Camouflage trucks are hard to see when you are driving a forklift.

I got a text from James yesterday. He was still in Oregon doing PM's. He said the truck is in good shape and drives good. Unfortunately it only goes 54 mph so it looks like a slow trip back. Maybe he will check in with some pictures soon.

Before you do anything make sure the alternators on the truck are isolated ground. The passenger side has to be. Originally, both were isolated ground. If you have the original alternators on the truck, don't exchange them as a core if you buy a new one. They are not available any more and you...

Generator 2 only supplies the rear battery. The rear battery is only used for starting and the glow plugs. Drive it home.

Why are these pictures coming up as upload links?

Just drive it back the way it is James. It's cooler if you take the northern route back. I-80 is a good rood. Head south when you get east of the Mississippi. You could start south a little sooner if you like, just make sure you avoid LA and MS, the roads there are pretty bad. I about beat...

Looks good. Wow, that's a road trip James.

Can't see enough of it to tell for sure but I think it's a 27SI type 100.

The left alternator in your second picture is also a 27SI series. The SRE is just different. It's probably the 24 volt version as shown in this picture.

It's a resistor. As noted above, some alternators have them, some don't. Here's a link to my alternator rebuild thread so you can see the insulators that are used in an isolated ground alternator. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthr...rnator-Rebuild

Home Depot sells it in Wisconsin. It must work there.

Better seats would be good. Your azz will be in a coma by the time you get to FL.

The alternator is very easy to rebuild. If you decide you need to rebuild your alternator, I have the kits for sale. If you buy another alternator, make sure you keep your old one. They are not available anymore and you may need it for parts (rear casting). There is a link to my classified ad...

An isolated ground alternator will have two insulated outputs on the back. One red for B+ and one black for B-. On the stock alternator there's also a second post terminal that accepts a push on connector. Sometimes there is also a case ground bolt. If the alternator you bought only has a...

Flight Standards District Office Ahab.

Who grants the permits, the FAA? Last one I got was from the FSDO.

About 6 months ago the 24 volt transformer rectifier on my M915A1’s alternator quit working. Since the only thing 24 volts (other than the military trailer lights) on this truck is the starter, I didn’t worry about it and just put the second set of batteries in the series chain on charge...

My M373 trailer is missing a couple of brake system parts. As it turns out, James is in the process of changing his M373's axle. He didn't need the brake parts any more and graciously offered to give them to me. I made the trip to Interlachen yesterday and picked them up. James also threw in a...

I eyeballed it. If you thin it a cup (the paint cup on the gun) at the time, it's probably not an once. You will be able to tell when it is spraying correctly. You will also need to clean the filter under the paint cup periodically because it will clog.

Pressure wash it and then paint. I used the same gun to spray my M929. You may need to thin the paint it a little with water. It doesn't take much, so be careful not to add too much.
