well, it turns out the truck I thought was a D-turbo wasn't. In fact, it wasn't turbocharged at all! LD-465-1C I'll probably just keep the LDT, even though it doesn't look quite as nice. Ok, this is weird. The turbocharged engine's dataplate say's it's an LDT-465-1D... but it's got the...

Just remember to always follow the 11th commandment and you'll be ok.

whoa, are you serious? The mods can read our private messages??? That is not cool.

so, you mean adjusting the fuel/air ratio? Pardon if I sound ignorant, because I am.

Fresh out of pyrometers. What do you mean by turning up the fuel?

Mk. I'll kroil the snot out of the bolts tonight and start wrenching tomorrow. Thanks fellas.

I've got a truck with a D turbo and a truck with a C turbo. Someone wants to buy the C turbo truck but they don't care whether it has the C or the D turbo in it. I kind of like the whistle sound. So how hard is it to swap em? Just unbolt and bolt? Or does the injector pump need to be timed...

Aren't there commercially available run flats already? Or maybe that's the reason right there. *sigh* More taxpayer dollars shoveled into a furnace...

I'd open the cap and look at the top of the engine. Another good sign would be to flip the accessory switch and see if you get a low air warning. Or go to the battery box and see what kind of pressure the batts still give.

Update: Checked it just now and it was off of the "yellow, sulfated light with blinking maintenance indicator" and on "green good and charging" light indicator. Newer batt is charging at 11.9 V. Older batt is charging at 12.6 V or 15.5 V. It seems to make a difference if I have the...

If it had two bad cells, why would it ever show more than 9 V? It's taking a few minutes to get down there. I would think that it means kind of like what keith is saying. Surface charge. Could it be tho that some of the cells are more deeply sulfated than the others and that's why it seems...

And I really don't know what I'm doing... ok, when I first tested the batts with a voltmeter, one (manufactured in 08) read a little over 9 volt and the other (manufactured in 01) read 0.0 volt. So I connected them in series, made sure they were topped off with RO water, and hooked the charger...

hey, if nothing else, those extra 6 inches should give you a little more head room when working on the underside of the vehicle. Er, that would be 3 inches, but still...

keith just left... and he got her running in the latter couple of hours of yesterday afternoon. The control arm or whatever it's called for the throttle was stuck. The diesel in there had turned to varnish making it impossible for the throttle to close by way of that arm. I believe the...

Hey, I already posted a thread with pitchers! Who has the group photo, by the way?

I am confusered by this thread.

I will man the ovens and final solution their sorry butts if you show me how. Yeah, we disengaged the brake lever in the cab. ;-)

Yep, Fort Sam actually loaned that to us for the show! They had a guy dressed up in World War I uniform, too. I didn't get a picture of him, but he's in the group photo, I know.

Yeah, we loosened it and still no movement. So yeah, probably either a cable issue or the brakes are really really frozen. We tried beating on it with a deadblow hammer. Of course eeyore assumed this meant the world was ending. :roll: Yep, lots of brew to be sampled. And I hope you're not...

Well, me and texrdnec were just looking at this latest deuce and there's this set screw coming through a bracket off the transfer case. The screw appears to be holding the top boot of the parking brake drum in the engaged position. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. At any rate, the...
