Totally agree with you.

Really there is no difference except a couple more tons of weight travelling down the road. Don't get me wrong. I plan on going to disc brakes when I can afford to, but the "powers that be" sometimes don't see things the way we do. Also if the party that gets hit if your in an accident has a...

That has worked for me in the past. Cussing loudly really does help too ! The faster you can get that engine to spin the higher the chance you will have of it firing on at least a couple of cylinders. The compression created from the faster spinning engine will help push the rings against the...

Yeah. We do live in a litigious society ! My son is thinking of taking Law in college now. Guess I'll need to stop telling that old joke about "10,000 lawyers on the bottom of the ocean" !

There where a whole lot of "Bad" silicone axle boots from China a few years back. They would fail after just a few days ! Some would get a years worth of use, then failure. Supposedly there was some company making them here in the good old USA out of quality material. I cannot remember their...

Yes. If you can just get that engine to fire on just two cylinders, the others ones will come around. Of course it will sound and smoke like the world is coming to an end ! I had a 1940 IHC bull dozer that would constantly rust up rings (Of course it sat for most of the year) and the first...

Sure it could be done. You would need to beef up the firewall for support, but yeah it should work fine. I just need the extra room in the engine compartment. Having the master cylinder sticking out in there would hit stuff I already have there, like my heater box for one.

Hey Guy ! Having worked on Diesels that had set for years I've found the most common cause of "No Start" to be lack of compression. The cylinder walls loose all oil and the compression rings then "rust" to the walls. Even after you brake them free they are in a "compressed" mode and won't seal...

I'd buy that in a heart beat if I could afford to have that brought out here !!! Very Cool !!!

Have you had any success in getting this engine started ? Very curious.

And this has "what" to do with my "Deuce" battery tray slides ? Sounds like someone is in the wrong section. The 939 series trucks are in another place.

What are you ranting about ? The guy just wanted a little more HP, which a slightly larger and faster spooling turbo will provide. As far as telling me how much compression the deuce had, I cannot remember all the details about a particular engine, as I worked on ALL engines. Considering I said...

That's so funny ! My father used to tell us how he and his brothers and sisters had to walk 10 miles through the Bad Lands past the Indian Reservation (Sioux I believe) to reach a one room school house. Of course that was in the 20's . I believe the town is still there. Glendo, South Dakota . Of...

I replaced my filter years ago with the newer M35A3 filter. Really no noticeable difference. Higher flow and everything. The problem is and has been the Turbo and restrictive air manifold. The factory Turbo was only installed to eliminate "Black Smoke" from the engine to calm down the...

I just stay with Shell Synthetic 50w Gear oil. I buy it in 5 gallon pails from the Shell Dealer.

I would not touch the master cylinder yet. I believe you have a problem with the linkage or airpack. Do you have dual airpacks ? Check the linkage going to the master cylinder. If your brakes are not fully adjusted the "throw" of the linkage can be too much. Sometimes this can cause the...

I never said it would make reliable HP. Just if he wanted a "little more" power then go with a new Turbo. Need to read what was posted, not make assumptions.

Also I forgot to add last night that if this hole has not caused problems for the last 3 to 4 decades, it is not the problem now. The problem is gunk in the system like I said earlier. Did you replace all the flexible hoses when you did your brake system ? They can rot from the inside out...

When I read the part about "removing it" I had assumed he meant eliminating the hole to remove the problem. Now since there is debris in the system it needs to be cleaned out.

Remember the military asked for the cheapest trucks that could do the job. The manufactures did their best with what they had, but many times it was not optimal just expedient. Hence batteries in the cab. Of course we can fix this with our own upgrades ! Like my heavy duty battery tray slides.
