    100 amp generator

    The regulator must be matched to the generator, 100 amp generator needs a 100 amp regulator. For your "avatar", go to the profile section and scale the image as specified.

    Availability of multifuel engine starter

    Finished installing the starter a moment ago. Works great, engine started in 3 seconds.... It's good to be in the company of the Steelsoldiers. :-)

    three prong female cannon plug for an MRE heater

    RE: Cannon 16-10 If it is marked "16-10", then you need an MS3106A-16-10S to mate. The important part is the insert, 16-10S, go to ebay and search for it or google it for alternate sources. Ebay item#310058906045, for example, a bit pricy, but should fit.

    three prong female cannon plug for an MRE heater

    To help you with the connector, what is the number on the insert? You should be able to read it with a bright light tilted just right, should be something like "14S-7" or "16S-6" or similar. The mate for it should be MS3106A-14S-7S or MS3106A-16S-6S for the examples mentioned. They used to be...

    Availability of multifuel engine starter

    Received the starter from kipman and it is the same brand, year and model as was used on my 8x8. :-) Looking very good, very much appreciated! A money order for the shipping charges will be in the mail later today. Even the rotation of the drive head is the same, 75°. The towbar is not in the...

    Airpack modification for towing

    Kinda like the forward facing glad hand on the 5-tonners, note the Tee on the airpak. Any failure in this connection and you'll be completely without brakes...this is where the tractor protection valve comes in.

    Hey, Bjorn, Help! Pt. 2

    You are doing great! Make sure the ground wire from the flasher unit (marked "C") is grounded, since the case of the unit is not.

    Hey, Bjorn, Help! Pt. 2

    Hmmm...bench test the flasher, apply 24 volts to "B", ground "C" and you should have a intermittent output on "A". Connect a lightbulb from "A" to ground and it should blink at a rate of about 80 times per minute. The lamp on the switch is grounded via the clamp, so make sure it's grounded to...

    Turbo ID

    The second one also looks a little like the LDS465-2 turbo on my 8x8, it's very quiet and can only be heard when it's spooling down from the passenger side.

    Make sure the can is vented so that water doesn't accumulate from humid air getting past the "seals".

    This battery disconnect stout enough?

    To follow up on my earlier suggestion, you can get away with a much lower capacity switch if you install it in the #10 wire and possibly #4 (from the regulator) if you suspect that the alternator/generator is causing a problem. It's best to leave the starter system alone and not introduce...

    Cheap Brass Fittings from Home Depot and Lowes

    RE: Made in USA Hmmm..I have put hundreds (actually) to use on the deuce and the 8x8 and never had a problem, they come from NAPA, Lowe's, Carquest, local hardware store, Southern States Farm stores, McMasters, ebay and fleamarkets/yardsales. A few pointers, do use special flare type open end...

    Take a brake bleeder kit with you to pick up a deuce

    RE: kit I'll endorse Kenny's insect sprayer power bleeder, my brakes have remained solid for a couple of years now, never had to add fluid during my cross country trip even. No air pockets in the lines to worry about.

    Power problems with my Deuce

    Sounds like a fuel delivery problem, check all filters and fuel tank for dirt or anything that will limit the flow when demand is high, even a pinched fuel line....
