Michael, the only difference would be the fuel delivery and it's adjustable. The LDS465-2 has a different pump, fuel density comp and hydraulic head. Maybe somebody else can chime in and confirm this for your satisfaction. About posting in the "wrong" category, it happens all the time, it's a...

Jed, I'm supplying the power to it from the tail light circuit (wire #21) and switching with a microswitch on the transmission.

Problem is to find the correct shear pin, in my case for the xm757 front winch. The NSN is 5315-00-880-5861, which for some reason is different from the other 5-ton truck winches. Meanwhile I'm checking on different aluminum alloys.....it's a matter of coming up with the math formula that...

Vintage Video has a VHS video (#151) titled "Study in Vehicle Mobility" showing various MVs under off road conditions at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. They don't install chains, BTW. Makes for interseting viewing.

For the oil, I use pneumatic tool lube oil, it it squirted into the large air chamber of the airpak and mixes with the air to lubricate the valves in the control section of the unit. For stuck pipe plugs, I have been successful with an impact wrench used with a tight fitting socket and with care.

"Average" is a relative term, compared to what, other 6x6 2-1/2 ton trucks? Size matters, but deep mud snow makes for rugh going for anybody, guess the monster trucks above in this thread simply knew better. :-)

:D

RE: Re: RE: Did a little hauling EGT Results The 818 is more like 20,000 lb.

That would be the TM 9-2320-218 series correct?

RE: M818 Congrats Chris! Don't know how I missed this thread, too busy working on my own 5-ton truck tractor, I guess. :-) David is correct about the exhaust brake, an easy add-on that helps improve the braking on long down hill runs, used it a lot while traveling across the Rocky Mountains...

The "thermal barrier" is covered in the -20 TM, but not any block heater, sounds almost commercial (=non military), more details pls. Have we seen pictures of your truck tractor or did I miss something? Edit: Found your posts... :oops:

Based on the above (posted a year ago or so), I started using Aervoe 997B (24084) for the '69 8x8 and it is almost a perfect match with the original color on the truck. Painting a part at a time they blend with the original....

C'dub, they keep the/any water in the air system from freezing. About my kits, I'm now officially out, Opie and Jwaller each get one. Thanks.

Opie sent me a request earlier, but I'll see if I have enough for a second kit..

This is not a problem at the moment, just planning ahead.. When my solenoid (contactor portion) failed last year, I ended up replacing the starter AND the solenoid, would that be the normal procedure on the multifuel engines or has any of you replaced the solenoid alone leaving the starter...

Well, for brake lines, use steel tubing and inverted flare fittings.

I now have an extra Bendix set, including jar, holder, 1/8" copper tubing, adapter for the compressor and hardware. $25.00 included shipping within the continental US. Paypal payment ships it on Monday, PM me for details. TIA

Great deal! If I can give you one advise it would be to save all the parts, switches, knobs, weird stuff in the bed, tool box or on the cab floor etc, and I mean all because one day when you figure it all out it's the little things that will slow you down. The heater control on the left side of...

Okay, the MS connectors used by the military are standardized, have been for decades. Judging from the size, the needed mating male connectors is MS3106A22-23P and if you want a cable clamp. its number is MS (or AN) 3057-12A. The diameter of the insert should be 1.00 inches (25.4 mm) for this...
