    24v ignition coil

    My thoughts on this I was looking for a 24v coil for Swisses m62, the original died (broken winding), I put a nos one on, it died about 6 months, so went looking for a NEW 24v coil, I found out after talking to about 1/2 dozen people into the know including Delco that new 24v coils are not made...

    Middle axle only use in rear

    The power divider drives the rear axle (#3), if there is a issue with the real axle, the power divider needs to be engaged to drive the middle axle (#2), it will NOT hurt the power divider to be run engaged , need air to engage, no air, it drops out, as far as pressure goes just the standard...

    Confirmed- Tuff Stuff D-Ring Fits

    Just so you KNOW, the top picture IS a THREADED PIN SHACKLE, NOT a D-ring, as used on military vehicles, it is called a front or rear LIFT SHACKLE, the reason for calling it a front or rear lift shackle is because some fronts and rears are different. It helps to call a part by the right name.

    M1070 winch line adapter

    A D-link with a short heavy piece chain with a hook. When I built BART (a m1070 converted to a wrecker), I found two setups like this, both were 3/4, one had a grab hook, the other had a slip hook , this solved the lack of the needed hook issue for the three winches (one added in the rear )...

    Diagnosing hub problem

    IF it was a hub bearing, you WOULD hear the noise all the time when the wheel rotated, not only when the hubs are engaged. I WOULD look at the front 3rd member because it ONLY rotates when engaged (noise IS with engagement only)

    Banged up just a little

    The driver CAN read, just does NOT how high his high point is, If I was his/her first sgt. that would be the LAST truck that driver drives, maybe cleaning out houses till the tour is up.

    Machine cooling and cutting oils can these be used with proper filtration?

    I would not use ANY used cutting oil because as much as can be filtered ,there STILL will be tiny bits of metal in the oil, these bits WILL eat a IP up, the fine, fine, fine bits will act like emery cloth. If you get a high tec filter to pull the fine bits out of the oil, the cost will eat your...

    Electric Horn Location?

    Yes most states require electric horns, the rationale behind this is that air may go away so no warning horn where a electric horn only needs a electric source to be active, I know this is not very realistic being that if air goes away, the truck is not going anywhere so a warning horn is not...
