This thread has been silent for some time. I was prowling craigslist this morning and found a local truck for sale with a 2nd turbo: Notice it is not a twin turbo setup where 3 cylinders feed an individual turbo or on a V8 gasser having an individual turbo on each bank of cylinders. This...

Ahh, I thought that might be your concern. I’d likely do the same thing in your shoes. Is your existing steering shaft & box at a 30 degree (M35 reference) or 45 degree angle (cab over?) from the frame rail? I wonder if it might also be easier for you to mount the Saginaw box outside of the...

I'm new to the idea of a power steering conversion. I found this at a local scrap yard and could get it cheap. Is this a sample of the steering ram you are referring to? I could go by and take some measurements. It looks like it would bolt right up on the crosslink and would need a simple...

Welcome gentry! That cabover truck is really cool and I’m sure it will be one sweet ride one of these days. I did not have any trouble looking at your pics. I have had lots of trouble uploading pics to this site though. It can be very picky and I often copy the pics and make a “lowrez” batch...

I'd like to compare your Delo 15W-40 w/ZDDP to my Delo 15W-40 without/ZDDP! My results are in a port some time back. I'll likely change my oil next Summer also for another data point.

That gear looks rough. It is hard for me to think of running it in my truck. Maybe you can take a couple more pics and post them? From that pic I would replace that gear.

I think this peggs it. In the military is sometimes fun to abuse equipment. Case in point, have you seen the youtube video of the guys in Iraq rolling an M35A3? I dunno if it is still online as I haven't seen it in a couple years.

One other thought. My truck has JATonka spin on filters. I've heard that the stock filters can be installed improperly. Is there a chance they are allowing unfiltered oil to pass due to mis-installation, bad filters, or a bypass that is malfunctioning?

I have a C turbo with AE3535XL muffler and run EGT's up to 1150 or so routinely on grades in 4th or 5th. These turbos (C, D , or whatever) should be able to handle quite a bit more than that. I'm pretty sure heat is not the issue, yet two failures for the same thing suggests another issue than...

The screen in my truck mysteriously vanished this Summer also. With everything else going on, I have not had time to sort it out. It may just be that fluid coming through and pull or tearing on the screen and it finally gives out. They are also likely old and suffering from corrosion...

I agree as long as it hasn't lost too much engagement. Part of the idea of helical cut teeth is to keep 2 teeth engaged at all times so that they share the load. If you run it I would recommend pulling the top plate to inspect it at some point. Can you post a pic?

If I do will you buy one?

Here's a picture from under my truck this morning. I used to have a little dribble of oil on the drive from every stop, now, NOTHING! Rusty, When are you available for me to drive up so you can drive my truck with this installed? I'm hoping to put a stop to this nonsense.

As I’ve looked into this, I’ve found that there are at least two versions of this part out there (note the thick flange version has obviously deeper counterbores): 1) Thicker mounting flange with more material on the convex side and less material on the concave side 2) Thinner mounting...

When I had the tranny out I observed the same thing with a small leak (from valve cover?) coming down the back of the head. It's very light, but there's anothe rleak to run down. Whack a mole of leak fixes continues.

Is there a NAPA part number for the compressor?

Hey Lino, I designed some gear for the semiconductor capital equipment some years ago and did some deep drill heat exchanger plates. Usually, they used heat transfer fluids with low surface tension that would find any leak like nobody's business. Using tapered threads was a nightmare. Parker...

There's a great thread here called something like "front axle step x step." If you search for it you will find it. Lots of pics and explanation. Oh, here it is: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?8460-Front-axle-seals-and-boots-stepXstep Erik's Surplus has all of the parts in a...
