    5 ton combat wheel on M54, inserts required???

    What you say goes for any automobile, no argument there!! .A Car, truck, semi, motorcycle, 2.5 ton 5 ton 10 ton etc. makes no difference . The fact is a bead lock insert or insert of any kind is not required in the wheels to hold air and carry the load they are designed to carry.

    5 ton combat wheel on M54, inserts required???

    Right I realize they are tubless design, I was told i need to have inserts inside. I dont have them. So if i can run without inserts or tubes… that would be wonderful! Thanks

    5 ton combat wheel on M54, inserts required???

    I have looked, searched, tried to find info on the 5 ton combat wheels. Or at least I believe thats what they are, have not bought them yet. I would like to put singles on my M54 log truck. I am wondering about mounting 395s on a set. Issue Im curious about is do you need inserts? Can you run...

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    Bypassed FDC Well I finally did it, drove it, watched EGTs. I must say what a difference, it's a totally different truck. It gets up and goes now. I will however say I deffinatly have to keep my eyes on the exhaust temp though. I can easily get it over 1200 degrees with ease. I turned the fuel...

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    I know with my little cummins motors that a different turbo can play a role in EGT temps. We swaped turbos on our "500"hp E9 Mack at work and it alone dropped Egts and water temp as well as gaining boost with out changing any fuel rate. Didn't know if a turbo from a later model multifuel has...

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    I gues I can always hook it back up if I can't keep heat down. So if you think I can make it work I may have to try. I will however get boost guage in first and see how she does then bypass and compare vitals. Thanks

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    I drilled and taped the pyro pre turbo on rear manifold set, Its functional. I wanted to see what she does before I mess with fuel screw or FDC to much. Normal acceleration and shifting it goes up to 950 degrees and would peak around 1040ish when id hold my foot in it for awhile. I then Went to...

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    All our quads and heavy haulers at work are post turbo and recommend to not exceed 1100 degrees. I have two post turbo cummins pyros. But wasnt sure the best location on the multifuels. Ive also read and heard people drilling a running motor manifold and greasing the tap. Just haven't tried it...

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    Went for a trip yesterday to watch mud bog. Truck ran really nice and would get up to cruising speed nicely. I kept fuel psi guage in for trip to make sure there was nothing wrong elsewhere. I'm hoping today to intall pyro and bypass FDC and go for another trip. Compare the diference

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    Hey you two, here's more of the situation that I'm dealing with. I installed the new pump today. Plug is a little different style than the original but works. I was able to use the oil psi guage and have around 5psi with switch on, 35 psi at low idle, and 70-75 at high idle. Seems to rev up...

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    I agree with your edit. I don't have a tech manual to know what pressures are suppose to be when and where on these multifuels. I greatly apprieciated yours and everybody's help and inputs. Even the greatest mechanics need help once in awhile ;). My knowledge on these systems is growing...
