    M35a2 block heater

    i would advise doing a google search on heat and the effects it has on different objects in different invironments. we are not talking about air as the cooling system on the deuce has 32qts of coolant in the system .that is what we are trying to heat with the block heater. knowing the deuce...

    wastegates / blow-off-valves

    exactly right ken the waste gated turbo is limited what max boost will be.how much boost have you been able to get out of one of the ported d turbos :?:it seems that is a big mystery

    wastegates / blow-off-valves

    beerslayer you probably have a c or d turbo .thats pretty common for one of those turbos with the fuel turned up.my motor is labeled as a 465 1d but it has a lds427 turbo and the injectiion pump is different to. i believe when it was rebuilt to lds specs at the depot in 92.if you have a c motor...

    wastegates / blow-off-valves

    i would think it to be another oil ring the more oil you can keep on the piston the cooler it will be .rather than just keep enough oil on the piston to lube the cylinder walls i think they wanted to keep enough oil on there to help disapait some of the heat.

    will a 5 ton lds intall to a deuce

    i think it would be better to run the lds since it has more rings per piston, one more oil cooling injector per piston, and lower compression so it can take more air- fuel and will hold up better .you can porbably get the same power from a ldt but it wont be as durable

    wastegates / blow-off-valves

    i'm not sure how much a ported d turbo will flow.i guess youll have to stick it on there and keep us informed of the outcome .but the lds has lower compression ,more rings on the pistons and one more oil cooler tube to the bottom of each piston so it should be able to take a little more air...

    wastegates / blow-off-valves

    a waste gate is there only to limit max boost .the reason the waste gate turbo it better is because it flows more on the compressor side and the exhuast side . so it can make more boost at lower speeds without overfueling. it can take more fuel . the c and d turbos are pretty restrictive and...

    will a 5 ton lds intall to a deuce

    gimpy do you have a pyro on your deuce with the lds.i wonder if there is much difference between the egt and boost with the c turbo on a lds vs an ldt.obviously the lds will hold up better with better piston cooling .but they are the same size engine run at similar rpms the turbo controls a...

    will a 5 ton lds intall to a deuce

    if you go with the waste gate turbo you will have to mod the exhaust to .but there is a big power differ between the waste gate turbo and the others. the waste gate turbo makes more boost down lower in the rpm range giving you more torque.and better drivabilty even though it is limited to less...

    Deuce modern equivalent?

    i am quit happy with my deuce .i realize that there are always trade offs.i realize other trucks may have 6x6 and be more at home on the road .but they are not going to be as good offroad .or be able to be misused and abused like the deuce .they wont be water tight or easy to work on they wont...
