    M923A2 Solargizer hook up to 4x 6TMF

    The military just uses one Solargizer on the trucks I have seen. Just hook the black wire to the chassis ground and the red to the 24v hot going to the engine. The Solargizers are basically the same, just some have bigger solar panels and work faster than the older ones. thanks, Paul

    Multifuel Automatic Transmisson?

    Correct me if wrong. I needed a AT1545 for a customers M35a3 and thought about using an AT 545 from a Chev school bus with a 366 v-8 in it. I found out that it would not have shifted because the shift points for a gas v-8 would be so high that the diesel would never rev high enough to get it to...

    Runaway multifuel 6/20/14

    M1009 needing a new engine?

    Wondering if its low compression from lots and lots of no start cranking and lots of ether or some other home remedy to try to get it to fire. I would most definetly add some oil to the cylinders and do another compression check. Not too much oil tho. Might be a very cheap fix. Diesels that are...

    Schutt Industries 1CSL0-SLC-T-1000 Self Loading Trailer

    I believe one can mount the 3 lights in the center of the rear cross member, in between the taillights and rollers and they will be sufficiently protected. I unhooked one of my front latch switch plug in connectors and the bed works great. Wow it literally jumps up. Must have a reduced size...
