Hmmm, maybe I will switch over from 15w40. Thanks for the info.

Been contemplating this change on my truck for years. Haven't wanted to cut the original yet, been hoping to find a used SS model that might fit well. I know Watts used to offer a dry filter set up but is a bit pricey these days. I know oil bath is supposed to be better but I know my 237 sure does pull a lot of oil through the intake pipe.

I loaded tapatalk once and quickly shut it down. YouTube is pretty easy and one quick link and it is posted anywhere you want.

Yup, it needs puller to get off the crank but I just put mine in a 200* oven for like 10 minutes and it slipped right on the 237 crank. Not hot enough to burn the seal in the front cover, just enough to get it on the crank.

Bob you need to use YouTube and then post a link. If you try to just download a video straight to BMT it doesn't work well.

I know I used the hub and balancer from my 673. Maybe that is the problem, the E6 is offset enough that it won't work in a B?

I know the heater box was the first piece I restored in my cab. The cover wasn't nice enough to chrome plate...and I'd like to do it, the dash and glove box lid. I could use stainless steel and polish it?

Take off in a gear that you don't have to ride the clutch. My B can go as high as third low bobtailing. Whats the saying.....ass for every seat? Looks like that seat had every ass in it!! Lmao!!

I also can just barely get the belts off my motor. Just enough wiggle room. I think that's normal. You do have to run a 673 balancer and water pump.

Wonder whats longer about it? Its still just a 2 valve motor, right?

Ugh...how bad I need this. I'm currently taping mine back together enough to install it again. I want to do a pleated version. Shipping would kill the deal for me.

In this day and age, FB is what most use but it does seem a bit cheesey for us that grew up with more hands on approach of advertising a business. Brick and mortar kind of thing.....but that is not how the world turns today.

I still have all my toys. Legos, tonka trucks, erector set, lincoln logs, tinker toys. The last Legos I bought were the "expert builder" stuff in late 70s. I got the crane and farm tractor. They were big money in the day. Lots of moving parts and stuff. I found the write up about that R model. It was custom built and not a kit. This Technic kits are NOT cheap. Wowzers, $400-600! Cool none the less

I don't know but sure seems a good old cb sure would have helped out in situations like that? "Hey there's a wreck, back it down". Instead, like typical, the whole world piles up on top of each other with no end in site. Tragic.

It was 70+ last Wed, it was teens last night and had 1-2" of snow yesterday. Suppose to be 70 again this Wed. This is bullship.

Even with spin on filters it will take quite a bit to get it to register oil pressure. Have good batteries and a charger. The hand plunger will draw fuel quickly if the check valves work. They may be stuck but that's a simple fix. I would suggest just using a bucket of fuel instead of dealing with fixing the tanks. Be sure the engine is healthy first. Just take the suction line and return line and stick in a 5 gal bucket of clean diesel. Pump the primer and go from there. I knew nothing about my truck when I bought it 20 yrs ago so you are not alone about having minimal knowledge starting out. Removing the side plate of the injection pump will allow you to see the plungers. Crank engine and see if they move up/ down. The 237 I bought for my truck had a couple sticky plungers at first. Little wd40 and a screwdriver worked them loose.

Fantastic!!

Welcome to the forums. Surely we can assist you in getting it running. Checklist: Fuel in tank? Fuel lines in good shape? Transfer pump working? Filters good? Shut off cable/arm in correct position? Does hand pump have resistance when pumping? The overall system is simple once you understand the parts. Just need to track down where it isn't getting fuel.

I heard Mike Harbison make a comment about a Vinny on facebook and how he was into snowmobiles. I assume it is the same Vinny?

My 673, 4.64 triplex would get 9 bobtail. Around 8 with my 14k trailer. This is right up at 2100 rpm. I did have the pump rolled up a couple flats. I had it really up and got 4 mpg! Once fuel hit $4/gal about 10 yrs ago I moved it back to get better mileage again. My 237, 4.10 gets similar mileage pulling my trailer. Just doesn't slow down on the hills like the 673 did. I do run it at 1800 rpm at 65 mph.

Ohio just passed no requirements for CCW. No schooling, no testing. That has many in an uproar. Here comes the wild west!

Sorry I've never seen that one either. I don't like to get into political discussion because they always end badly. I don't discuss it with my friends that are liberals.

Does it seem that the Left has such a hatred that most any wish a tragic death to a person. Remember that scrawny comedian bitch that had trumps head? Never once have you heard anyone from the right go to such extremes to wish death to a person. Is it just me?

Yes, 4 round is ok. Its just the square lights that look out of proportion.

You guys down under tend to run more lights for dealing with the vast open darkness you deal with traveling down yonder. The square lights just look out of place with all the round corners of vintage trucks. Four round ones are okay.
