Dump truck body size gas 53 dump truck

GAZ 53 trucks have not been produced from the production line for a long time, and those models that are still driving on the roads need various modifications. The design of the car no longer meets modern requirements - the engine does not have enough torque, the design does not meet modern requirements. In a word, the GAZ 53 model requires tuning.

Technical characteristics of GAZ-53

Before studying the technical characteristics of the GAZ 53 engine, it is advisable to familiarize yourself in more detail with the features of the model. It seems to be one of the popular cars, since over 4 million vehicles were produced between 1961 and 1993.

Since the release of the first series, specialists from the Gorky Automobile Plant have constantly improved the van, modernizing it in order to improve its technical performance. The body of the GAZ 53 is all-metal, which makes it durable and reliable.

The performance indicators of the GAZ 53 A directly depend on the modification in question. Most of them have typical standard values:

• layout - front-engine truck with rear-wheel drive;
• engine type - ZMZ-53;
• type of cooling - liquid;
• gearbox - manual transmission with 4 steps + reverse gear;
• weight - 3.2 tons;
• maximum load capacity - 4.5 tons;
• tire size - 24-50.08 cm;
• wheel size - 8.25-20 inches;
• fuel tank volume - 90 liters;
• fuel type - A-76 gasoline;
• maximum speed – 90 km/h on the highway;
• fuel consumption - 24-30 l/100 km.

Thanks to the high ground clearance of 26.5 cm, this model can be successfully operated in conditions of poor quality road surfaces. This is typical for most trucks popular in the USSR.

We pay attention to the equipment and decoration of the interior

Thick metal is used to make the interior of the car in question. However, it does not have proper protection from exposure to high humidity, which determines the rapid appearance of rust. That is why modernizing a car involves welding and repainting work. In addition, rust may appear on the underbody, fenders and running boards. Let us note the point that instead of the factory-installed cab, they quite often install a cab from the GAZ 3307. In this case, alterations will be minimal. In addition, we note the service for manufacturing the GAZ 53 body. Note that such a service is provided exclusively on order, and its cost is quite high. This is why many people decide to dismantle the old cabin to reinstall it. You can install new chairs, which can be taken from a VAZ 2107. This is due to the fact that original sofas arrive in very poor condition. The original steering wheel also looks bad; you can install the Zhiguli version. The following modifications to the interior can also be carried out: • It is possible to install central locking with remote control. Such modification is possible by installing a structure from another car. • A lamp from models of foreign automakers is installed. There is very little light in the cabin, which makes it uncomfortable. Therefore, additional light sources should be installed. • If desired, you can also install a modern alarm system. The interior can be changed almost beyond recognition, it all depends on how much time and money can be spent on it.

Vehicle dimensions

At the time of release, the GAZ 53 car corresponded to trends in terms of exterior and interior design, which was manifested in the high-quality radiator lining. The frame of the product is highly durable. This allows you to use the car even in slightly overloaded conditions.

The length of the vehicle is 6.4 m and the width is 2.4. The height of the model, if measured solely by the cabin in an unloaded state, is 2.2 m. The body volume allows you to transport even large loads, thanks to which the product is considered a universal means for transporting them.

The dimensions of the product also depend on the modification. For example, the dimensions of the dump truck body are slightly larger than those of the standard version.

Buying a GAZ 3309 dump truck is profitable.

• Simple design with a large margin of safety
• Availability of spare parts and consumables
• Available options include a five-passenger, two-row cab.
• The warranty for GAZ-3309 is 1 year or 30 thousand km.
• Service is possible at any service center in the Russian Federation and CIS countries

offers the possibility of increasing the height of the sides to increase the volume of the body.

Extended sides provide an increase in body volume from 5 to 10 m3 and an awning with fastening parts that provides maximum protection for the cargo.

The GAZon dump truck can be equipped with a manipulator crane (CMC), which will significantly facilitate work with cargo and save time.

Cabin GAZ-53

The cabin interior deserves special mention, as it was considered comfortable and ergonomic at the time of release. Today it is clearly outdated, which is manifested not only in design, but also in operational characteristics. Compared to its predecessor GAZ-51, the cabin has become much more spacious.

In addition, it has good thermal insulation, especially modifications intended for use in the Far North. The seats are made of artificial non-marking leather, which makes caring for the cabin much easier. Their size allows 1 driver and 2 passengers to fit in the cabin.

Dump truck GAZ 3309

The GAZ 3309 chassis has excellent cross-country ability - it moves freely not only on asphalt, but also on unpaved surfaces.
The dump truck can easily be repaired manually, the dealer network of spare parts is quite wide, and there are quite a lot of service centers in Russia.

GAZ-3309 with rear unloading is especially in demand in construction and in the field of waste collection. For agricultural work, farmers and enterprises often choose a dump truck with three-way (universal) unloading.

offers to buy a dump truck on the GAZ-3309 chassis at an affordable price, as well as additional equipment and custom-made dump truck add-ons.

