I was thinking that using LDS INTAKE rocker arms and an LDS pump should up the hp of the LDT to at least close to where the LDS sits. Maybe 200 is optimistic, but I am sure it would scoot!

Oh, you would grab a set of LDS rocker arms and turn the fuel up! ** evil grin** Yes, the LDS pump works just fine on an LDT. But...rocker arms and enjoy 200+ hp! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

@734 that is a very sane approach. Giving yourself time reduces a lot of stress. If you can get the important systems on your truck working fairly reliably (fuel, brakes, axles, cooling) the truck will soldier on, even if other (minor) things need fixing later.

Good advice. 45 miles is not far but it can be, if you are stranded in the middle of an intersection. Consider getting a replacement air tank and switch it out on site if that is possible. Likely the wet tank....never drained and now pinholed. Next check has to be the brakes, if you want to...

Couldn't help it but had to vote for the snow!

Could you post some pics of your setup? Going hydraulic would be a safety improvement, especially for one-person winch ops. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

When I got my truck, years ago, soldier B had installed a grade 8 bolt through the shear pin hole, which I found while inspecting the winch. Soldier B probably did that because he was fed up with having to get underneath and replace yet another shear pin. I agree that this is a disaster waiting...

In short: reduce wear and tear on the front part of the drive train. The axle shafts are permanently connected to the front wheel hubs. Even with 6x6 disengaged, the front wheels spin the axle shafts and the front drive shaft passively. This sucks power and causes wear on the assembly for no...

You are in luck. You found this web site and forum. A little bit of searching would provide you with this: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cad-m35-wiring-diagram.15778/ Sent from my SM-S901W using Tapatalk

100% on the re-torque. The new style head gaskets are said to be "no re-torque" but putting the torque wrench to the head nuts after a few heat cycles certainly does not make it seem that way!. Mine, too, had plenty of loose ones, despite having been torqued to spec initially. I sincerely...

Sorry to chime in, but I had the exact same issue with the "military" TruckLite LEDs, twice. And they ain't cheap. Long story short, it's a defective LED. Methinks that sub-par TruckLite "military " LED s that either failed Quality Control or were rejected by the government made or make their...

I would use this as an opportunity to look and learn what the different parts are on the engine and what they do. There should not be a coolant leak, but I would stay away from rapid assumptions such as "it's the head gasket". Start at the top. There are the coolant manifolds with the short...

I found the thread and updated my post above. It seems that a brake cylinder hone works well to increase the ID of the bushing.

I know that one of mine fit like a glove, the other did not (and became a victim of my anger) and I subsequently learned that, yes, the bushings do need to be reamed to fit. As they say...weird. But true. Here is the thread I was thinking of...

I just wish you were, I don't know....more EXCITED about it? LOL

Yes - a quick job to zoom the eight top cover bolts off. I would add to the already mentioned possible issues that you may have a bent shift fork - overzealous soldier A wailing on the shifter can accomplish that.

When I am stuck, I peek over to the tractor application of that engine...White/Oliver 2-135 and 2-155. Something like that: https://reliancepowerparts.com/Product?productGuid=R380384&partListId=330025 I would have thought that vendors here would have camshaft bearings in stock, though. No?

I cannot confirm that. Let's see how long my new zippered ones last. I often think that canvas boots might be best if the truck is not heavily off roaded....but they only exist for the old Deuces Sent from my SM-S901W using Tapatalk

I think the #1 takeaway is to never, ever ask. Just carry the paper and a firm conviction of its validity and pretend you never heard otherwise! [emoji16] Sent from my SM-S901W using Tapatalk
