Manuacturing facilities can differ. A poorly managed work force or work enviroment can wreck the best designs. I am not impling that this was the case, but it is a factor. JimK

Swapping flashers should tell you if its a the flasher or chassis (flasher if the problem moves). If it's the chassis perhaps the voltage supply is down a volt due to connector/ ground corrosion(as westfolk points out)... Wires are already full of electrons. When a new electron arrives one has...

RE: c130 photo op The pictures are real, taken during the filming of a RAF promotional ad. the video(dead link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuisT_is4NA Did some looking, here is a similar U-tube with F-18's www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yLmyriJorM Some chatter on the Typhoon shoot...

The NAPA part is plated w/zink (or alum) --- Rustoleum BBQ black seems to last and is low cost. Eastwood's Stainless Steel Coating is good too. JimK

I have been thinking of getting something for dynamic display. it's hard to justify spending that much (for me anyways) for another big usless thing to put inside the garage, even if exciting as it looks. JimK ps there was a R2800 on e-bay as of Fri.

The v-100 uses a Ross system on the 'M35A2 type' front axle. It has some similarity to the 5T Ross system. The cylinder is shorter providing 4 inches of stroke (instead of 5T's eight inches). The movable end is mounted above the drag link with a 1-1/2" ball stud. The fixed end is hull mounted...

I run max output while towing the ~13 ton trailer, often for hours on end. Boost varies with rpm - higher rpm gets more boost(and lower egt, up to 13psi at 2600 w/ current higher settings on IP (though I do like to stay below 12psi/2500rpm). Temp gets high only at the low end of the operating...

The dual plane exhaust manifold was the primary reason I placed my single probe post turbo. I felt second hand info would be better than [the unlikely event] wrong info if something went wrong in IP system. There is good info available on both sides of the turbine. I think the swallowed probe...

c130 photo op real or fake? Pilot flies Up to back door of a C-130 for Photo Op. He radios, 'How much closer do you want me?'

The minimum temp. needed for diesel compression ignition is about 700*C(1300*F). Very cold engines can lose that heat to the cylinder walls, piston crown and chamber. If the loss is high enough the threshold may not be reached. If it isn't the engine cannot start. Aids include glow plugs...

I added a small mirror on the center frame (auto windshield type). Small, as it mounted low enough to see out the hard top window and down the road. I made the small bracket because those 'glue on mounts' were too hard to drill. JimK p.s. I have a late deuce w/o canvas.

Left - WWII Daimler-Benz DB 605, inverted V12, used in Messerschmitt Bf 109, Bf 110, Me210. Also a coupled pair became the DB 610 (an inverted W24?), used in the Heinkel He 177... Note the (Bf109 was equipped w/ 20mm cannon firing thru output shaft/spinner(in valley under the crankshaft)...

Brakes are not the problem. Power steering is a luxury for the fit. The only chips carry guns. JimK

The data plate on the 71' M35A2 (2 1/2 ton) allows for a 10,000lb towed load highway or a 6,000lb towed load cross country. This includes the weight of the empty trailer. Whatever's left is your 'legal' load capacity. It may be helpful to note the truck is also rated for 10,000 HW / 5,000 CC...

the C (whistler) turbine housing has a band clamp and a more pronounced scroll. Half of the compressor blades have angles in them. The D exhaust housing is wider and bolts on. Its compressor has smoohly curved blades .JimK

My LD (non-turbo) was weak and smoked. Adding the "D" turbo got some big power (15+psi and high egt). It cleaned up the smoke. The IP timing was changed to 20* BTD as per cranetrucks MilVehMag article. The IP fuel screw was reduced 1-1/3 turn to tame the EGT. New head gasket(before upgrade) was...
