I still have a few gallons of the "FedEx" fuel, gas/diesel mix and have aquired 200 gallons of clean, used, maybe 40 hrs on it along with some new Tellus hyd. oil. Works good, but if there is too much oil it makes the truck hard to start. No issues running any of the above for the past three...
I'd go with a crows foot line wrench. Sometimes they can be difficult, other times they come off easily. Spray some lubricant on the nut and use a BU wrench. Sometimes a bit of heat does the trick.
Thanks Jones. I want to get it, but the battery issue might be an issue. I have searched the net for a battery to replace the currnt one he has, a non rechargable lithium, but no luck. Maybe I should try searching for a TM, that might do me better aua
Don't care about the wt, I just want to...
Absolutely no lubricity in gas, E85, methanol, etc. If you put straight fuel like the afore mentioned in a multi, it will have the same end result as if it was put in a regular diesel, fuel system component damage from lack of lube, (provided it runs long enough to do damage), and base engine...
Hey all,
I ran across a GPS unit this past weekend at the SCMVCC meet. Stupid me, no pic, I only got a model #.
R 2401 D/U
I didn't get an NSN :roll:
It is a bit bigger than a .50 cal can. Has a black strap, takes 3 AA batteries mounted to the battery compartment lid as well as a lithium...
There are o-rings between the head casting and the copper. Sometimes they get hard and flat, OR , they get erroded from poor cooling system maintenence, OR, the head was "rebuilt" and the guy that installed the new injector sleeve didn't install it correctly. If the leak is at the top or bottom...
I don't have the top plate, but I do have the reenforcing plate installed. The cab top doesn't fit like it did prior to the ring install. I have looked at others and they are the same, the top is just looped up to the edge of the cab and then back down so the ropes can anchor to the hooks. Is...
Very nice! I have had the pleasure of being around running Pratt radials and agree, there is ALMOST no better rush, A 1710 Conti in a tank is my favorite!
Actually, both the above pics are within a months time of each other, IIRC. The paint used on the truck is Aervo, sand, earth yellow, earth brown and black. There are 4 or 6 different versions of MERDC. Desert summer and winter have 2 or 3 versions alone. I am on my laptop so I can't post the...
Actually, a grinder based wire wheel will elongate the holes and leave deep scratches. The high pressure at the tip when the pintle is opened will split the end or the end will blow off, not a good thing to use. You can use brake clean, a brass brush and green scotch brite folded over twice on a...
