    Heater install of M35A3 unit in M35A2

    Are there any tips or tricks to get the defrost duct hooked up under the dash? I've tried everything except spitting on it and telling her she's been a bad girl.

    Can you take a short video of your blow by and post it up?

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    I replaced the pistons, rings, sleeves, bearings, lapped the valves, and all new gaskets. I still have noticeable blow by but it is not nearly as bad as it was. The longer I run the truck the better it runs, and the less the blow by I have. Unless you have a cloud of blow by I would run it...

    Deuce driving tips

    With the air wipers, I remove the air line every 6-8 months and put a few drops of air tool oil directly into the wiper motor, then work it back and forth a few times. I have not had a problem with my wipers yet. I have used rain-X before, and it works great for the actual rain, but it did...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Well, it was last week, but....I tore down and rebuilt the LDT in my Deuce. Found the top compression ring on cylinders 1-5 broken, and cylinder 6 had all 3 compression rings broken into about 4 pieces each. Put in new bearings, new pistons, liners, rings, lapped the valves and put all new...

    Cross country haul

    Rail is going to be a pain in the butt, I wouldnt even consider that option. For what it will cost via trucking company, just sell the one on the East Coast and buy another one when you get to OR.

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    Okay I hope ya'll are ready for an awesome "I'm and idiot" moment.......... So I still could not figure out what the heck to problem was, knowing that I was getting fuel, air and all the moving parts were new, so I went back to the TM and started looking around for a possible answer. While I...

    Where should I look for a compression tester that will work with the LDT? I want to make sure that it will have an adapter that will fit

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    Tried removing the injector again to make sure it was spraying fuel. It is spraying really nice. So, I removed the valve cover and the rocker arm, to inspect the top of the valves. All of the valves looked the same and had no noticeable play or differences. I put the rocker arm back on, made...

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    My pistons have 4 rings total. 3 compression, 1 oil. And yes I am still getting some blowby, but from what I understand these engines will always have noticeable blowby

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    I did take it for a short test drive hoping that it was just a piece of gunk that would clear out. During that drive there were a few "pops" that came from the exhaust, but other than that, just some puffs of blue smoke from the exhaust

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    All the piston kits were exactly the same, new in the box, with the sealed plastic over them

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    The only reason I do not suspect a compression problem, is the truck got all new piston/ liner kits. All 6 cylinders were replaced and all went in with no problem. I am wondering if there is a problem with the #4 injector line...BUT when I removed it from the truck I was able to blow through...

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    I have run the motor with the injector out, and I am getting fuel out of the injector line. When I crack the other injector lines to the other cylinders, the engine bogs down more, when I close them the motor runs better. BUT, when I crack the line on #4, I get fuel out of it at good pressure...

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    Hey guys, I need some advice on an issue I'm having after rebuilding my LDT. I was having A LOT of blowby so I decided it was time for a rebuild. Here's what I did, I tore the motor all the way down to the block and heads, and replaced the pistons, rings, liners, rod bearings, main bearings...
