Neighbor has an old commercial sewing machine from the 40s. Stout needle would go through four layers of vinyl, velcro, and zipper without trying hard.

Mine has done the blinky hard start on three occasions. After an episode, its fine for a few months and is perfectly fine and fast starting.
I have the old Nartron yellow label EESS
Unless you are building a rig that is going to take extra thrashing, I would advise to stick with the OE style rubber bushings. They typically last 20-25 years and they absorb a lot of road shock that poly transmits to the frame and body and eventually to you. In my younger days, I installed...
Are you talking about the friction lining of the clutch itself?
Thats also a possibility ...as you've experienced.
I suppose a test for that would be to watch and listen for fan engagement while you plug and unplug the four way plug of the TDM. If it moves alot and doesnt start roaring airflow...
While both straight 30 and 15w40 are both perfectly fine, It seem like the military switched from the 30 to the 15w40.
I personally prefer Shell Rotella but will buy whichever oil is on sale at the time. For our recreational uses, they are functionally all good oils and not worth paying extra...
Yeah, Oiled "performance" air filters are a bad deal. Ive tried them, and they are not to be recommended. They DO pass more and larger particles of dust, and they suck oil into the intake and then coat it with said dust. They cause more damage to gas engines by coating their IAT sensors and...
Another possibility is the fan switch in the crossover being bad. Check for continuity when cold, and again when over 220. It signals when to engage the fan
My first impression driving mine on the road is that they seem to run at what looks like too hot on the gauge. Gave me anxiety the first few times I drove it any distance.
Mine has always kicked on right at the 220 hash mark. It cycles consistently when I'm driving in traffic 40-50 MPH. I found...
From what I've read here on SS, the TDM is not known for reliability. It has a reputation as the most likely culprit in overheating issues involving the fan clutch.
Those hold downs are the same ones used on the doghouse.
They are more expensive than they look like they should be.
They are also a pain in the leg when you catch yourself on one.
I got myself one of the later style fillers and went with a cheaper and all around better method of securing...
I think what hes saying is regardless of the other two circuits(E-brake, and master cylinder) there is a Lamp test phase when you first turn the ignition switch to "ON" that powers that dash lamp to test it. Just like modern cars that light all the warning lamps and sweep the gauges at startup...
Does that metal ring sit properly on top of the rubber part?
If not, they dont go together.
Which part, the rubber or the ring, match the size of that shape in the paint?
You need to be careful of what you consider the "standard military holder"
There are a few different styles of fuel cans and water cans.
Old seam welded US style
NATO german style cans
US plastic water cans
Scepter Plastic fuel cans
Etc.
They are close, but don't always fit all holders
The...
