Hi Dave, Most of those early 70's trucks were made for Vietnam. Most never made it there. Some saw very little use. A lot of them went to the sandbox, The ones that came back got more use (and abuse) in 6 months than the former got in 30 years. I have one of each. I have done little to one...

I can pick up with my hands if I set my coffee cup down.

I have a pallet but no way to band it. Weight is 100lbs. Who moves it is Truckguy's call. I just follow orders. Jim

I thought this thread was going to be about something else.

I will go to Blossvale as a last resort. If someone is going down I81 I can drive out and meet you 24/7. Rope will be wire tied. I will wrap in poly if road salt is going to get on it. Thanks. Jim 315 857 zero 447

Right... Moving right along, folks considering this mod may recall how engineers made the LD465 into the LDT465. They had no problems (except for a head gasket that didn't cut it on the nat aspirated LD). There was also a bolt on upgrade called a clean air kit. Lots of them are around...

I have no idea why guys spend their money turboing these engines... But my 250' is 14 litres of crap... Sound critical to me. Turbos don't blow cool air, unless the air has been substantively cooled through an intercooler... I said relatively cool air. At 18psi non-aftercooled air it is...

The drive-train is not a weak link.

I read it was because they wanted a stiffer cam, better able to deal with higher pushrod loads (at higher HP and/or exhaust brake). The small journals limited the max diameter that'd pass thru the bearing... I was amazed to read someone here is critical of adding a turbo to a naturally...

Remove filler neck and pick up tube. Install drain plug. Remove sight gauge fittings and plug the holes. Vacuum out tank. Get 1 pint can POR-15. Mix well. Dump in hole thru paint strainer. Mop around with 3 or 4" horsehair brush. I could reach all spots and w/o a stick on handle. Pile it on...

Are they for the V? The stock V frt axles have a lot of unique parts, like axle shaft seals, the axle shafts spline count and the journals, shaft bushing location, brake shoes, Detroit locker, spindles are different too... I just spent 1/2 hr writing a post with details but lost it when went...

Good advice above. Go to a different branch. Don't add zeros. My truck has a 5 digit vin. Custom plates said vin was already used, some trailer. I said is this a problem? They said no. A few min later all was OK and it was on the reg. Made this trip to custom plate in Albany 3 pr 4 time over...

I got a email from John M, dated 2008 Jim, Here is an easy test to prep for swimming a V100/150, I used it many times overseas. Test 1. Close all side lower doors sides and rear. Install the drain plugs. Insure doors seals and handles are fitting properly. Then place a garden hose in the hull...

I assume you found your cable by now. If so what did you find? Has anyone heard of a company making custom lengths? I need one for the V100. Haven't measured yet. Found a 140" Dodge van cable on ebay. Probably too short. Seen 6' extensions on ebay too. Looks like threads are 5/8 x 18 on...

Procedures vary a lot. A lot of inspectors cut corners. My inspector asks if I want a std or Heavy truck inspection. I get the latter. I make it clear I'll be happy, and embarrassed, if he finds something wrong. Years ago he asked for a backup light, licence plate light and triple cluster frt...

The inner race needs some lube as it is designed to spin slowly against the spindle. Sounds like it galled and seized. Grind and smash as stated above. Don't go all the way thru just weaken it. Wear glasses. Hit it hard. Clean up spindle if galled. Lube spindle... If I could I'd tell the Fort...
