Lets see, the fuel goes up from the in-tank pump, to the primary/water separator filter, then across the front of the engine to the low side of the IP. From there it goes to the secondary fuel filters and back over to the high side of the IP (hopefully with the FDC bypassed), goes into the...
Containerized Kitchen for those who don't have one. At $355,000 a smack when new! If you do have one, please contact me as soon as possible. If you don't have a CK, just pass on by - they are not for the faint of heart. They were built to feed 650-700 troops three meals a day with five cooks...
Low power at higher engine speeds is often clogged fuel filters. If there are no air leaks the multi-fuel IP first stage will move all the fuel you need w/o the in-tank pump running. Chek the TM's for the proper fuse, it will be in the -20/-24P manual.
I cannot get any of my MBU's to turn on. Tried two different power supplies, which are producing 26.6 volts at the end of the cord that plugs into the MBU. So far 8 different MBU's simply do not go through the startup sequence, the display remains 'dead'. Two of the units I used last...
That area is the strike plate for the top door latches. Mine may look a bit different, as I've added some electrical (and removed the blackout switch, which is triggered when the door is being opened in the GI configuration). stuff.
Mark your calendar now for the Virginia MV Rally, to be held on Labor Day Weekend next year. The SC group has tentatively planned to arrive on Wednesday before and depart on Labor Day. It is held at the Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, VA, about 30 miles north of Charlottesville on US 29...
Guy, that was probably half the HAWK batteries we had during that time. Mine was built with the deep water fording kit (but only parts of it remained unfortunately), also has the paperclips on the front bumper.
It's also easier to find a cargo cover for the back of an M35! The only M36 cargo covers I've ever seen were the three piece ones (front, top and back), and the 'troop seats' do not fold down either. BTW, $8K for an M36 is probably cheap, as I would want $10K+ for mine.
Jasonjc is correct, that is an M35, not an M36. The M36 bed is five feet longer than an M35, which is 12 feet long to begin with. IE, the M36 bed is 17 feet long!!!!
It was a bit 'rougher' in the winter to get wet. I think I remember the procedure was to install the drain plugs, move the vehicle down to the water with the front wheels submerged up to the axles, turn on the sump pumps set on 'high', then ease into the water slowly and be very mindful of...
You need to find the TM for the shower tent, as it would have the directions for setting up the heater.
Try this > http://us-thermal.com/productinfo.html They have an owner's manual available as a .PDF. HTH.
The G-G's were made in a plant near Charlotte, NC, and the acceptance test was to drive them into Lake Norman, go out about 100 yards then return. Every one had 500 feet of rope attached to the vehicle and anchored ashore. I've been told the failure rate was close to 25 percent on the first...
Four finger type are prone to breaking one of the fingers since they are cast parts. Three finger type are stamped and thus supposedly more durable. If you are in there, might as well replace all three parts as noted above, along with the pilot bushing on the flywheel - one less thing to worry...
With the G-G's, a ripple is enough to sink it. I've seen modifications to the front on both sides to raise the freeboard about eight inches using 2 x 10's cut to fit. Harder to get in and out with a top on, but MUCH safer in the water.
First two are going out on a trail ride with the two folks in the back of the Gamma Goat being non-rally folks that were offered a ride. Next three are part of the 'truck games' and the last three are at the Pavilion for the Saturday night BBQ feast.
