This is what I'm trying to do with mine. The first SOS I went to refused to write it as anything but a commercial plate. I now have the plate number of a Michigan M35A2 that has a regular truck plate, so when I go back in a month or so, I will use that as my example at a different SOS branch of...

My commercial/private use policy through State Farm is $600/year for a stated value of $15,000 and full coverage. Plates are an ongoing story...

Winter build season... cabin fever... tax returns.... I'm shopping pyros right now, and unless someone knows of a better deal, the Auber Instuments seems to be the best option. I will be using the EGT triggered design for my build. Boost gauge as well. I'll post my progress as it comes together.

Modern lube will do wonders all by itself, but not driving them overloaded and with your foot to the floor while you get shot at should have a nice side effect as well. (Never forget how much of a target those kids were, or how many never made it home.) We have a number of these threads again...

Good luck man... take video.

The Cummins? Because you could modify the injection timing so easily to compensate for different fuels. Maybe even a dual or triple injector system. One "normal" diesel mist injector, one liquid MAN style injector and one gaseous injector in the intake for propane or natural gas and a nice...

Merry Christmas! Just a suspicion, backed by the wrist pin talk we had here, but I thought hollow pins were LDT and solid were LDS. I'll look it up when I have time if one of you doesn't beat me to it to verify, but I remember thinking the solid (heavy) offset the lighter weight of the LDS...

Same cam. Same rockers. Same heads. Same injectors. The two pistons have the same compression ratio, and have been found in either engine. The difference between the pistons is the internal oil cooling channel and the wrist pin. Same block. Same crank. Same rods. Read the whole thread... we...

For those rates he should be buried in museum work until the end of time.

I simply related the method as told by another site member in the sticky (now that I bothered to look for you.) The quarters increase pressure on the piston simulating thinner fuel conditions... another way to say it would be, that it increases spring pressure simulating thinner fuel... I know...

Thinner fuel... like gasoline... makes the injection pump crank the pressure. More pressure for a given injection event means more fuel in cc/ml terms, and the less energetic "light" fuel is "Compensated" for with the increased fuel volume. It is a piston, spring and wedge on the smoke screw...

Everything in this quote is wrong. The rest of that post was basically correct. There are a ton of threads on this, but this last part couldn't be allowed to stand and cause confusion. It is multifuel due to the timing, liquid injection ( as opposed to mist), piston/quench design, and the...

Isn't that one of the South African conversions?

So to avoid using a common electric transfer pump, you can spend 10 times as much and get a PTO/pump/plumbing. Are you Amish? I would have though the truck would be enough to preclude that... I'm stumped. Why?

Yep. More boost at lower RPM levels to compensate for the increased fuel. I'm actually considering finding a "D" myself and dumping my "C" just because the "D" has a more robust design. Not really interested in a wastegated pinwheel though, the D will do me fine. The pump pushes more fuel...

Another good reason for overdrive. [/shameless plug] :beer:

Camshaft Fed. stock #2815 808 6978. Same cam. As per post #36

I would just like trustworthy rod bolts and a balanced rotating assembly. Mine is tight, low time and not a rebuild... so it's a little lower on my priority list. Oh yeah... I have the LDS pump as well, so it's a crapshoot what my power is right now.

From all available data, the engines are functionally identical except for the pump/head, timing of that head, the extra cooling in the LDS pistons, and the bigger turbos on some LDS to deal with the increased fuel/power. The LDS/LDT are the same engine in different tune and with different...
