I pulled the Pump and took a close look at the aneroid valve. The balder has pin holes in it. It was damaged at the bottom near where the corrosion had been when I unstuck the valve a year earlier. I remember now thinking "I should change this bladder because it looks weak where it was in...
I guess I would guess this truck is either operating normally and I just have it overloaded or over graded or both. Or, I have a fuel issue. Maybe I should replace the fuel filter and put some a half diesel half diesel fuel cleaner in the new filter?
No Allison tech has looked at this transmission since I owned it. But my belief is the transmission is operating normally. Since my rpm dropped precipitously during the climb I do not suspect transmission slipping. Torque converter seemed fine. No funny smell.

Thanks for the help Floridianson. I assembled and fired the puppy right up. Before starting I drained a little fuel from the tank and also drained the filters trying to rid some water, but I did not see much. The truck had not been started in at least five years. After starting the air quickly...

I lost the small stainless steel retaining clip for my M109 465-1 Hercules injection pump. I dissembled and...
Thanks. What is a CUCV? I saw some pictures here that look like my shop van. I thought this was right section. Do you know how I can get that little stainless wire clip for the governor rod connection?
