RE: Re: RE: Not happy with the new purchase so far. hmm a possibly dishonest/misrepresented sale involving merchandise across state lines.. Hmm..

Did a test, 45 degrees outside. all readings are from truck's instruments. cold start: 15 seconds to register oil pressure. 5 more seconds to oil pressure of 90 psi waited 30 seconds increase RPM to 1250, pressure remained 90. wait 30 seconds. shut off engine, turned electricity back on...

Dang you worked on that in the c-c-c-old s-s-s-snow!!! It was worth a shot, with the low pressure. I'm sorry it was not the fix. Well I guess the ersatz P*S MAG cartoon I made isn't needed, but here it is anyway. Sorry, I just couldn't resist after looking at the TM drawing.

seems like he kinds got cheated on that one.

will we keep the oil cooler?

Do you have pictures of this? I'm not familiar with two driveshafts setup, nor the pig rear-end

That is a good point. It might be interesting to see how long it takes for the oil to drain back out of the filters, hot and cold. Looking at the diagrams, it would have two paths: 1. to drain backwards through the oil pump and this should be rather slow if the pump is good. 2. to drain...

I''ll have to find a 100-120PSI spare oil guage. There are some water and air guages at the hardware store but i don't really trust them with oil for some reason.

Re: RE: any gereen iron places in dallas texas? Probably the same guy. He lives right there off of US377 by Durant Chevrolet. His name is Bill Black and his place is actually a small ranch. I bought a 71 AM General Deuce off of him several years ago. Chad ========= Ok- -I was there when I...

RE: Re: RE: any gereen iron places in dallas texas? The 3rd is a saturday, I'm in.. Nickd, you driving the truck?

The opening is a 3/8 NPT, the square head requires a 7/16" square socket (Thanks Bjorn). I wonder how much pressure there would be required to at least crack the "15PSI minimum" piston cooling valve. I have my doubts that once this opens, the pressure would rise much higher with a small electric...

Hey Bjorn, so you sure the little port there is the pre-filter? That wotld make it far easier than trying to reach the 1/2" plug. Volume would be low but I am patient..

Since I am no diesel expert but merely a knowledge-hungry acolyte, I will quote. These descriptions are concurrent with my beliefs on wet-stacking, which is simply a conditiion where the engine load is so light that excess fuel is unburnt and can collect in the exhaust system (less common with...

Found a cheap-o way to do a full load-bank test on a large generator. This should be done anyway a couple times a year especially if the set runs at low loads and is subject to wet-stacking. The solution is stove-top elements and oven broiler elements! these things are rated in the...

Does anyone have a spare oil pan plug from the main sump? I want to experiment, and will have to drill and tap one for a fitting to be a source of oil for a prelube. I want to take from the pan and give to the 1/2" pipe fitting, if possible. This is unless someone has a lazier source of oil to...

That's quite a beautiful truck-bed-building episode. The coolest part is being able to use the crane to do the heavy work

that is funny! I like the dual steering axles!

RE: Re: RE: cooling system maintenence I see the coolent filter is plumbed in where the heater core is plumbed on mine. I could add a filter there eh? and a coolant heater, and and and.... !!

I was kidding. I suppose it is best used as a lawn ornament, in someone else's lawn!

What's that guy's name, i may have seen his yard, it's actually a ranch? I been asked to provide a static MV display for (recruiting at) this event on MAR 31: "The Major R. Roger Guynn Memorial JROTC Military Skills Meet will be conducted on Saturday, 31 March 2007, from 0700-1700 hours at...
