I may be a stubborn irishman but I still am not sold on hese new style clutch discs espcially after seeing how the one in the truck fell apart I'd rather use this style...
I just spent an hour digging through the TM's trying to find something on the Oilpumps. I found the reinstall TM but it shows different procedures for the LDS 465-2 vs everything else although that might be because of the pickup tubes. Still working on it. gotta figure it out .
Thanks,
The liner came apart because the PO was a moron. He screwed with the IP fuel control group because the shutoff was stuck and he put in on backwards and the truck ranaway bad.
I'm guessing the oil pumps are the same..

I need the pickup tube gaskets. I guess I will call them tomorrow and maybe they know which ones I need.
I gotta tell you I am not in love with that cheesy clutch disc. I would rather have a full disc.
So I am at a standstill until I get a new clutch and also determine if I can use the LDS oil pump or do I need to buy one for an LDT..
Well if there was any doubt about replacing vs repairing the motor...It is settled now. The liner came apart. The PO is a dirtbag. There is no way he didn't know this engine was damaged. What is even worse is he smoked a brand new clutch. The flywheel even looked new...:mad:
I wonder if I could...
My crossmember is removable and I did remove it however it was not enough. I would say the front bumper would have to come off to do it right as well.
The video is a bit long but this is really a two person job. Unfortunatley, I am only one person so I have to get creative sometimes.
My 8 yr old...
That was gonna be my next question. I believe my new motor has the oilpump off a 5 ton on it. I think the PO took the whole oilpump and pickup tube assmbly and swapped it to the LDS and put the 5 ton oil pump back on my LDT. Can I just use my pickup tubes with the 5 ton oil pump ? My LDT Oil...
Well, I got it out as one unit bymyself. It was not fun. Minimal damage. Scraped a few things and messed up the fuel lever on the inj pump but that motor is going for scrap anyway. The oil pan did not get damaged and that is what I needed off it. It can be done in one shot but the mistake I made...
Yep, that was the plan. I have however run into a stumbling block. Looking at it this morning, planning the pull, there is no way to safely support the transmission so I need to either drop it on the ground first or pull it with the motor which may be more than my skidsteer can handle. I have to...
Then you forgot something...:doh::doh:
Hopefully you used some blue loctite on the bolts that go in from the back side of th timing case cover to the Pump.
A powerstroke ??lol...You need an M1008. I pulled my Deuce no problem with my M1008. Need weigh and traction...something no Powerstroke will ever have over a M1008. Not stock anyway.
Well did a major cleanup and tool round up before I get started so I am not looking for stuff but I did get the radiator out. Pretty easy actually. Disconnect both hoses. The bottom one is a PIA but luckily it was not stuck on. The two bottom bolts with teh springs looked kinda ugly but the...
The motor currently has the wrong oilpan and pickup tube as the PO took it out for an LDS swp and put the LDS parts back on this motor to keep it closed up.
My question is when I put my pickup tub and pan on it, should I prime the oil pump especially since it's been sitting ? And how would I...
