Griff, the two connections on the bottom of the MSR represent "A" and "B" terminals in the diagram above. It is a contact and which wire is connected to which terminal doesn't matter, but one ("A", in the diagram) has 24 volts on it at all times from the battery and the other goes to the...

Good to see you adding instrumentation, Kenny. Don't compromise on the thermocouple probe selection, get the best, a failed one will ruin your turbo.

The original deuces (M135) had CV joints, the M35 use U-joints. You notice the "wobble" when turning the M35 with the front axle engaged. If you can find the CV-joints, they will fit in the M35 axle housings, but may need a different seal, that's all. When at Barstow, CA back in '06, there was a...

Consider using a "battery equalizer" instead of a DC-DC converter...will help maintain the batteries also.

Never bothered measuring the pressure, just pump it (insect sprayer version), perhaps ten times. It builds up pressure very fast...BTW, I also us it with kerosene for testing fuel burning heater valves and a few "pumps" get the pressure up to 8 psi in a hurry. I do use a pressure gauge to...

Try to save original markings like these...

Mangus580 (Mike) has the CUCV fuel burning heater, do a search and locate the thread. Here are a few images of it.

Rosco, how different are the sizes? Here are the pics from my 5-ton TM. The NSN for the flex hose is 2540-00-044-6674. Would love to have a look at your "nonfunctional" coolant heater, but realize that the shipping back and forth makes it academic...I'm slowly getting out of hibernation here...

This is what you should look for.

BTW, "sugga" generally means "pig" (sow) in Swedish...

Before dumping it, test the coolant to see if it can be reused. If it's clear green, use a test strip to confirm the concentration of glycol (freeze point) and acidity (pH). I use Cooltrak test strips. You can also send a sample to the same place that does your oil samples with a kit from NAPA.

Did you charge and check the "new" batteries before installing them? The only good way to test your batteries is to measure the specific gravity of all cells, as told over and over in the PS magazine articles over the years. Also, charge the batteries individually with 12-volt charger or...

Welcome to the site! Locate the TM 9-2320-386-20 manual for answers to your questions. Not familiar with the A3 truck circuitry...may already have LED turn signals..in any case the solid state flasher unit works for LEDs as well as incandescents.

Mike, the 24 volt feed from the battery is wire #10. It goes to the "horn" circuit breaker first and then on to the light switch (wire #11 and #15 now). The light switch or 3-lever switch has a built-in CB to protect from short circuits in any of the light circuits. If you want to tap in new...

In the process of resurrecting an SW heater and I would like to post my procedure for draining fuel from the combustion chamber here. If the unit doesn't ignite on time (after about a minute) and you continue to hold the start switch in "start", fuel will begin to build up at a rate of more than...

Did a bad thing, left a bucket of used antifreeze uncovered and lost two of our hens as a result.:-( They have a regular source for drinking water, but must have reached up and sipped some of the antifreeze, which I had temporarily placed below the bumper of the M43. The chickens had first...

All I did was to verify that the coolant surrounding the intake manifold did indeed cool the air from the intake manifold adapter (turbo outlet). IIRC, at some 10 psi of boost the temp of the air dropped about 20 degrees to around 200°F. The design intent of the coolant jacketed intake manifold...

From the 260-20 tm (1972), wire numbers with descriptions.
