I got mine from Michigan into Ohio, and the Michigan title was wrong! The ladies at my local title office (small town) went out, took pictures and did a rubbing of the plate in the truck, and issued me a new Ohio title with the right info on it.
Went to office next door and got plates...
This newer model has the pump built in, not like the old monster its replacing. It has zero information on hookup because now they use them in all manner of things.
The stand pipe makes sense, not sure if i could do something similar, my tank is tough to access.
My M46A2C came with a multifuel heater in the box which was never actually hooked up. I decided to remove that 100lb monster and have just go a UH48 heater for the box.
The wiring for the 24v and the thermostat are already in place which is great, as is the exhaust on the front of the box...
So how much effect would this have on a non-turbo over a turbo truck? Is a pyro necessary for me when I don't have the turbo?
Treating the bypass idea really as a preventative maintenance item, i am considering doing it on my 68 M46A2C because it seems like it would eventually cause an issue...
This may be lore, but several have told me that having a 1968 with under 6000 miles and 300 hours, which runs like a swiss watch...... Adding a turbo is a good way to ruin it. Really it's been a thought many times but then will it really make it that different for the giant brick that my own...
I do, but I don't drive the turbo truck any real distance, mostly just around the yard after one of the other guys has driven the actual journey etc.
I honestly don't like driving it, too light and bouncy for me.
What's funny is I have only ever maintained and worked on NA deuces. We even have one with a whistler but I have never even been under it or looked at it's exhaust setup.
Hmm, so how about I go bigger turbo pipes from muffler up the stack?
I assume by that point the back pressure won't be relevant or enough to matter?
She is mostly ok from manifold to muffler, has new flex pipe etc.
Looks like the top end of my exhaust needs replaced and i have two options. Replace it with a generic pipe and flapper, Cerakote them to look nice etc... or get a whole turbo exhaust and put that on.
Will it really change anything?
Will the reduction in back pressure be an issue for this engine?
I see there is a newer style brake handle online right now. I have a whaletail style. Am I over thinking it that switching them out is just unbolt, unhook, do the reverse?
Thanks
