    sandy killed my truck help

    This is how the starter motor and solenoid are wired. Should give you the info you need for testing and note that the solenoid is activated before the motor.

    Where is the "Activity stream" from a week or so ago, don't seem to be able to find it. Good to see what everybody is doing instead of looking at particular categories and miss 90% of the action (activities). There is a good chance that it's still here, just have learn to get around the site...

    My first M35A2 filter change

    When installing the oil filter canisters, do not twist, just seat firmly and torque to 60 ft-lb (overtightening can loosen threaded inserts).

    fuel fired heater parts!!

    The control boxes are generally shown with a wiring error, it should be as corrected in the diagram below. It doesn't matter if the control box is used for the coolant heater or personnel heater, the correction applies to both.

    fuel fired heater parts!!

    This is the wiring diagram for it as it's hooked up complete with control box and fuel pump (as used in the XM757). If the resolution isn't good enough, send me your email addy and I'll get a full size scan to you.

    Snow/ice chains for m-35 w 9x20 ndcc tread

    Love tire chains. If you can't find them for your tires, make your own. The chains for the 8x8 were made from 1100-20 tire chains...

    Off Grid, alternate approach

    Search for BB600 cells, they are used to "build" the batteries. Don't know any particular source, but popular with people making electric car conversions... This handbook is a "must have" IMHO.

    Off Grid, alternate approach

    Like any other battery, you can stack them in parallel and or in series for any voltage and amp-hr capacity. The 38 cells that I have provides a total capacity 60 AH at 24 VDC nominal. The starter battery has a 30AH capacity and has been plenty so far for the LDS465-2 engine. Accessories, like...

    M52A2 and XM757 side by side

    The tires are marked 16-20 and are actually 16/70-20 by size (or 405/70-20 by metric standards).

    M52A2 and XM757 side by side

    I don't, wish I could find a few more, would be nice to have all tires the same brand for example. There was even a radial version on the truck made by Uniroyal, the others are made by Goodyear and Goodrich, some retreads some not. The Goodyear ones are the ones that have survived in best...
