    TM 9-2320-230-20P Anyone ? Filter NO.

    Try Hastings LF634, the image is close to what mine looks like, but dimensions seem out of proportion. Hastings LF634 Oil Filters (LF Prefix): Mobile Auto Part Details at Woody's Auto Supply The number comes from the element in my PS reservoir.

    Flasher Problem

    Reads like a faulty flasher unit. Like Gimpy says, try a different unit.

    replacing ferrule on injection lines?

    The steel ferrule gets impressed into the steel line and the line would have to be cut for sure if it had to be replaced. About equal length fuel lines, it seems to me that the only time it would have an effect on the timing is if the lines are empty, a short tube will deliver the fuel quicker...

    New Dash Lights

    It's always good to have options in case one fails.

    XM757 8x8 cab lift

    Proceeded with the preparations for replacing the failed gasket on the oil filter bracket today. Whoever worked on it before left part of the old gasket in, which may have caused the leak. BTW, the bracket for the -2 engine is made of aluminum and weighs only 15 lb while the other multifuel...

    LED interior lighting?

    The LED strip draws less than 1/10 of an amp total. I wouldn't worry about unbalancing the battery load at this. However, it's always a good idea to charge each battery separately after a drive to get them back to near equal condition, which is what you want when using them in series for...

    LED interior lighting?

    Thanks! And correct on the wiring of the pot. Can be installed anywhere you need illumination and have 12VDC handy. http://dealnay.com/764744/pilot-lights-white-color-led-light-strips-auto-airplane-aircraft-rv-boat-interior-cabin-cockpit-led-lighting.html

    LED interior lighting?

    If you right click on the image and "Open link in new window", you get the needed res. If not, here is a close-up. Without a dimmer, they are very bright...dim to barely visible.

    LED interior lighting?

    Have a strip with about 45 red LEDs already assembled for 12 VDC. Used it for dash illumination experiments. Still in good working condition. Made for aircraft use. Strip is about 36 inches long. Yours for $20, shipping included...

    Fuel Tank & Battery relocation ideas?

    Welcome to the site Fantastico, you sent me a PM some time ago, which I didn't respond to, just forgot, I guess. You are welcome to stop by, of course, and I have trucks here with dual tanks and two with batteries in the cab (M37 and the xm757). Batteries only give off H2 when over charging. The...

    XM757 8x8 cab lift

    If Clinto can manage to keep his rally going a few more years, I'll be there, but not in 2010. Since retiring a couple of years ago, money has been in short supply and it seem like everything is getting more expensive. Got lots of little projects to juggle, want to make it possible to power the...

    XM757 8x8 cab lift

    Right, the gasket leak has bugged me for some time. It's the oil canister bracket-to-block gasket. No way to work on it with the cab mounted. I also want to check the IP again, a couple of times the fuel supply has been limited as if the stop block got hung up or something. Fuel rod or FDC...

    XM757 8x8 cab lift

    More images. The boom was extended 20 Ft for the lift and I'd guesstimate the weight of the cab to be about 2,500 lb by the "feel" of it (the way the engine was loaded down), which is max for that reach.

    XM757 8x8 cab lift

    To fix a leaky gasket on the engine, the cab must be lifted off the truck. It took about six hours to disconnect everything, including winch controls, electrical, air and fuel lines and linkages plus the extras added by yours truly. Not sure how I would have done it without the HIAB, but the...

    No juice

    The voltage regulator has nothing to do with the "Protective control box". Looking at the 211-20 TMs, I can't find any reference to this control box on your truck. If it doesn't have one, then the trouble shooting is more straight forward, just the basic battery, starter, solenoid relay, starter...

    deuce ip problems

    The "search" feature on the site is poor IMHO. If you want results, go to Google and type in keywords (within quotation marks, which is ignored on this site) and add "steelsoldiers" as one keyword. You'll get lots of hits with links to this site for "injection pump" "timing" etc. The TM section...

    XM757 8x8 off road images

    The muffler is military issue for this vehicle. What I'm saying is that the turbo spooled up faster without it for a quicker response when hitting the "gas" pedal. Don't know about power loss in general. Installed a pressure gauge yesterday just before the muffler, but had some throttle linkage...

    Like this, although the Atomic Annie is a cannon... As you know, the xm757 was used with Pershing 1A.
