How about a 24vdc Solenoid valve? It'd be closed unless power is sent to it. That'd be a way to keep the heater core from being warm unless you wanted it hot. You'd just need one in the circuit to turn off water flow. The advantage being it'd speed up engine warmup time since it's not going to...

Accessories REALLY cut into the cargo capacity don't they?

Could be you were on a surface that allowed the windup to be relieved. Soil and gravel allows this.

I have to wonder how easy/costly it would be to add a turbo and Air-Liquid Intercooler on an M818....

Glenn, I added a 24-12 volt converter myself in order to power a 12 Volt Brake Controller.

An old boss of mine was a field technician for a Major Computer company. He was called out to look at a computer that was NOT working right. It was behaving quite oddly and the logic was all off. (this was a mainframe) They had swapped components for days and still no success at figuring out the...

Good idea. I installed a lighter sized pintle hook on my truck. It makes a great place to store the chain when it's not in use too. Keeps t from rattling around.

When I had the chance to get these, I bought three of them. Stored on the 5 ton tool box bolted in the front of the bed of the truck.

The thing to look at is the anchor attachment point as well. Make sure that when you rig these that the anchor points are up to the challenge for the multipoint anchors. If you do a 3:1 pull, and your final attachment point at the stuck vehicle is a shackle held on by 2 bolts, make sure they're...

I've seen a number of vehicles that had Mid-ship winches for this sort of thing. Several British Trucks have this in fact. In theory, I suppose you could guide the rope back through a set of fairleads to the rear. You'd have to have a substantial roller under the winch to clear the engine area...

Those outriggers fold up vertically. Looks like they're good for clearance.

Well, if you have two of three phases, you're going to have 208 volts phase to phase and 110 phase to neutral. If it's single phase, Hot - Hot voltage is 240 and Hot to Neutral is 120. Most if not all devices will not care if it's 208 volts or 240 volts, it's largely the same. A 208 volt power...

I looked at the M1022 as an option for a trailer for moving my armored cars. They're REALLY designed for a shelter and NOT for a container of cargo. The M1022A1 has a higher weight capacity (20,000lbs) as do the even bigger non-Mike number typed designs from Wenzlau (like the CLT). But the M1022...

DAvid, try a commercial truck tire place nearby. You should be able to order them and have them in a few days. I bought all new 1100 tubes for my deuce and used those. The flaps are probably just fine. I have several and it takes a LOT to have one fail. The flaps are just a rubber ring that...

I made up some uprights and bows with dimensional lumber from Home Depot that I think I ripped down across the width just a hair and cut to length after eyeballing the proper length and radius on the back of the truck. I drilled some holes for the bow connections and then fitted them in. I think...

Ahh. Still sort of new eh? Look at the top of the page, on the menu bar. See the "User CP" and other items across the top? Look for the resources link, the drop down has Technical Articles, Technical Manuals and other resources. The Technical Manuals link has the various TMs available for...

Get the M105 TM and run through the troubleshooting section. I think there's a valve system there that could have seized.

There is a valve. But that's usually back on the very back of the truck just before the glad hand. Follow the line back to the tank. It should run directly into the tank.

Correct. The Driver side, Red ie Service proviceds baking signal actuation to the trailers. Tells the trailer brakes when to apply and controls them. The Passenger side, the Emergency side, provides constant air to provide air to the trailer for it's emergency brake system (if present). That...
