Where did you pull the War Pig picture from? I know that truck, it belonged to a friend of mine and he has since sold it. That picture was taken at the Museum I work at a few years ago. That was when we were in process of straightening the cab out. It was an air drop mishap!

ELC is the "new" type of antifreeze. Extended Life Coolant. I forget the whole story about it, something to do with not being sweet as to not attract animals. It is very acidic and, if used in early products, like the years of all the green things here on SS, will attack rubber components in...

Check to see what it is first or you will start tearing into things that don't need to be messed with. Do the taste test or use a refractometer

Take the oil filler cap off at the valve cover and have a look, do this carefully so if there are drops of water under the cap, you can test them. Mayo on the bottom side means water/coolant in the oil. I ASSUME you are running antifreeze, so, if you have the mayo under the cap, and have...

I do not remember what hub these have, but yes, it is an option. If the fan clutch you have now uses a Cummins fan hub, easy. Just un bolt the clutch from the hub and install the pulley you can find since it will not matter what size you need due to no fan speed. You will beed to change the belt...

My truck had the steps from the tailgate on the bumper when I first got it. It was a kinda far first step. I then got some of the folding steps, much better! I did lots of bush wacking and hill climbs in the desert and never had any issue with hitting the step or having the pins and clips...

Good, not meaning to scare ya, but that is WAY better than a tilt Landoll! It can be scary backin, well moving fwd too, on a tilt bed, I hate that! Just had to do that with a 54k aircraft tug! Yes the "tip over" can be a pucker factor! Take pic of the tracks.....

What kinda parts?

Main controls, throttle pedal, gear selector, ign on, start button, engine stop cable and two brake control sticks. It has a 4 speed auto in it, IIRC, make sure the brakes are set. The sticks should be pulled all the way back and locked with the buttons on the top of the handles. Make sure the...

64K pounds with the rigging, 8' 7" wide squeezed through a 9' 6" wide door.

Sounds like another great time! Unfortunately, two events for me, one being not recovered enough to drive. Have a beverage and sacrifice or blow something up for me!

The FSOV's used on the midrange engines, especially the older one, I forget if it was the Trombetta that was replaces with Synchro Start or the other way around, did have a tendency burn up coils. SOMEWHERE here there resistance values posted for them. When it shuts off, take a resistance...

The rubber seal at the bottom of the stat, the bulb end, seals outside leaks. The thermostat seal, the lip seal down in the housing, prevents leakage form the block loop to the cooling loop. If the seal wasn't there, there would be a slow steady overheat condition because the path of least...

Old stuff ran hardest at higher rpm. That is why the stinger came about on the PT pump. The plug in the gov hsg is removed and a rod welded/brazed to the end of the plug. Defeats the governor and you have almost unlimited RPM. As RPM comes up, so does the fuel pressure. Yes, the torque was a bit...

That is because an engine turning at a lower RPM burns less fuel, back then, they knew that but hadn't figured out how to move the torque curve to 12-1600 rpm, they made the best at 2000 +. Also, back then you couldn't have used the "gear fast, run slow" concept of today because there was no...

Might. And there are plenty on threads on it. With pictures. @162tcat, I just saw this thread. That would I believe, be a PTR style fuel punp. The ones with the ball in the shaft are PTG. PTR were used early on, and had external aneroid on turbo applications. PTG was later and incorporated the...

You can shift 2-5 in low and do a quick shift to high and I think it was 3rd gear and continue on. I only used 1st low or high if I was in the dirt playing around.

How is a pintle injector tip honed?

How are you gonna add piston cooling nozzles....asking for a friend
