You may be able to guesstimate the charging ability by looking at the solar cell capacity. To restore charge in a reasonable time may require 20 to 50 Watts. I'd say a minimum panel size for charging would be about one foot square...

There are numerous articles in the PS magazines over the years about the grounding of the oil pressure gauge, in particular (example shown in image #1). The Faria instruments were designed to simplify production, one coil vs two and a plastic body, molded for the components. However, there is...

There are many grades or qualities of bio fuels, some are acid, like used veggie oil, which can also damage metals in the long run. Veggie oil under heat and pressure will polymerize and create its own set of problems in the wrong places. IMHO, biofuels should only be used in very diluted...

I'm aware Gimp, just for future ref, I may need a reminder myself...just wait till you turn 65+....

Yes, I have been using a Racor primary fuel filter/water separator for the multifuel engine in my 8x8 for several years now. It's 30 micron and heated... It's nice to be able to drop a new cartridge in from the top when needed and the transparent housing shows what's trapped in it. This...

I should add that the "gas" pedal is linked to it via a spring and a few taps on the pedal may put it in "fuel' position and get you started.

The fuel cut-off lever is not physically attached to the cable that is operated from the dash. It only ends up pushing it into "cut-off" position and returns to "run" position by the internal IP mechanism. You may have to remove it and give it a good cleaning, so that it operates freely...

JFF, the two trucks compared. Note the spacing between tires.

Dave, about the tire description, the first number is the width (16 inches), the "/70" is the height as measured from rim expressed as a percentage of the width (in this case 70% or 11.2 inches and called the aspect ratio) and the "20" is the diameter of the wheel (rim). If there is no slash in...

Dave, the wheels use a split ring as shown in the images below. The original tire is a 16/70-20 (16 inches wide with a 70% aspect ratio from actual measurements) to use commercial nomenclature. Anything larger in diameter will create problems with articulation and possibly steering. Weren't...

Hard starting is also caused by low compression, had to replace one really bad cylinder on mine.

The m656/xm757 12-inch wide wheels are made for tubeless tires, unless you are using tires that won't fit properly. (Yes, it's the under carriage of that series trucks, if not mentioned B4). Congrats on your progress.

Welcome to the site, Sinkaferd. How easily does your engine start? The oil pressure switch is also bypassed during "start", but may be questionable and cause the shut-down a little later later. I had fuel problems on mine, fuel pump and carb...

The compressor on the m656/xm757 series trucks (1969) takes air from the filtered side of the engine air filter..from factory, no mod.

You are welcome. To do any good, you also need pressurization for it, about 3 psi...

Here you go Ron. It's for the M543, though, don't know about the M809 series.

FWIW, this is probably what Kenny is referring to...mostly gone now, over the years the bio fuel systems have been removed.

Here you go...

Do you have the TM that shows the generator head wiring? For the mep018 it's as shown below and the individual coils can be checked for continuity. I burned up the head on mine by running an unbalanced load for a period of time. It may have happened to yours too. The windings are accessible at...
