Lowering the exhaust brings the "noise cone" closer to the cab roof and and window, so it is likely going to be louder. Mine was, too, when I replaced the end pipe with the 90 degree turn with a shorter straight pipe and flapper. There is a reason why some trucks have long stacks, other than the...

I can't make out what the label says. I believe the whistler turbo NSN to be 2950-00-148-7985 Also, on the compressor side, a C whistler has the manufacturer (Schwitzer) cast into it and the number on the housing is 3LG319. The two halves of the C-turbo are clamped together (with an exhaust...

Not sure about that. I had my radiators rebuilt twice. I guess it depends upon the shops around you. Ask. Get quotes. I think I paid around 700 bucks and that was half price from a replacement. Your reality may vary. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

There is another elegant way that some member have done, provided you can find or make the right rims, and that is to switch to more current 22.5 commercial tire sizes. Even 11.00R20 or 12.00R20 seem to be hard to come by in some places...

I switched (way back) from 9.00-20 NDT to 11.00R20 Michelin military radials on Canadian (essentially M35A3) rims. IMHO, these tires are the best compromise: They can be mounted on stock Deuce rims without issues. They are tall enough to lower rpms/help with top speed when on the road, are...

The weld-on-a- "bar" modification is a good solution if you do not care about the longevity of the dog bone bushings. Welding around the rubber deteriorates the bushings quite quickly. However, due to the welded on bar, they can't fall apart. A #1 horse shoe is essentially 1/4in stock. People...

2-hole injectors superceded single hole injectors at some point in the multifuel manufacturing process. The 2-hole injectors cause fuel to burn more cleanly with less smoke and are said to reduce stress on pistons compared to the single fuel stream nozzles. I have run both; the single hole...

My five cents is that replacing the military alternator with a civilian one (more output at half the size; much more space around it) and replacing the stock primary filter with a spin-on cartridge setup are worthwhile modifications. Civilian alternators 21SI, 22SI and 27SI are usually used...

Here is the gasket: https://www.bigmikesmotorpool.com/products/in-tank-fuel-pump-mounting-gasket-for-multifuel-trucks-10917063 Or you simply cut your own...it is a simple round shape. Yes, the in-tank pump is the "right" way; it also has become a bit pricey, in the $350-400 range. Here is one...

Passenger side, engine block tag riveted on, black and silver, partially obscured by exhaust or turbo. It should say "MULTIFUEL" and then LDT or LDS. LD is also possible. While looking there, look for cast letters on the engine block, usually forward of this tag, that say "TD". This signifies a...

This is what this type of truck looked like before..umm...being improved: All credits: NARA & DVIDS Public Domain Archive

Here is the original thread with the summit part number. 20" fan. The blades are soft enough to be trimmed with scissors if there is fine tuning required. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/service-bulletin-m35a3-self-destructed-radiator-fan-threw-blades.182830/

OMG!! I had those visions for the steel fan! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

I used a synthetic generic fan from Summit with very satisfactory results. Much less rotating mass and no danger of a fan blade massacring the radiator. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

The spin-on oil filters are among the best updates for this engine! FWIW, my adapters kept leaking until I really torqued them up...above the recommended 65 ft-lbs. Lift pump..the wiring can get a little crispy on top of the fuel tank. If your fuse keeps blowing you could have a simple short...

That is a very massive no-nonsense cow catcher up front on the bumper!

Wow, those boot/knuckle shields are beefy. I was thinking "where are the boots??" Sure well protected. Western Canadian Rockwell?

Not sure where the disagreement comes from; I agree with @Floridianson on all clutch brake points; I am not aware I said anything about how far to depress the clutch; even when double clutching you do not go all the way in but do as @Floridianson described. Clutch brake is for slowing the...

The search function is your friend. Torque spec is 65-70 ft-lbs. See copper washer above. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/hydraulic-head-leaking-need-advice.52223/

@jake1086 that paint scheme would look very neat. Can you imagine recreating one of those trailers and taking the complete rig to shows? I wouldn't think an original trailer survived (in the wild; outside of a museum). You definitely grabbed a rare truck!
