I run 60 at 2300 with my 11:00r20 NDTs. Stock everything. Ask Gringeltaube if you don't believe that. He rode with me in the return convoy from Heavy's.

How low does the oil pressure drop to?

Roger that! Thanks Rayzer. Now to get the parts.

You guys are killin me here! See now, I can be quite well spoken for a southern boy.

That just makes me cringe. That is well over redline even for the LDS-465-2.

It appears from the TM that Rayzer posted that the throttle shaft comes out with the spring, spring plate, and retainer all in one assembly with just the removal of the four screws. Can you guys verify this? I don't want to pull it apart until I have replacement parts in hand because the engine...

Relax Robo, we are only harassing you a bit. It is all in good spirit. Congratulations on the second granddaughter.

The bad part is that I cut the hand throttle cable. What happened was I got a call and had to run off and when I came back I was in a hurry. Loosing daylight. Floridianson, will let you know. Appreciate the offer.

Gimp, that would be great! All I should need is the splined shaft that the throttle lever clamps onto. I'm hoping I can just take the round rear cover off of the pump and fish the shaft out from there. No idea what I'm up against though. Would be nice if I could do it without removing the pump...

Rayzer, thanks man but I think you linked the wrong thread maybe? I didn't see anything about injector pump guts in your build thread

Fortunately not on the truck I drive every day. I have an engine with so few hours on it that the paint still hasn't burned off the turbo or exhaust manifold. Problem is when I pulled the cab off of the truck we I was scrapping here I cut everything but somehow missed the throttle linkage so...

Sometimes after sitting for long periods of time the old antifreeze will go bad and electrolysis will eat pinholes into the liners. Sometimes a liner will crack, sometimes they shatter, sometimes the o-rings leak. Could be any of the above but I'm betting on a pinhole. If antifreeze has met with...

I was going to say use the meter and check for power on both sides of the switch with it on and off. The main power switch is the most prone to failure because it is the most used switch on the vehicle. It does sound like you have another problem though.

Well you must have a really well put together motor there. I wouldn't have thought any one of them would take that for more than a few minutes. Have you done anything to the bottom end and you just aren't telling us?

Nobody is telling you that the engine won't turn 3200 rpm, what we are telling you, and keep in mind we have all seen this time and again, is that you ARE going to sling a rod through the side of your block doing so eventually. These engines had a redline of 2650 for a reason. Several guys have...

DH, when we build engines down around here we normally just use Lucas oil stabilizer. $13/quart and it pretty well stays where it is put, although it is a bit messy.

Yeah, for all the trying to run people over to get video of the convoy, we haven't seen the video yet.

Very nice! So this belongs to a friend of yours?

I wasn't aware that Caterpillar made 6TL batts.

I want the Saracen....
