Kolene Steels, high performance fiber clutches, Kevlar bands, Torrington bearing upgrades, bushing upgrades and so on. Also "Sonnex" sells really good valve upgrades like there main pressure regulator valve and spring.
Just go to "COAN Racing" parts and check out what is available for the TH400...
All TH400's use that odd trapezoidal shape oil pan. If the one your looking at is square then it is most likely a TH700R4 or even a TH350. Now there are 3 different TH400 pans but the differences are just the "dimples" in the pan. Also the depth of the pans can be different but never the overall...
OK I'm going to bring a little clarity to this issue of diesel engines running away from using engine oil. That is mostly true on "2 cycle" diesel engines ie: "Detroit Diesels" . There has been some documented cases of a "4 cycle" diesel engine running away from using the oil mist from the...
Finished disassembly of the LDS pump. Now I'm cleaning up the Hydraulic Head. It was very rusty as it had been laying in a wooden crate on a dirt floor barn for years. It took every thing off except the gear and retainer and thoroughly sandblasted it. I believe once I put it back together it...
That oil pressure switch will do fine. As far as cleaning the unit goes, I just use brake clean. It cuts the grease real good and doesn't hurt the wiring.
Your pretty safe just using the original shims from the old pump. If you really wanted to get technical then you would re-measure everything with this new pump. If it doesn't run right after you reinstall the pump then that's the time to go back and re-measure everything.
I went with the "Curt" 15400 myself. Besides having a higher towing capacity it is also a 2.5" receiver which means it can handle the heavy duty towing adapters.
The original deuce air-switch was mounted directly into the "Air-Pac" so it had to handle full brake pressure. With the later "modification" the switch was installed into the air line just like any "modern" air switch. That's also why you should not reuse the old switch as it's pressure point is...
A longer handle would be a good idea. I can reach mine though just fine, and boy does it shut down your engine fast !
I had played with several ideas including adding a cable operated shut-off (which I still might do) to the valve by just drilling a hole on the end of the handle for the cable to...
Check the S1 switch. You could have loose wires. We once had a bus that would run great until you went over some railroad tracks then it would try and apply the brakes (ABS system) . We worked on that bus for weeks and could not find the problem. Then one of the older mechanics went into the...
