TehTDK, two principle articles have been published in the past in Military vehicles Magazine written by yours truly. They contain references to other articles with related projects such as the crankcase ventilation filter. Check out issues #93 (Oct 2002) and issue #107 (Feb 2005). My system was...

Ford more or less did it for the 1969 m656/xm757 trucks. Examples of the extensive pressurization shown below, which included the sealed brake drums, transfer case, transmission, engine, even door seals and more. The brake drums were fitted with inspection holes to determine if any maintenance...

Started the xm757 for the 97th time this morning on the NiCd start battery, 256 times total since getting the truck home. Who else keeps tab on this kind of thing?

Yes, the coolant enters at the top of the core (short tube).

The m656/xm757 trucks have rear mounted air intakes and no problems related to the location of it.

Don't know anything about that, I'd bench test the units under ideal conditions before installing, if it was me. Plastic tail light housings may need more than one terminal grounded (mounting screw).

Most if not all my stuff is vintage, ca 1969. The heater is a Benmar.

Tested my heater the other day and was reminded of how long it takes to get them started. It was the first time in about 18 months and it took exactly 4 (four) minutes before it was running on its own.

Actually, higher resistance will reduce the current, but increase the voltage drop across the junction and leave little or no voltage across the light filament (=make it dim). Most LED lights have built-in voltage regulators but will "blow" if the voltage is to high.

The rating of the light switch CB is 20 amps. Do the smart thing and separate the headlight circuit from the rest of the lights. It is not fun when it happens at night.

Hmm..it didn't come like this. I added a "mini" dash for egt, boost, transmission temp and extra dash illumination. Dome lights were also added... Fuel tank selector switch for fuel return... It did come with overhead heater controls. I added overhead clock and temperature monitoring...

Ryan, here you go. This is from the deuce and shows the EGT/ Boost pod.

Hewitt Industries.

If you are going to use the valve in its intended application, keep in mind that it must vent when turned "off" (the air pressure to the front drive engagement mechanism must be released)...

Go ogling, lots of them out there. Good idea, though.

Hardly related facts, brake fluid and no-spin differentials (on the same sticker).

The MS24537-1 sending unit works with the 120 to 240 AND the 160 to 320 range gauges.

To solve the problem with poor flasher performance, leaky or sensitive to overloads, I wired in an electromechanical relay to handle the switching. Did this years ago and have since never had a problem with the flasher. On the 8x8, I installed heavy duty relays, which also lets you hear them...

What about your pilot light by the steering wheel, does it flash normally?

Google "load dump" and learn. This is from one of my old General Glectric Metal Oxide Varistor manuals, it's dated 1976, so there is nothing new about it. The regulator often fails due these transients, so never remove the connections to the batteries when the engine is running. I don't think...
