In Colorado you do not need a CDL. The truck is registered as an historic truck/tractor for private use only. My deuce is registered the same way. The license plate has a picture of an old Kenworth tractor on it. I do have mine but I already had it. And yes the trailer needs to be camoed...

Sweet looking truck. Very clean camo paint job. Too bad they painted over the unit markings. As stated you need something big to pull behind it. Find something like this. This thing becomes a mobile club headquarters. You won't be blowing even mopeds away off the light but it sure is a fun...

If you want to live by yourself try the dishwasher. It does a great job also and takes less than 4 days. But if you use it you will probably have 4 days to get out of the house!!

Good news!!! Great news!!!! For all you following this saga, it was definitely the oil cooler. For WillWagner, we have a Cummins specialty shop here in the Denver area called Marini Diesel. The founder worked on these trucks many years ago in the Army. Great bunch of guys. Anyways they...

Since its sitting outside I will put the pan back up with a few bolts to keep dirt out and do as you suggest. Get the oil cooler fixed first, pressure test the whole system again with the pan down then put everything back together. Thanks

I have been figuring for the worse. It is a big relief on the liner or liners Oil pan going back on right away and cooler coming off. Thanks everyone for the advise and tips.Will keep you posted on the next steps.

Hand cranked engine again with a helper watching the piston and liner area. No visible evidence of water coming out around the liner or down the liner anywhere. Only place where water seeped out was rear main bearing. Oil cooler coming off soon.

Will, did what you suggested. Turned engine over to get piston at the top of its travel, coolant system presuurized, and still same results. Only place water was coming from was the rear main bearing. Wiped the bottom of the piston skirt dry before doing this and its still dry with no...

RE: Water/oil intrusion source on a Cummins 5 ton part3 pic You should have called soldier B. Soldier B would have helped if soldier B was around. :} Phil

Ok guys, here is the deal after dropping the oil pan. Check out the pics. With the coolant system pressurized, the only place I am seeing water dripping out is around the rear main bearing. Even caught a drip in the air in the 2nd pic. The truck has been sitting for some time since last...

Sorry it took awhile for an answer. I haven't had a chance to pull the oil pan yet. When I do I'll post the results and hopefully some picture evidence also. Oil cooler sounds to easy so you know its NOT going to be that. Phil

WillWagner, thanks. I will be looking for that and I am real curious what I will find. Won't be done real quick but will let evryone know the results. Phil

Affirmative. Will be it town for a change.

Mike, I might get lucky even if its just the O-rings on the liner. I don't think its the injector sleeve because the coolant level was full and I did not see any water coming out from the sleeve area nor was there water on top of the piston. Can see down in there there with the injector out...

This story continues. I have bigtime water intrusion into the oil and oil intrusion into the water on my 1972 Cummnins powered M818. See "Help needed!! 250 Cummins loose headbolt part two" posted 26 Jun 08. I pressurized the coolant system as someone suggested with the oil pan still on...

Really nice looking l truck. Does look like that bed was made for the truck. Now you have a M52-35A2!

NOT!! Most of us drive these old warriors relatively little over a year. To me if you go completely through the lube order once every few years that should keep these trucks running up to par except for the brake system. All of these air over hydraulic based trucks need to have that master...

Looks like further disassembly will be required. For WillWagner, pressurize the coolant system via one of the petcock vents up top? 5 PSI or soemtning low like that should be enough? I would tend to think liner problem also becasue of the other symptoms. For FreightTrain, I did not see any...

My problem was not fixed. Refer to post “Head bolt torque, take a good look at this” for my original problem. Well after removing the rear head, cleaning up things and reassembling the motor, I still have the same problem of water to oil and oil to water transfer. And pretty sure I still have...

Actually looks reallly good. The standup feature makes it even better. Have knocked my head on a crossbow many times. Phil
