    Adding a pony motor to a M936

    I wonder if a good DC welder like a mig welder that has settings for up to 24 volts would run a DC motor within its duty cycle time. Maybe start and stop the motor with a contactor to keep the welder fan running to cool the transformer.

    Is the CTIS a deal breaker?

    roflroflroflroflroflrofl I perused the TMs for the 5 ton and the M35A3. I figure that I will keep the systems operable. I'm hoping McmasterCarr can supply the square section seals for the M35A3 and I don't know about the 5 ton yet. I don't think the CTIS should be a deal breaker. just...

    I heard the term "cold lock" on the old generation diesel engines that are set out to idle in the cold and the fuel builds up and the engine locks up with results such as bent rods. Have you heard of or seen this condition?

    Do you do these for customers? Such as R & R the tranny and such. Does the NP 205 fit on the 700r4? Is the NP 208 difficult to overhaul?

    CTIS retrofit

    Your idea is destined to failure. Go ahead and waste your time, the beer manufactures thrive in garage engineering. The CTIS is designed for pulsing the system to make it air up and otherwise control the tire pressure. As previously stated the system is not designed to hold a continuous pressure...

    Front tire blow out going 55 MPH on the freeway

    Thankyou for posting this video. The accelerator application seems counter intuitive but the video demonstrates good practice. I have only experienced losing a left front steer on a 1 ton Dodge pickup with a diesel, the pucker factor was indeed there. A quick counter steer and a nearly complete...

    no start after 3 month sit

    If you have no clicking noise, the signal is not getting to the solenoid on the starter. On the CUCV, that signal is generated from a relay referred to in the "doghead modification". Do a search to familiarize yourself with the "doghead modification" You could jump the starter terminals to make...
