But you would never know until the smoke dissipates! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Welcome! As for the engine, they all have a variant of the LDT-465 multifuel engine. A screaming "C" turbo or a more efficient "D" turbo are personal preferences rather than real-world differences. Do not confuse a "C" or "D" on the engine's data plate (e.g. LDT-465-1C) with the type of turbo...

Ah! One of these!

Put the filters on and once you have everything together, switch on the in tank pump. Let it run for a solid two minutes or so. This will pump fuel all the way to the injection pump and fill all the filters. Then hit the start button. It should fire up nicely.

More importantly, what is it? Looks like a M52 chassis but not a full wrecker? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Hm. Thoughts that come to mind: - 194g is a LOT of aluminum to lose. Aluminum weighs about 40g per tblsp. Does your new piston have longer piston skirts? - weigh an undamaged piston (to eliminate the guess work around how much material might be missing); scratch that, weigh them all! How...

I love my LDS. An LDS with the 5th gear overdrive is an unbeatable combination. I am always surprised, still, how well it pulls on grades where it ought to slow down!

I can fix the first one: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?31284-Engine Not too much useful info in that one. There is a long thread on the multifuel differences. I remember that, in summary, the differences are in the IP/HH and the valve train, specifically the intake valve rocker...

From the diagram labels it appears that the pistons without the oil passage were used in production engines and the (later) model pistons with oil passage as replacements. This would suggest that they are interchangeable. The bottom of the piston is still oil cooled via the jet. Weighing...

Here is the instructions: https://www.jatonkam35s.com/M105TMS/TB9-2300-280-30.PDF Basically, they go into the left and right bottom corners of all the "fields" in the bed sides. You need to relocate the reflectors and cargo cover tie-downs. There should be a blank metal template (just the metal...

Finally finished the Waterloo Industries power steering install. While any project on this truck spirals into some sort of production, this one was particularly frustrating. From horrible quality tools (out of the box) over power drills (yes, 2) dying a smoky fiery death to a missing bracket and...

What does she idle at? Should be above 750, many are at 800-850 rpm.

I was in the same boat as Oerthedge21 a couple of years ago. I did use plastigauge. A friend of mine who is a heavy equipment mechanic asked me "Why? You spend money to buy the plastigauge, spend time to measure the bearings (you need to open and re-assemble bearing caps), only to find out that...

LD, LDS, LDT 465 all variants- same head gasket. LDS 427 not sure. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

No, that is normal. When the heads are off and you spin the engine over, the ring friction is often enough to lift them. All but one. There is always one that won't budge. It's the one Murphy is sitting on while he watches you.

I have an LDS with the one hole injectors and Menaces' description is bang on. Smokes at idle and runs ...umm...clean-ish under load. One of these days I'll switch in the two hole injectors I have... Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Affirmative. Removable liners in both.

We have some good experts here on the site but metinks a dripping injector might do that! Now it's decision time how far you want to get into it....1 piston, rings and liner.....or 6 pistons, rings and liners....and mains...and rod bearings...decisions, decisions. I do recommend the 12 point...
