Phbckt is set to upload 640 by 480, but sometimes the forum still tells me file is too big. I just uploaded a bunch the other night and was going to post them, but they won't post. Probably have to delete and reload all of them. I resize to 400 x 400 and it still tells me too big. Sometimes...

Remove and repair HH and inj lines, fuel pump, check fuel system function, replace oil cooler, replace differential, etc.? No problem. Install dipstick properly? Uh.... :shrugs::roll:

Well, this is embarrassing. It actually does fit. I just had to start it 180° from the way it was or wants to go in because it's kind of bent and force it in and I got to go all the way down and screw in. Sorry

After reading that thread, it looks like mine is already in the "correct" forward position, but it ain't right. I can't get it alll the way down and screwed in, and if I pull it in or out with the engine running, I can feel the crank or something hitting it. It's bent and hits against the side...

Something about relocating when a 5ton engine is put in a deuce. Flip oil pan around, etc. The guy with the big red bobber did it. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?12675-Re-Powering-The-Deuce-With-A-5-Ton-LDS-465-1A-Engine

Something about relocating when a 5ton engine is put in a deuce. Flip oil pan around, etc. Gotta search it up unless I get lucky and somebody comes by and 'splains me. The guy with the big red bobber did it.

Was gonna relocate dipstick, but block isn't tapped for dipstick in the forward boss, LDT block with LDS turbo...? More investigating required... Oil leak down the side of the block looks like it's coming from the exh mani stud, there is an exh leak there. Maybe the studs penetrate the oil...

I'm roughing it...gauge goes to 60, it was about 10 psi past that...I'm pretty sure the LDS is up to 75 or 80 psi. I think some of the booster pumps said 80 psi on them. Course mine supposedly isn't a LDS pump, but who knows, maybe an inj pump guy made it close to what it oughta be. I'm happy...

Gotcha. She's been runnin a couple weeks. Adjusted the valves tonight, some were very loose, purrs now. might check out my threads in the deuce section, kind of an interesting truck IMO, but I'm biased. EDIT-thread in my sig

Adjusted the valves tonight. Most of them were a few thou tight, but 4, 5, and 6 exhaust were looser and looser, 6 being maybe 1/16" loose. I took some videos. Purrs like a mountain lion now. Oh oh and per the LDS troubleshooting manual no load test, 3,000 RPM. Zoinks! About 70 psi at the...

I've been working on it. I'm about halfway through I think. I'm mostly trying to nail down specific differences in the pumps so that I can make the best of my pump without spending a grand or two on the correct pump for the LDS. Thanks

I have been searching forum specific, but did not know about the other search setting. WIN! Thank you!

I am a fast reader, and can scan quickly. I also use CTRL-F to search pages for terms, but when a thread is 50 pages long, clicking through them takes forever. ...aha! I found in settings where I can change how many posts are displayed per page. I changed it to 40. Biiig difference, don't...

I think I saw yours somewhere while I was searching the forum for the procedure already, saved the pic, thanks. Your linky no worky though. :-) I think I will use one of my injector holders while I have them out, as I don't have an extra. Sure wish I had and extra blown up engine around to...

It occurred to me while searching that long threads (such as long build threads) are frustrating because when I search for a particular term, I have to read through all the pages in the thread to find where it was mentioned. So, are shorter, one-topic-only threads a better method? Or am I...

Found the compression test in the LDS 427 manual pages 143, 144 by hitting CTRL F and searching for tester, finding the tester part number, and searching for that number. Had fits trying to copy and paste out of the TM or screen shot. Here's the basics. At operating temp : C . (B) Connect...

Sorry, meant to say that I think the truck started as a 427.

gimpyrobb, that's kinda what I thought (I have been running it around the yard a bit, feels a little weak maybe) but whatever I can do easy enough to get some hope it's not gonna go poof on me would be nice. Rayzer, thank you, good idea on the compression, I should have thought of that. I'll...

Hi all. My truck was abused and neglected as a civilian water truck on a farm for years, and then left to sit a few more. I want to go through the engine and make sure it's in good shape before I go any further with the rest of the project and am trying to decide how deep to go. Planning on...
