Loosen the compressor belt and run it... bad compressor can simulate engine blowby. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

15-40 Rotella also. Maybe it is worth running John Deere break in oil for 500 miles or so to. I'd defer to some of the diesel mechanics here...rustystud...whaddayasay? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

No negative opinion of the DT466 here. I think I would want to know for sure that the multi has a real problem before embarking on transplant surgery. For starters, I would do the preventative maintenance it needs, load it up (5 tons of sand or gravel or whatever) and run it long and "hard"...

How did you get the air out? Just let the in tank pump run for a minute or five to push fuel all the way? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Perhaps a good start would be to state that the brakes on your truck are hydraulic in function, with air to assist with the pedal effort. Losing air assist does not mean you are losing the brakes. You will be limited in how hard you will be able to apply the brakes without air assist. 98G said...

We need pics! And...for which filter numbers?

Good to see you King Machine! I need more pictures of your trail rides. Did your friend get his Benz 1017 fixed up again?

Maybe this info helps. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/canadian-deuce.178394 Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Hey, that looks just like my backyard. I mean...if you could see my backyard under all that snow.

Is the battery cable itself ok? The insulation becomes chafed over time and it shorts to the frame.

Woo hoo, I managed to design a RedBarn wheel for over $1200 apiece! Spendy. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Very nice!

10-4 on that. Good point. I definitely thought more of a fuel shut off stuck closed as the next issue. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

The OP did not even get to the point of the engine cranking over. Maybe that should be the first achievement?

- batteries hooked up correctly for 24V and at good voltage? - battery cables well attached and the cables itself are not chafed where they go through openings/over edges? - transmission is in neutral (you sure?) and you depress the clutch before attempting to start? - grab a fan blade, press...

Oerthedge21, I rebuilt my LDS as well. As opposed to you, I kept my liners (honed them) and my pistons (new rings). All new bearings. New heads. Initially, there was zero blow-by. After the break-in period (same technique as you used) and a good 1000 km of driving, a lot with loads, I now do...

Oh yes....it never ends....

This is interesting. As I have learned, the fast way to find correct TDC on the multifuel is to take off the oil filler cap and when the crank pulley is on the TDC mark the # 2 exhaust will be open. When you look down the oil filler opening it will be the valve just to the front of the cap hole...

Moderators, that link should become a sticky here!

what are you going to hook up to the rear output? Hydraulic pump?
