    I need to put longer fenders on my M35 cab. Aside from M54/M809, what other 5 tons?

    Twin in line mufflers for rear dump exhaust?

    Towards the rear, muffler hangs over the tandems and running a 4" pipe from the turbo. Cruising at 2100rpm I could still hear the whistler turbo some but not nearly as loud.

    Are you extending the whole front to match the M800 series trucks?

    Twin in line mufflers for rear dump exhaust?

    I'm running a single muffler on my deuce with the exhaust exiting behind the rear tires. Can't hear the exhaust over the engine noise anymore.

    There's 3 pumps in the system. Tank pump-5+ psi Booster pump-35+ psi at idle Injection pump The booster pump is built into the bottom of the injection pump. Pull an injector line from the hydraulic head and crank the motor for about 10 seconds. Fuel should be squirting up repeatedly about...

    Red's deuce/camper project

    Working as a medium/heavy diesel mechanic makes it easier. Plus I'm our young electrical guy at work so when a truck has wiring problems they give it to me haha. The harness on the older DT466 like mine is just as simple as the wiring on the multifuel engine. Oil pressure, coolant temp...

    Red's deuce/camper project

    Did a little work on the DT466. Pulled the old wiring harness off, checked out the seals and line plumbing. Engine turns over without issue. Going to order a gasket set but the only leaks look like the slobber tube, oil cooler, and oil pan. Will be plugging a few coolant lines since I don't...

    5th wheel hauler

    Won't be fast but it will do it. Electronic brakes on the trailer or air? 11x20 tires, EGT gauge, bump up the fuel, muffler, remote brake fluid reservoir, seats.

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    2 ways to turn the motor by hand. 1. Transmission in neutral, place a socket and breaker bar on the harmonic balancer bolt and try to turn it with the breaker bar. 2. Transmission in 4th, tcase neutral. Turn the stub shaft. This will only confirm if the motor is locked up or not. I remember...

    Survival 109 build

    Almost as bad as a 53' flatbed trailer I was overhauling today. Sitting for a few years with locked up air brakes. Had to heat the lug nuts up till they were glowing before the 1" impact gun could buzz em off.

    Survival 109 build
