Thanks, I'm as curious as you Devin, no waste gate, the description from the TM: "...dual chambered specifically designed for this engine to provide proper airflow at all engine speeds"....

Ryan, the 6-speed automatic has a hydraulic brake built in and there is a large transmission fluid cooler. The system only has a "dummy" light for monitoring, which turns on at 305°F, so I feel that a gauge will be better, never cared much for dummy lights. The EGT gauge displays readings from...

...do a search for "Connie" in the ps mag section..... It was in 1975.

You guys have to learn to search the PS mag section, besides, Connie is nice to look at. :-)

I think Will is right about the return lines, they get crisp after a few decades and should be relplaced.

Like my deuce, the 757 will get some additional gauges...currently working on a panel for the Transmission temp, EGT temps and Boost.

:oops: ah sh*t....

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: bouncing deuce Isn't he describing a shimmy type problem? Look up front end alignment here, been covered a few times....

"Closed crankcase vent", with that I assume you mean recirculating the fumes back into the air intake after filtering out the oil, which drains back into the crankcase. Add-on systems like that are available from Donaldson and Racor....

I'm bumping this, since it may be of more interest than one would think at first glance....

How is the blow-by handled on the FMTV and newer trucks? Is it included in the total emission measurement to meet EPA standrds? Forgive my stupid questions, I'm retired and have way too much time on my hands and two big MVs in the yard. :-)

RE: Re: RE: Some more pictures of the FMTV I'm taking notes.... So, would you have placed the radiator differently on the HEMTT to gain interior cab space?

The front axle loading is an issue, I removed the front winch and installed larger tires to compensate. The boom is used to balance the loading.

Re: RE: Not all gone You may want to start a new thread on this.....

Since we are looking at original design prototypes here, I think I can finally ask this question, "why place the crane at the end of the bed" as if it was an afterthought, I see it on FMTVs and HEMTTs? With a dozen years of experience with the knuckleboom, being able to clear the road in front...

Re: RE: Some more pictures of the FMTV Doesn't this create problems in rain and snow and how is the air flow into a horizontal radiator hehind the cab? Did you intend to have a cover for it?

Like I stated, rough calculations, but I now have a starting point, and sooner or later the real numbers will emerge, including brand new emission data on the old multifuel, they still run as good as ever and the data can still be obtained. :-) I based the power usage on the BTU value of the...

The glad hand hardware is available commercially. The allen wrench size for the fuel tank is 9/16.....

Thanks Bob for that informative response! Lots of tidbits to research. From my own rough calculations, based on horsepower and fuel consumption/hr the BSFC for the multi is about 0.38. Assuming that it takes about 100 HP to run the deuce at 50 MPH with a MPG of about 10. That can be fine tuned...

How much of this would you say was incorporated into the desing of the 1969 Ford M656 series? I have to ask since the xm757 is my new baby. :-) I also assume that all previous MVs must have been studied thoroughly by your group, so as not to reinvent all of it....then again perhaps when building...
