    I let the magic smoke out!

    Re: RE: Re: RE: I let the magic smoke out! You'd be hard pressed to find a push button switch with a 60 amp rating. You would also have to replace the wiring with at least an 8 gauge type. The starter solenoid may "only" need 35 amps or so, but the spec allows up to 80 amps, that's why you...

    fuel selection switch question

    Yes, it will turn on two separate circuits, SPDT type, although it has 4 connections, only 3 are used. It is used to turn on the left or right fuel tank pump in some applications (xm757).

    I let the magic smoke out!

    I agree with Dave. Off hand, I'd say that your starting system is still okay, the starter relay probably never even energized. Look for a short behind the dash, check wire #27, which also goes to the batt/gen gauge.

    Excellent work! So the original filter is pretty exposed then?

    Air to Hydraulic Brakes

    The deuce has a vacuum gauge for this purpose, look to the left of your steering wheel, when the red is showing in the "window" you have an indication of "vacuum", full red is about 20 inches of water IIRC.

    Anyone have a civy part number for the front shocks on M818?

    If you know the specifications for rebound, compression, stroke, lengths and type of mounting then you can find part numbers in Gabriel's "Commercial Ride Control Products" catalog, for example.

    updated pics of my hemtt restoration

    I like the shots of the crane...how much frame space does it take up, again? If you secured the boom could you drive the truck with it extended?

    Two different wiring hookups for in tank fuel pumps?

    How do you pronounce CCKW?

    One letter at a time. I think CUCV is pronounced cutvee and hemtt hemmet, but I could be wrong.

    Mike delivered a front axle for the 8x8 (a spare from OK) this morning, this man is really moving! After re-arranging his cargo and a quick look at the xm757, he left for John Winslow's place about 1/2 hour ago. We have had a lot of rain during the last 24 hours, but it stopped just in time for...

    Electrical Question

    The voltage regulator is always connected to the battery and a small capacitor within it could be responsible.

    Tested fuel burning heaters today

    Thanks, and after reading your PM again (about too much fuel causing smoke and shut-down), I now need to recheck my fuel valve calibration, which is on the high side, perhaps just a few cc's per minute is enough to make it overheat. The table above specifies 7.5 +-1 and my setting is more like...
