My '68 M49A2C came from the USMC (Camp Lejeune, NC) and was apparently fitted from factory with all components except the air intake, slobber tube and compressor intake extensions.

Yeah, if you want to leave the kit installed for a longer period of time, do make some changes.

Okay, I'll dig it up....found it...

My TM shows both controls the same (same functions), so there must be a change...Mike, can you post the instructions, please....

I have a deuce starter motor with a bad solenoid relay contact. It runs good, PM me if interested. Shipping weight is about 65 lb.....no, it won't fit in a flat rate box....

This is what mine looks like, the switch on the left is the HI/LO. It should be similar for the coolant heater. My placement is different from what the TM shows (second image). If it only has an ON/OFF switch, what do the instructions say?

The one I have starts "by the book" every time, takes about 45 seconds in "START" before the light comes on and time to flip it to "RUN". It doesn't tolerate air in the fuel lines, though. I'm very interested in one of those, if it has the coolant pump built in...

Thanks Mike...

Nice haul Gimpy! The controls are often shown together, one for the personnel and one for the coolant heater, guess the heaters are meant to be installed together. The connectors are standard 5-pin ones for this system, let me know if you get stuck....

RE: Re: 12 or 24 volt M37 The voltage drop across a resistor depends on the current thru it, you know, V=I*R, don't think HI and LO beams will give you the same voltage drop.....

Do you have problems with images on other threads? There are plenty of images on this one.....

Anybody have a good copy of this decal? Either an actual one or a good scan will do. Thanks and Happy New Year!

PS Magazine to the rescue...maybe...: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?set_albumName=album04&id=ps326_p18_19_Cold_weather_starting&name=gallery&include=view_photo.php

Hmmm.....they are designed to flash about 80 times/sec, so if it takes more than 1/2 sec, then it's not immediate by my definition. IMHO, you should be able to just bump the lever and get a signal, not having to wait 0.375 seconds to be exact. The ones on the deuce and 8x8 both turn on...

This may not seem important, but does you flasher turn on the lights immediately when the flasher lever is moved or does it do nothing thru the first 1/2 cycle? I have one that "waits" and one that doesn't.... Thanks.

FWIW, the hook shown in the images above appears to be of the "locking" kind, it can lock on to the chain. The chain on my 5-ton truck is non-locking (images below).

If you can't find it in the TMs, try PS Magazine... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?set_albumName=album27&id=ps239_p6_7_Radiator_cap&name=gallery&include=view_photo.php

Huge advantage when backing up in rough terrain....

Nice to be able to get parts from the factory.

Some turboed multifuel engines were fitted with mufflers....... but mainly to reduce noise pullution while on duty in Germany.
