Now, for the really important question--what did the kids name it?
Now, for the really important question--what did the kids name it?
That very well could be, with all that slow running it did. Diesels need alot of air, and no restrictions. Does it have a catylitic converter on it too? My Chevy 6.5L diesel has/had one, and it basically is/was just a soot trap. If it has one and you can ditch that too without any worries about passing an inspection,I'd do it also.Squizzy246B said:the exhaust flange on the inlet side of the muffler is blowing a bit suggesting the muffler is badly clogged.
My IH dump truck had been used as a spare for running from the pit too the redi mix plant, and probobly had 7 zillion(or less) hrs idling. It had alot of blowby from the crankcase breather at first. It slowly cut down with subsequent use to an amount that doesn't concern me enough to do an in-frame on it yet. Hopefully yours will clean up with some highway miles, and start spinning free & easy.Squizzy246B said:Some carbon/glaze up is likely and a good flogging is in order.

It has air conditioning then? What's the other "no air (bugger) about? Something to do with the tranny? No air splitter(range selector), or was it just the air conditioning didn't work?Squizzy246B said:5 speed manual trans with no air (bugger).

Which brand brake controller are you gonna go with?
are you gonna have some pics for us once you get her lettered up, and the box work done?
The next two are just of the truck and the cute little 4 pot...simple as can be and easy to work on.....Hmmmm...I can almost see the maximun fuel screw on that fuel pump...Hmm
I'll be the lone dissenting voice--I don't like the hoist. And that opinion stems from personal experience, having owned one like it... :spaz
I like how the driver can just sit there while the passenger does all the driving. :bouncegri Here in the States, the driver does the driving. :wink2
