Yeah, yeah yeah Mike.  I know.

I was in a hurry this morning and just did a cut and paste because I was
short on time.  My apologies to those that didn't find it worth reading.
So, as penance, I'll try to answer a couple of questions.  And Mike, FYI,
binders DO have bank accounts, they're just always empty or overdrawn.  So
there.  :-P

An S-1854 is on the heavier side of IH's (sorry, but if it's an '90 it's
still IH not Navistar) medium duty line.  Engines were either MV404's or
MV446.  If it's a diesel, it's going to have (most likely) a DT466 if it has
an IHC engine.  Cummins or Detroit otherwise most likely.  I haven't seen
too many medium duty IH's powered by Cat, but there were a few with 3208's.
They can be almost any wheelbase depending on the application.
Transmissions will be either 5 speeds, Automatics, or Fullers.

As to the heat risers, and this is just my opinion, I think that the heated
air through the air cleaner thermostatically controlled butterfly does a far
better job in cold weather than the heat riser and you don't have the
disadvantage of a hot HOT exhaust passage running through your exhaust
manifold.  FWIW, I blocked mine off on the 392 (the passages to the intake)
and it warms up just fine.  NOTE: DO NOT BLOCK THEM OFF AND LEAVE THE HEAT
RISER IN PLACE.

Happy Trails
