Its a 1976 RL685 with a 9 yard Challenge Cook Mixer, I work it 2 to 4 days a week and love my truck. Last week it broke the rt front main leaf spring and I cant find one anywhere. Its a 20,000 lb front axle 11 leafs 3.5" wide, Triangle Part # 62-734. I might have to send it to the scrap yard if I cant find or get one made

I use a 5 gallon bucket of clean solvent and dry ice to put the liners in, and welding gloves , they get cold enough that your skin will stick

Connect the Intake for the compressor to the boost side of the turbo and it will stop 90% of the oil. Mine was hooked up to
the air filter side and used to get a lot of oil in the tanks, Air dryers are a must!! I drain my tanks every 2 months and get almost nothing

You can make it out of wood too

Could be a loose injector. I had one come loose, I just put water on the top of the engine and saw the bubbles comming
from the loose one. It was all carboned up so I had to pull it and clean everything

There are ok , 1st one a little dark but sound was good

My truck did the same thing, it was water in the fuel tank!! It would run fine for days then I would hit a bump on the freeway
and the engine would stumble for a sec. The fuel pick up is about a inch off the bottom of the tank, the sloshing would let water
get sucked up when I hit bumps or parked on a hill.

I forget if your engine has a turbo but that much oil it can only be the turbo! Don't know the seals would go out from just sitting
cuz they are metal ring type seal. If you don't have a turbo the oil rings are gummed up and need to be unfrozen, either by driving or oil additives or the unthinkable (inframe)

The picture you had yesterday shows you have a robert bosch pump, there is a plug on the back side of the pump, take the plug out have someone turn the engine over by hand with the fuel stop out, there are 2 flat screwdriver ajustments on the goveneor half way around from each other. you have to turn them same turns on both sides, you have to use a long flat screwdriver through the exaust manifold, push down while you turn. i would go 3 turns to start with each one. i turned the rpm up on a 88 300 went from 1750 to 2200. hope this helps let me know. Ron
Ill try that when I have to do some exhaust wk, its Tight in there dont know if i can cut the safety wire and get the plug out.
I found 2psi of boost!!! the gas pedal had a little more travel in it . I'm up to 27 psi now

Hey scooter what transmission and rear ratio do you have?
Nice Mixer by the way.
I have the Maxi-Torque T107 5 speed and I think the rear ends are 4.11.
4th to 5th is a lugger on a hill but it pulls through it from about 1000 rpm, if I shift with the jake it cuts back a little smoking and
keeps the boost up.
Here is a photo from 6 years ago when I put a new clutch in it. Dam that thing was Heavy

I read the other topic on how to increase the fuel but my pump looks different. I think it is a Bosch.
Its a ETAY673A 315 HP 1979, Max rpm under a heavy load is only 1900 and cruzing is 2100 I can only due 57 mph at
2100 rpm I need just a little more! The puff elemator works great and I have a bypass s/w on the dash for steep hills
The engine doesn't blow smoke at all.
Ok i opened the top of the pump and ????? New photo too!!
Thanks

If you're not getting water in the air tanks leave it alone.

Check the fuel lines ! Take a medium screw driver and gently move the lines around and listen. If the lines are touching each
other it will sound just like a loose valve adjustment.

Arc weld it , cool it and protect the crank
