Holy, what a great AGM reconditioner charger, disulfate..in 2 days, it took 2 flat odyssey 2250's and brought them back to life.. going to run it through repair after I restart the 3rd..Wow,
That's a pretty good endorsement.

I'm "bookmarking" this item (reasonable price +/-, too), for the day I might have a need for one.

Thanks, M1078MAN!

I would be very careful dealing with this domain!!!

If it is to good to be true, than it usually is.

Check out the website before you purchase through them.

Several scam detecting websites give it an moderate to poor rating.

Just my two cents.

Might want to look into that site before ordering. It's throwing red flags as being a scam site at every level.


  • Website registration: On 18th April 2022, the Glanto shop was registered.
  • Registrar: GoDaddy.com LLC was the registrar of the Glanto shop.
  • Trust score: Glanto has a very poor trust score of 1%, which makes this website suspicious.
  • Data protection: Glanto has HTTPS protocol for safe data transfer
  • Social media account: Glanto shop is not available on any social media
  • Customer reviews: We could not find any Glanto Shop Reviews on the shop’s official website. However, we found some online reviews where most people were unimpressed by the store’s services.
  • Privacy policy: The privacy policy is drafted on the official website, along with privacy policy, other policies like return policy, refund policy, and terms and conditions of the website.
  • Missing credentials: The phone number and the website’s social media accounts were not available on the shop’s official website. Other than that, all the data related to the website are available on the shop’s official website.

I should have scrolled down and read your post before I chimed in.

But yeah, it instantly flagged as suspicious when I saw it.

I DELETED THE LINK SO NO ONE GETS CHEATED !!! And back to the charger is a NOCO g7200 12/24 v charger /repair for AGM batteries for in the ball park of 90 bucks most of the time !

They are calling the g10 the replacement but it 6/12 and no 24v so go figure?


The beauty of the 24 is being able to clamp to your 24v hot post and it charges everything 24 in the battery tray without having to seperate all the batteries !

Until i hooked up my solar panels i let this thing be my maintainer for the truck when not in use !

Yeah, the 24v capable units are st00pid expensive now. Way cheaper to just get a 12v charger for each battery.

Not going to quote, but its easy to fall victim. The site was associated with this word "kennimathi"

I stumbled on a site that had the g26000 for a super low price. What hooked me, was the local address, i thought, I could just pick it up.

Hit the buy button, then immediately got an uneasy feeling when I didnt get an email with order info. Then the thought in the back of my mind, you should have checked it out first.

Sure enough, address came back to a parking lot, email undeliverable, phone disconnected, similar profile as posted above by Third From Texas. Called the bank and froze the transaction/card. i got lucky..

Long story short, its easy to miss the mark, even just a second or two.

Making a little more progress.. next is valve cover and rocker arm removal so I can get the cam and followers

View attachment 880393

Question, can I remove cam gear from camshaft to avoid having to remove camshaft and related followers/rockers

I see its a heated fit, so probably not, anyone know for sure

IMHO..... when one has questions that are more about the truck than the RV side.... suggest they be asked in the matching military SS truck forum where there are more gear heads. Also, and most importantly IMHO, it sorta compartmentalizes the information and helps others searching for stuff to answer their problems, easier to find.

Here's a link. You know, as soon as this goes on there may be a run on them. It's like when I purchased some from another website. After I purchased a few, I went back and they were out of stock. When they came back into stock they went up from $9.99 each to $14.99 each and still had the killer S&H.

If you need any, get them while you can, along with a few extras, I did.

Now the listing doesn't mention FMTV CTIS wheel valves. However, I can confirm 100% they are the exact diaphragm and fit the FMTV valves as I have used a couple in the valves, and it has the same product or model number.

Thanks for this link! I just bought 8 of these after finditparts canceled my order and these shipped fast! Can confirm as well these are perfect fit in LMTV wheel valves and the Harbor Freight red box of SAE o-rings has all the hose o-rings. easy/cheap rebuild!

Progress..upon closer inspection of the inner timing case..I have a crack all the way around the crank/front main..looks like I may have averted another bullet..I will try to get pictures

The circular crack (around the whole opening), is that what you're pointing out?

Is that repairable, or do you need a whole new casting?

Yes, there are also linier cracks from the center..i think this case is done, non repairable.. Thank fully I have a new case to install.. I might play around with the TIG, and see if welding on it is an option.

I am starting to put it back together with new CAT gaskets and seals

thats crazy......

Maybe fore you go much further put a "run out gauge" (think that is proper term/tool) on the block and dial it to your crank end. slowly turn it and see if it turns w/out micro wobble? Or maybe just to check if the end of the crank is not milled funky.... that is such a weird perfect circle crack.
