You don't like severe under steer?

Welcome from north la.

Judging by the diagram rusty posted I think the turbo is lubed from the same circuit as the camshaft. But it's hard to tell on my phone.

If I remember correctly one bypass is for the engine and one is for the turbo. If you decide to fiddle with the regulator I wouldn't mess with the turbo bypass. No sense in blowing out the oil seals in the turbo.

I'll take a picture this weekend. So far mines the only data plate like it I have seen.

365/80/20 or 14.5-20 are about the same diameter as 11.00-20's. In fact you could keep an 11.00-20 on an a2 wheel for the spare. The problem with those tires is they tend to be pretty expensive due to their low volume in surplus. I'm a big fan of the 395s but that's just me. They will...

A3 wheels are 11 inches wide. That's way to wide for an 11.00-20 of any make.

That would be the most sensible way. Is that how it's done? No idea. A big part of mix and match parts may be because of suppliers going out of business. Such as continental. If you have a Continental block rebuilt in the late 80's or 90's then chances are you have hercules/white parts in...

Even if you have a tag saying continental or whatever make, there's no doubt that a head from a hercules or something could be on it. Or vise versa. Heck you could have lds parts in an ldt.

No Greg, I literally mean I don't know who made my engine. My data plate just says multifuel. Mine was rebuilt in 91. I guess they pulled the data plate and swapped it for a generic plate. The rebuild plate underneath it has the rod and main bearings listed that they used and a few other bits...

Mines a mystery engine. If it ever craps out I don't know which manufacturer to blame.

It depends on what the bypass is set to open at already. If your not building enough pressure to open them now then adding spring tension to them won't increase oil pressure. I don't know what they are set at from the factory. I don't know if it hurts anything to try.

Sounds like a gear with a couple of teeth missing somewhere.

If continental is the problem child then I bet the reason is numbers. Continental seems to be the most prolific engine brand. It also tends to be some of the older engines that may have been rebuilt one or more times. White engines having the check valve would kinda make sense. Especially...

Be careful putting a detroit locker in the front axle. When it engages it can snatch the steering wheel right out of your hands. I'm not saying don't do it. Just be aware of the possibilities.

Bench bleeding won't help you. Does the fluid level drop? Have you inspected each wheel cylinder? Have you adjusted the shoes at each wheel? When you bled the brakes did you bleed the airpack first?

By the time I'm done painting mine I won't even want to look at a paint gun or da sander. Nice job. I hope mine turns out that nice.

The ndcc's are biased ply tires. The 395's are radials. Bias tires aren't hurt sitting flat nearly as much as radial tires.

Got my cab primed yesterday. Woohoo. Finally, getting going on paint.

By the looks of that tire my guess is it sat flat for a long time. This weakens the sidewall belting.
