That's way interesting.

I look it up 130 ft. lbs for the non-TD, so your head was really close.

If you can me tell about hood lift kit.

I am thinking you may have the idea with the back off then retorque. I might torque one to see how it feels first. If there is felt some binding or feels like it is tighter than 157 lbs. the back off will be needed. Thanks

I have no idea, sorry. I do have a correction to make. The oil went down about a 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. Read the oil level wrong. Under the truck, on the tailgate and trailer it did look like 2 Qts.

I feel stupid for asking this question, having been a mechanic for 25 years and a garage owner for 17 years too. My last multi fuel engine gave me so much grief I am gun shy. Five head studs broke at the block after replacing the head gaskets. All were in the water jacket. I bought a new...

Thanks I'll check them out but the fright would be a killer. I just live in the wrong end of the country.

That would be so exciting but I already call them and Mark said he doesn't have any more. They do have LDS short blocks from the pan to the head studs for me 2000, but asking 2500. And a gasket set for 287. That could be the way to go if I can't find a total rebuilt. I an 72 and really don't...

Do you know of any one in Tooele I could contact to see if they have a LDT/LDS laying round for sale?

I'll keep that in mind when the time comes. I am assuming you have done this and could get enough pressure and flow to move the oil into the bearings and filters.

I am looking for a government rebuilt LDT engine. I guess most have been rebuilt in the early 1990"s. What am I looking at in replacement? Can I hopefully install the engine with new oil and filters and light her up and enjoy the drive? Or am I looking at a can of worms? If I am, what is...

Let me also mention the pump hasn't been turned up at all. I pull at 55mph about 5 lbs of boost with a EGT of 900. If i push it up a long hill the boost will hover between 10-12 lbs with a max EGT of 1100f. I am running 25 PSI in all the tires and it steer and holds the road with out any...

These are pictures showing 49 in tires. They are on Boyce rims. There is no lift or rubbing on the exhaust. The truck will run all day at 55MPH at 2200 RPM or 62MPH at 2400 RPM. I used the speedo drive from a 5 ton and the speedo is right on. Getting no less then 10 MPG with a 700 mile run...

I hope the person that invented the FDC got a bonus in his paycheck. What an interesting useful devise when working right to keep power equal with different fuels. I am bobbing and rebuilding frame up an 1971 M35A2, just about ready for paint. The engine is a new D1 and I except it to run fine...

The FDC is really clever on how it works to keep all fuels equal. I understand about the fuel getting back into the oil system. I'll be looking for that to happen, if and when. It's kind of like driving at night here. You will hit a deer. it's not if it's when. My daughter in-law took out...

If I do that I then have to turn down the fuel. Right

I had envision of a jack-in-the-box when I take out the three screws. I understand, I want to do the easy fix first before I try to do the by-pass on the FDC. If I have read right the FDC will still work as intended. All I am doing is turning up the fuel, right. I'll keep a good watch on the...

I'm a old dud and bending and twisting over the fender and around the heater just doesn't work for this old body. I want to try your quarter trick. Will the FDC still work like it was intended too? This will turn up the fuel to, in turn, turn up the heat that will create more boost, that will...

Thanks for the answer. I though it would have been for something really serous.
