Also, you could check into flow restrictors for the P/S pump. Installed in the high pressure line side of course. I believe they are called needle valves. They are commonly used in log splitters to slow the speed of log table lifts, and 4-way wedge adjustment. They are plumbed in line to those so the main cylinder can operate at full PSI.

I'm hopefully picking a 466 up this week to put in my 02 f350 mud truck so I will likely have some questions In the future

Wow, this build looks awesome. Excited to see this baby complete. Nice job!

Hi I have been around semis some , on the air compressor there is a governing valve. So to keep it simple, when the system pressure reaches maximum ( usually about 125 psi ) the value switches and closes off the system and opens up the bypass so that the pressure feeds back into the suction creating a static condition ( the compressor is still turning/pistons still going up&down ) Hopefully this explanation helps. Thanks for sharing another great video.

Air compressor output pressure regulated...minimum turn on/maximum turn off...by a compressor mounted governor (Bendix D2 adjustable and preset at 125# output). Pop-off valve (ST4 non-adjustable 150#) is safety valve on air tank in case governor fails. Stainless braid covered teflon tubing off of compressor to dissipate heat, eliminate vibration, and then Synflex air brake tubing to tank. DOT push-in fittings are easy and reusable. Manual cable-operated water drain valve on tank. "Hot" compressed air make water in tank (same as shop compressor). Optional filter and regulator at tank output for dry air to tires, air tools, etc.

Looking forward to watching this build process.

Thanks for the update. I've been looking forward to these videos. I just got hold of a 1993 DT466 with a p pump. Excited to know what you do about your power steering.

I love it! Just sitting here contemplating a dt466 swap in a 02 dodge. My engine is from a juice break truck so no compressor. Which brings me to my thoughts on "big rig" air compressors for on board air systems. They are designed to be used consistently. They kick off via the governor when the signal line from the air dryer is charged indicating governored air pressure is met. I don't believe that one of these would be too happy consistently running but doing nothing as it would in an on board air type use. Some food for thought. Keep up the good work!

Glad to see this thing finally back! I can't wait to see the finished product

Nice build! There has been a couple of OBS Fords with a DT swapped in. Great engines. I have an electronic version which is a little less reliable but still purrs like a tiger.

That is a big project!

As an owner of 5 dt466 internationals I'm excited to see this update. The air compressor will turn itself off I'm pretty confident. It has a governor, not a switch.

If you flip the exhaust manifold over it will give a couple extra inches of clearance for your turbo

Hey bud cool project. Lemme know if you want my email I’m a heavy equipment mechanic and do a lot of trucks too. On top of that air compressor you will notice an aluminum cylinder with a black plastic cap on it. That’s the governor. It regulates the pressure the compressor cuts in and out at. It will have a port for a signal line going to your tank. It has another port for signal to air dryer purge which you may or may not decide to use. I have a ton of Bendix books on all of that stuff in PDF format so just let me know and I can shoot them over to you!

Please please keep us up to date. Maybe someday I will be able to buy a kit?

if your going to use the factory wiring and sensors why not use a factory 6.0 vgt turbo would sound good and give better boost throughout the rpm range. stay healthy and thanks for sharing

Been waiting on this for a minute!!! I want to swap one if these into an ex sooooo bad!!!

Definitely want a cut off switch or regulator on that air compressor I had a tank blow up on me when I was messing with a mack

I would hate to have to adjust the overhead, lift the cab just to pull the valve cover.... UGH.
