Also, after I changed the oil, there are some fairly big trees that my friend cut down to 4 ft. high stumps that his tractor can't seem to budge. I was gonna rock them with the truck but when I lined it up with the frame rail and pushed, the back wheels spun, the front axle engaged and it just...

Ok. Trip went great. The engine feels significantly stronger and it maintains 60 mph (gps) with a light throttle now. It feels like a 14 liter engine. I ran it at 2200 rpm, at between 200-210 psi pump pressure and the EGT's stayed at 900 F or lower. I leaned on it kinda hard on purpose on a...

Just drove it around town to check things before the trip tomorrow (which will be a 2 hour drive on the Interstate) and I kept the rail pressure down below 200 psi and the egt's hit about 700-800 F. I was only as high as low range 5th, though, so hardly a real test. I'll be keeping a close eye...

The one that came out was a 45, which had the rail pressure at about 160-170 ("snap test"). It would go to 2200 and I would be careful to not spend much time there. With this higher rail pressure, I let off at 2400 before it could go any higher. The EGT gauge is going in today for it's 25...

I don't. It still had the expansible van body on the rear when I bought it and just looked... ex military. I figure either somebody was into the pump before me to ring it's neck, or just changing the button affected the governed speed and had a huge affect on rail pressure. I'm hoping it's...

I have an M820 I plan to modify extensively into an "expedition rig" over the next 12 years when I hope to retire. I'm just tinkering and playing with it now, slowly adding things that will eventually come together. The end goal for the engine is turbo, piston coolers (I have a machining and...
