I second/third the motion about the switch idea for a design (with or without the lower cable connections).

It takes a 9/16 allen wrench to turn the tank drain plug....

The new drop-down menues don't work, my puter is missing a module somewhere and I'm wondering if a kind soul could provide me with an old-fashioned link to it, please. Thanks,

You can always find them on ebay if you don't want to pay the dealer prices....

If the batteries are poorly charged and the alternator/generator is charging at a high rate, disconnecting the cable will create a so called "load dump", a high voltage spike, which lasts for several milliseconds (an eternety for electronic devices). This 50 to 150 volt spike can easily destroy...

Nice haul Devin! Congrats on being back in the "deuce crowd", bet the power steering helped manuevering by your house...kind of a tight spot with a few more cars parked there.. :-)

Relace the bad batteries. Don't jump a 24 volt system with 12 volts, the minimum needed on your starting motor is 20 volts or you'll burn up the motor....

My 1972 TM 9-2320-260-20 has many explicit diagrams...

Beautiful attention to detail! Good to see that you have such a great outlet for your fabrication skills, every system turns into a project. Having been there, the images reinforces the memory of the whole truck and the Sacramento Locomotive Works, where you do the machining. :-) What does the...

I'm sure that I have an extra push to test light, PM me an address and I'll get one off to you.

Fuel consumption is about 1 qt/hour and don't forget the "push on" style fitting, my favorite for low pressure applications....

Is this what you are looking for Mike? Edit: Not a CJ5, but a CJ7 top, didn't have the facts straight.....sorry.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Saving 6TL batteries with EDTA It's like 5 years ago and I followed instructions from googled hits, lots of them. It's a bit dangerous with handling the acid, so be careful. I still have at least 4 batteries and haven't given up hope. :-)

RE: Re: RE: Saving 6TL batteries with EDTA I have tried it, but that was before David's article and perhaps I did miss something because it was a complete failure.

My 1968 M49A2C had a 2-compartment stainless steel 1,200 gal tank.....

FWIW, on my '69 8x8 the 27A is on the driver's side for all instruments. Note that the Batt/Gen gauge has its own return (is not grounded via dash).

The TMs vary widely on this, but limit your cranking time to about 20 seconds and let the starter cool for one or two minutes before next try. If the battery voltage drops below 20 volts while cranking, don't continue, you risk burning up your starter. The engine needs to rev about 200 rpm to...

No, they are not, I have 3 different brands, BF Goodrich, Goodyear and Uniroyal all dated '68-69. Here is one of the Goodyear ones. Mike, thanks for thinking of me, I'm always on the lookout for these tires...... second image shows comparison with 1100-20 on the deuce. The tires are all about...

The below images are from one of the 8x8 tires, 16-20 tubeless bias ply type, does any of you know what the "REOR" means and the series of letters/numbers starting with T-218? Thanks

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Shear Pins do Work! Posted this in a previous thread...... "Found a reference to the alloy for the 260 series 5-ton winch (5315-00-209-7979), it is the 2017, probably -T4 temper, which has a shear strength of 38,000 psi. It's a start... "
