I see you found the problem, but "cucvrus" was correct about taking it into a shop. As far as the modulator valve goes (that is the one that vacuum controls) it and the governor work hand in hand to control shift points. If the modulator valve was stuck due to the vacuum being off it could have...

Good job on the information Chaski ! Not many people know about the Torsion bar unless you have rebuilt a steering gear before. Your also correct in saying this is the only "true" way to adjust road feel.

I posted that last year. If you look up ARP head bolts you should be able to find it.

Record using the "stock" LDT rockers first, then using the LDS rockers. That way we can have a base line to go from.

WOW ! Scored does not even touch what is wrong with that shaft ! It looks like some garbage got past the filters and really chewed up that shaft ! It was amazing you where able to run it at all.

Yeah, that shower of glass is not fun ! It also takes forever to clean-up ! I'm still seeing glass in the truck and the driveway where I tried to clean the truck out.

Great job Valence ! You wouldn't think so but it's moments like this that actually help shape a boys life.

I know. That is why I'm going to be testing it to make sure it really works, and does not explode when revving up. Yes it was spin balanced.

That is not a good thing ! :shock:

I have some interesting news today. I have a "C" turbo that had a bad impeller. The vanes bit the sides of the housing due to bad bearings. I took it down to a Marine Diesel shop in Seattle where I knew the shop foreman. I asked if there was anyway he could touch-up the vanes. At that time he...

If your really concerned about the brakes, get a later model M35A2 with the "Air-Force" brake up-grade. Mine works just fine. I can get that little beast to stop NOW if I want to. As far as the 5 tons go, there great but big. Unless you have acreage I would just stay with the deuce.

No. This motor was just left on the side of the road to rot by "Wisconsin Robin" . No support from them at all. Most small motor parts places just have the basic stuff like filters and a few gaskets. I've pretty much given up on this engine myself. Maybe later I will try and match some piston...

That is a very good point David.

Yes, thanks again. I honestly couldn't believe how much noise it made from what was in the end, a simple problem. I may end up having more issues down the road from the lack of fluid getting to the pump for that short while but for now it feels really good. I as well am glad it was simple...

What you do is start cranking the engine over, then spray some ether down the throat. It will start up for a second. I have actually kept a diesel running on ether until the can emptied out. We where trying to get the stupid pump to prime at the time. Didn't work since it had other issues. Like...

Could be the cam. I would like to have a LDT and LDS cam side by side and compare lift and duration. That is of course if they are still original and not the replacement cams which were all the same. Also the LDS injection pump springs allow the engine to spool up faster. Could make for an...

Yeah, your not going to get a diesel engine to fire by just pouring diesel down the intake. You can use "ether" though. Or brakecleen. Just be careful that the glow-plugs are disconnected ! Also don't use a lot of ether. A little goes a long way in diesels. You don't want to blow the heads off ...

The piston squirters are all the same in the later engines. The lower compression pistons where in the smaller multifuel. The LDS and LDT both used "C" and "D" turbos as far as I can see. The earlier LDS used that funky turbo (cannot remember the number) until the 1960's in the 5 tons. Then it...

Are you sure the "pressure relief" (decompression lever) is closing ? If it is not allowing the valves to seat properly then you would have this same problem. Also did you "reset" the "low oil pressure" fault ?
