The control box in an exploded view. The circuit breaker is rated 15 amps. Wiring per diagram above. The control box circuitry is grounded via its metal case and the separate "24 volt" wire goes to the positive battery terminal, it supplies power to the heater and control box.

Here is the wiring diagram. It is "typical" and may have some slight variations from vehicle to vehicle, this one for the M656 8x8. Edit: The numbering of the connector pins correspond to the marking on the connectors, "A", "B", "C" etc.

Okay, one step at a time, here is the cable, get the connectors from any number of suppliers, Newark, Allied etc. Start reading the catalog pages and you'll figure out how the numbering system works. Along with the connector comes the clamp part also. I like to call the connectors "MS" types...

For a more definite test, get a hydrometer and check the specific gravity, no better way to determine the state of charge....

Those parts are kind of hard to find, I search for them from time to time just in case...mostly on eBay. If you need a wiring diagram and part numbers for the wiring harness/connectors, let me know. That item can be made from scratch. The control box too, if you are not particular about...

Well, there is wire rope and then there is wire rope, check TM 5-725 (Rigging) for all the good info.

If you say so, personally I rarely read the multipage threads when responding to them, so something is usually missed. I like to keep the projects separated and post accordingly. I have a hundred posts (probably) on the xm757 project and wouldn't want them all in one thread, it's just me I...

Mike, what's the need to merge, isn't it easier to read short threads?

Check TMs for more info, TM9-2320-209-20 for example.

Huge project Chris, but no need to hurry, it's a hobby, right?

Read all about it in the 1959 patent. Here is a section. Continental used the idea on licence for the design of the multifuel engines in our trucks, thus the reference to MAN on the engine tag.

NDT, the m764 is a relatively rare truck, somebody here (not me) may be interested in any leftovers.....

What is the number on the wire marker? The airpak with the air operated stop light switch shown in image #2 should help you get oriented.

Nice job! What is the noise level? The 4A084 on my 10KW genset is pretty noisy, but mostly from the generator I think, not so much the engine. Is there a fuel filter somewhere not readably visible and what about a muffler(s)?

Will, I have not used the brake at an rpm over about 2,400 and the reading on by back pressure gauge has been kept to 30 psi or below, so I guess I'm maxed out with the standard set-up. Hercules does not have heavy duty springs for this engine. Still, the exhaust brake is a nice comfort factor...

The canisters have drain valves, drain first and it's nothing to it....sort of like a spin-on, but with a bolt on top. The gaskets are much happier if the canisters aren't turned while tightened, like the oil filter canister/gasket situation.

What is you toe-in? Should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch max.

For the purpose of maximizing the braking power of an exhaust brake, it's important to know the maximum back pressure permitted on the exhaust valve springs before they open. I have been using 35 psi as a "safe" value. Called Hercules engine co and they don't have a clue, so here are the spec...

There are lots of numbers out there, need to check the multifuel engine specifically, here is one example: " An engine brake relies on exhaust back pressure to slow down the truck. An engine brake will not harm the Cummins ISB 5.9L engine. One limitation, however, is that the engine brake must...
