Why not keep it original and do what we did in Vietnam. A good thick layer of sand bags cuts down on the noise and small bits of shrapnel. Ken

The specs changed sometime since Vietnam. The current 24087 is not the same as the Vietnam era 24087. The old 24087 was renamed 24084. Can anyone confirm this? Ken

Looks really good. One question. What is the paint can sitting on in picture #5? Ken

ihscoutsniper, I don't know what you are looking for as far as "opinions" are concerned. This whole website is packed full of "opinions" that run the gamut. Look around. I guess if you get 5 opinions for your position and 4 against then you'll go ahead and butcher a truck to make your "silk...

I have a copy of TM 9-2990-201-40&P titled "GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (INCLUDING REPAIR PARTS AND SPECIAL TOOLS LIST) FOR TURBOCHARGER, ENGINE ASSEMBLY: SDCHWITZER MODEL 4-456, 4D-454C, 4D-554, 4LE-354, 4LE-456, 3LJ-319, 3LD-305" dated 1979. I purchased it from Portrayal Press and it...

I should add that the manual does not cover the "D" (Schwitzer 3LM-319) turbo specifically but does cover up to the "C" (Schwitzer 3LJ-319). The fits should be close if not identical between the two.

Mike, I got a copy of the manual from Portrayal Press. The fit of the bearing in the housing is .0031 to .0041. The fit of the shaft in the bearing is .0002 to .0018. Add these up and you get a total true radial movement of the shaft to the housing of .0033 to .0059. However, they measure the...

I replaced my weatherstripping with some from Steele Rubber and it fit perfectly. www.steelerubber.com P/N 70-0145-73 Do a search on "independent American makes" and scroll down to door weatherstripping. You'll see cross-sectional diagrams of what they offer.

The manual you are looking for is TM 9-2990-201-40&P. It dosn't cover all the turbos but enough to get you going. Portrayal Press sells them. I've rebuilt a couple myself. No problems so far. Parts may be hard to find and expensive. Schwitzer (Borg-Warner) had kits for the "D" (3LM) turbo a...

Now that I have your attention, :? I am in need of a whistler turbo for my M35. This would be Schwitzer model 3LG-319. I can either purchase it outright or if you are tired of the noise, I have a non-whistler for trade. My non-whistler is rebuilt and has about 20 minutes on it to make sure...
