    FDC Bypass causing steam engine like smoke?

    I would suggest turning the fuel down. When I bypassed my fdc I ended up turning it down 4 turns which is a lot. My adjustments were made using a pyrometer and I alkso adjusted the droop screw a bit to reduce the smoke when you are working the truck. I had done a thread on this issue and I...

    Help... Brakes Stuck on!

    The new style or old style airpacks are interchangeable. If you can check the problem when you get back try these checks in this order. Start the truck and build air pressure. Apply brakes. Most likely the problem will re-occur. First crack the bleeder at the top of the airpack where the...

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    You would know if the lifter is collapsed if you measure the pushrod against another. RL

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    If you want to check a pushrod., you can pull the one you are concerned with and another that is apparently 'normal' and compare their lengths. If the pushrod got compressed it would be rather obvious. RL

    Dragon Wagon in Apollo space program

    From what I can see, I believe the Dragon Wagon is holding the booster bottom as the crane eases it into the vertical position. The DW may have towed the section into the building before this shot. I cannot think of any other reason for the truck to be where it is otherwise. RL

    Help... Brakes Stuck on!

    The air pack seems to be at fault but you may still have a problem with your master cylinder. There is a tiny vent ahead of the main piston in the main bore that vents fluid back to the resevoir when the brakes are released. If this tiny hole is plugged this would serve to prevent the fluid...

    M35A2 smoker

    What kind of MPG do you get?????? This would tell you if the truck is overfueled or else there is some other problem. It is possible that the FDC is stuck on the highest pressure and that would enrichen the fuel to the point of smoking like you have described. How does it start? Easily...

    NiCd battery for starting

    I have several of these batteries I use for deep cycle applications for my radio work and also to power the shelter on my deuce. I got mine surplus from the aviation industry as they were too old to be used and were replaced by newer products. They were originally 28 volt nominal voltage...

    Camo pattern layout

    I was repainting my whole truck and only had to pattern where I had completely reprimered. The chalk I used was very light and was covered with Black when I was done. I usually brush it off, or wipe it off with a rag as I go.

    Camo pattern layout

    I generally freehand, but have resorted to using a piece of chalk to draw the outlines when it is needed. If I am not mistaken, the paint manual has a section on how to scale the patterns onto the vehicles. RL

    M35A2 Engine Question

    The engine referenced is the forerunner to the more prolific 465 a.k.a. the 427. Now there are many who dislike that engine and some who swear they are as good as the newer ones. I suppose it depends on your personal experience as opposed to any general opinion. While the "multifuel" capability...

    Wreckerman screwed the pooch

    If WM is Soldier "A" that makes Elmo Soldier "B". I would expect that in a situation like this, Soldier "B" would be responsible for chocking the truck as he has little else to do since Soldier "A" is the driver/operator. So how is it that Elmo is not facing the same charges...

    12v headlamps in a deuce

    If you must....Install an Invertor inline with the power feed to the dimmer switch and then switch the bulbs to 12 volts. The light switch will not know the difference and the only other change you need make is the harness connector to the bulbs themselves. RL

    Wreckerman and Elmo on the move

    I think the lessons of time have given those of us Northeners who are aware a new perspective on "Sate's Rights". No Doubt were the notion of secession debated in today's scenario, the potential for tyranny of the federal Govt would be far more obvious. RL
