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
if normal charging is 14.4 volts per each battery that is 28.8 volts accross both, does not sound like a real problem. what is the voltage with load like lights on?? sounds like you are ok. i would like to see close picture of alt and wiring
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...
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...
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...
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??
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

that's just not true. it might be refering to the pickup tube for the fuel burning heater, but i imagine it is set...
RE: Re: RE: Ground is good
something not mentioned is, do the 4 way flashers work and do all bulbs light then?? if they do this would indicate a bad turn switch.
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...
pull the cover on the shut off cable and see that the rod going to the rear moves very freely. then give it a healthy dose of diesel fuel additive/cleaner
one wire to the solenoid has power all the time. it comes through the circuit breaker on the firewall above the steering. the other wire is grounded by the horn button
i have always used truck air brake line. it is the same size, it is nylon on the inside, but it is uv proof and reinforced with filiments to stand air brake pressures so fuel press is no problem. get the brass inserts at most good hardware stores and use the nylon looking ferrules or use brass...
