These were painted over when I got the truck. The paint has weathered away and revealed this number. I’m just curious if anyone knows what it signifies. It’s not related to the serial number.

I could not find one on any of the major suppliers websites. I guess I need to give them a call. Thanks.

Are there any rebuild kits available for the short air pack? I have not been able to find any. I had a kit that I had ordered a few years ago but, when I went to rebuild the airpack it was missing some of the parts and I had to reuse some of the old parts. I still have brake fluid leaking out of...

The last one I got from eBay had several parts missing from the kit. I had it several months before I realized it so I did not return it. The auction picture was of a sealed kit but it did not come sealed. I would make sure it’s all there if you don’t plan to use it right away.

What master cylinder brake pedal bracket are you using?

I have spent hours trying to get the info that is here in just a few posts thanks for sharing your knowledge. One of my master cylinders does not have the seats in the ports. I have a few old rebuild kits for these and it has the rpv and large seats that won’t work on mine but, it also has the...

Thanks Rusty for the correction on the master cylinder info. I have a couple of these master cylinders and one of them is a 60 40 configuration I also have 1.5” wheel cylinders for the front. just so I understand what you are saying. Would I put the 60% To the front? I have not been able to...

I put a C turbo on my non turbo multi-fuel. I set the pump timing to the LDT timing mark and it still smokes more than my other truck. It pumps out that grey/brown smoke. I need to turn the fuel down some before I put it on the road.

Did you find the mirror bracket you were looking for? I took one off my M275 I will give you if you need it.

Yes one like that would work. The master cylinder with reservoir attached are not hard to fine but, it does need to be the right configuration. It needs to be 50% and 50% output. It will need residual check valves in the port and the port size should be 9/16 -18 or 1/2-20 thread. some of them...

My plan was to remount it in the same place but two of the bolts will be longer go through the bracket and thread into the new plate.

Started working on my m275 again and the air pack and master cylinder were leaking bad and I have the parts to fix it but with the choice of parts being 30 year old new or recently made parts from overseas there is no way I could ever trust the single circuit system. My other truck I put...

http://www.agkits.com/hercules-478-diesel-connecting-rod-bolt-40-1091706.aspx#.WIVf3FROLCQI This is the rod bolts I used. The price shown is for one.

It would also be a good time to check bearing clearance and put in new rod bolts.

Happened to my truck http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?144215-LDT-465-1C-engine-noise&highlight= I had the same thing happen on a truck I bought. It ran fine just had a knock. I put in a new liner and piston I got from white owl. Bypassing the FDC and not cutting the fuel back could...

I had the same issue on my non turbo m275 and it was the exhaust valves and guides. It would actually spray a mist of oil from the exhaust with the pipe removed. I had the machine shop put new guides and valves in it. That fixed it.

The gauge is grounded through the bracket that holds the gauge in the dash. make sure that it is tight or run a wire from the mounting nut to a good ground point.

If you are going to have the head machined the injectors will need to be removed. The injector tips stick out of the block side of the head. There are a few post on here that show you how to build a wrench to remove the lower head nuts. I made a wrench from a cut down boxed end wrench and welded...

If you are going to have the heads machined make sure they understand the maxium amount that can be removed. Some shops will get the head setup close and take .005 or .010 cuts until it is cleaned up. Not a problem on most gas motors it won't work on these.They should be machined on a grinder...
