I dunno about whos right or wrong here I do know that in days gone by (and even today if your old fashioned like me) that you always walk down the road or foot path (side walk I think you blokes call that) you always walk with your significant other to your left I am lead to believe this comes from many years earlier and it kept your right arm free to defend against any rat bags with your sword I reckon it would have been the same when out in the horse and buggy etc So Im thinking maybe this is why drive on the side of the road we do because when cars first came about there was plenty of horses pulling loads And then again I might have this all ass about as well lol Paul

I never did until just now ,all very interesting I think https://usa.embassy.gov.au/events/diggers-doughboys-art-allies-100-years Have a read if the link works Paul

If you find the pressure is to high I would guess it has popped the o rings and seals in the gear knob so it will need to be disassembled and the o rings put back in their grooves Paul

On the top of the transmission RHS on the ones I have worked on Some have two regulators some have two They should ne 55 -60 psi Paul

12V71 was at a blokes joint today and was looking at a 453 he is putting in little IH truck (guessi g a 2 or 3 ton mid 50's type) Anyway got to talking about a Jacobs brake for it and I suggested you may have a lead as to were to get a set so said Id ask So any idea's were to track a set down ? And a questio from me , have you ever mucked around with a 6 110 GM ??? Paul

Pressure regulator sounds like its not working on the transmission

12v71 welcome to the forum Dunno if Macks had a 12v71but a few KW's did out here Paul

So how would a mechanic road test a manual transmission if they can't drive it ???

I think most people out side of the find it amazing that a lot of Americans cant drive a manual at all and it appears a lot of Americans fear the very thought of driving them Paul

I jave only ever seen bonnetted (conventional for yanks) ones out here Read the other day only 33 made it out here in total so the fact I see any at all is amazing Paul

How could a bent crank effect the timing??? The cam is driven off the front of the crank so even if the crank was bent it would have effect on the cam posistion to the crank , so it would have no effect on timing Paul

It's a funny thing how attached we become to things Paul

I doubt it will be the cam grind , diesels arent as susceptible to cam shaft grinds as petrol But you are saying there is a sensor driven from the cam ? perhaps thats a place to start Perhaps these newer motors are cam sensitve and the cam isnt the right one or installed right Think about it this way , if the timing is out two tenths of sweet stuff all then the sensor will be out of time with the crank and the injectors will be out of time with crank and the cam sensor As I have said already, I would dial in the cam like I would have as young bloke chucking a hot cam in a car motor, not just make sure its timing marks are lined up but make sure the lobes are rising and falling in the correct position to the crank and to the sensor I would also make sure the crank sensor reads at the correct time and matches the timing of the cam sensor This is what I would do, I doubt most young blokes would even know what Im talking about at any truck dealers so I would think this is something I would do at home over a weekend I think you also find most people in modern work shops have little to no idea on fault findint and rely on work shop manuals and what the lap top says and anything unusual just gets guessed at not thought out Just some thoughts Paul

Thats a whole lot of get up and go in very tidy package in the 12 pot Cobra Very very cool indeed Paul

So this all started after the cam was changed I'm pretty sure you said a few pages ago And since then in a attempt to fix the problem caused by someone changing a cam there has been just about everything else changed from the front to back the back of the truck If it was mine I would be looking at the timing and all of this stuff that is driven from the timing I find this almost impossible to believe that this has gone on for this long without people going back to when the problem started and finding the stuff up back then Paul

It was less than a 100 Im reckon I read some where They are a mob on the Hume hwy around Cambell Field Melbourne , cant think of the name now They were a major engine rebuilder and gear box mob and all manor of truck parts and wrecking as well Not to be confused with the mob in Perth also doing DiamondReos as well around the same time

Yeah I um dunno about this one , good luck with it I guess If you click on the link it goes on about dealer network and parts availability etc I aint seen no Diamond Reo signs about ? Paul

Were do these injectors get the signal from on the motor of when to fire ? There must be a sensor that picks up the position of the crank, were and what is it ? Paul

Hang on I must be realy thick , if it vibrates when its in neutral and the truck sitting still it eliminates all the rest on the Swish mans list And as I recall this only became real bad after a fresh cam was installed There is some major hints as to were to look Dunno much about these modern motors but the cam drives the injector pump on older motors If the cam is out a poofteenth it means the injector pump is out So I would dial um the cam just to check it I would then spill time the pump tomake sure its fine and accurate as well Ans lastly make sure the injector lines are still going to the correct injectors But if it's some flash common rail jigger you might wanna forget all of the above lol Paul

No the cracks are fairly common Looks like the oil is coming from much higher up looking at the trunnions Paul

In this wide brown land there are 3 topics that are frowned upon been discussed Or at least there was 3, things are changing in recent years Politics ,money and religion All three start fights always have, always will I believe this is because we believe everyone can believe what ever they want as it doesnt effect everyone else, do what you want And as for money, it should never be spoken of as you never know how someone else is going Thats the free country I live in and come from Very different from the US But I dont have a problem with people talking these things on here as it is a US based forum But be aware there is nothing to stop people from other parts of the world with vastly different views than the US starting to talk about things as well Paul

There is a facebook page on this book Paul

Mate need a better photo of back row you are referring to Paul

Nope never heard of it but might make mension for my Chrissy stocking this year Paul

That was a grew read, I cant imagine young men doing this today Paul
