I think you need to filter it down to at least 5 microns, metal particles are not compatiple with the fuel plunger in the IP. Matt, take a sample and send it in for analysis, when you see the results you may not want to mix it with your fuel.

The other solution would be to get known good parts from a parts engine. My "parts" engine came with sleaves and pistons missing...

Granted, the fuel burning heater is more complex, but once you'r on the road, the heater is no longer needed, so for warming up the engine/cab it's hard to beat. John, what kind of trouble did you have with yours, after getting one of mine running, I got pretty good at fixing them and may be...

If it was me, I'd mount a knuckleboom and have a military type shelter, which could be lifted on and off as needed, perhaps with a smaller module for general cargo.. This way the truck could be used while work progressed on the shelter. The truck would then have a flat bed and the crane, which...

Welcome to the site! Stick with diesel #1 and kerosene if you have it. They can be mixed in any proportion. The fuels listed on the data plate in the cab gives you the options, for alternate fuels, do a search on here. should bring lots of hits..... Figure 8 to 10 mpg for the empty truck...

Patrick, the 10 KW set was standard equipment, although 400Hz for the missile erector/launcher. Ryan, no motor home for me, I sleep in the cab, remember, and this one has space for a living room too. :-)

You are very welcome Bob. David, I'd like to find a rebuild kit for the fuel control valves, got two units in need. Here is the wiring for the control unit and heater, flipped sideways so that the text in this thread won't get spread out all over.

Yeah Kenny, last time I tried, which is a year ago now. As you know it came from your yard and only needed the regulator fixed. Much appreciated!

After having worked with the fuel burning heater for a while now, I'm sold on them. The best feature is that the engine doesn't have to run to get the cab warmed up....also it doesn't rob precious heat from the engine on a cold day. :-)

You noticed....the projects never end.

Installed the missing dromedary platform and set the 10 KW genset in place. The four mounting holes lined up perfectly with pre-existing holes in the platform.

Bob, it works like this, first push the light on the controller to make sure it is working and there is voltage. Next hold the momentary contact switch in "start" position, it will turn on the fuel pump, the blower (runs at reduced speed) and the ignitor. The "HI/LO" switch should be in "LO"...

That's a given Mike. Mike, the "dromedary" platform is off so that I could get access to the wiring and plumbing. I also have a 10KW genset for it, not the correct one, since the one used for the missile was a 400 Hz jobber, mine is 60 Hz. There are "foot prints" on the platform from the...

Sorry about being "technical" and I tried to make it simple!!!!:-) It gets just a little more complicated if you have to recalculate the CG with a load with its own specific CG. Actually wrote an article on this for MVM a few years ago...

You'll have to do some research, I don't believe the individual bulbs have built-in voltage regulators for the full 10 to 30 volt range, lamp clusters/assemblies do. First image shows the LED replacement for the 1156 bulb, which is 12 volts. A 100 Ohm/10W resistor was needed to make it work on...

Locate the center of gravity, should be on the data plate, and make a scale drawing of the truck viewed from front or rear. Draw a line from the CG point to the center of the tire where it touches the ground. This drawing will show you at what theoretical angle the vehicle will roll over if...

Marti, if a hard drive won't clean it up, I'll resort to additives, I'm not concerened at this time considering its history. Engine is very responsive and sounds great. The whine from the cooling fan is as loud as the engine almost. The turbo is only audible when I let up the "gas" as it spools...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Got smoke? Mark, the Pershing missile trailer/launcher is no more, they were destroyed according to the Intermediate Nuclear missile treaty in the early 1990's. Most of these vehicles were stationed in Germany, 3 batallions, some 300 vehicles and one training batallion at Ft...

Hydraulic oil does not have the same viscosity ratings as engine oil, "hyd 32" actually has an equivalent viscosity of 10 weight engine oil. Here is a section of the LO in black and white.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Got smoke? Ha ha ha, smell it yeah, it wasn't too bad, just a hint of veggie since I'm weaning it on bio fuels, but with still only one tank, not a high percentage of VO. Every time I turn around there is another thing to work on, found out that the stop light switch isn't...
