    Subdued color question

    The reason I'm asking is that I don't want my 8x8 looking like a Christmas tree with flashy white symbols and a yellow bridge plate in the middle of it all. I want to use black lettering and stars to make it less of an "attention getter" on the road. The yellow bridge plate is okay facing...

    Received my solenoid the other day and it's now installed on the XM757 8x8. Thanks Joseph! (I'll test it along with some other electricals later)

    Boost and Pyro Info

    Agree Lee, but connectors and adapters are used. Coiling the wires should have no effect.

    Differential oil pressure gauge

    Patrick, measuring the pressure drop across D-man's filter (1792XD) at first it reads about 9 psi, after oil is warmed to about 140 deg, the drop stays around 6 psi.

    Change Filters - Doubles Oil Pressure?

    RE: Re: RE: Change Filters - Doubles Oil Pressure? James, checking the LDS465-1A specs, it calls for 50-65 psi at normal operating temp and 2,800 rpm.

    Grounding cable question

    The grounding philosophy is simple, connect all metal parts of the vehicle to the negative battery terminal. Some parts need to flex a lot and are connected with braided straps, other parts are not flexing so much and any cable can be used, finally metal parts are bolted together with star...

    A second FDC, why not

    Interesting Mark, never seen one of them before. Must be a substitute for the "Stop Plate" in there somewhere. Thanks for posting the image.

    Some quick questions on wvo

    Hey Cabell, you haven't told us much about this project, are you up and running now or is it experimental?

    Some quick questions on wvo

    A typical one is shown here. Alcohol vapor is drawn in with fresh air for the compressed air system. Alcohol from the bottle mixes with any water that may be present and prevents the formation of ice.

    Great deal on Manuals

    You know there are more than one, right? The maintenance ones (-20, -34)are very informative as well, along with separate manuals for the engine, transmissions etc.

    FDC question again. Sorry

    It's okay John, the non-turbo will smoke...a lot. The turbo will take care of the problem and give you a little extra power.

    Some quick questions on wvo

    Straight VO is acid and can also cause corrosion. Unwashed bio is caustic, while washed bio is neutral like diesel. Haven't checked the Ph of the mix I have been using. :oops: Interestingly the fluid specified for the alcohol evaporator is 100% methanol. That system consists of copper, brass...

    Change Filters - Doubles Oil Pressure?

    Re: RE: Change Filters - Doubles Oil Pressure? The temperature of the oil effects the viscosity and oil pressure. Cold oil will give you a higher pressure. Mine normally starts out at 40 psi and drops to 20-25 after the engine temp is increased to about 150°F (at idle and with 30W oil). What...