Auto device

The design of this unit is simple and reliable, thanks to which the GAZ-53 is widely used as an inexpensive truck that is unpretentious in maintenance. Studying its design, we can identify several key components that deserve separate consideration:

• power unit;
• additional systems and mechanisms necessary for the operation of the car;
• electrical equipment.

You should also note the cardan shaft, an important element of which is a cross in the amount of 3 pieces.

Engine GAZ-53

The power unit of this model is considered one of the most durable, since it relatively rarely requires serious repair work. Its identification number is ZMZ-53, it has a displacement of 4.25 liters and a power of 115 hp. The engine runs on gasoline, is of the V-type, equipped with 8 cylinders.

They are made of a special grade of aluminum, not only the cylinder body, but also their head parts. The diameter of each is 9.2 cm, the operating principle is 4-stroke. Its power is quite enough for driving on the highway exceeding the maximum speed declared by the manufacturer, but only if there is no load.

Despite the fact that, according to the documentation supplied with the car, its fuel consumption is 24 liters per 100 km, such a figure may not correspond to real figures. Consumption increases significantly when the car is loaded, as well as driving on uneven roads, in rain or snow.

Systems and mechanisms

The model's gearbox is equipped with 5 steps, 4 of which are full speed, and 1 is reverse gear. The 53 modification was equipped with synchronizers, which makes switching them much easier.

The clutch is of the dry type and is equipped with one disc. The springs have a long service life, are semi-elliptical, and are installed in the amount of 4 pieces. Overloading the vehicle significantly reduces the service life of these components and leads to their rapid breakdown.

Line of GAZ-53 cars

Since the design of the vehicle turned out to be extremely successful, GAZ engineers actively modified it to better suit specific tasks. Among the modifications that are most widespread among consumers, it is advisable to mention the following versions:

• F - modification equipped with a forced engine;
• A - modernized version with a lifting capacity of 4 tons;
• N - military version, equipped with additional elements and a fuel tank of increased capacity;
• 53-19 - version running on liquefied gas.

Also worthy of mention is the GAZ53 B tipper type, as well as a sewer truck based on the model. At the same time, there are many other, less common modifications that have a narrow specialization or were produced in small quantities.

Technical characteristics of the GAZ-53 dump truck and other modifications

For use in agriculture and forestry, industry and transport, the Gorky Automobile Plant produced more than 4 million GAZ-53 units. Based on the chassis of models 53F, 53A and 53-12, trucks for various purposes were produced: fire engines, vacuum trucks, milk tankers, sewage tanks, vans and buses. GAZ-5319 and 5327 operated on liquefied and compressed gas. The GAZ-53 dump truck was produced in 1966-74, was labeled GAZ-SAZ-53B and was intended for transporting bulk materials on various roads.

Technical characteristics and design of vehicle components

Thanks to its high technical characteristics and maintainability, the dump truck continues to operate not only in industrial enterprises, but also in private households. The all-metal, durable body has extension sides and is released from the load by tipping on 3 sides.

A hydraulic cylinder is used as a lift. The power take-off drives a gear pump, which fills the system with oil through pipelines.

The GAZ-53 dump truck has a 2-seater all-metal cabin. Inside the cabin there are places to store tools and spare parts. The instrument panel does not contain an ammeter or oil pressure sensor. Instead, there are signal lamps. The passport number is located on the lower flange of the right side of the cab. The gasoline tank is located under the driver's seat, and the filler tank is located behind the cab, near the door.

Engine

The dump truck was equipped with different types of engines. At the initial stage, a GAZ-11 engine with 6 cylinders and a power of 82 hp was used. With. with 4-level transmission. The vehicle reached speeds of up to 75 km/h and had a load capacity of 3.5 tons. Fuel consumption per 100 km reached 22-25 liters. After modernization, a ZMZ-53 unit with 115 liters was installed. With. Consumption of A-76 gasoline remained unchanged.

To increase the power performance, the 53-12 chassis was equipped with a 4-stroke V-shaped carburetor gasoline unit from the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant ZMZ-511.10.

1. Number of cylinders - 8.
2. Working volume - 4.25 l.
3. The cylinder diameter is 92 mm.
4. Piston stroke - 80 mm.
5. The operating order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8.
6. Rated power - 88.5 liters. With.
7. Engine oil pressure is 250 kPa.
8. The fuel consumption rate of the GAZ-53 is 19.6 l/100 km.

Carburetor

The design of the K-135 carburetor differs from the previous version of the K-126B in adjustment parameters. The mechanism has a downdraft flow, opening throttle valves and a balanced float-type chamber.

The principle of operation of the carburetor is as follows. From each chamber the mixture passes through an intake pipe to the cylinders. The chamber on the left supplies fuel to cylinders 5, 6, 7 and 8, on the right - to cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4.

With your own hands

Dump trucks GAZ 53 is not a vehicle from the “premium” series, it is a hard worker and is intended for transporting goods. Therefore, tuning is mainly aimed at improving its technical characteristics, and not at its spectacular appearance. The owners of such cars are unlikely to contact auto centers and try to do all the work themselves.

