    VIC-1 Installation

    Almost everything was covered in this MVM article. "AN/VIC-1 vehicular intercom" , Issue #106, December 2004 If you don't have that issue, I'll check on you specific questions. Be aware that many of the 1780 units don't work, there is no reverse polarity protection and they will be damaged if...

    IP failure mode No 2

    Installed a different spring (with two retaining clips!) and put it back on the pump this morning. Got some more clean-up work to do before lifting the cab back on.

    Pre & Post Pyro Placement

    Drilling and tapping the holes will produce a fair amount of shavings, didn't keep track of how much ended up inside, but I wouldn't want to take a chance with the turbo in place. Note two holes for choice of front or rear half of the manifold. Having two probes will make it possible to keep...

    Found this is in my files, all yellow and the year is 1976 give or take.

    muffler

    FWIW , there is a military precedent, the 757s serving in Germany were fitted with mufflers to keep noise pollution down, lots of driving thru small towns. That truck also had a turboed multifuel engine....

    IP failure mode No 2

    Removed the hydraulic head on the lds465-2 engine IP this morning. As I was pulling it out parts started to fall off, the return spring had broken.... This explains why the fuel plunger wasn't returning. I have replacement parts on hand and will try to put it all back together later today...

    XM757 Cab Lift for access

    Re: RE: XM757 Cab Lift for access Every detail of this truck is engineered, if there is some oddity it's for a reason, in this case there may be more support needed for storage of the spare tire (behind the driver)....all this makes this a most exiting MV to "play" with. Armada, almost...

    XM757 Cab Lift for access

    Spent about 5 hours preparing for the lift and 2 hours on the actual lift of the cab. The fuel plunger in the IP is sticky and I need to take the hydraulic head off at least, so the decision was made to take the cab off needed or not. It certainly makes for super access.

    new or NOS m37 gas tank or substitute

    My son used a fuel tank from an '88 Isuzu Trooper as a replacement and it fit very well ('53 M37).

    Glad to see you up and around again Gary. About the mermite, I ended up using Jerry cans to transport the hot oil..... Thanks to all who responded.
