Funny, the 3-lever switch can easily be operated without looking at it, as in blindfolded. Little hard, I imagine to operate the push button switch without glancing at it, at least. Try to flash your headlights with it while in traffic without taking your eyes off the road...just the flick of a...

I have come to the conclusion that fresh veggie oil (not WVO) used in a mix with diesel or kerosene is the way to go. Skip all that biodiesel processing... there isn't enough for everybody anyway. Heated fuel tank, lines and filters will improve the cold weather performance when a greater...

See Duncan, I'm not the only one checking out the little stuff. :-)

Neoprene type: CAT AIRCRAFT DUCTING from Aircraft Spruce

Most of us may want to adhere to the "Military Vehicle Preservation" concept, although I have personally posted a number of engineering solutions to "problems". I draw a line when it comes to posting solutions that may be patentable and some "conceptual" ideas and their solutions fall into that...

How about the M59 APC..... (Full article in the PS magazine section)

Crimping that edge back on would be the biggest roadblock for most of us, IMHO.

What's the SAE document number(s)? They should be for sale to members (with a discount) and non-members for about $20....

Referring back to the old PS mags, here is what they say about max rpm for the multifuels when they were new to the service in 1967:

Welcome to the site and thanks for your post! FWIW, the ground connection on the steering column is only for the indicator light on the switch...

If going for a sub, the starter relay rating should be at least 50 amps.

You may have a problem with the IP O-rings... Also, do a visual on the FDC bypass to confirm.

Some ideas are not well suited to be discussed on an open forum IMHO...don't expect many new engineering solutions to pop up. :-) Firstly, do a patent search.

The TM makes it look easy. :-) I have used the crane outriggers for this, but worried about potential damage to the area beyond the bead. I'll use proper tire irons next time. It's amazing how tough tires are...

Yes, that's what I did that one time, sacrificed an earphone and connected the wires to the "Audio" input terminals. About the terminals, push down on them to open and insert the wire.

The original horn button assy is one of the least mil-spec items on the truck IMHO and the new sealed version should easily be the kit of choice here. Images attached, you'll have to decide how to proceed...

Looks like you have been reading my posts Kenny. :-) Yes, the m656 (xm757 and xm791) trucks had tires especially designed for them, tubeless, low profile (70% aspect ratio), low pressure NDCC's. The military designation was 16-20, but are in reality 16/70-20 (or 16/70R20 for the radials, which...

If the fuse holder gets hot, then your fuse contact areas probably aren't clean. Any resistance will cause a voltage drop and a consequent temperature rise...

It's not necessarily the actual weight, but how the weight is distributed on the axles the way I understand it. My 8-1/2 ton xm757 8x8 has an empty classification of "7". This PS mag article has other references: Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite
