    John Deere engine swap?

    I have a tractor engine in my C30 a Perkins T6.354.4 its a road variant engine but its more of a tractor engine than a 6bt. The 354 has been used in a ton of Massey and white tractors and equipment over the years. I have a Clark 5 speed and a Spicer 3 speed brownie behind it but only using...

    John Deere engine swap?

    I would be swapping many different engines into a L8000 before a multi fuel. I like 3208s and they were a factroy option a dt466, 6v92T cummins L10 or a mack E7-250 would be long before my list for swaps into a medium duty chassis

    John Deere engine swap?

    Yah I have a m35a2c with a multifuel in it. They are a 7.8L engine they are way too huge for a pickup and stock they are only 135hp for the turbocharged engines. they are a diesel engine with different pistons and injectors that spray a stream of fuel into a hole/chamber in the piston then it...

    Oil overfill ok?

    I dump 12 quarts in with a powerjoke filter every time never had an issue. I overfill everything just a tad when I change oil (1/4-1/2 inch) I'll bet on any given engine you'd have to overfill a few inches at least before the crank was dipping in the oil.

    White Smoke When I Let Off

    Two ways I check for compression in a radiator is with the engine cold take the rad cap off to relieve any residual pressure put it back on and start the engine DOT NOT rev engine at all let it idle (revving the engine the water pump pressurizes the block therefore the radiator cap will allow...

    Removing Timing Cover

    I want to add that I learned a trick from brian and it backfired on me because I did it wrong doing this exact fix on mine I ended up using a buffed/polished butter knife to use as a mirror to align the timing marks for the ip gear. But the trick is to get some longer 5/16-16 bolts all thread...

    Anything look weird?

    Physically you won't see a faulty injector no such think as telling by carbon build up or wetness unless the tip is dripping. If your doing the IP injectors should be done too they say the ip and injectors have a 100k mile service life I know many many of them are way past that on originals...

    7.3 idi knock

    Is it making chuffing or popping noises in the intake or exhaust listen with the air cleaner off. Next I want you to loosen injection lines at the injectors one at a time this is a manual cylinder cut out if/when you find one that changes or makes noise go away swap that injector with another...

    pre fill oil filter?

    I know this thread isn't brand new anymore but I bought a m35a2 (military 6x6 deuce and a half) last week and it has the Hercules multifuel turbo engine in it. They mounted the 2 canister oil filters vertically mounting the filter head at the bottom naturally within a hour or two after **** down...

    72 Highboy swapped IDI on Deboss Garage

    Ofcourse deboss will down talk a idi but he put a junk ass 3126 Caterpillar in a aeronose. 3126 is a electronic heui engine and they are good for like 300hp or so and don't last for ever and they are a "disposable" engine just like a 6bt

    Cold start

    High idle helps it warm up faster and get some heat in the cylinders to prevent cylinder washing. You should step on the throttle every time you cold start anyways I always push half to full throttle depending on temperature when cold starting as instructions can be found on the visor stepping...

    Injectors turbo vs nonturbo

    Russrepair.com or R&D idi really the only 2 options worth spending money on

    pre fill oil filter?

    I used to fill them then heard Caterpillar says not to some filters even have a picture of a X through oil being poured in and it makes sense a chunk of crap from transfer or where the oil came from or who knows can plug a oil passage or score though a bearing. I don't fill heavy truck filters...

    Factory bullnose wheels

    I was mainly going after single wheel but I didn't make it specific because I can't say I've seen a 80s Ford dually on aluminum either

    Factory bullnose wheels

    I did some digging around and came up empty handed. I can't say I've ever seen a F250/F350 bullnose on factory aluminium wheels. Were they only on steel wheels? I'm pretty certain the ford alcoa wheels were aeronose wheels came out in 93 or 94? No aluminum for bricknose either or?

    Thoughts on Performance upgrades/direction/Cummins?

    250hp is easy with a idi and the cummins will rattle your teeth out and be loud and obnoxious in the cab never been a huge fan of them. I put a t6.354.4 perkins in my chev 1 ton simply because its not your every day cummins swap and the perkins runs so so much quieter and smoother than cummins

    c6 to t-19 questions

    I've done a few transmission swaps in these trucks. The firewall should have dimples where you drill the 2 master cylinder mounting bolt holes and use the hole saw all the bullnose trucks I've done have had the dimples. We put a t19 inplace of the c6 in my buddys 85 6.9 crossmember didn't need...

    Bucking on Deceleration

    I've seen this many times on idis always comes down to fuel pressure/flow or air in fuel feed. I would check for air, check pressure at wot, see if fuel filter needs replacement

    $70 motorcraft starter?

    I've owned piles of idis and only ever had one with a direct drive starter and man it was a toilet turned over so slow even with new batteries and bigger cables. I ripped it out tossed it in the scrap barrel and put a Mitsubishi starter in and its been mint. I don't believe anyone still makes...

    2022 Rally

    I'm obviously not making it fuel prices too high too far of a drive. But I really hope somebody makes some YouTube videos of all the idis cruising and maybe a camp walk around with all the hoods open and such then drop the links here I love watching that stuff

    Make the AC better!!!

    Whata your high pressure at? Did you put a red orifice tube in for a 134 truck? I'd replace the compressor especially if it cools better revved up than at idle. Fan clutch needs to be working good too. I replaced every component in my 84 and it blows 28-34 degrees depending on ambient temp.

    Selling upgraded drop in fans!

    I think you would be fine just be extra cautious. It doesn't seem to stick out much more than the factory fan
