The one you have shown is a brushless style. I forget exactly the nomenclature for it, but I had one for a brief minute that I bought from a forum member, and due to the large pulley and the brushless design, it would not charge below about 900 engine rpm if I am remembering correctly. That was...

I sent you a PM with contact info. We'll see if we can make something work.

Chances of finding one of the 0.69 ratio OD kits unused at this point are near zero. I think it was less than 100 kits made to begin with, by another member here, and the last time someone placed an ad asking for one it went unanswered. You could try though. Yes the shorter length of the 5.9...

Since you brought up using a different transmission, just know that it seems to be one of the more aggravating parts of the swap. If you're planning on using the NV4500 from a dodge truck, I think they are rated a bit lower than the spicer 3053a that is in a stock m35a2 but they aren't much...

Youtube user Tactical Repair (also a member here) did a 5.9 12 valve swap and documented the results in one of his videos after a pretty lengthy first trip. I think he has had a few minor-ish issues but you can watch and form your own opinion. He has lots of videos from during and after the upgrade.

It looks like the same one I got. If it is, the 939 strainer ID is too small and it won't thread down into it. I think the tank neck itself would fit the cap directly without the strainer in place at all though. I went the route of removing the screen from the strainer, turning the metal body at...

I'd like a chance to win some batteries, please!

Jbulach is right. SCA additive at the right level added to the standard green coolant (and confirmed regularly with test strips or other means) will prevent liner cavitation. Unless you have changed your head gasket on your 6CTA out for the Dana graphite style, you have the Fel Pro kind with...

I got another chance to work on the generator yesterday. At the IP rebuilder's advice, I tried adjusting the droop screw, but it still wasn't acting like it should. It would bring the engine speed back up, but when I opened the circuit breaker, it would jump up above 62 Hz. He had given me...

When I took it to the shop, I told him that it was a military MEP-006A generator, which he wrote on the ticket. He's done military stuff before so I would have thought he had what he needed to get the right specs. When I got it back he even had put a new coat of CARC on it, which I wasn't...

I have worked on this set again a couple times in the last month. I followed all the above advice and came to the conclusion that the injection pump had issues inside and needed to come out. So I did, took it to a reputable local shop and had it rebuilt. He said it had lots of crud in it and the...

Prior to about 2014, the "Aircraft Remover" brand paint remover available at parts stores would remove CARC reasonably easy. But then the EPA got involved due to VOC content and the formulation got changed, at least for the version that was available for sale in Indiana. What is in the can now...

Are you sure that's a deuce? Looks like a 5 ton to me. If it is indeed a 5 ton, what I've read is that it won't work on a 2.5 ton without significant suspension lift - too narrow of an axle so when turning the pitman arm / drag link hits the tire.

I wanted to give a warning to the forum based on a parts purchase I attempted recently. I had done some tire work on my 923A2 and ended up needing to replace a stud that stripped out. This was one of the 3/4-16 studs on the 939A2 combat wheels specifically. I found a seller on ebay that had...
