    Coolant Tank Keeps Cracking!

    Just a make you feel better suggestion. Make sure oil dipstick is just showing oil and no water ( typically looks like a chocalate shake) to make sure head gasket ok and no cracks/gremlins. Is temperature running normal? I have seen weird things in the civy world as pressure needs to go...

    m116a1 ? Trailer Salad- What is it?

    Interesting that the data plate calls it a m116a1 and references the tm for them. Most of the tires of that era used by the military were tube type is my guess.

    m116a1 ? Trailer Salad- What is it?

    It is probably a real special purpose build with very few made. I have a different radar trailer flat bed of another m116 salad build that has serial number 21 that I pulled home from Ft. Rucker. 900 x16 Tires scared me as they were 60's dated but rock solid since they are I think 16 ply or...

    Myth busting- Batteries

    I have experienced the stated failure twice since I got mine. Don't know why as I am also m998 stock with 60amp and no 12v accessories. I do have a solargizer. Just a few months ago, I replaced the bad battery and rotated. Maybe I just had bad luck .... :-(

    M1097A2 Oil Pressure on startup

    I looked at their website and was surprised that it used the OE sender. In my parts selling days a lifetime ago, aftermarket gauges normally used their own unique senders. It does say that the gauge has a micro processor built in. Maybe it has a slight delay but that is a guess on my part? They...

    M1097A2 Oil Pressure on startup

    Is the gauge mechanical or electric? If electric did it come with it's own sending unit and is it 24v?

    Fan Solenoid replacement

    Both are approximately a 10w viscosity with different additive packages. Power stg fluid has anti foam additives and ATF has additives suitable for internal transmission clutches, valves, etc. A little mixing of both won't be the end of the world. Different topic, but 5 ton's routinely have...

    MEP-004A and M200A1 Step Jacks

    Plain ole power stg oil is 10w with additives to keep it from foaming and wearing. Any parts store, grocery store, walmart etc sell power stg oil usually in pints or quarts.
