Detroit Diesel 71 - 92 series fans

Well I discovered today that the engine has been changed at sometime, the model # identified it as originally and industrial spec, so that means they probably swapped out the governors etc, my typo its a TA spec rather than TTA

 

Update, engine was originally TTA, but when check # via DD specialist if valve cover plate matches the engine it's now a non-highway
TA so only will know for sure when I do the engine service. Model is a KM64TF which is the shorter nose with forward axle.
Just came back from my 2nd visit to the truck, installed my S/Single Alcoa w/ 425/65 tires, 2 new batteries, mocked up temp mudflaps
Clean out inside, next visit will change oil and all filters. & finally drive it home.
I think it's starting to look good for a $2500 truck ?

 

I used ad hunter (allofcraigs) baulk search

 

Here's couple of small YouTube videos of my DD powered A-Car

I had all the inspection plates off, not that much oil in there, but it is thicker black oil, even though pan oil is still clean, I now suspect blower seals, also my air compressor is worn out, evidence of some clean oil in air system. So plan to buy both NOS parts off eBay.
Other thing I didn't realized is that truck has a Luberfiner 750 external bypass filter, which was not serviced when I changed oil & filter, that apparently requires 2-3 extra gals of oil so this would explain some loss, + I had 1.5 gals of oil in my temp' catch cans for the drip tubes. Now I've clean the valves + it had a good run home they only weep, so most of this was from the old load up in valley from all it previous idling & bad thin out oil.
