Thanks NDT for that info. This truck needs a little TLC but overall it isn't in too bad a shape. It has an LD-465-1 non-turbo engine and is clean under the hood. It's pretty much a standard 1970s truck. BTW, Have A Happy New Year!!

Johan, I found this 1970 M-275A2 down in Texas and it also has markings on the back of the cab ECS1-99, same as the markings on the center of the front bumper.

Glad you got it installed and it's working ok. I can't imagine not having an air shift. (y)

I hope neither of your heads are cracked. I've been looking at new heads on the internet and they run around a grand new.

Welcome aboard from Nevada, and great looking truck.

Mike I'll see what I can do to get out your way and lend a hand after 1st of the year. Hopefully you don't have anything more than a bad head gasket. Are you thinking about pulling both heads? After having all that coolant in the oil, it might be nice to get a look at all 8 cylinder liners and...

SC, I need to get a Pioneer Tool Kit for my truck. I think I've been procrastinating for 6 or 7 years now. I got it, get a Pioneer tool kit for my New Years resolution.

Mike, have Lori bring the wrecker......ya never know! 😫

Mike, I didn't even know this post was up. I'm still feeling my way around the new SS program, I'll get it figured out someday. Mike I'll be there with the Deuce, last spring and fall I brought my Chevy truck. I'll be bringing lots of treasures to sell this spring so I'll bring the M35A2, and it...

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/NATO_Military_Map_Symbols Johan77 here is a list of NATO Symbols & Markings. From what I could find, the letters SF stand for Special Forces. I didn't have a whole lot of time today to search for SMGP, I hope it's in this list. Johan, a Happy New Year to You...

When I started reading this post and thinking of all the possibilities that could cause this problem. The shifter boot never once crossed my mind. Yea glad it was an easy fix.

Welcome aboard from Nevada. Good Luck with your project.

Wish I lived a little closer Mike I could give you a hand with all this. Personally I like the 2 stroke Detroit's better than the newer 4 strokes.

Well done Mike. With a little patience and following the TMs you're on your way.

Mike, give Diesel Kings Truck Repair in Sacramento a call, 916-862-2924. They specialize in heavy truck repair, full 5 star on yelp. And as frank stated keep an eye out on GP.

Mike, get a Detroit Diesel service manual for the 8V92 and start getting familiar with it. Should have a trouble shooting section. Probably several available on e-pay.

92ramaro. My truck is a 1971 and I upgraded it to a W/W a couple years ago. Here are a couple pics of my winch control lever. There is already a hole in the floor for your winch control lever. There should be a plate in an oval hole held in place by a couple spot welds, use a small grinder to...

Sorry to hear about all the trouble Mike. I have some Detroit experience, and I agree with Will it sounds like a head gasket.

Welcome aboard from Nevada. Nice looking truck enjoy.
