for potable water it will have to meet food safety standards. your fuel tanker wont because all plumbing also has to meet standard's for food service, so plan on replacing the internal valves with something different, all hoses reels and pumps with new ss hardware, and lastly if you have ever...
if you have a block heater installed in your freeze plug that will work fine leave it plugged in it all the time it will work like a hotstart.
I did a few of the espbacher winterization kit installs they worked real nice but they are expensive.
you don't have to you just hook in series, the 12 volt lead goes to the 12 v positive post, and 24 volt to the to the second battery. it really simplifies wiring. The only problem I have right now is clearance in the cover, I think I can resolved, once I get the wires warmed up and laid down...
I just replaced mine with 2 8-d batterys the tray does have to be modified and the 8-ds are a little wider. My cover wont fit down over they battery's right, I think a little heat in the box and I can get the wires to lay right, but at - 25 have fun trying to get those wires to flex. New...
I work in the industrial equipment world there is no other cap like that, in korea cucv's had padalock hasps added to the fuel doors to secure the fuel caps
We run synthetic aw 32 hydraulic oil up here with great success. that would be the way to go in my opinion, be advised it will be expensive but most synthetics are also environmentally friendly. Chevron clarity is what we use both environmentally friendly and flows good at cold temps. amz oil...
I haven't looked to see what they are selling for lately, but I spent less on my lmtv out of auction than I did shipping it here. The guys flipping military vehicles and snow cats are enjoying good times this year, because of recent weather events those items are in demand and prices are up. I...
1 is operators level 2 is unit level support 3 is general support and 4 is depo level. you take a manual that says xxxx-xxx-24 that book will cover every thing from unit level maintenance to depo level a standard xxxx-xxx- 20 is only unit level support. A lot of generators and small equipment...
every mechanical rig has its problems. I love the duce, I had been in one since my first permanent party assignment in korea. after my tour in Iraq and dealing with airforce drivers who had no idea how to drive a commercial vehicle with a clutch I started to hate them. The 5 tons had their own...
they are continuous duty solenoids the trick would be to get a 24 volt marine type that would be somewhat water proof. do not use a starter solenoid they aren't intended for continuous use.
Crowley marine had a few built by whittenberg up here with a single operator cab on them, looked like the cab was a ccc cab. The others I have seen was whitenberg tops with an integrated windshield frame.
I have an 89 dodge pickup and there is no more electronics in it than that truck except for the transmission. The transmission by the way is one of the most reliable electronic controlled items I have ever seen. Aside from some wiring failures I saw in Iraq related to the extreme heat, I manage...
I live out in bush Alaska in a mining community military trucks are still popular up here the simplicity and capability of all wheel drive. im sorry to say when they have a major malfunction what ever engine they find laying around gets shoe horned in i've seen everything from small block chevys...
Sounds like a bad thermostat or incomplete combustion from slow timing. Napa makes a 205 degree thermostat put one of those in and your heater will crank.
As stated get the tow bar, and have a buddy with an end dump flat tow it for you. However if you blow a tire, have a bearing failure or something that keeps the wheels from turning you are going to have to bite the bullet and get it lift towed. The other possibility is convince the lady that...
Yes every one makes an occasional mistake, and I like the agm battery's, but like your military equipment they need to be used and maintained properly or they wont last. Where your battery heater will help is getting max voltage out of your battery, cold weather can de rate a battery severely...
