The same basic engine was used in both applications. The LD-465, LDT-465-1C, and LDT-465-1D, were the engines commonly used in the M35A2 deuce. The LDS-465-<something> was an improved version of the LD/T engines, that was juiced up for some of the 5T trucks. It puts out another 40HP over the...

I have always thought an LDS-465 engine in a deuce would be a sort of holy grail. It is interesting though, that in the much discussed letter that detailed the MF engine reliability problems in VN during the '60s they included the 5T trucks as being part of the problem. So maybe the LDS-465 is...

Thank you! -Chuck

Imagine that I have all of those manuals and more... and have read them too! And yet, I still haven't found the oil cooler on the deuce. I'll keep looking.... Ok, I've found it! I went to the source (my truck), and it is just where gimpyrob said it was , but I still don't see it the parts...

The oil pan. If the deuce has an external oil cooler, I sure have missed it. They all have a water heated air intake manifold. -Chuck

The military has a different way of thinking about things then we likely do. They expect a truck to run fully loaded at full speed in a desert at 120F... So naturally, they are going to derate an LDS engine when it is used with a deuce radiator. I doubt that any one of us would want to drive a...

I suspect that the 5 ton would have a bigger radiator than the deuce, so that is probably the source of the de-rating on the LDS engine. But for short term bursts of power, it should be very useful.... over the long term, you might need to keep an eye on the water temperature. -Chuck
