I jsut put a new radiator on, I've checked the thermostst, and flushed the whole cooling system, and my truck still runs at just a hair under 200 degrees. Is this really abnormal? If so, what should I check next?

I'm looking for a used or even a rebuildable radiator for my duece. My fan ate mine and it was going to be $700 to re-core it. I would gladly pay for one that has a small fixable leak. Please let me know if you have anything. I could also use a fan blade. Mine could be bent back into shape, but...

could someone let me know if a 5ton radiator would work in a duece without modification? I can't find one for a duece but there is a 5ton availible to me for $50.

I've been having overheating problems with my duece, so I flushed the system and it seemed to be working, but I had too many things going at once. I forgot to hook the bracket that holds the radiator in place and my fan hit it. So here I am feeling very stupid and needing a radiator and possible...

My truck is running over 200 degrees. I'm pretty sure the temp sending unit is fine because I'm seeing signes of water spraying out from the radiator cap. Any advice on what I should do? I want to check thethermostat but am not sure were it is. I really don't want to kill my truck and at this...

Would a 5 ton motor work in a duece? What would the difference be? The one that says "5 ton" on the container, says ldt-465 on the ID plate. Did 5 ton trucks use that motor too? I'll include the rest of the pictures I have. they're not closeups, but different angles. I'm also putting the...

hello, anyone have some brackets? I'm trying to put a winch on my truck. thank you, jake

I recently bought two ldt -465 engines out of great lakes IL from GL. I finally was able to go get them last weekend. I bought them because my truck doesn't have a turbo, and I want to convert. I opened the boxes to inspect them and noticed they were very different. One is huge, probably twice...

Hello, I'm looking for some winch parts. Basically all I have is the winch and shaft. I want to find a PTO with two shafts, but they seem to be really expensive. Someone has offered me one for the drivers side, so If someone else has the other, that would be cool, but I imagine they will...

emmado22 said That looks like a Condition Code B to me written on the can... Used but serviceable. If you look at the back corner of that can, it also says 5ton. That was the thing that worried me. I guess, if that is a 5ton engine, it won't help me, and if it's not a 5ton, it's probably...

I bought two engines thinking they where for a duece, and Iwas looking at the pictures and noticed writing on one container that looks to say 5ton. can you tell buy looking. I'll add pictures and try a link. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=871776...

Feeling stupid for this one. What should my truck run for a temperature? I took it for a spin today, looked down, and the temp gage was at or over 240. The fluid level is fine. Any Ideas????

Are 135 rims different than duece rims? If so , how?? I also would like to know where to pick some of those up. Do you have to run tubes?

any pictures you could send would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Just got a winch and am trying to figure out what else I need and what I need to do to put it together. woundering if anyone has this manual(TM 9-3830-206-34p). thanks, jake
