what load are you carrying? are you running on flat and level roads? at 55 mph you are not going to set any records on mpg. try at 40 and see a big differance. the best you can hope for will be at about 1900 rpm, any higher and mpg will go down. fuel = hp = moving x weight at x speed. diesel is...
WAS very common, now as hard to find as the 710 although they are out there. i have found 3 places that have the 710 with no core, from $300 to $400 price range. good part is that these are rebuilt units, not used. anyone who finds old IH trucks with the 710 box pls let me know.

pitman arm puller made by snap-on or otc, looks like this. comes in several sizes, the correct size fits well and will pull the arm right off easily. this is the style i have always used.

whether or not hydro steering is legal is up to your state. even if it may be, can you say 'lawsuit'? if you hurt someone else they will OWN you. do you really feel that lucky?
there is an hydraulic assist, that is what eastern surplus sells for about $900 more than my kit.
the kit from...
you will see from my steering kit page, i plan to sell just the pump mount and gear if you wat just that part. SS price would be $350 plus shipping. this is for NEW parts. by the end of this week i hope to have a permanent supply of new pumps

you don't need a tester, just crank it over with the fuel off. if there is a low cyl you will hear it in the cranking speed. sounds like you have a hole in a piston.
what ever you do, do not ever use rtv. it has no place on most engines unless it is intended to BE the gasket. only a lazy person, someone who is not a mechanic would ever use that stuff. 2 clean surfaces with a new dry gasket and just a film of permatex 3H will not leak.

good question! if it does it wouldn't be by much and i think it could easily be solved. it would probably not be thecolumn mounting as much as the lower shaft going to the outside of the frame.

i see that boyce now has their price set at $4150. really? eastern surplus has their kit about $1000 more than mine. well now at least you have choices! and another dealer told me recently he would have a kit out by summer. go figure!

there is a manual double 3 way valve available from a company in NC i think. reasonable price.
i will try to find my notes on that, my m-35a8 had 2 tanks. you need to switch both the supply and the return.
