Stressed skin as in the skin carries part of the structural load. An old school frame and fabric aircraft has a frame structure that carries the load and a non structural aerodynamic skin. a ship or a typical metal aircraft uses a rib and stringer structure with a heavier rigid skin attached...

I got one from Omni Glass and paint in Oshkosh WI…

Ether itself is not the problem, as it is simply a combustible fuel with a lower ignition temperature than the diesel that is also being injected during a normal cold startup. It is its misuse that causes the problems... Diesels don't have throttle plates and use governors to control fuel...

The truck was saddled with this monster 4 battery bank to meet some cold crank mil-spec at a very low temp. Unfortunately the bright lights at S&S didn't size the alt properly to support it, so these trucks have been plagued with charge and battery issues as they typically do not run enough...

None at all. Cat specced a pair of group 31 batts for these engines, and that is really all they need. A pair of group 27’s would also work well IMO. 4 batts is too much for the alt as when 12v is fully loaded it puts out around 1/3 less energy than a straight 24v@100A alt does. a pair of...

I took a few minutes and looked back at their build series. They show the subframe assembly in their 2nd build video. It is a 4 point zero torsion, clamped to a cross tube in the middle with pivots in the same plane front and rear. With some video of him pushing on the box, it is quite rigid...

Cool, you found it! This has been a fairly common issue I have helped troubleshoot. Probably a mud dauber or some other insect blocking the port thru the floor behind the grill…

It goes out thru the bottom. In one of the manuals there are specs for a lifting jig to do it with a crane(bed removed). i am having to raise the floor of my hab in that area so am planning a removable floor section to allow access for possible future service…

OOPS, I screwed that up. I was thinking it was 36, but found one of my other posts on the subject indicating 26. I think I typed that wrong way back when, as having counted them I was immediately thinking/remembering 36. Sure enough I searched a little and found a different post indicating 36...

I could always put a freq counter on it and drive to be certain of the final output, but on my A0 it does sense a 36 tooth spinning gear(i have counted the teeth:)) and the DS RPM is pretty easily calculated... OOPS: 36 teeth, not 26 teeth...

Yea the subframe is supposed to allow the box to move when the frame twists. The thing about captured spring is that they WILL impart stress on the box, and the box must be either designed to flex, or deal with this stress and transfer the force into the springs. Think of it like a 3 point...

Ok with stock wheels and 2:1 hubs(7.8:1 total ratio, at ~60MPH the driveshaft is spinning an insane 3375 RPM. If I recall the output speed sensor is sensing a 36 tooth gear, so that would be 26 pulses per revolution or 121,500 pulses per minute. Since 60 MPH is 1 mile per minute that is also...

Well not knowing how their box is connected, hard to tell what was actually moving. Moving around on my frame, I have noticed quite a lot of movement from the tires themselves.

Yea that sounds weird. Perhaps they did not have enough/any spring preload... I am also not sure how "noodly" the unimog frame is... if they have springs pre-loaded they would have to apply enough force to further compress them or the frame would have to twist to allow the hab to move...

You are not missing it, it is not in the books... I actually got in and counted the gear teeth that the sensor looks at. I can look in my notes and give you a rough idea of PPM when I get home this evening...

There is an output speed sensor in the transfer case. This outputs a pulse per mile output signal(sensor reading an intermediary gear tooth). it feeds thru the transmission controller, thru the VIM on an A0/WTEC2 truck and on to the speedometer and then on to the CTIS controllers. On a WTEC 3...

well if the reg is the only thing providing the restriction and 2 different ones are doing the same thing, it is probably right. it just seems a little high from some of the specs I have run across...

The things a metal hotbox with greenhouse windows... Most electric options you may find a little anemic for the cab, and they are a heck of a load for the alternator... Your best option is probably going to be an engine driven compressor system in the 25-30K BTU range. I haven't seen any of...

Well either the regulator is causing the restriction or something else is:)

Did you try pressurizing it with the primer with the reg removed?
