    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    The 57k1318 piston kits have two compression rings that have a different part number instead of three rings of the same part number. I have also deleted my fuel compensator. The piston kit were made in 1998 and I think running multiple fuels was not in mind with the changes in the piston. That...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I have been running pump diesel for over 200 miles without any issues with piston kits part number 57k1318/ 2815-00-134-077 after my LDS conversion. I did have to turn down my injection pump 4 flats and my EGT's are at 1100. I had installed the Pistons before I did the LDS conversion and had...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I did not measure the ldt piston that I had removed. I looked at both ldt and the lds piston and I did see a difference. The only thing that was different was the duel tip piston cooler that came with the lds kit. The other difference was the oil port on the lds rocker arm that pools more oil on...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Here is a pic I took today of the other side of the intake and engine bay. Getting rid of the m35a2 filter opens things up a bit.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I am sorry for this after thought, but I put the five tone piston liner kits in my truck and the kit came with duel nozzle piston coolers where the originals were single. Just a FYI!

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    The egt's is why I turned my fuel down four flats. I had the same reading on my first run of 1300 f.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I turned up the fuel two flats and it seems to be the sweet spot. I have turned down the injection pump 4 flat from it original setting. Ambient temperature durning the test was 35 f. I went around on the back roads up down hill for 10 miles and everything was good Egt's of 1100 f turbo boost 13...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    My egt's were 1100 with the stock injection pump, rocker arm and injectors. Egt's of 1100 was my base line for the test. I then installed the lds rocker arms my Egt's decreased to 900. The engine had a different sound and more power. My fuel pressure was around 425 and I did want to blow the...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I reduced the fuel 6 flats and took a 20 mile drive today. The truck is running great. I had an Egt of 1025, so I am going up to flats on the injection pump. The new rocker arm were tight and the engine had some valve train noise for about 17 miles, but that quited down. There is a lot more...

    Deuce muffler option

    The Cat in a m35 a3 requires 450 CFM for the intake. So my best guess would be that A3 filter housing is capable of 550 to 600 CFM.

    Deuce muffler option

    Some times you have to bite the bullet and buy the new one. It is a set back. It is less work as well.

    Deuce muffler option

    A lot more CFM of air is the main thing. It moves the filter housing from the engine bay and gives you more room to work on the engine. It make less noise because of it location outside of the engine bay. It takes in air about two feet higher than the stock cleaner and has turbulators to drop...
