Sure did, I just ran it to clean the crud out and after that day I changed it and put fresh 15W40 with a couple quarts of Lucas additive. It sure did do a good job of cleaning it though....I got allot of sludge out.
Oh crap.......
I do know the green warning light requires 0.5atm to make it burn. This light and the oil temp gauge are the only two oil sensors that I have available to me in the cab. The light is actually a reverse dummy light in that it comes on after oil pressure is created past 0.5atm and...
RE: overheat
Do you think mine spiked because of the reduction of the oil flow when it got plugged up????
Speaking of rattleing and shaking...maybe the 11.5 ton body helps smooth the ride cause I run on the highway sometimes sustaining between 30-35mph and it rides smooth as silk :lol:
Only...
Its a 24V electric traverse and elevation. There are manual backups if power goes out or the batteries go dead. When on the truck it plugs into the 2 dynamo's that are run by the engine. Those charge the truck batteries and also charge the batteries that are stowed in the box on the right side...
OH............MY..........LORD!!!!!! :shock:
Thank you immensley for this!!!!!! :D I just ordered 6 of the ball valves, some threaded and some with the barbs so that I can use them on the oil cooler on my other truck!
This one is a 1976 but suprisingly it only has a little over 200km on it. This was one of the mothballed vehicles that unfortunatley wasn't taken really good care of before storage. I thnk they were starting to phase them out about that time and this one shows limited service with the reserve units.
More pics of my work. I was fighting mosquitos when I started last night so I dont have any pics of the first part of work but I took some pics before I RAN back in the house.....I was almost carried away by a squadron of those blood sucking vampires :evil:
RE: dodgy dealers
Dmetalmiki,
Just to let you know.....I sent you a PM about the temperature sensor on your PV3S. Please let me know when you can bud! :)
Yep sure is, I would post the english manual I have but I havent scanned it in yet :( Will try tonight if I can get my PC to not act up.
To answer your questions no not really, the oil pressure seems to get up there pretty quick and thats probably due to the fact it has two oil pumps....pretty...
Cool, I originally didn't want to post pics becuase I was worried that they would eat up too much space but if it's OK then will do:)
The guns aren't operable at the moment. I do have MG's like the 20mm you see in the 5th pic but I doubt i will be able to afford to keep the M-53 cannons fed...
Heyt guys, if y'all could look at pages 403-404 with me in the sercvice manual: http://www.pedros.cz/Misc/V3S/V3S_dilenska.pdf
There is an illustration of the oiling system that will give you the run down of how everything is lubed. If you look at the upper front of the block you will see a...
Here ya go guys! Fixed the above and heres the continuation. :D
I have moved my question here too:
Also looking for ideas on a engine pre-lube setup.Thinking of using a a hand operated setup or this electric pump:

Do yo know anyone in CZ that can preview their inventory? We have a member here that lives in CZ, his username is czechnology. You may want to check with him about previewing stuff. Like I said, these guys will sell you stuff that they dont necessarily own or have clearance to sell so its a...
I hope you didn't send them any money Dean, that whole bunch of so called "companies" is run by a bunch of guys and they are no more than "in between" dealers that will sell you someone elses products after tagging a hefty fee on it and calling it their own. I've never been burned by them but a...
Posting my Tatra 912-2 engine upgrade project here for my PLDvK 53/59 Jesterka (Lizzard)
Going to get things together and starting this coming week off 9/10/08-9/17/08. The plan is to:
1. Install an electric cooling fan and thermostat to help shove the hot air out and keep the airflow going...
Yep, sory bout that but I found it out looking for accesories for my PV3S. They never could give me a definite price and their whole buisness practice made me suspect. I had some friends over there check them out and sure enough its a racket.
Dmetalmiki, you have a PM :)
