I guess most people get most of these goodies from other kits that do a partial job. I am trying to mainly answer questions about the personnel heater, and the coolant/oil heater. I must be looking at the wrong TMs as the one I found has no pics.
-The fuel burning personnel heater on the M35...
Ok I have just spent the last few hours searching for info on the South Wind Coolant Heater that I believe is included in the arctic heater kit. I am still confused what is included in the kit and what it looks like. Here are some of the links I found that drop hints on it or cover similar...
This is something that has been touched on in past threads on spin on filter adapters. This is dealing with the bypass valve that bypasses the oil filters when there is a differential of 15psi caused by dirty filters or whatever. There has been some conjecture that the filters are bypassed even...
Ok before we get off topic lets just end this. We all know this was a mistake, and we can learn from others mistakes here. Kind of like people not checking brake fluid in other threads. Lets just drop this.
Uhmmmm.... I don't know if I would call that a positive experience with law enforcement. I don't know how drunk you were, but if you were REALLY drunk (Not the too low .08% BS rule.) he should have busted your butt. Driving around a 13,000lbs military truck while drunk is inexcusable. If you had...
RE: Fuel filter differences
There are two rubber seals, so one of the two is the problem. One probably needs replacing, or it was installed or became crooked when installed. I kind of like the cork seal too as it should seal better then metal to metal. I just wish it was easier to center them...
I inspected that truck a few months back when it first showed up. It looked very good, but had some hidden rust from my memory. I would not be surprised if it would start with a jump. You should contact Ferroequinologist or Blake as they are close. If you REALLY run into a lurch I could help...
I don't know about very cold weather, but I notice that it does well at the bottom of the window. The problem is that the seat puts my head toward the top of the window.
Yeah cheap imports and Wal-Mart has done that to everyone these days. Custom work is expensive. Currently they only sell the bowl and the motor. I purchased the bowl, and found two motors that will work with it on ebay. I picked up one single phase as they suggested, and another three phase in...
I have a simple centrifuge unfortunately it is on my list of projects to complete. Oh and they are not expensive at all. If you have the skill, materials, machines, liability insurance, etc to make them you would know this. The "real" centrifuges are FAR more costly. From my experience simple...
I am a bit of an expert on those bolts after doing my filter adapter kits. I have seen a few like that, but about two thirds of the bolts I have dealt with are that style with the end brazed on. Somebody sold me a set at Aberdeen that had the same problem as you too. I end up decapitating the...
There is a down side to being ignored by cops though that I found when driving up I-95 to Aberdeen this year. Normally if you break down on the side of the road a cop will stop to see if they can help. Well I ran out of fuel about 10 miles from the truck stop. Many cops and motorist assistance...
M543A2 you are lucky in finding that filter base adapter set. I think I have only read of maybe three people finding them on this site. I originally looked myself for months with no luck. If you still have them apart some pics of the parts would be interesting.
The price in my mind is rather cheap for the filter adapters, but that is because I have been one of those building them. I don't know how others are making them, but the ones I am make are done on a manual lathe and mill in batches. Also the price of billet aluminum of that diameter is not...
