    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    The answer is none. You need electronic injection control to adjust the flow amount like that. The speed of injection is also the same between the LDT and LDS pumps. It's just that the LDS puts out a higher volume due to a larger chamber. The question has always been "can you make a LDT pump put...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    Hey ! that back packer food isn't half bad. Try living on "C" or "K" rats ! Actually I did like them for the most part. I didn't care much for the "chilli", though the "beans and franks" where pretty good ! Since I was in the Marines I also know how many holes where in a "Gorilla" cookie. The...

    Roll call, South East Michigan

    OK that is cool ! Maybe you can get your shop to look at the intakes and exhausts on the multifuel heads. See what you can do to make them better ! Just remember they need to "swirl" the incoming air.

    Winch and Bumper Project

    I finished welding up the standoffs today, and got it painted. Of course another storm front is on it's way and it's already raining buckets now. I'm debating about putting on the "D" rings I bought on the bumper. The stock shackle rings should be plenty strong. I haven't found any data on the...

    Winch and Bumper Project

    The misplaced holes was a pain, but I take partial blame. I should have "stressed" the measure points where from the inside of the bends not the outside. I thought my drawing was plain enough but alas it wasn't. They cut it out with a water jet machine, so everything was programed. I plan on...

    Fording Project

    Yes I have a flap on the exhaust, so the rusted old "J" pipe is no longer needed or wanted. This way I have much better access to the wheel area also.

    Actually there is no kink anymore. The picture is an optical illusion. As far as the shackles go, there is no movement behind the mountings, so that is why I routed it there. As far as your nose goes, I love hearing comments and new ideas.

    The U-bolts came with the tank from the same M105 trailer I got them from. I did need to cut the threads deeper though.

    Fuel injector Rebuilding/testing and TM and compression testing

    That's good to know about the injector nozzles. Bad for you of course.

    Fording Project

    I finally finished the "slobber" tank. I was waiting on the new hose I ordered. As you can see I'm also replacing the lower exhaust system (pic 3). I'm waiting on the gaskets for the flex pipe now.

    Transmission retrofit/replacement, what fits, eaton fuller?

    Looks like you missed the great debate. The final answer is straight motor oil is OK to use as long as it's at least 40w. The best oil to use in the transmission and transfer-case in my opinion and the opinion of the engineer at "Tremec" is "Shell Spirex" 50w synthetic gear oil . The 10w-40...

    Transmission retrofit/replacement, what fits, eaton fuller?

    It seems you didn't know but the owner of that website where they sell that overdrive gear is our member "m-35tom" . He just posted before you.

    Winch and Bumper Project

    I wish I didn't have them drill out the holes ! I welded them up today and ground them down. After redrilling in the correct spot I put it on the winch and it looks great ! I still need to weld up the schedule 80 pipe that I'm using as standoffs, then some paint and it's done ! As far as the...

    Multi-Fuel Engine won't start - Compression??

    If you don't want to replace the Hydraulic Head then just get a "ether" injection kit. A whole lot of deuces came with them. They are still available NOS from surplus dealers.

    Air pack.

    The first picture shows the two styles of the hydraulic valve that pushes the air valve. The second picture shows the air valve and housing. The third picture shows the bore the hydraulic valve goes in. The main reason there is brake fluid in the air chamber is because of this valve. This valve...

    Air pack.

    When you push the master cylinder it applies pressure to a little valve that goes up and opens an air valve. The air valve then sends the air to the back of the air chamber (can) and applies the air piston which pushes the brake rod pressurizing the brakes fluid.

    Winch and Bumper Project

    I need to weld up the one hole on both sides, then drill out the correct holes. I'll leave the one set of holes. The top holes need to be elongated also. At least I found my rubber bumpers ! They will get mounted inline with the frame so if I ever need to push someone I won't ruin there vehicle...

    Winch and Bumper Project

    Well I got the plate today, and after getting it home tried to mount up the winch. Of course they got the holes wrong ! I could take it back and make them do it right. Of course that will take another 2 weeks ! Or I can just weld closed the holes and redrill it. At this time I'm thinking just...
