The TM for the LD465 is: TM9-2815-210-34-1 It is available in the Resources section. The Continental LDS manual is primarily about the fuel system, the IP and how they can mess up the performance of the engine. The only thing missing from your LD465 over the LDS465 fundamentally is the...

The answer to your questions are very nicely laid out in the Continental LDS-465 trouble shooting manual referenced on the first page of this thread. It is written in a nice conversational style that is easy to read. Lots of illustrations, and virtually everything applies to your LD-465...

You say tomato, I say tomahto. When you get right down to it, all 1960's era 6 cylinder 4 stroke diesels aren't all that different.... except where they are. -Chuck

Isn't it really a matter of the design path having been forked into two directions after the LD-465 was built.? The LD-465 and the LDT-465-1C/D are virtually identical, save for the goodies necessary to make a turbo charger work. The LDS-465-1/ 2, however, is beefed up in a number of ways...

Hi Jason, I got them from cranetruck when I asked him the same question: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/43459-ldt-465-1c-vs-lds-465-multifuels-3.html#post484708 -Chuck

The LDT was designed for less HP/torque, and lower RPM's than the LDS engine. The LDS is a heavily modified version of the LDT engine. It is designed to run another couple of hundred RPM, and another 30-40 HP. To do that, they redesigned the pistons, changed the crankshaft counterweights...

Your governor shouldn't overshoot that much, so hopefully you are just seeing an instrumentation glitch as your tach needle swings past the mark, and returns. Does your tach show a sustained 2600-2800 rpm at WOT, or does it do something else? [Note, running WOT unloaded is a standard part of...

Scootertrs, As yet the most important question hasn't been answered directly: Can you get above 2000 rpm with the engine unloaded? If you cannot ever get the engine to go above 2000 rpm, the governor is set wrong, either by intention, or maybe a broken part. If your fuel is bad, or your...

Low range wouldn't limit the RPM's to 2000, and would limit the maximum speed in 5th gear to 28MPH... So that probably isn't the problem. When I was hunting for my deuce, I saw lots of pictures of M35A2's that had their warning stickers set for 45MPH. I wonder if some base commander got the...

The top speed for the truck in 5th gear is 56MPH. The top RPM in any gear is 2600RPM. [ 56MPH / 2600RPM ] x 2000 RPM = 43MPH He is in 5th gear, and his MPH is appropriate for his engine speed. I vaguely remember something about fire trucks and a reduced governor speed, but it is firmly...
