    ATF in M35A3 CAT 3116

    Thanks for the info! My A3 purrs right now. I will have a CAT Technician perform all the work it will need. I can fiddle with a big block or a Briggs&Stratton or even a 6.2 but I'll leave the CAT to the men with the tools. The engine runs so well I'd like to keep it that way. I have decided...

    CTIS issue..Cant find the problem

    Welcome to the site. I had a cracked line to the left front wheel. It kinked and cracked. I have one wheel that deflates over the period of a week to 2 weeks. The CTIS will inflate the tire after a bit of button pushing. After the engine is warmed up, set the cable throttle to some RPM...

    M916 EUC dilemma

    yes what they said plus you can put the end user's Id on the form somewhere in the checked box area. that way you are approved. you are best off doing it by the book so when you get one it is on the up and up. Now find someone to bid on the truck.

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    Since it is multifuel, just add nitromethane to the diesel fuel in percentages commensurate to power level you want. The diesel fuel is just to ignite the nitromethane. I think you could get as much horse power out of that engine as you want. I don't think it will last very long though.:mrgreen:

    pulling 12v without a batt imbalance

    You will have to complete a circuit to make the electrical do-dad work. BUT YOU CAN not ground anything to any surface of the truck!! If you use the rear battery for 12 volts to power something, you must ground it back to the rear battery and no where else! For example, if you mount a stereo in...

    pulling 12v without a batt imbalance

    Think of it like this. If you take a positive lead and a negative lead(pair of jumper cables) off of the rear battery(next to the firewall) and stand away from the truck, you will be at least 12 volts(negative lead) higher than the fender you are leaning on. Now you tap the positive...

    Scratchbuilt 1/8 scale M915A1

    How about assembling tinned tubes and fins as described before and sandwich .025 shim stock between each fin and the next fin across the width of the radiator and tighten the stack of shim stock and then connect the stack to one side of a resistance soldering outfit and hook the tubes to the...
