    " NO OIL PRESSURE " oa331

    The military OA331 has a bypass filter which will not affect oil pressure. I agree that the next step should be to remove the oil pan.

    LDS-427 turbo

    Understood. I did a search here and some had claimed that it could provide more boost. I bought one anyway but it will be awhile before I get a chance to try it out.

    Road grime and salt had gotten between the tank and frame and rotted out the tanks on a number of radiators.

    Loose lower radiator tanks

    While looking for a multi radiator, I have noticed that a large portion of radiators have loose lower tank mounts. I found a nice radiator and would like to keep it that way. Any suggestions on why they fall apart? Vibration due to low idle speed or ???

    End all powersteering mod

    I think that these laws are going away with the advent of drive by wire. The law that SD had requiring a mechanical link appears to have been repealed.

    Cummins made a statement on their website specifically recommending AGAINST using KnN type filters. Good enough for me.

    Convert to 12 volt or use a power inverter?

    Yes. You have two batteries in series. Voltage with respect to ground beginning with the first battery is 28V on the positive post and 14V negative post. The second battery is 14V at the positive post and ground at the negative post. The concern about taking a 14V load off of one of the...

    Convert to 12 volt or use a power inverter?

    Why do you guys think that a third battery is necessary? The output of your 12V alternator will be at the same voltage as the midpoint between the two 12V batteries in your 24V system. It is understood that, for the same wattage, a 12V system requires double the amperage, but you are jumping...

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    The evidence "suggests" that they have them but I can't say with any certainty. I have a buddy who has to replace the pan on an LDT1C and he will check and see. I THINK that the only salient feature of the LDS rotating assembly is the cooling channel for the top ring (Continental's paper...

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    They don't say how or for how long. The last part says that 300hp is believed possible while retaining full multifuel capabilities. That suggests the same high compression and combustion chamber design.

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    There are five LDTs sitting in my shed. Each one has the external valving for piston squirter. That would suggest that they have the piston squirters. The oil channel in the LDS piston gives a 100F reduction in ring land temperature and was advertised as allowing the use of a poorer quality...
