Can anyone recommend a website or store to find used detroit parts? I am in need of a replacement exhaust manifold adaptor for a 4-53t and the part is obsolete. Parts guys at detroit and covington have been looking- the detroit guy said he used all his resources and no luck. Any help would be...

I'm just posting these links for you guys if you are intersted. First to last is in order of easiest to read/understand, but they are all useful. They say the same thing, just in different way. They really helped me to inuitiviley understand how the systems worked (way better than learning it...

A while back, someone posted a source for replacement vent screens for the heads. Homo Depot or Lowes perhaps? My blowers dont work yet, but the screens look terrible !! Appreciate any info... Gotta go shopping tomorrow for new crapper hose etc, so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone! ws

Therapy is a 1979, 43' DC with 671T's. I have owned her for 18 months. The previous owner used her much like a trawler and drove with one engine in nuetral idle speed and the other at 1500 RPM cruising at 8 knots. Many years ago he contacted a technician at Capital Gears and was told to run the...

Hello all, I am the proud new owner of a 1963 34DC. I don't think it has been cared for since 1964. The hull and most of the superstructure is sound. The engines and interior are a different story. I am considering several options for the repower (which I am probably going to tackle first). ...
