    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    A company that's widely known does make dually conversion spacers, rims, fenders.

    Oh theirs plenty here , but our recently returned to civilian life President had decided we cannot own them if they are leaving government service, It is all being cut up. And older stuff already out there is game, but that much rarer and hence the prices have grown drasticly We are at this...

    M923A2 Cold Start

    I have one, its gas fired, will try to take some photos, basicly a small tort gas fired burner with a 12 volt circulating pump and QDs. Here in the north Skiders and winter equipment use them all the time as well as "PIGGY BACKING" where you have your truck coolant system tied into the Dozer...

    Just a thought , do you have a one way check valve installed in line in your fuel line, Not all goats do, it was a late TCTO , not long before they got rid of them and not all were done , I have noticed they didn't seem to get through TCTOs as quickly on Goats as they did on other trucks. just a...

    New member from Maine- 1972 M45A2

    I would offer that if the components were all strictly 12 volt and they didn't use a transformer , they simply tapped the battery bank on the 12 volt side. not uncommon ,the 931 and most 900 series do the very thing . works! Some would argue that this shortens battery life, I run my 12 accys...

    Am curious to see the results of your pump rebuild, appears to be a classic gerotor pump, They are known for being just about bullet proof, If you have time check the rotor to wall clearance with a feeler gage. Unless play is excessive they usually pump, I assume your changing packings/gaskets...
