    m35a2 diesel only?? is it worth it??

    Robert, Yes, bybassing the fuel density compensator makes her diesel only. There is not any gain in performance, just improvement in maintainence schedules due to the fact your not putting any ol kind of fuel in the tank. Does this make sense?

    465 engine, which is best?

    Robert, You'll probably do much better than that out on the highway. Ten can be expected off road with that kind of set-up!

    New guy to SS, my deuce mods so far..*pics*

    SG; I had two 3406 4&1/4 CATs in my 88 Cornbinder and 94 Cornbinder (Navistar/Internationals for those not in trucking). They were a "B" and "D" respectively and were also the last of the mechanical CATs no thanks to the EPA. So I'm very familiar with these engines and put well over 1.5...

    Trango, Ok, but how does the turbo impact performance and fuel economy? Plus, is there an intercooler option as well?

    Spicergear, A serious question after my whimsical observation and "Christmas Wish" note. Did you keep the PS or remove it and put other equipment in its position? Second, I noticed on "Millenium Reo" the driver side exhaust went over the engine to meet up with the exhaust on the passenger...

    465 engine, which is best?

    Robert, The LDS 465 which is intended for the five ton but finds its way into the occasional lucky deuce is supreme from the factory for the power and reliability. Remember the addage that if you don't use all the power you don't use up all the engine. This is why the deuce with the LDS is...

    Robert, I'll start looking here in Southern Indiana, Southern Illinios and Western Kentucky. What other axles would you advise me to look for? There's a Dana factory in Henderson, KY about 30 minutes from here that cranks out 50 trailers worth of semi axles per day (1500 axles) and huge...

    Ken, Could you post some pics so maybe I could build one similar? I'm curious about how it looks and I'm good at fab'ing steel when I have the time. TIG and stick are my favs.

    Robert & Kenny, I wish you could post the pictures of your axle project as it is going along. What you gentlemen are talking about is exactly what I'm looking to do on my Deuce. I miss my differential interlock option that I had with my full semis on this truck. After reading what you are...

    M54 starting problem

    Bill, You might wish to include your town or state in your signature. I need to look at your profile in order to know where you are and possibly guide you to some local help. Having the info in your signature would expediate the process.
