Got side tracked. I am still on the hunt for an engine. Will a 24v 5.9 cummins fit? Or only the 12v? Anyone know if a 6.7L Cummins will fit?

You guys might remember my posts from 2016. I replaced my LDS with an LDT from a duece. Ran alright for a good while, I have put this baby through a ton of work! But, that engine was a bum from the beginning. The rear piston sleeve was loose and has gotten worse. Antifreeze is everywhere. It is...

I am pretty new to mechanic work so I hope all this makes sense. I have an M51a2 with an duece LD465 in it. My fuel injector self destructed. I got the new on on but I'm pretty sure I have the timing 180 off. The lifters looked the same to me anytime I rotated the crank to the markers. Now...

I took the heads into the machine shop and they said they were perfectly flat and didn't need any work. I got some things to do before winter sets in so the truck just got shifted to the back burner. Bought the bullet and paid a company to bring my last load of gravel out, and sure enough...

Welp, My LD-461 IP which I took out was turned up. I counted 8 threads visible. So on my LDS-461 IP and I tightened the bolt until about 7 threads were visible. The LD IP was turned up to much so I figured one less thread would do. She started up and idled rough. I let it run about 10 minutes...

Sidenote, I think my thermostat is stuck. After running for about 3 minutes or so, fluid starts squirting out my radiator overflow. Can I just remove my thermostat from the housing without replacing it?

Im sure this has been asked on here a dozen times but Im not finding answers as clear as I would like. Is there a TM that walks you through turning up the fuel? It looks like I just loosen the outer nut, than tighten the inner nut a little. Maybe 1/4 to half a turn. Then tighten the outer...

She starts! Ether didn't do anything at first. I went ahead and took my air filter out and sprayed 1 second into the pipe and she fired right up. It stays running as long as I keep the RPMs up but as soon as I let them down close to idle it just dies. I sat in there for 5 minutes letting her...

The harmonic balancer is the 3 lines on the crank right? I had her watch for the LDS/LDT line while I was underneath rotating the drive line. I verified the mark was lined up after it was done. She said the front rocker arm had just went down and came back which is the intake. So it should have...

I have not bled the air from the fuel filters. I didn't know that was a thing. I am guessing cracking the valve at the bottom isn't going to let any air out. How do I go about that? I use ether to start the back hoe so I have some laying around. Where should I spray it on the truck? Just...

Well, I got it all back together and it wont start. She turns over but does not make a sound like anything it firing. No backfiring either. It was on TDC after the intake valve closed. I had the crank shaft lined up on the first mark. Injection pump line was dead center on the needle, and the...

Lowbrid... lol. That brought up quite the search results. Well, after watching a handful of youtube videos on 4 strokes and finding TDC, I am pretty sure I am 180 off. I need to get someone to watch the rocker arms why I rotate the drive line. Seems like I will be taking it apart to fixing the...

I have read the directions for this whole process a few times over. I am just looking for experienced affirmation at this point. I am attempting to do this project without removing the radiator or side fender. Because of this, I can not remove the power steering pump. It runs into the radiator...

LD465-1 Timing My timing assembly on my injection pump blew up which led to me replacing it. I just did the timing and am nervous about a few things. Figured I better ask so that I don't have to take it apart again. I have a few questions so I numbered them. 1.) The current engine is an...

So even though my motor is an LD465-1 which calls for the second mark, I should use the 1st mark because a turbo has been added to this engine? Is there any documentation to back this up? I just want to be sure as I really dont want to have to time it twice.

I got that piece figured out. The gears inside the IP were grabbing onto it. I just had to pry from both sides and wiggle it. Quick question about timing. If the engine is an LD465-1 (use 2nd mark) and the IP is from an LDS465-1A (Use 1st mark). I would use the 2nd mark on the crank shaft...

Thanks for the quick answers guys. I will try spinning the drive line between the transfer case and transmission with the transfer case in neutral and transmission in 4 or 5. I got the IP out and am now taking parts from both my IPs to make one good one. I am trying to take the piece off under...

The TM simply says to turn the crank shaft until the timing markers line up. How in the world do you turn the crankshaft? I can't reach it physically as the radiator and fender are still connected. I had to remove my starter to get my IP out. Do I need to reconnect my starter and turn it over...

I love this site. I couldn't have done half the work I've done on my truck without it. Everyone on here is amazing. Regardless if you post a helpful response in this particular thread or not, you are all taking the time to read and help others in various threads. You all share a passion of MVs...

Wow, that is some luck breaking down in front of your shop! It is now snowing pretty hard, and my truck is out in a field.... man... the rest of this project is really going to suck...
