    motor wizard needed! lds ldt questions

    Re: RE: motor wizard needed! lds ldt questions The 200 hp (200 to 210?) multifuel had modifications for higher governed rpm, its 200 hp rating is at 2,800 rpm. The pistons featured a 5th ring near the "skirt" and the crankshaft "increased counter weighting and reduced bearing clearances" among...

    Deuce in the mud

    RE: Re: Deuce in the mud High floatation tires will have a different aspect ratio, say 60-70% and will also require wider wheels. Best way to simulate high floatation tires is to reduce pressure to about 10 psi. If "working" off-road nothing beats chains regardless of tire tread IMHO. I'm...

    M125 Wrecker is MINE!!!

    Congrats Lee! Here is the engine description from the dash ten. Guess I'll be looking for more 10-ton PS magazine notes again. :-) BTW, I think it looks good in white, just remove the markings....

    Generator/battery not charging question

    Depending on the state of charge of the batteries, the current will vary, but the voltage should be 28 volts plus or minus a fraction. Which regulator do you have, solid state or electromechanical? Is it a 25 amp system?

    Need items to complete two Vic-1 installations.

    That's the way I have mine hooked up using the MT-1029 and the MX unit, so I'd say it's correct. Check the ground straps for the radio mount and also the MX-7777 for good connections. Get everything from Fair Radio if they have it, I may have paid less, but I spent a year collecting parts for...

    Fuel milage w 465-1d M35A2 W/W

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Fuel milage w 465-1d M35A2 W/W If you want to experiment with the milage with and without lockout hubs, simply remove the splined hubs and drive without, using a drilled (to support the shaft) piece of plywood in its place. Freeing up the rear axles is more important to...

    M35A2 Starting Issues- "Saddam's Nightmare" revisi

    RE: M35A2 Starting Issues- "Saddam The start button should be waterproof, but there is no spark supression, so it may fail after a certain number of cycles. Normally, contacts that switch inductive loads have some kind of protection to "kill" the inductive kick from an inductive (coil) load. A...

    rear light info

    The filaments are connected in parallel, which means that if one breaks, the second will not be as bright, you still have to replace the bulb. Two filaments in parallel = 1 amp Only one filament = 1/2 amp

    m1010 personnel heater fuel pump

    The pump makes a clack clack noise when dry, but is quiet when pumping fuel. You may want to test it again. Find it on ebay or try ACE (acetomatoco) , on this list, I think he stocks them.

    horn button question

    The 8x8 I'm working on came from factory with an electric horn, which was promptly replaced with an air horn (should be an MWO somewhere...), so there is a precedent. I'm making both functional and have a separate switch for the air horn. The horn button on the steering wheel is reserved for the...

    Deuce putting the top down?

    You fellows are setting an excellent example for the rest of us, keep up the good work.

    horn button question

    The rubber cover comes off by prying, the button itself is seated in a twist lock fashion. The horn button design is one of the least military devices on the truck IMHO, I'm surprised that it was ever accepted in this civy style with brass contacts that are constantly exposed to the...
