back to the original topic (sort-of) does anyone make an EGT gauge that looks somewhat original? I haven't been able to find one. I just don't like eyesores that don't match with everything else (and no, I don't want to replace everything in the dash!)

Hopefully some helpful information for someone (maybe y'all already knew this already) but the nozzles from the allen-head screw adjust type are not interchangable with the older shim-type. I have a set of the older shim type that came out of my truck, but i have a single (no good) screw-type...

I've got 2 gallons of <1yr old DOT 5 in central Connecticut that I'd let go for my cost ($50/gal) if someone wants to pick it up, or pay shipping and a few $ for my hassle in packaging. PM me i bought 4 last year when I was totally redoing my brake system, because I can't pass up a good...

I should have mentioned, I'm opening them up, and putting the nozzles into an ultrasonic cleaner. Doesn't seem to be making much difference.

Ok, so I want the 2-hole ones. Just like I thought. Why do lots of vendors say their single-hole ones are for an M35a2 multifuel?

Hey everybody, 1971 M35A2, LDT-465-1C engine rebuilt in '85. Currently has the 2-hole injectors (nozzle ADB-35S-124-7). They're not opening cleanly (some are dribbling at 2600, opening at 3000) and the spray pattern doesn't look too great. Thinking about replacing injectors/nozzles...

is there a NSN difference between the 2 kits? i.e. if I find one for sale, without opening the box, is there a way to tell the difference? similar question on the engine. Can I tell which one I have (engine rebuild date perhaps?) before disassembling? I want to have the parts on hand...

Hi Everybody, i know im probably going to get flamed for even suggesting this, but i'm posting the question anyway. has anyone ever tried to replace a single cylinder sleeve and piston with the engine still in the vehicle (LDT-465-1C)? I recently got a bad oil analysis result, they seem to...

Yes, the oil is probably ancient. The PO claimed he ran straight diesel. I changed the oil soon after I got it, before it was even street registered. I doubt I ran more than a gallon or two of WMO through it before I changed the oil. So that shouldn't have had any significant impact on the...

I'll take it! i'll PM you

I have one of these torque multipliers. no cords, batteries or hoses, and it's cheap. Works great for breaking nuts loose and tightening them. Not good for running them on and off the threads, but one of the best tools I bought for this truck. Quality isn't terribly good, but it's...

here's the scary oil report BTW: I'm trying not to get too concerned, because this oil is likely many years old, but it's still worrysome

Let's see if this is readable

it SEEMS to run normally, but I've never driven another, so I have no idea what "normal" is supposed to be for a deuce. no white smoke, but it cranks for a few seconds before starting. I get blue smoke, but I assume that's because I'm running 50/50 WMO and diesel. I just got the vehicle, and...

Anyone have a multifuel compression test adapter I can borrow or rent? I have the rest of the tester, just not the adapter. I got a bad oil analysis report from Blackstone that they identified high chrome as maybe a broken ring, and high fuel in the oil. I want to do a compression test...
