Turbo or non turbo??

[SCOTTWETZEL]

OK, dont kill me cause I am a newbie and I did do some research and didnt find any where. How can I tell if a Deuce has a turbo or non turbo engine? I dont know what engine does and doesnt. Again Im very interested in these vehicles and am trying to learn as much as possible. Again please settle down on the flaming on me. Thanks for any response.

Well not to sound like a Jerk or anything.. but look. Open the Hood and look for the turbo on the right side of the engine. You can not tell by vin, contract, ect.. numbers.

What if the vehicle is not present? How can I tell? Im talking about when your looking at online auctions.

If you can't see it, you won't know.

If your looking at just a picture check for a smaller exhaust stack and a muffler peeking out from the passenger fender. Also like westy said.. look on the passenger side of the engine for a big honking thing of ma jig that goes Wrrrrrrrrr...Wrrrrrrrr... Just playing and welcome to the site.

But as of the engine codes none specify turbo? weird

Exhaust Stack Diameter 5 inches will be with a Turbo and it will be visibly larger in diameter in decent photo non-turbo's about 3inches and will be smaller when compared. That is the easiest way to do so if you cannot see one in a photo.

So r there more non turbo deuces then turbo deuces for sale out there?

One problem appears to be that there were a lot of retrofits, and rebuilds. The engine codes LD-465 indicates a non-turbo, LDT-465-C is whistler turbo, LDT-465-D is non-whistler turbo, but the turbochargers were added on to reduce smoke and not to add power. I'm not sure if the Army may have added turbos to LD-465 engines during an overhaul or not. It appears that members here have traded 'c' turbos for 'd' and vice versa, depending on how they like the sound. The non-turbo and turbo models were both rated around 130hp.

Also GL does not do a great job of maintaining accuracy on their descriptions. The turbo will be on the passenger side of the engine, and a non-turbo wrecker or 5 ton will often have the air cleaner can out on the fender, but the Deuce tends to just have a 'mushroom' air intake exposed.

mine is a turbo, and i do not think it is 5 inch diameter

lemme see if i have pics of a turbo on mine, i will add an arrow to point to das turbine

 

[gimpyrobb]

Thats not entirerly true. The turbos are C and D respectivly, but the motor code does not reflect which it is. Also, All the 5tons will have an air filter on the fender, unless its a gasser. I have never seen a non turbo multi in a 5ton.

Turbo is 3.5 inch exhaust. Non turbo is 2.5 inch Cummins in 5-tons are non-turbo, Multi's in 5-ton are turbo

here is what a turbo looks like, the first pic is of the actual turbo, the second pic shows the top of the engine, the turbo itself is actually hidden, but you can see it from the passenger side of the truck with the hood up

 

[Recovry4x4]

Paste the pic here on this thread and one of us should be able to tell.

The key to telling a turbo in the GL photos is the connector to the aircleaner (see attached photo taken from avengeusa's post). My M109A3 is non-turbo. On a non-turbo the connector is about 2 inches longer and doesn't have the slight bulge in the middle.

 

[drgreg]

Non-turbo.

 

[m16ty]

So r there more non turbo deuces then turbo deuces for sale out there?

No. Most you run across will have a turbo. Even most of the original non-turbo trucks and some gassers have been converted to turbo by the military if they are recently released from the Gov. That and the fact that many more turbo trucks were produced through out their production run.

 

[SCOTTWETZEL]

So since this engine has a buldge in the intake its a turbo motor? Cause you cant really see the turbo.

 

[Westech]

That is a turbo Multi fuel engine.

Thanks Westech... U guys have been a ton of help. So look for the buldge and its a turbo... I got it!
