Re: RE: Thermostat Right, like the old farm tractor radiator shutters.

FWIW, this is the start relay for the xm757 (multifuel engine), rated at 50 amps.

Andy, it's home made, all 24 vdc. This image shows the radiator cover removed in preparation for hauling the 8x8 home. Note that the bikini top is painted white for a cooler ride (and it works too).

Fuel tank?

RE: Re: RE: Push button light switch Amen. I mean, I never operated one, but can imagine....

That's a lot of capacity for a bypass filter.....the picture above only shows 6 to 8 gal/hr. If it needed 3/4" for proper flow, then I would be concerned about creating so much flow in the turbo drain that it could upset the drain from the turbo, a big no-no..... IMHO, the dipstick port is...

My USMC deuce came with most of the kit installed, the "fording" control on the dash, the low pressure regulator and some other plumbing. Check yours, you may only need the extensions for the air intake and crankcase vent....

Re: RE: Push button light switch The age of the technology is not material, what about constant velocty joints, stick shift and steering wheels. :-) It took a lot more brain power to design the 3-lever switch than the push button one, I respect that. The 3-lever switch does it all, why change...

Tyler, the blackout light system is designed to let you drive in a convoy situation without being seen from the air. The rear lights are small, but gives you the ability to judge distance when you are following. The front "driving" light gives you some light about 10 to 15 ft out and it can also...

A different T-stat will not help. To increase the operting temperature, cover the radiator. I could suggest use an electrically operated fan, but you need the air flow for proper temp distribution. Keep in mind that the multifuel engine is a very efficient engine and will not put out a lot of...

165 to 180 is normal for the multifuel engine. IMHO, there is nothing wrong with your cooling system, just put a piece of plywood in front of the radiator to up the temp a little. Like I tried to explain above, the radiator will get warm as shown.

One big advantage with the air powered ones is that they can be operated manually. There are heavy duty air wipers that will fit that was/are used on big rigs (=commercial trucks).

With any mix like that, the real test comes when you have to start it at 0°F....:-)

If the radiator hoses feel mushy, replace them. The thermostat probably never opens in your case, it's designed to begin to open at 180°F. You will feel warmth from the radiator because there is always contact with the engine, lower portion is open (blue rectangle in image) , there is just no...

I did, Patrick and started a new thread on all the mistakes I found...let me see if I can find the post.... http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=16484&highlight=cad+errors

Great project, what is the tongue weight, the crane probably weighs 3,000 lb on its own?

Re: RE: Deuce Front End Alignment --- With Radials Is that true for Air-o-Matic pwr steering too?

That's the approximate max current that the realy is expectaed to be able to handle, in actual life it may not ever exceed 50% of that.

How and where did you measure this? The connections from the starter ground to the battery should have no more than 0.001 ohms resistance as should the supply cable connections. You have two clicks in quick succession, the starter relay, which feeds the solenoid (on the starter motor) and the...

Re: RE: Re: Tatra instrument panel Tom, maybe I should, but that's just not gonna happen, having to much fun exploring this "new" truck with actual owners on the forum. :twisted: In the video, the pressure dropped 10 to 15 psi in only a couple of seconds (based on bar calibration, 1 bar=14.7...
