    Custom oil pan on LDT-465

    the oil pump is in the front and has a scavenger pump that moves oil from the rear small sump to the front for main pump so there are 2 pickups. look in the engine manual for pictures, you should have no problem reversing the pan and modifying it but you may have to disable the scav pump

    Transmission noise

    RE: Re: RE: Transmission noise well i have what i know is a good trans because i built it and it is quiet all the time and very easy to shift, even hot which is about 150f and goes back into 2nd at 10 mph easily. of course it shifts slowly compared to a car or light truck which it is not. it...

    Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine

    monty, the 3208 is just a very noisey engine. the fuel knock is very loud and i had to have hearing protection not because of the exhaust but because of the engine noise. i had a new engine and we chased the noise several times even changing brands of pistons. but as i said i had a stock ldt...

    tranny lube?

    when i talked last week with the tech department of TTC who now handles the spicer trans products, they said that 30 to 50 wt motor oil was completely acceptible for the 3053 trans. i also use it in the transfer case. as to oil leaks, with new seals (not nos, they are no good) i don't have any...

    Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine

    right jeff, it's the same size motor and i don't think from a practical point it makes any more power than a 'turned up' ldt and i've had both. dual stacks and twin turbos............. now where can i find a 9 litre international??

    deuce running cold?

    everything on mine is new so i assume it is typical of what is expected. runs 160 all the time regardles of load or outside temp. however most diesels perform best with high water temp, 200 would be ideal

    Blinker problems on m35a2

    RE: Re: RE: Ground is good will, we are just checking for voltage, not resistance. a meter will show voltage if the circuit has a resistance problem because it does not load the circuit the way a test light does. if the socket shows voltage with a test light, the bulb will have power. then if...

    Blinker problems on m35a2

    RE: Ground is good use a test light, not a meter to be sure you have power. if you have power the only possible solution is a bad bulb or bad ground

    Problem getting my new deucee to run right.