The production and sale of the new GAZ-53 truck ceased in 1993. But this car entered the hearts of our citizens so deeply that we wanted this production not to stop, and every year more and more advanced modifications of the GAZ-53 came off the assembly line. But this is already from the category of fantasy.

Therefore, there is only one option left to improve our favorite, namely, tuning the cabin or interior of the GAZ-53.

How exactly you will do this is up to you, the main thing is that the end result is not a painted parrot, because mocking a people’s favorite like that would be to your detriment, but something truly fascinating.

For example, take one well-known transmission, where a real hummer was made from a GAZ-53, with huge ground clearance, two axles, four doors instead of two, with a more advanced suspension, a body made in the American style and much more. Americans would definitely envy our GAZ-53 Hummer.

Engine

First of all, GAZ tuning is aimed at improving the power unit. If the “original” motor becomes unusable, it does not always make sense to repair it. A good alternative replacement option is diesel with its undeniable advantages:

• Low fuel consumption gas 53;
• Long service life; during normal operation, a diesel engine runs 400 and 500 thousand km before major repairs;
• Easy to maintain, you only need to change filters and oil on time. The motor does not need diagnostics to identify faulty spark plugs, I/O wires, switch and distributor;
• High efficiency.

The most popular for the “fifty-third” was the engine of the Minsk Motor Plant D-245 (D-240, D-243). The motor has a simple design and reasonable price. In addition, there are not so many improvements during reinstallation.

The process of installing the D-245 engine on a GAZ 53 truck

• Digest on the mounting frame;
• Replace the fuel tank;
• Replace and modernize the exhaust system;
• Make changes to the electrical wiring;
• Make an adapter and modify the driveshaft.

It is possible to install a foreign-made engine, for example, from Mercedes. The four-liter “German” is even more economical than the Belarusian MTZ, its consumption does not exceed 15 liters per 100 km.

Cabin and salon

The GAZ 53 cabin is made of good thick metal, but over time any metal structure rusts. It has to be welded and repainted. The cabin cannot always be repaired; often its wings, bottom and running boards rot. Many owners of “53s” install the cabin from the GAZ 3307 model, and it fits with virtually no modifications.

Maintenance and repair

Due to long-term use, wear and depreciation of parts, the truck may fail and require restoration measures. Repair work is carried out at a service station or independently if you have knowledge of the mechanics and kinematics of trucks, as well as in accordance with the operating manual.

Engine malfunctions and repairs

Routine repair of the GAZ-53 engine is carried out for the following malfunctions:

• knocking in the engine;
• reduced compression in the cylinders;
• malfunction of one of the cylinders (motor trouble);
• water pump noise;
• coolant leak from the control hole;
• rapid overheating of the unit;
• increased oil consumption;
• low or high oil pressure.

Overhaul of the engine is carried out at the end of its service life or wear of parts. The overhaul includes:

• boring the crankshaft to fit the dimensions of the liners;
• replacement of worn-out spare parts;
• grinding and grinding of valves;
• inspection of the cam camshaft, connecting rod and piston group, gear connection of the oil pump, clutch disc.

The service life of the motor depends on the quality of the parts being repaired and the correct running-in of the rubbing surfaces.

Pump repair

Repair of the GAZ-53 pump is performed if the following symptoms are present:

• coolant leaking through the water pump impeller seal;
• large shaft play in bearings;
• boiling of liquid when the engine is running for a short time.

Malfunctions are eliminated by replacing the sealing washer, oil seal seals and roller bearing.

Adjustment of valves

Adjustment of the GAZ-53 valves is carried out when fuel consumption increases, engine speed decreases and characteristic noise is detected in the carburetor and exhaust pipe. As the load increases, the clearance on the camshaft valve becomes larger. To adjust the valves, you need to pull the piston of the first cylinder to top dead center (TDC) using a gear pointer. The recommended gap is 0.25-0.3 mm. The process is carried out using an adjusting screw and a 0.25 mm probe.

Carburetor adjustment

Adjusting the carburetor on your own consists of measuring and checking the gaps between the throttle and air dampers and their bodies, low crankshaft speed when the engine is idling, and adjusting the opening angle of the throttle valve with the air damper completely closed.

How to set the ignition

Unstable operation of the ignition system leads to such malfunctions as:

1. The coil is heating up.
2. Breakdown in high voltage cables.
3. Burnt cover on the transfer case.
4. Shot of candles.

If popping sounds appear in the intake manifold, it is necessary to set the ignition to GAS according to the marks. Instructions for installing the ignition on a GAZ-53 look like this:

1. The piston in cylinder 1 is installed at TDC and the marks are aligned.
2. The crankshaft is turned counterclockwise until the “9” mark on the indicator aligns with the line on the pulley.
3. Unscrew the bolt of the upper element of the manifold.
4. Connect the first control cable to the body, the second to the breaker.
5. Turn on the ignition.
6. The breaker is turned until the contacts open.
7. Tighten the mounting bolt, install the cover and rotor.
8. On the opposite side, the spark plug on cylinder 1 is connected to a high voltage cable, the remaining wires are connected according to the diagram 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8.
