So, when are we starting the Cummins swap?

I have a whole video series on installing new wiring harnesses in the M35A2. I have become intimate with the wiring on these trucks.

Cummins swap time.

Probably help a bit to leave the side panel off for the test drive too, just so you get more cool outside air instead of hot underhood air.

#10 wire broken off at magnetic relay bolted to the block.

New hardware and front fender retainer springs from our awesome sponsor @ bigmikesmotorpool.com. Was able to finish up the front end today

There is more truck missing than is there, and what is there isn't any good. The engine isn't any good either, transmission may not be any good, transfer case could be damaged, lots of the air brake system is gone... it's a parts truck. And it's 4,000 miles from his house. If you want to piece...

Andy, I've seen a maximum of two people tell you not to give up, and no less than 30 people not including myself honestly tell you it is a parts truck, and I'm in all the same groups you are. The first step to fixing a mistake is accepting that you've made one. Be honest with yourself. All us...

Have you found your brake issue yet?

If you advance the timing by 2° you will just blow a headgasket. The more you advance the injection timing, the higher the cylinder pressure, to a point. Static timing is already 22° BTDC, and these engines already have issues with lifting the heads. Leave the timing alone. I have a new set of...

Just an idea; try it again but leave the bottom off. Just don't put the can on. The filter connects to the top plate, so it isn't needed. That'll tell you if it was the filter itself causing a restriction, or flow interference with the filter from part of the box.

Some more updates. Got the air induction system finished. Had to shorten the box by 4" but it came out just like I wanted. https://youtu.be/QUCHHHzgSYg

You might have seen better results if you skeletonized or removed the step in the sump that blocks the front of the filter. Quite a bit of surface area there. A stock 5.9L Cummins breathes more air than the multifuel does, so...

Expanded metal. Light, strong, cheap, and easy to get and work with. You can even permanently install it over the windshields and be legal in most states. Not bullet resistant, however Amazon has lightweight bullet resistant fiberglass sheet of various thickness that comes in 4'×8' sheets...

Is there oil on the back side or bottom of any of your brake assembly backing plates? You may simply have a few hubs that are leaking oil and have oiled down the shoes and drums. They also may simply all need adjustment, as they are not self adjusting brakes. I'll take the opportunity now to...

You would be money ahead looking into a Cummins swap. I have a complete video guide if you are interested. It will be more expensive than rebuilding your multifuel, but you won't be doing it again in 20,000 miles.

Yup. Start looking for an engine or planning a swap. You have damaged pistons and/ or liners. These engines really aren't worth the cost to overhaul anymore for their average lifespan ( 40-50K miles)

Absolutely coming from the injection pump. Replace the hydraulic head o-rings and the boost pump drive seal and you'll be good to go until something else breaks. Your knocks could be cylinder liners that are coming apart. That's what happened to my LDS465-1A, which is why I've spent so much...
