    M35A3 Allison 653 - has anyone done it?

    I don't think It could be done with out making the frame wider. the down side of a 540 is you are still going to be at about max torque of what that trans was designed to take .

    Smoky start up

    cold start advance not working will cause lots of blue smoke ,also if the timing is a little off it will also smoke. You can't rely on the index marks to time it, that usually gets you in the ball park. I like running them a little advanced any way it gets you better throttle response and a...

    SouthWind 939J24 Coolant Heaters

    The reason propane is used so much is its an extremely safe gas. Propane has a very narrow window that it will actually burn in. just because you can smell it doesn't mean there is a explosive hazard, as a fuel truck mechanic I work in vapor clouds all the time my big fear isn't the cloud going...

    SouthWind 939J24 Coolant Heaters

    in the ak ntional guard we wound up pulling them and tossing them in a pile, we found the swingfire system to be much more reliable.

    proper fish plating at the end of an lmtv frame would be near impossible one thing I aim to do but haven't yet is to build a link to go between the old pintle mount and the new one I added to my frame extenion
