    Bearing/Seal Video

    Artic heater Questions

    I checked the TM and I may have a bad fuel control solenoid... Anyone have a source for parts. My heater is NSN 2540-01-194-3923. The Overheat switch lead 9 was shorted out (welded) to the internal chamber so I need a replacement for it also.....

    Artic heater Questions

    Ok, I disconnected the leads from the overheat switch and it fires up now but with lots and lots of smoke from the exhaust and makes a loud "fog horn" type sound so I immediately turned it off.

    Artic heater Questions

    I am having this same problem and suspect the same cause. Anyone have any advice on testing and a source for parts..? I had a situation where the heater back-fired with flame out the intake and after that it trips the breaker when I try to start it. Thanks, Andy..

    Problem Replacing Air Tanks

    I have two new air tanks I'm installing. When I go to remove the nuts holding the brackets on the rods/bold just spin. Looks like they are just crimped into the brackets with nothing to grab on to. What am I missing..? Is there a trick to this or do I just have to cut them off..? Thanks, Andy..

    towing a m101a2 question m1009

    Generally speaking, you can pull a 3/4 ton M101 with a M1009 but be careful with how much weight you load. The M1009 was only intended to pull the 1/4 ton trailers. I would never pull a fully loaded 101 behind a M1009.... You could have problems stopping and could damage the pintle hitch.. The...
