My IP is a bit wet too. Do all multifuels have booster pumps? I've never heard them mentioned before. Diesel fuel leaks can be very hard to cure. Replacing your injectors is never a bad thing. I used to rebuild Detroit Diesel unit injectors in the Navy. We pop tested them to 600 psi after hand...

A gear reduction starter? Who sells them? Are they specifically made for the LDT-465? The whole IP thing sounds like it could get pricey. What makes you think you have to repair/replace it? Is your engine running badly or is it leaking a lot of fuel? Dittos on the de-bugging and pampering. I've...

I guess you'd call it OEM digger. It's a real beauty. You can just see the quality in it's manufacture. Feel it too. It weighs about 70 pounds. Kind of hard on my 60 year old back. It fired Brutus right up. My ring gear looked pretty good when you consider the damage to the starter gear teeth. I...

Okay. The new starter is in and works fine. I was relieved to find that my brand new 6TL batteries were still good. I ran a new wire outside the harness from the switch to the top left terminal on the mag starter. Now, after my first test run I find that my right rear axle seal must be leaking...

Probably not Jeep. I'm shooting for Rauch's Creek in October. It's only about two hours away and you can do some four wheeling there. There are a few others in N.J. like Turbomustang that will probably be there. We would convoy out together. There's nothing I like better than meeting in person...

I was only two miles from home when it happened. Pulled the ground terminal off shortly after the wheels stopped rolling. The connections were tight in my case. I was just on a custom battery cable website that advises to snug them down and then one quarter of a turn more for battery terminals...

Ok on the dielectric stuff. The only thing I've done recently is install new batteries and fan belts. Hard to see how that would cause starter/battery problems. I put the cables on properly and read 28.3 volts across the terminals while charging which is good. I think it's just a coincidence...

Jeep...I didn't really mean grease per say...it's a clear substance that is supposed to prevent battery terminal corrosion. I got it at Auto Zone. I'll have to get to Napa and check that stuff out. The wiring in my truck wasn't exactly what I was expecting to find while reading the schematic. I...

Jeep you are right about the dumb factor. cbvet, My son an I just finished installing two new 6TLs the previous week. We cleaned, greased, and tightened the terminals. Ran great. I'm doing this in a garden apartment parking lot. So far, my neighbors have been great. They call me GI Joe. I can't...

digger, jeep, o1951 (I'm a 1953 model year myself) you guys pump me up! I found that taking off the air cleaner assembly makes it all easier to get to. ****! I just got finished putting in a new whistler turbo two months ago. Brutus was running sweeter than a brand new Toyota. Was driving him to...

Thanks Jeep. Well, I went out and tested my mag starter and starter solenoid contacts for continuity with my meter today. They both read open as they should. I'm really going to have to put my thinking cap on. At present, I'm charging the batteries and thinking about getting some new cables...

Thanks for the thought Jeep, but no. The start button/switch tested ok. I think either the magnetic starter or the starter solenoid contacts were closed when they should have been open. I will also be checking the two start button wires to make sure they are not shorted together in the harness...

The start switch checks out fine. I now suspect that either the magnetic start relay or starter solenoid contacts, both of which should be normally open, are closed. I hope to check this out on 9/7/2013 when I'm off.

Thanks Clinto. I hope that's all that's wrong. I hope the batteries are still good. They're brand new.

Not exactly, but it had a spiral shaped metal insert inside that kind of looked like an auger bit. Is that what an aero turbine muffler is?

I will definitely be looking at the harness. I have to take half the dash apart to get at the master switch. Good luck with the big tires. There are a lot of hills in NJ, so I limited myself to 43" diameter T-831s dualled out back. Didn't want to sap my hill climbing ability too much. I have a...

Over 100 and humid I bet. Sounds brutal! Stay hydrated. Hope your hubs flipped okay. You must be singling your truck out. Are you going with large tires?

Thanks Digger. I was thinking the same. I just came back from reading the batteries and got 25.3 volts across the terminals. I hope my new batteries are still good. I had installed a new start switch about a half year ago. I guess one wire is connected to the master switch and the other goes to...

Last week my son and I installed two new 6TL batteries in my truck. Yesterday, I installed three new fan belts. I decided to drive my bobber to Home Depot. Then something odd happened when I climbed in the truck to drive back home. When I turned on the master switch the engine started without my...
