Add to that the precaution of always removing the negative connection first and installing it lastly. That way if you accidentally touch ground when working on the positive, it won't cause a short and touching ground (chassis= battery box) when working on the negative terminal is harmless. Find...

Thanks, got a lead from "Pilot" here on the site and ordered some of the 5" duct from aircraftspruce.com.... There is a difference between the black (Neoprene) and the orange (Silicone rubber)...the Neoprene would be marginal with the temperatures that I have measured at the discharge end of...

Carl, if you know what a "filament transformer" is, then you are probably in my age group. ...I'm not much for chatting, though. :-)

I use an MX-7777 suppressor for all electrical devices, it connects to the battery and provides primary protection with its own on/off switch as well. Many references on the site if you need pictures etc.

Mike, you may want to check the specifications to make sure they can handle the automotive electrical environment. Some input protection may be required and, at least, wire them so they are not on when the engine is started.

Speddemon, check this out, not the right dia for me.... FLEXFAB Air Duct Hose SCAT 3"X12' Silicone HVAC NEW Hot:eBay Motors (item 290354202295 end time Oct-04-09 17:36:19 PDT) Eric, here is a pic with my requirements.

To complete my heater installation, I will need some of the high temp silicon rubber duct hose, does anyone have a source for these, since the cost of new is in the order of $10/ft and there are minimum purchases involved (would come to hundreds of dollars)? I'm looking for 2", 2-1/2" and 5"...

Following this with interest. This is what I have so far for my 5-tonner, I plan on making the remaining parts detachable, since they'll be in the way off-road. The B&W image is from ca 1968. What is required in the way of clearance lights? The back-up light and license plate illumination were...

If you are reasonable familiar with electronics , you can build your own little power supplies. I like what I would call "point of load" linear voltage regulators, which can be put together with a power transistor, a few resistors and capacitors from Radio Shack. For just a radio, CB or an...

In parallel, the power supplies may not respond at the same time to changing load conditions and will overload (burn out) one at a time unless designed to operate in this manner. Using another power supply for a battery maintainer is normal (120VAC power), but with another lead-acid battery in...

Sounds like competition for Military Vehicles Magazine....

Much appreciated Chuck!

Yes Wayne, maybe a link on this page somewhere would be handy if nothing else.

Without spending a lot of time searching the site for this, so in case they are not here, may I suggest that we have a handy listing somewhere for these numbers, they do come up from time to time and many of us don't have a clue to which trucks belong to which family. If I missed them, please...

Bill, I trashed the can when it was empty, but Gunk has this product description (image) on the web:

Not to hijack the thread or anything, it it related, kind of, the chains for my 8x8 have "TS type" and "low pressure" in its description, can someone shed some light on that? The part number is MS500055-30.

The image below shows one installed on my 8x8. The diameters are approximate. They are available from a number of suppliers, see advertisers on this forum. I got mine from Memphis Equipment and they are also available with or without zipper, the non-zipper version requires complete disassembly...

The military specified methanol for the evaporators, wonder if the new fluid (blue in color) is better or worse...

Don't let the picture fool you, I restore for function, not for looks, kind of like you. :-)

Nothing wrong working by your lonesome. :-) I like to compare notes and here is a similar shot of my xm757 two years ago (to the day, as a matter fact). The engine is further forward on the 813. What is the weight distribution on the 813 axles?
