    These are just the 4 manuals I own, but there are more out there.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Actually there are about 4 manuals like TM 9-2910-226-35 . If you go to all of them you will see different "NSN" and "Federal Stock Numbers" on certain parts, as they where changed throughout the years.

    m35a2 throwout bearing

    Actually if you grease it on a regular basis you are pushing out the old grease. No need to tear it all apart unless you have let it go for a while. That's how it's done in the trucking world.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Your right, there is only one cam "Federal Stock Number 2910-871-5432" . I thought I had read about two different cams, but I was mistaken. There are many different sizes of governor springs though which control the rate of fuel delivery.

    Yes you are "evil ! " I did finally find one. I am still negotiating and I believe he will sell the unit for a couple hundred. That unit you got sure looks nice though !

    Trans build: Input shaft to input bearing cap fit dimensions?

    Looked at the video, and that is bad David ! There should only be a few thousandths clearance.

    Fording Project

    I got my exhaust gaskets today but I'm in the middle of my bumper install right now. Also the rain has returned with a vengeance ! In fact the Northwest has had the wettest winter in recorded history ! Thankfully there are little sun breaks every now and then, and when I can I am trying to take...

    Fording Project

    If you look back at post 145, picture #6 you will see my drain valve I installed. It has a 1/4" opening so anything (oil, coolant etc. ) in there should come out. I will be keeping mine closed at all times and drain it on my regular inspections.

    m35a2 throwout bearing

    This project has been put on the back shelf until this summer. I have a steel slinger there right now, and as long as I don't over grease the bearing all is good.

    m35a2 throwout bearing

    Actually your statement is a good reason to have a grease fitting on the bearing. As most trucks set the grease is getting old and needs to be replaced. Remember grease on it's own will drop out of suspension and separate. Just open an old can of grease.

    m35a2 throwout bearing

    Almost all modern trucks have grease fittings on their throw-out bearings. The main thing is to not over grease the bearing. One shot works just fine. I'm planning on putting a hose to the bearing and then drill-out and tap the clutch housing (NPT threads) and have the grease fitting outside the...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    Snakes are just so cool. Yes, especially when their cooking on a stick over your camp fire ! Can you tell I don't like snakes ? at least live ones.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Yes, but there is a number of differences like the governor springs "Gimpyrobb" mentioned and the total cam height which pushes the plunger in the hydraulic head. If I would just get off my butt and teardown the LDS and LDT pumps I have I could come up with some specification differences.

    Water in fuel.

    That is just one of the great advantages of being on this site. All the manuals for free download ! So take advantage of it and download them and read them. Between reading the manuals and working on your truck, there isn't a better way to learn about your rig.

    All very good suggestions.

    Winch and Bumper Project

    I got the plate primer painted and drilled out the holes in the bumper. I also installed the quick-disconnect to the winch and put on the rubber bumpers. I need to buy some longer winch mount bolts. I want to take advantage of the full depth of threads in the winch since the top bolts will be...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Ahh come on, that's the easy way out ! LOL !!! We need someone who can machine out there LDT injection pump. Now that would be hard core !

    Looking at buying my first deuce is this a good deal?

    I totally agree. I love my deuce but the 939 has a modern Cummins in it, power steering and a automatic ! Plus it can haul just about anything you would want. My next truck will be a 939 if I can ever swing it.
