!

Mabye the truck went swimming and then went to the motor pool on fri afternoon. Now solder "A" has to finish this truck before he can use his weekend pass. Guess what didn't get done? 5 quarts should do it. If it's really bad, i would pull the floor pan and the top of the tranny and make sure...
