Just did my annual oil change. You've got it spot on. Only difference for me is I have spin on oil filters. Drive truck till it's at operating temp for about 10 minutes to heat the oil, shut it down, drain front sump into 5 gallon bucket, drain bucket in to waste oil settling tank, drain rear...

I think alot of us came to that conclusion a few pages back Duece-Coupe. I don't even have a pyro yet, I followed the advice of "turn the fuel until you get a nice puff of black smoke when you floor it at idle but soon clears up" when I turned my pump up. I've towed some heavy stuff behind it...

The exhaust system is not complicated and there was no muffler originally installed on the Turbo trucks. I installed one and it helped quite a bit. I'm now saving up to run the exhaust out under the bed and possibly exit above the tandems on the passenger side. I think locating the exhaust...

No emissions equipment on these.

I wish you were closer, I could have it done in a few hours. If you run into trouble, post back up, I'll do my best to talk you through it. Have you downloaded the TM's? They help alot but sometimes you just need to talk to someone. Let us know.

Looks like fun. Atomic and I just finished up a similar job on Arabella. We had to go a little further as we were changing out inner boots with some solid silicon ones so we had to drop the steering links, kingpin bushings and knuckles. Still can't think of a better way to pass the time with...

Square hole on the side is for allowing the locking spring of the rear rack when it's mounted to the side of the trailer. They're on both sides. I thought I could find a picture but looks like I have to go take one.

I'll add this after reading the content of this thread. My LDT-1D turbo will blow a pile of smoke out of the stack under acceleration. I turned it up and it's now mostly on filtered WMO. I would bet it is turned up past "factory" LDS settings and has been running that way for years. I know...

It's been about a month, Time to bring this back up and Thank some folks. 3DAngus brought me a trailer for the CUCV. It's a nice M101A1. I told him a story of how my youngest son Briggs has become confused. The Deuce has his M105A2 hooked behind him most of the time but Sarge doesn't have a...

I've also heard high praise for John Winslow in NC. I don't personally know him and have never dealt with him but I've heard that he's very thorough and turns out good work. Also not sure on prices but I look at it this way, If I can pay someone to do it, I'm probably not concerned with price...

Not worried about it, This truck will probably soon be donated to someone who needs a 250 and perhaps spare parts off it. It's been out here about 2 years now and papers have been drawn up and served. Back on topic, the 250 from what I've read does fine on "mixtures"

I'll try to clear the mud as I understand it. The truck has a 24V starter on it. This is handy when you need a jump start through the NATO Slave port on the front. The Glow Plugs are 12V but wired stock they feed through a resistor bank located on the firewall behind the air filter housing...

In the Cummins that won't leave my yard, as in owner won't come and pick him up, he's on about 80 percent waste oil at this point and other than taking a little longer to start, he's fine. It's an M818 and I've confirmed visually that it's an NHC-250. Oil the top of the pistons, they do fine...

MO MV man, I think my friend is the same one you sold that Deuce to. Riddle? He's sold that truck for profit and bought the "new" M923. We ended up having to do hydraulic head o-ring replacement on that Deuce and he had to replace the harmonic balancer and front cover seal and gasket. It was...

Looks like a recent rebuild. Nice looking truck. My buddy has one like that, open the driver's door and look in the bottom right of the opening. You will probably find an RRAD tag indicating the month/year of rebuild. His truck also had the G177's and they were fairly new as are your's. I...

NDT, I sent them an e-mail in 1970 concerning that exact same issue. Nevermind I was born in 82. Anyhow, they felt they could omit the turbo and just "up" the fuel. We've seen many examples of that and most know how it turns out. That turbo doohickey pushes more air into the intake and...

Well somebody had to take the fun out of it. I just played along when I saw it. I think Cornrichard, Sumner and myself understand Cummins motors enough to know the OP is referring to adding a turbo to a small cam 250, he quoted it as an 8.3 which is about 6 liters of displacement shy and the...

Feed port, just install a tee between the motor and the oil pressure sending unit. For return, I sorta like cornrichard's idea. You'd have to check your oil a little more often but those Big Cam 250 8.3's love a little more lube on the top side of the piston, that would about ensure that truck...

Ok, guys, the man bought the trucks at less than scrap value from GL I presume. He's offering up parts for cheap, ie a running 250 for $1,000 or less. The metal has weight, it's worth quite a bit in that form and last but not least, "We can't save them all". I've got a really nice M923...
