    M51A2 Broke Could use some info.

    Interestingly enough, I scoured through each of the TMs listed on this site under the m39 series looking for the name of that part and I couldn't find it. TM9-2910-226-34 was not listed there while is clearly applies to the m39 and that part name was easy to find there. Its on multiple pages...

    M51A2 Broke Could use some info.

    Wow, something as simple as removing the lines completely one at a time. Why didn't I think of that... That will definitely make access a breeze. Realizations like that make me feel like a complete idiot. Thanks gimpyrobb.

    M51A2 Broke Could use some info.

    An update for anyone interested. I found TM9-2320-211-34-2-1 (MAINTENANCEDIRECT SUPPORT AND GENERAL SUPPORT LEVEL5-TON, 6X6, M39 SERIES(MULTIFUEL)) This TM contains the whole process of removing, adding, and timing the IP. I am still not convinced this piece is called a governor. I took the...

    M931A1 ? about plug in the bottom of bell housing?

    I am no mechanic but I know the parts that Iv'e worked on. I haven't had to touch anything behind the motor aside from changing out the fluids over a year ago now. I read the TMs regarding the engine and changed the head gaskets myself. She ran better than ever until my injection pump broke...

    M931A1 ? about plug in the bottom of bell housing?

    M51A2 Should this hole be plugged? I was crawling under my truck yesterday when I saw a bolt missing in my... transmission? transfer case? Im not really sure. See the picture for a better reference. Do I need to get a plug for this? Thanks in advanced. Jason

    M51A2 Broke Could use some info.

    I got this a little backwards. When the original LDS motor blew, Someone installed this LDT motor for me and kept the injection pump from the LDS. So the injection pump that is laying with my old LDS motor is actually off the LDT. So I would be adding an LDT injection pump back to the LDT...

    M51A2 Broke Could use some info.

    Someone told me that this is my governor but I wanted to check in with you guys and make sure. Its a cylinder shaped object between my steering pump and injector pump. It had 3 springs in it that blew out the bottom and are now resting on my axle. See picture below. I have a couple questions...

    PNW Info Thread!

    Sounds to me like your typical mis-informed employee. A mis-informed officer can be quite the obstacle. Best to either go back when he is off shift, or go to another WSP location. Worst case scenario, bring your truck over here to Idaho and we'll license her here and transfer it back once all...

    Is a smaller exhaust pipe an issue?

    Just to follow up. I ended up ordering the pipe from white owl. My current pipe was to weak to weld back together.

    2016 PNW East Campout Convoy

    Wish I would have caught wind of this sooner. Sounds like it would have been a blast! 246 miles to Joseph county for me. That does make me a little nervous to drive my dump that far.

    What paint to use on exhaust/engine?

    I put this dump truck to work. :) Was hoping to find something that will last. I might just grab the closest color in high temp grill paint I can find.

    Is a smaller exhaust pipe an issue?

    Memphis doesn't carry my pipe. Whites Owl does. http://whiteowlparts.com/store/store.php?crn=283&rn=813&action=show_detail (*Edit: That's weird. You have to copy and past this link to work. Clicking on it takes you to their default store page.) $110.00, $155.00 after shipping for the pipe...

    Is a smaller exhaust pipe an issue?

    I have an M51A2. There is a big hole in my lower exhaust pipe. I took it down to the muffler shop and they want to replace my whole 3.5" pipe with 3" pipe since that is the biggest they can bend. I have two issue with this. 1.) Can this impact performance in any way or nothing to worry...

    What paint to use on exhaust/engine?

    Im painting my m51a2 dump. Its CARC 383. I am using Behr paint which of course can't be used on the exhaust or engine. What should I use to paint my exhaust pipe/engine? I was concerned about getting the colors to match. Also, are there any concerns when painting the top of my engine. Was...

    LDT Head Gasket swap. How many shop hours?

    I just left the fuel pump on for about 5 minutes before turning the ignition and she fired up without skipping a beat. I know there wasn't a drop of fuel in the fuel lines around the injectors. I guess bleeding isn't really needed on these rigs. Well, that concludes my project. My RPM gauge...

    LDT Head Gasket swap. How many shop hours?

    Finally all wrapped up. Just need to go see if it starts. Do I need to bleed the injectors or should it just start up?

    LDT Head Gasket swap. How many shop hours?

    I cleaned my block up and noticed the back two pistons have some damage. They have indents on the edge facing each other. Also, the metal ring around the piston hole is slightly bumped up. Is this indicative of an issue? What can be done?

    LDT Head Gasket swap. How many shop hours?

    Since USPS will be covering the shipping this round, he joked that he might put a board in there to prevent bending.

    LDT Head Gasket swap. How many shop hours?

    I definitely dont think it was the seller. USPS for sure. We've all seen the occasional package mangled from any carrier. I just meant that circumstances would have been different and the package would have likely not been handled by the same people or at the same time.
