Hmmm...I'd like to see that spec. The pump is a fraction of an inch from the bottom and needs 1-1/2 to 2 inches of fuel to function. If the pump is set higher, you'd have no fuel on a steep slope.... If water contamination (water sinks in the fuel) is suspected, just crack the drain. Smaller...

The fuel goes to a small gear pump on the IP (not the IP itself), which boosts the pressure to the secondary and final fuel filters as well as feeding the flame heater system.

Not being into this, I could however suggest that old manuals are studied for gear ratios etc. I myself am of the opinion that the step from 3rd to 4th is too big, especially when heavily loaded.

It depends on how "run properly" is defined, it will run perfectly well on all fules listed in my above post plus some (veggie oil and biodiesel, for example) with the FDC bypassed and fuel delivery adjusted. Since the military does make this modification, there should be an MVO, but nobody...

RE: boots Still have one left..... 5,000 posts, it's time to retire.

The FDC is calibrated for four fifferent fuels, "Combat gasoline", "CIE" fuel, DF-1 and DF-2. CIE=Compression Ignition Engine, not sure which fuel is used, kerosene? Based on the density (specific gravity), kerosene falls right between gasoline and diesel #1.

Hmmm...about 7 cfm. I have no problem with intermittant use of the 3/4 impact for lug nuts etc. It's not good for grinders or spray guns for sure.

Here is part of your answer.

It's something very non-military about the horn button mechanics....a waterproof switch on the dash would be a better solution. As a matter of fact, I have two horns on the 8x8 and need to find at least one more push button switch.

Ryan, for one thing the targets have to become less attractive to the enemy.

RE: truck Did you fix the torque link problem or did I miss an update...again?

One problem I discovered was that with enough air flow, the flame is snuffed out. A wider manifold cross section is an advantage (=slower air speed). Still the flame heater has to be used correctly. http://imageevent.com/cranetruck/flamedetector

Sorry, kind of skipped this thread after the engine was identified as a Mack. I did write an article on the multifuel "flame heater", so if you have specific questions, let me have'm.

There is something inherently wrong about warfare that relies on armor so much that performance is inhibited.

RE: boots Okay, all things considered, the vinyl ones may work fine, but I want all NOS style (Memphis shown above), so I'll offer these for sale: 1 ea: $15.00 (shipping included). 2 ea: $25.00 (shipping included) 3 ea: $35.00 (shipping included) Shipping=USPS Priority Mail First come first...

RE: boots Okay, after soaking at 10°F for an hour or so, they have both retained their relative flexiness. No problem other than that the vinyl one may be tough to install, guess I'll have to try one. Wayne, about the sausage, wife will be in CA for another school year, so not much chance for...

I'm sure they are not. The only markings on them are "TOP" and "CCB". I have one in the freezer now and will report back later today.

Got some steering knuckle boots from kcgonzo yesterday. They appear to be made of vinyl, glossy and a lot stiffer than my set from Memphis. The price was right, but I may not use them after all. Anybody have experience with them? I have a really hard time with the zipper and that's right here on...

RE: what Good job, a perfect application for the wrecker.

Did you call Clark Truck Parts, Poca (near Charleston) in WV? They have been good with take-off items in the past....(304) 755-8811...they also have a website....
