Just got a call back.

It's an "LF"

1950 vintage

Packer

Just talked to a guy here in Wyoming about a "KLJ" mack.

Thought he was full of it and kinda' hinted that!

But now I'm not sure.

"LJ's" I understand.

KLJ's ?

a little help here would be great!!

Thanks,

Packer

Could it be that a piston in the dynatard is sticking?

Was the Dynatard rebuilt?

Silnoid routes oil through the passage ways and holds a small piston down.

When the power is pulled off, (12 volt) the piston should move back (up) and all is well.

Pull the one that is hanging up and check for scoring.

A little bit of polishing is too much!

Replace/rebuild and see if that wont fix it!

Doing some work on a TRD 670.

Getting it ready for warm weather (If that ever happens).

Found a cracked/broken ear on the input shaft bearing cover.

It's had a rough life the last few years, getting moved from here to there more than once!

Finally found a really good project for the trans and now this!!

So-o-o-o I hope some one has a housing that will fix my problem!

Any one out there got such an item?

Other than that the trans looks really good.

Please e-mail or call if you've got one.

Pressures not on yet!!

I've always used a heavy steel plate turned just under sized with a step cut in it to match the inside of the liner.

A hole is drilled in the center and a threaded rod run through it.

A hydrolic cylinder that has a hole thru it is placed on a stand and the thing was jacked up and pulled the liner.

Might be a hassle, but it worked every time and when you got thru, the thing was always there for the next time you needed it.

No goobers from welding dropping on the crank shaft and all 6 were pulled in an hour or so.

DM's were special because #5 cylinder set under the firewall and took lots of extra stuff to keep the thing coming out.

Fast,clean and easy!

Most old transmissions and diff's have a hole about half way between fill and drain plugs.

Thats where the senders go.

As far as ohm readings go, I don't have a clue!

You can drop the sender in a pot of water and bring it to boil - - - that's 212 degrees and go from there.

Four days is a little tight!!!

Olivetroad:

Dodge has a vacumm pump for operating brakes, heater vents and such.

Packer

I don't have the smarts to draw a schmatic and poet it but - - - the power flow is:

1)From the 'Hot' buss bar to a fuse or breaker

2)Fuse or breaker to the dash switch

3)Then I run mine to the clutch switch (As HK stated, "Adjusted correctly")

4)Clutch switch to the pump/fuel linkage switch (Adjusted correctly)

5)To the Jake boxes

A test light or multimeter clipped onto each switch will help troubleshoot and adjust each switch.

Might also check for broken wire or loose connections

I can't remember a switch ever going bad but it can happen.

Usually just needs tweeking.

GET YOUR RING YET?

"I promise 100% transparency in my administration."

"I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year."

"I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills."

"I will remove earmarks for PORK projects before I sign any bill."

"I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year"

"I'll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!"

"I'll have no lobbyists in my administration"

Did you get yours yet?

Me, neither. Demand is too great...

Something not mentioned is the fact that you ALWAYS shift the stick going up first!

ie: Three speed from lo to hi, then 5th to 4th on the down shift

Packer

I've got 3 18 speeds and would swap in a heart beat!!

Packer

A bit of help:

Use .023 wire in a wire feed welder (gas shielded) and if you have a feed guide somewhere, set the feed at just under the gage of the dash metal.

Packer

A glad hand and an air hose chuck and an air line would work.

Glad hand with air line quick conect.

Air hose and another quick connect in the air tank.

Hook them all togother and then switch the valve in the 'Jumper' truck.

Trucks with air-start all had that in the tool box (in the day).

Packer

I found a 12 speed with an air splitter.

Rather have a two stick set-up.

Still in the works but a trade might work for both of us!

Packer

In my 'stuff' I have a backyard fix-it for turning pumps up.

I'll try to get it to you.

Packer

They do have a few around.

I think that they were an after-market item.

Be good to have one - - - make it much easier to work on the engine!!

Packer

I think Speed may have one!!!

I've seen one someplace, and it may be on Speeds' truck!

Packer

I've been asking around but still haven't found two of them yet.

I get the first one - - - you'll get the second one!!!

Packer

Now that's funny (or not)!!

Packer

There is a book called "Mack" by John Montville.

According to the book, Mack picked up 'Peter O. Peterson', 'Executive Vice President' at Studebaker Corp in 1951.

I think that is where the "Studebaker" look came from in the 'B' model trucks.

Paker

My first guess was wrong (Sorry Josh)!

Simeone was looking for a 'Baby Quad' a while back, but I don't remember who that was.

Got to know SOON!!! if that person is still looking.

I'm headed East and could get it to Indania or maybe N. Y. but tomorrow is it.

Call!
