Yeppers... I think that would fall right in the middle of that category I call "special"... good to know it is doable... a bit out of my reach right now... Nice!

gotta love that!!! gotta love that!!! Confirmed? you doing anything special?

mine did too, but as soon as I started driving, the brake pedal got harder and harder, until it just would not budge... by then my brakes were dragging... eventually to the point that the truck would not move... someone here had mentioned abouit the airpack leaking causes this... but, I believe...

gonna get that done next Good advise. Will check if my mph is not where it need to be after all that has been done... Engine temp stays at 170-180... does not really get hot... had not had a chance to do a good hard run and then found the pinched vent line... the fuel cap would hardly turn...

Hey Snakehunter... OK... an update... Issues I have so far resolved and all have added up to creeping up to approx 51 mph. 1. Bad fuel (looked like I had white molasses in the tank. Reolaced all filters and cleaned out the system. Gain of about 3 mph... 2. Vacuum created in the...

Thanks Chuck... I did read the TM but I did see differences between my engine and the one in the TM... I have not found a TM specifically for the LD465... thus my series of seemingly endless questions... I have to tread carefully because an apple may not be an apple or vice versa for an...

Thank you... will try it this am... one more thing,,, is there one more filter or screen either on or at the fuel injection pump or governor that I may have missed? I would hate to go through the settings and then find that my fuel flow was restricted...

How would I go about doing that? Are there any draw backs? Thanks

I am still perplexed.. can I use the manual for the LDT-465-1C/D reliably as the manual for the LD465-1C Also... I keep hearing of how the turbo's are there to reduce smoke and emissions mostly yet when I run my truck, even pedal to the metal, I don't get much smoke... having dealt with heavy...

OK... hate to sound ignorant... but can't help it... I insist in opening my mouth ... my engine is an LD465IC ... I cannot see the LDS anywhere... and I do not have a turbo... yet... I followed the vent line (after ruining the 90 degree fiting... xmtxtySSSXXX!-now I have to hunt one up) and...

OK... Road Test... after cleaning... 49mph - very little smoke found something interesting... air rushed in when I removed the fuel cap... somehow my vent is clogged... gonna research posts on that BTW my motor is an LD465 IC how does the turbo manual relate? governor and inj. system look...

Yes, the engine revs up to 3000 rpm for a moment unloaded (according to in truck tach)... this was nasty stuff though... what is that white powdery stuff? and BTW, had I not tried to get it over 44 on the highway I would have never known. She starts before first rev is done and chugs...

1236 gal of water... that is a lot of water... I hope I don't have to go to a turbo... I have spent enopugh money just getting the fire valves and pumps working... can't afford turbo right about now. As is, the gov info say that the turbo did not really increase the power, just cleaned up the...

OK guys... here is the latest... I am actually thinking of posting this in a separate thread because it might save someone a lot of heartache... OK ... fuel pressure from tank pump... OK... but my helpers... my 2 sons tell me the fuel smells funny.... take a whiff and the stuff smells like a...

Geez doc... lets see... 1,2,3,4... yep its in 5th Know how I know??? I ran out of fingers:beer: just kidding... that is the ticket.... not that I haven't done that before... but usually involves a little pictogram of a trailer in the dash of my Chevy 2500... Boy, I tell you what, you were...

Thanks Guys... My plan of attack is going to be: 1. confirm tach is reading right by comparing to outboard digital tach. 2. If 1 is correct, then recheck fuel pressure from prime in tank pump 3. If that is correct, then check all lines to confirm no "squooshed" lines... technical term...

will check the gov... she runs smooth... no surging nothing bad happening except ... 44 mph not quite sure how to check the gov but if all else fails I will check settings... I believe I have the TM for that... the thing is... she starts with first spin of the engine anyone off the top...

nope... good flow from pump and back... just the right amopunt of smoke... new filters all around...

OK... took her out for a good shake-down... starts, stops, runs smooth. New fuel filters, full travel on the injection pump, still max speed is 44 mph and 2000 rpm empty. Plenty of power. Everything looks OK and she feels like she will run until the EOD like this, but I would like to get the...
