I've managed a few people in my work-life, and have learned a couple things through the years. A big concern of how to handle this is attitude, and how the person that made the mistake responds to bringing the problem to his attention. If he gets angry or blows the customer off, then there is...

I see no reason why a heli-coil would not fix the problem. I think I would provide some adult supervision while they make your repair.

If you rebuilt the airpacks wouldn't they be like new units? What was wrong with them?

I'm another one that just prints what they need. I find the paticular work package I need, print them, take them out to the shop and hang them on the truck with a couple of magnets. I can highlite, put circles and arrows on them, get them all greasy and toss them in the recycle/trash when I'm done.

Be sure and download the TM's to become more familiar with your genset. Pull the throttle out halfway, when you get it started twist the knob until you get 60 HZ, that will be 1800 RPM.

Curious about the need for different voltages, do you plan on moving it to various vehicles?

What did you end up going with Ron?

Seems to me you'd want to have some cross ventilation in that can to keep the heat from building up, and shortening the life of the converter. A 12 or 24 VDC Muffin Fan would work well.

Ex-Air Force Deuces have a 2 circuit brake system, after a certain year. What year I don't know, maybe someone else can answer that.

Any concern about heat build-up inside the can? Did you have to vent the can or use a fan to keep the converter cool?

Use a 24 volt to 12 volt converter, or install a 12 volt alternator (in addition to the 24 volt unit) and a battery. One push of the starter button and you'll let all the smoke out of those diodes.

If I remember correctly, the 003A on a 116 trailer cost the gooberment about $13K from the manufacturer. That genset will outlast any civilian set, as you can plainly see by its engineering. Good catch, be sure and download those TM's and get familiar with you new toy.

Another happy customer! Good show Jim!

That's nice. Now buy a premium membership and put it in the classifieds for sale. You jacked the guys thread describing his paint job on his ambulance. Not good thread etiquett.

Anyone have a good photo of an A3 radiator not mounted in the truck? I came across some radiators and I'm trying to figure out what they go into. I'll post them up for sale if they are A3's.

Looks like you might need to take it to a welding shop if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. I learned something today, I thought they were all riveted or bolted in, thanks.

In TM 9-2320-361-24P it shows it (Part #1) bolted to the cab tub. Do the instructions require it to be welded?

Are you taking voltage readings from L1 to LO? What do you get when you measure from L2 to LO? You say you are not getting any voltage from L3 to LO?

This was true years ago when batteries had rubber cases. The rubber would develop small cracks allowing the battery to discharge into damp concrete. With the advent of modern thermoplastics, this is no longer a problem.

Never-Seize has little metallic particles in it, I doubt it would create a continuity problem. Sure would make it easy to get them back out though.
