. Dang that was neat! I like it... That little Detroit is so cool and weight wise - I bet it wasn't awful. Air, oh my! Heck, I thought I was cool with a pair of air tanks and a schrader valve was neat. Real air and air brakes for a trailer would be incredible. Let's gather the parts for...

. I would love to have them. I am working toward having one or several. Really want to talk to you about the possibility of a 40kva 3 phase service I have here at work. It would be a real plus to have that juiced up with a generator...

. Thanks Guy!!

. No sir, but it seems that it is working for me now...

. Thanks Juan! Either my account was fouled up - or maybe I was stooopid :) but now it seems that I can upload TM's with no problem. Thanks for the link!

. Well... I can't offer up close or a close-by offer for a personal visit. The best I can offer is a warm "Welcome To The Outfit". Maybe if we stir the traffic a little, somebody will drop you a line. I know we have quite a few members up there... Maybe searching...

. I am rummaging around for a thread about this problem... I saw something about this problem recently.

. I have TM 9-2330-383-14&P but the ability to upload things to the TM section isn't apparently something I am allowed to do.

. Well said Frank.

. No doubt that the diesel fired heater would be better! The fans in these trucks are pretty sad. The part that I remember from days gone by is that the "stock" heater sucked a lot. We would rip those out and replace them with a little cube about 10x10x10 inches (roughly). The blower motor in...

. Some of those ideas are REALLY NEAT for sure!

. That's interesting @DaneGer21 ... I didn't know that POR15 had a tank sealer. The 1929 Model A that I have needed that problem solved. The sealer that son and I used is still as clean as it was the day we did that piece of work... It gets inspected regularly because - to be honest - I...

. @royalflush55 and the mention of a leaky airbox around the core might make a big difference and @ssdvc 's mention of cold blooded diesels is "the gospel" for sure. My only contribution is to suggest that you were on to something when you mentioned a restriction on or at the heater core. A...

. There is a post somewhere on this site where somebody had found a sealer for fuel tanks. POR15 (as I understood it) was or is a rust remover. The second part after you remove all the rust you can is a sealer. I think the sealer was called Kreem possibly?

. And is that with a smile from ear to ear while rumbling down the road?

. That seems a little chilly for a hobby repair to me :cool:

. Sad but true... Can't fix stupid!

. That will work - or old fashioned Colgate (the white stuff) tooth paste. Rub it with a soft cloth and wipe the glass (plastic?) clean with a few drops of water. It takes time, but sanding or tooth paste will bring it back.

. It's going to be a lot of labor, but with enough time it can be brought back from the dead. Yes sir, every gearbox in that vehicle is going to still have water in it. Water that has "soured" and is going to smell awful when the oil drains out and the water floods into your drain pan. Every...

. Opinions are like certain parts of the anatomy - where everyone has one... Seems that from your description and just looking at the parts, it almost feels like that motor needs (wants) a rebuild. It may very well last as long as you do with the time and effort in a complete rebuild. Of...
