doghead may have some 5 ton shear pins he could sell you. Don't know for sure. Bruce

That looks like the right one for you, but you never said if it was a 12 or 24 volt rig. There are different configurations for different battery layouts. For example on my CUCV I have a 24 volt solargizer, which provides 4 battery leads. 2 for each battery (+ & -). Make sure you get the right...

I suggest that you go to http://www.pulsetech.net/ first and read about all the different stuff they have. The military has been using this stuff for ages. I have had a solargizer hooked up to my 24 volt system in my CUCV for at least 10 years and I hardly ever have to swap out batteries. Do a...

I would go with Solargizer. Mostly they handle the sulphate problem, but I think they may have some that actually top off the charge. Bruce

Any one have a pic of the tool or a work around? It would be nice to know what I am up against before I tear into it. Thanks, Bruce

Keep it at 55 and you won't have any problems. Once you start pushing it, the rear engine seal will start to leak. You should be fine if you do things like check fluids frequently in case the seals are old. I drove mine from Colorado Springs to Berkeley, CA. But it only had 15,000 original miles...

Get parts from Brakesmart. Install extra batteries in driverside tool box. hook up sensor in brakeline for controller. Install cable with civi connector to rear. Bruce

Just remember a simple rule. Anything said after 9PM or before breakfast doesn't count. 40 years with the same wonderful girl and counting. Bruce Reason: People say things when they are tired and sleepy that they don't really mean, then pride takes over and really messes things up. Trust me...

Also check ground connections to block. Bruce

My guess would be that the end of the probe has aquired a lot of rust deposits or something that acts like an insulator. Or that the connector is loose or wire broken. First thing I would do is have someone watch the light while you wiggle the connector and wire. Next, take a flashlight and...

Thanks a bunch, I figured it was probably operator error, and it was. ctrl - fixed it...Now where did I put my magnifying glasses and where is the computer............ Thanks again for all your work on the upgrade! Bruce

Never mind, I figured it out close enough. M923

Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just me? Here is an example of what I get in returned PMs: T h e t e x t i s a l l o n e c h a r a t e r w i d e .

I want to change one side of my M54A2 to a dropside. I have the dropside panel, but I need to fab up fittings etc. to instal it after I cut out the fixed side. What truck has the closest to an M54 with dropsides? I need to get the TM for that truck so I can study what I need to fab. Thanks...

I understand how to widen the articles in the forum posts by clicking on the double arrows to the left of the posts at the top, but I am at a loss as to how to widen the replies I get to my PM's. Right now I have a reply that is only a single character wide which is a wee bit difficult to read...

HEATER, SPACE MULTIFUEL WITH BLOWER 15,000 BTU/HR, 28 VDC (VBM MODEL VBM 15-IV) NSN 4520-01-032-7363 This is the heater that goes in my S-250 I just lucked out and found it at a MV swap meet years ago. I paid $150 for it which was not cheep, but it was NOS still in a sealed package. I installed...

Warthog: Sorry, I thought that had been answered. Coolant level in the radiator, not Temp. Ken: After looking at the schematic in the TM, my guess is that it is really just a sensor and not a switch inspite of the nomenclature in the TM. There is probably a current flow detection circuit in...

Correct, that is one way to get a possible answer, but there are many ways that this circuit could be implemented, and I was curious about the one in the CUCV, not the modern day vehicle. In particular, is the device an actual switch, or is it just enabling a circuit path to the water and back...

Does anyone know exactly how the coolant switch works? Looking for the geek answer. Bruce
