International 4700 : Adding EGT gauge, turning up fuel, trying to fix rear end

The only difficulty in NYS is that older trucks tend to get neglected and rot out within 20-30 years. Depending on who owned it and took care of the truck they can last a long time. You dont see many older trucks in NY often unless they are from out of state. But, you are correct. I'm 21 and I love the older "simple" vehicles and equipment since I can understand it.

[@alouisschafer7212]

@@adamcase3157 best way to keep the rot at bay is to spray the vehicle down with fluid film. Soak everything down underneath and in the engine bay. Of course not the brakes and components like the belts, alternator or exhaust.

To test the rear end hi/low mechanism, I would remove the electronic box, weld a small piece to housing to hold the shifter in hi or low position, drive it around see if it holds the gear, if it does than the problem is the electronic board in the shifter box, if it doesn't stay in gear, than the problem obviously is in the differential gears.

[@robertfinnerty7201]

Based on the 500K miles on the truck I expect that the planetary gears in the rear are worn out. If the previous owners or operators didn't know how to properly shift it they probably were grinding the gears. They planetary gear engages when you select the low range. They are probably causing it to pop out of low. I'm fairly confident your problem is in the differential. I hope this helps.

Bud,pyro sensor needs to go after the turbo on the exhaust side,all you're basically doing is the temp at the cylinder its installed opposite too,also that air cleaner restriction gauge(what's left of it) sucks on the clean side.....if it's open to atmosphere it will ,or has been sucking dirty/dusty air,maybe the motor is just dusted. DT466's had a habit of snapping at the end of the crankshaft to the flywheel, the later DT466B's defined that the crankshaft was better machined with a increased radius curve at the flywheel to crank. If it's not a "B",we use to call them turning time bombs! Good luck!!

Till the shop is up, your backside is the shop. I hated it too. The rear end.... the shift fork on the inside of the rear end and part that sticks out behind the shift motor sets in a brass bushing top and bottom on most but they do very a bit on just how they make the shift. Those bushings most likely the lower one on the inside is worn out and lets it climb out.... one of the two points will be bad worn and needs to be replaced. I haven't done one in over forty years so its hard to describe it well. Also in the rear end itself it has a shift collar that goes high/low... it looks like a sincro out of a transmission and works the same way to make it synchronized other wise like before all that and back in the forties it was straight cut and had to really have the rpms just right to make it work well. We used to take the electric or vacuum motor off and make a lever that would manually shift the gears which was fine as a kid cause it was one more lever. Personally those transmissions in either truck are a waste of money. A nine, ten or thirteen speed would be much more to the advantage point. I don't know if one rear end from the flatbed repair/parts truck will slip in but once inside of it by just taking the center section out, it will explain in black and white why the other is jumping out of gear.... what makes them wear like that is the bearings are too small for the job. Unless someone gives you plenty for the old truck, keep it till you know whats what with the new one. Parts and pieces should be everywhere for the older trucks laid up/retired. I personally if it were me go with a thirteen speed, and single speed rear end. Keep away from dayton wheels and stick with the budd rims like you have now.

[@fredbeor2299]

he planetary gears are with a brass shafts or pins that's what wore and will not stay aligned when it in low gear. Drain the oil and have it tested and lock for brass particle. Hope this help

Also having some issues with the rear end, heck I’m not even sure if it’s going into high or low, it seems like it’s really winding out at 55 so maybe it’s stuck in low.

Hi Jessie, in the UK if you mess with the fuel settings on the pump when you go for the vehicle annual test it would probably fail on exhaust emissions due to black smoke . From what I recall where you adjusted the fueling there is a diaphragm that stops the rack from causing the engine to surge.

[@jmuller86]

you can adjust the pre turbo fuel smoke screw and then it wont smoke even if turned up

A lot of places in the US don't require annual tests on certain vehicles... I live in Washington State, and privately owned (not for hire) vehicles are not regulated.

Laws in the US are loose and allow for a lot more modifications than European Laws. In Belgium for example the cops will literally pull you over for having larger wheels on your car.
