How about filling the system with plain water, for now, and look for leaks instead of trying to hear them?

You might be able to find that info by searching for Case 580C stuff on Google. At least I think it's a 580C.

In reality it was more like four or five years, but it wasn't exactly a daily driver and used only in the neighborhood. Got that 1008 with one alternator missing, so I disconnected the wiring for the other one. Used a solar panel to keep the batteries charged, one at a time, and since it was in...

Make sure the wiring for the alternators can't touch ground, or each other, and drive. I used my 1008 for over a year without any alternators.

Amazing indeed, considering that the stuff I used was the old style, which really should've been heated (not necessary with the current products) but I tend to stray from directions. Besides, it was a better test, I thought, of its capabilities to try under less than ideal conditions.

N-Terpinal makes a solution that removes powder coating, and if it's anything like its rust removers etc. you can almost drink it. Never tried the powder coat version, but the rust removers work great.

And here I thought that it wasn't good for diesels to idle. At least on the larger ones the rings aren't even made to seal well at idle, putting a fair amount of fuel in the oil. Maybe that's not the case with the little Cummins or OM352s. Either way, I avoid idling any engine whenever possible.

JEL, while I'm learning as I go in regards to the hydraulic system, my guess is that it's probably not an open center. If the rear pump would deadhead, things would get quite warm and ugly, I think. And when removing the backhoe it says to connect the QDs in the rear to each other, keeping a...

I'll PM you my PayPal info, if you insist.

Strangely enough, when I have screwed up repairs and/or fixes, for some reason I thought it was my fault that I screwed up, not the vehicle's.

According to always knowledgeable choprboy, the correct part number is 360-081-034-002C. They're on eBay for $88 plus $6 shipping, but as peakbagger points out above, a little shopping abroad could likely result in better prices yet. If nothing else, anything in UK has 20% VAT added, which...

My mistake, I thought you had the stock 10-bolt axles. Either way, Dana 60s, 70s and 80s can be had with much taller gears than 4.10s. There's a small outfit that sells new and reman NV4500s, frequently on sale, which I can dig up the name of if you wish. My Banks turbo was installed 17 years...

My experience with gearing started with installing 35s on the already doggy 6.2 with 3.08s, but at least they allowed me to go down the freeways with relative ease. Up hills was a different matter. Long story short, with a Banks turbo, a built 700R4, and 4.10 gears (in 3/4-ton axles), life was...

If both outputs on the sender has the same function it would be a real blessing for those with low oil pressure. Then they could connect both outputs to the pressure gauge and double the reading on the gauge.

I stand corrected. Always heard that the larger automatics soaked up more power, and with larger (and sometimes more) parts, it made sense to me. Getting rotating mass up to speed versus keeping it in motion are obviously two different things.

If this trend catches on, my abandoned project is for sale. An '82 barn door diesel Sub with a Dynatrac rear axle (Detroit) and rebuilt front with True Trac (3.73 gears), built 6.5 w/turbo, TCI 4L80E with computer, Atlas transfer case, and more. Including an M1008 rear bumper, come to think of it.

Pure guesswork on my part, but being that the OM352 seems to be a common engine, it probably has an even more common sending unit. Have you tried that path?

I tried that with mine, remember? Didn't work. It refuses to self-indentify as a semi. But it does get used to pull many more semi trailers since the bed came off.

Not quite. They are tractors pulling semi trailers (which almost all trailers are, but that's another story). But yes, they're not true trucks as there is no bed to put a load on. Truck tractor seems to be a common description, presumably to differentiate them from farm tractors, but since they...

Have yet to figure out why things on this particular SEE aren't lined up quite like on other FLUs. That the tank sits a couple of inches higher than normal isn't due to forklift damage (although there is plenty of it, both underneath and in the sheet metal). I think that the front of the bed is...
