@ 1600F, it probably did.....once. We love carnage pics !!! They make fabulous screen savers.

You could have your new replacement piston tops coated with a ceramic thermal barrier insulation to help keep them from absorbing some heat. It is not that expensive, if you want to keep the throttle down on a wicked up motor. That, plus a full size charge air cooler up front, gutted...

Nearly all engines run aluminum pistons, and without issue as designed. Steel would eat up so much more power throwing that much mass back and forth, and would require larger rods, etc.... I'm interested in hearing why this even occurred, but dollars to donuts the fuel rate was turned way up...

I know, only a few states away, right?

We are not trying to talk you out of this. We are trying to make sure you know what you are getting into, before you do so. Good lessons from a few that have actually done it or tried. It is a lot less expensive to do it that way rather than trial by fire. I hope you can do it, and make...

How did your EGT get that high? Assuming you turned up the fuel pump, and then held the pedal on the mat with a load or going uphill. If you have blow-by and such as you describe, your engine is done for and needs new cylinder kits, that is all there is to it. Order up an aftermarket overhaul...

Truck is not in NV, my mistake by reading ad on phone. Truck is in GA. Anybody there want to work a deal?

How much do you sell an untouched front for after you acquire it? Any available?

Of course there were. I'm in MI and just want a single front. Didn't start looking until you said it could be added and CTIS retained (done so was the part I valued), so, like, yesterday. I'll trade you leads if he has one. Otherwise, will maybe try to work something out with the poster from...

Joe, yes, full air brake M939 type axles (7t in 5t clothing, but larger axle shafts I think?), and I will call you tonight. Thanks. -74

Closer to the west coast (NV), so your location of PA probably doesn't help unfortunately. Thanks for the offer. This sucks. I could have what I want, and somebody could have both air locking rears for $500 each, then minus what they could scrap the chassis for (trans and transfer case still...

The relief valve should self seal. Maybe you are not hearing an over-pressure. The air dryer does a purge every time the air governor commands the air compressor to go into bypass (target pressure achieved). What indicated pressure are you seeing on your dash gauges? You can adjust the cut...

Thanks for the info. That was somewhat coveted until now. I have located a vehicle being parted, and I really just want the front air locking axle, but they guy does not want to do the labor to do so, and wants the entire chassis remains with all 3 axles, hauled away. Entire chassis price is...

Water is 8.3lbs/gallon. 5 ton truck is rated for 10 tons on-road. From a numbers perspective, that means you could haul 2400 gallons of water, minus the mass of the container in the bed, if you stayed on road (not sure how that is defined, what does a dirt road count as?). Sure it will do...

Thanks for the heads up. As another time saver, the new civilian J-180 short mount may be slightly thicker on the side which mounts to the block/head. Mine seems to be though I have not mounted it yet. Pull out one of the existing bracket mounting bolts from the J-180 long alt bracket, and go...

19,000RPM and 20,000RPM, did you replace it with a turbine engine? Just kidding. From one Clint to another, had to have something to say..... People part out the NHC-250's here all the time for free or nearly. Just grab a pump from them, bolt it on, and be done with it.

rs, I don't mean to derail your thinking, but have you considered to place the heater inside the cab so it can recirc already warming air vs constantly try to increase cold air temp? WildChild467 did this on his M35A2, and we have to put his blower fan on low or even off, including when the...

WC467, though your original post on this is now 6 years old, are you really considering to do this now since your LDT/S hybrid motor is now a steam engine (pushing blow by out the draft tube and oil fill cap)?

I work with K type TC's 8 hours a day. Here is your chart. Read the very short script at the top otherwise the chart won't make sense. Then, scroll down to "K" type. With this, you will be able to tell not only which is working and not, but also their accuracy. You should have 2 wires...

Sounds like a cracked solder joint on the back side of the board the connector is attached to. As you are wiggling the pins, it is making and breaking the connection. I have heard of the "only works when light switch is on" issue. Not sure what that is about, but more than one person has had...
