Hi group, This C.J Baker article covers a lot.Gale Banks has been at this a long time. http://bankspower.com/Tech_whyegt.cfm JimK

Electric winch will be easier to use than a PTO driven one .Does it come with a remote?. Electrical load not much different than your starter.With engine running the bats will hold up .I'd suggest using arc welding cable.It's fine stands allow for tight bends and the insulation is quite...

Hi Mike,Doc The 361 is a standard Chyrsler B block.Same as the 383/400 big block .It is similar to the RB's(Raised B-has bigger main's and stroked crank) like the 413/426/440 .Yes ,the legendary 426 is the old RB with some Hemi Heads. The V's 361 has some special features, like waterproof...

Using N2O in the GTO. Works great but expensive. Costs $1 per second to use. 10lb bottle lasts only 30-45sec. Cheaper when bought in big cyl.Hassle to change bottles,re-fill them,and there not much good when empty...Try more boost or an intercooler. JimK

RE: Re: RE: post turbo? I found a cutting fluid table. http://www.natool.com/engdata/data15.php Probe at end of manifold will give temp of one cylinder.That info is better than no info.Best to get a overall reading near turbo.That way you will avoid getting misled if an injector acts up.I...

RE: Re: RE: post turbo? I thought cast iron was the only metal that didn't need cutting lube .Something about the graphite in it.That was from High School metal shop 25 years ago, i think, so you might want to research and if necessary correct me.JimK

Ken, First I should clarify . 'Mine' means an assigned company single axle tractor.Every few years I get a new one. R's then ,U's, CH's and now the 06' Vision.I often use ,even prefer,older equipment.Our oldest is about 11 years old,a good 25 years newer than My 3 Stooges. The data plate...

Easy - 4 engine WWII bombers. B17 - Flying Fortress B24 - Liberator B29 - Superfortress Avro Lancaster Short Sterling Handley Page Halifax Arado AR 234 C(prototype) others? Technologies developed or advanced with these:Long range,high speed,high altitude,armor,offensive weapon...

I think there are 3 types of oil: Mineral oil - from drilled wells Vegetable oil - from plants Synthetic oil - manufactured chemically. Mineral oil is a very general term.It is Crude oil ,and it is the middle section crude oil . Refectory towers separate crude into various products by their...

Mike,Thanks Djfreema ,I Don't know any details.I assumed that was just air.There is dust ,no smoke. Group,There are some risks with non-split rim wheels too.Any unexpected rim or sidewall failure can be very nasty.Alloy rims probably higher risk than steel.Higher pressures mean exponetially...

I have a video of a guy taking a high power rifle shot at a split rim tire.It shows how fast that piece of metal can movel.I'll see if I can download it to the video section now.It is 2PM. JimK

Slow idle speed best till oil pressure is up. Maybe 15 seconds. Anytime the period longer is longer than a minute or two and the idle speed should be raised with the hand throttle to 1000rpm-1200rpm. This is because the cylinder walls and camshaft are lubricated only by splash and thrown...

My new Commercial Mack Vision (EM7-315 - I think) has a big clutch fan(something new for 06').Climbing hills it always come on at speed.At high RPM(1700) the HP drain is incredible.Much less at lower speeds,(1200rpm).It can slows the rig down 5MPH.Probably 20-40HP.Under no load it acts like a...

Hi Lee H. I have a non-whistler and associated plumbing.I wanted to look at a NAPA 21470 muffler today.Might have to wait till tomorrow .I Saw that Mod. here and really like it.I seems like a waste of time to try and tune pump/deal with smoking beforehand .These LD's were "supposed" to be...

Hi David D.,Ken and group, My fuel economy could be better.Remember I'm pulling 13T(Stalwart).5MPG was on 600 mile road trip for M706(10T/3T empty).Might be the pump.Runs fine and clean up to the point of max output.Any additional throttle causes the smoke.That point varies with speed.The...

Recon, The wheel removal requirement is to check for brake lining thickness.With cars(disk brakes) the thickness can be checked with the wheel on.The M35A2 drums all have an inspection hole.My inspector did not bother.I would have preferred ,and asked for,a complete thorough inspection(New...

Hi Group, Just some conjecture. I think the multi -fuel engine design is terribly inefficient especially when compared to modern commercial diesels.Perhaps the choice was made to accept smoke and poor fuel economy for the tactical advantage of using anything that resembles fuel. My LD465 C1 is...

Readyman, Perhaps you could maintain u-joint phasing by welding up the area between one spline(s) .If you removed 2 splines in the collar (180* apart) it would re-engage only when correct.Getting it to re-engage on the fly may be problematic.Maybe bevel the ends. Phase vibrations should be...

Turbochargers need a large straight shot out of the exhaust housing(well sort of anyways).The gasses need to tumble around for a bit.The further away from the hot turbine the cooler the exhaust gasses become.As the gas cools it contracts.The pipe diameter,usually being the same I.D. becomes...
