was it a motor swap or did the same motor get rebuilt and put back in ?

If it was a swap is the old motor still about ?

Paul

you blokes have got enough to keep you going for a few years yet

I reminds me of one of my Dads saying " a man can never have to many sheds " and by the look of it you blokes need more sheds the good news is your not alone

Paul

I think as long as you keep an eye on it or more to the point an ear or a hand if you can here the battery bubbling you over charging if it gets hot to touch like just over body temp I reckon it would be getting to hot and if any of these happen disconnect for an hour or so thats my thoughts anyway

Paul

I have never seen a 8 Volt battery might be why all yanky stuff was such bad starters back in the day as we only ever put six volt batteries in them

Now time for a real dumb question are all these RD's the same width ie 8 feet wide as I go and do some ivestigation into what might look good over this side of the pacific

WELL A BLOKES ALLOWED TO DREAM HEY

Paul

Well you make sure you look after my dream machine now

Im only joking welcome to forum mate I had my eye on that there truck but the 10 days for removal was a problem from Australia she looked like a good bye to me even after being converted to RHD make sure you show us some pictures of it when shes back at work

FOUND THIS ON F@$KBOOK! LOOKED OUTTA WHACK TO ME! MICK

of course it looks out of whack some clown has put the steering wheel on the wrong side whoever did that in the factory needs a good kick in the ass

Paul

Some days we should just stay in bed !!!!!!!!! we can all say heaps after the event but most of us have had some major stuff ups and most of us have got away with it phew!!!!!

Paul

If it was a little low on lube I wouldnt think it would make much difference because the oil is fairly flying around the box once your moving that fast if it is only one gear I would lean towards a crook bearing in the box however I would check the uni's and make sure the yokes are tight (as said above) before I would get all keen and drop the box out could also have a crook carrier bearing perhaps ?

You see I have always found that with drive line harmonics??? sought of can give false indications of were the problem lies and quite often I can spend bucket loads of time looking in the wrong direction

Paul

I got to thinking I know I shouldnt but one thing that occured to me after posting is you might have to machine a groove in the spider like they had on a K5 or K6 inter on there back axle's and you clamp a band around so that you could run singles by putting the clamp then the spacer and just the outside dual hope this makes some sense as other wise the wheel wont sit right and our tight on the hub

Paul

does it have a watch dog a lot of industrial motors had them being an industrial type of truck it might have had something like that fitted ? Have you got some photos of the injector pump and bits and pieces ? might help to get everyones grey matter work

Pump

Mate these are common as this wide brown land we put them on steer axle to give us more capacity ride grip and they look a lot tougher

Paul

yep mate if there all rotted away here in Australia were the weather is much kinder than there they are defenitly gonna be stuffed over there I would have thought

Paul

Vlad your are doing a top job there mate I wouldnt even try to do something like that because if I did it it would look I had done it

thanks for sharing keep it you will be asleep in the bunk in no time

Paul

sometimes a hose can seperate on the inside and while the out side looks fine the inside can collapse and close off BUT !!!!!!! it would only be the suction hose from the tank to the pump that could cause your problem are you sure there is not a piece of plastic floating around in the tank that drifts over the pickup every now and then because one way or another when this happens you pump is getting starved for oil so it should be pretty easy to find

maybe there is some poxy filter on the suction in the tank that has collapsed ?

Paul

for all the coin that must have been spent doing the hot rod up it would appear that someone forgot to put a hand brake on judging by the rocks at the back wheels

Paul

Well it sounds like you blokes have got it by the "BALL'S" as we say out here 4000 troops hey WTF are they gonna do with if it all goes pear shaped ??? Im not sure if the people at the top have thought this one threw ??????????

Paul

you lot have lost the plot havent you lot heard "beauty is only skin" so its got a few beauty spots and the bones might creak and the heart might leak but it all can be fixed you just need shove some dollars at it

Paul

It dont matter what you all say I still kinda like it

well I was told we all need a challange in life come on you lot dont be shy jump in boots and all and remember stick enough hundred dollar notes in the tank and you can fix anything

Paul

I just blew them pictures up it is not to bad you can still buy most panels shame about the chassis though but it can be fixed maybe ??? struth lads Mrs Mack would have that much rust almost in the cab and I still love here

well Im with the rest of you does it to me as well sometimes, would appear we all have dud computers lol

Paul

mate looks the goods the best way I know to save cash is no sleeper at all and cheaper to run, no missus or kids can come for a ride then, cant take one with out the other sleep on the ground in a swag if your gunna be away over night have a camp fire going have a few cold cans now thats living

Paul

mate a picture might be the go here all these numbers dont mean anything to me

Paul

has the suction hose gone all soft and sucking in on its self ?

Paul
