    Weight of a Detroit Diesel 6V53T

    I believe you are correct about the term. I couldn't find the weight of the assembly, so I thought I could find individual weights and add them up...thought I could get close. Seems Allison is a little tight-lipped on their specs for products sold to defense companies.

    HF Jack Stands

    I won't trust HF jack stands either, I will use cribbing instead. I have lots of 6x6's and 8x8's.

    Air leak under dash

    It's the attachment point for the on-board tire inflation hose. It's better to use the Emergency gladhand at the back of the truck.

    So my battery EXPLODED today

    Rubber gloves would be a good idea, breathing concerns? I'm sure most of the hydrogen was consumed during the explosion. Proper OSHA required gear would be rubber gloves, rubber apron, full face shield and work boots. Things like this scare the begeebers out of me, one day you're sighted, the...

    blinker issue worsens

    Whoa Cowboy! Let's see if we can't figure this out before we throw fairly expensive parts at it. (1) Be sure and go through every ground connection point; at the flasher, and every light housing. (2) Inspect the interior of all the light housings; corrosion likes to build up inside and create...

    Changing Rear Main Seal

    Nice to see someone else is a strong believer in resurfacing the flywheel. I would never do a clutch job without spending a few bucks at the local machine shop.

    Air Force One and Marine One

    Yessir. It was January 20th, 1989, Ron and Nancy's last ride. "SAM 27000", a Boeing 707-353B, served 7 presidents over a span 29 years. The plane now permanently resides at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley.

    Air Force One and Marine One

    I recall seeing President Reagan land at LAX, it happened to be his last flight on Air Force One. Those of you familiar with LAX know that Sepulveda Boulevard runs under the runways, and from a distance it looks like the aircraft are rolling across the street.

    Charging 24v series with 12v question ?

    I don't have to remove the lead terminals, I have the "marine type" with the threaded stud and ring terminals on the dogbone. I just remove one wingnut, slide the cable out of the way and put the charger's clamps on. Good thought though for set ups with the regular clamp style lead terminals.

    Charging 24v series with 12v question ?

    I put (2) 12 volt chargers on my 003A and disconnect the "dogbone". You'll have folks say you don't have to disconnect it, but with disconnecting it before starting, it forces me to do my pre-op checks. Not only that but I have an aversion to putting positive and negative on essentially the same...

    MEP-003A Fuel pump strainer position

    Welcome! First, download the Tech Manual so you can become more familiar with your gensets. "Wet-stacking" is more of an issue with water cooled units. The 120 volt convenience receptacle won't even come close to loading up your genset enough for a good exercise. Correct installation to your...
