Where the Timkens a double reduction like the Rockwells ?

I should have prefaced that with "all modern electronic controlled injection" . You must be able to open the exhaust valves to prevent any problems like I said earlier. The compressed air must go somewhere. Also you must deal with the Turbo pressure.

But a very handy turd I'm sure! :wink:

In all heavy duty diesel engines they use long skirt pistons. This has been a industry standard for decades and is still used today. Since heavy duty diesels do not rev much past 3000 RPM there is little problem with scuffing or undue wear. These are not race engines. The ability to utilize more...

Actually gravity bleeding is a valid way of bleeding brakes. Many early shop manuals list this as a valid process. Shops don't do it this way due to time (time is money) but it will work. The small air bubbles will naturally work their way out to the highest place. This is usually the master...

This winch can be mounted in many configurations. If you look at the winch bottom you will see eight mounting holes. This allows the roller fairlead to be mounted either in the top or bottom position. The way I have it mounted the force of the line pull is directly against the front bumper so...

The parts probably hadn't been used yet or where "shelf queens" NOS. In my experience in the industry, if the part is regularly lubed there is "NO" build-up of rock hard grease. You never see a Semi-truck come into the shop with a throw-out bearing that has rock hard grease in it that has been...

You still loose about 8" of space and your still dealing with the mounting frame. If you mount the heater straight to the firewall you open up so much more space. But it looks good !

I have an almost brand new regulator I would give you and some cash money for that unit ! Since you already have a MEP-016A it would be best to keep it.

How did you come by this information on the mileage ? I actually own a M1030 CUCV which had a 6.2 diesel engine. I removed it since it was such a pain in the butt and replaced it with a "383 Hi-Torque" . Now my mileage is 18mpg on the Free-ways. I can almost get 20mpg if the road is perfectly...

I believe the M135 had "Timkens" but my three 1954's where all "Rockwell's". I sold off all the axles out of two of my trucks but I still have them in my Air-Force M35 (1954) . If you want I can take some pictures for you.

I found two pictures I took. Yes I still have my "Fuel Density Compensator" installed. I actually like having it. I plan on tearing one of my spare pumps down and figure out a way to prevent fuel and oil mixing. There has to be a way to separate them besides a highly machined surface.

It works great. I have some pictures somewhere I just cannot find them now. I will take some pictures tomorrow for you. I did post them here though if you want to look. Found the pictures. Their in the next post.

You don't get the build-up of pressure like you do when the engine is running. For mildly stuck injectors I'm sure just spinning the engine would work though.

The reason a Jake doesn't put undo stress on the engine is because the exhaust valves are hydraulically opened just before "Top Dead Center" and the fuel is shut-off on electronically controlled engines. That's why you get that "PHFFFFT" sound when their on. If you just use a butterfly valve to...

The MEP-016D will not put out 3KW at 240 volts single phase. It is more like 2.6KW .

Actually if you take out the 6.2 diesel and replace it with a 350 or "383 Hi-Torque" like I did you will increase your mileage to 18mpg on the highway.

Good question !

That is a common trick in the heavy equipment world. Loosen the injectors and then start the engine. Usually they all come busting out of there bores and spraying all over the place. Of course you must shut the engine down quickly ! Sometimes the hold-down bolts will break though so be careful...

The winch is finally installed ! The first picture shows the bumper height before installing the winch and plate. The second picture shows the bumper height after the install. No difference, 40" both times. I only had to take the winch out 5 times too ! The winch motor was hitting the frame...
