We were talking about this on a thread on airpacks. They don't always bleed off and the brakes stay partially applied. Or it could be junk in your master cylinder that's keeping the fluid from returning to the resv. Unless it's billowing black smoke, a little blow-by is what you're seeing...

I can't think of any of the later tactical vehicles that aren't automatics. The military doesn't have to take the time to train drivers who never drove a stick in civilian life. Just teach'em the basics of stab-it-and-steer-it. Having driven stick for years, I grudgingly have to admit that...

As discussed in another post; not only is reverse in a 900 series close to 11 to 1 but it's also possible to shift the automatic with partial throttle. It's one thing to shift into reverse and start up from idle but quite another to hit reverse in two tenths of a second (Allison up-shift...

The damage in your picture could very well have been caused by a BB gun. The rear and side glass is "solid-temper" and is designed to shatter like that rather than into longer sharp slivers, in the event of an accident. If it was one of my trucks, I'd find BB; call on parents. At the very least...

RE: New duece brakes locked while driving help Same on a duece I had. The airpack wouldn't bleed off and that kept the brakes partially applied. There's gotta be a better way but my fix was to get underneath and loosen the fitting and that would vent the air out of it. This would sometimes last...

Any intereest in a catalog of the Mil. Spec. Cannon plugs with a breakdown of the part numbers decoding; shell size, type of mount and configuration, orientation, number of pins and their relative wire sizes? I have it in .pdf

We've had several posts on the M-900 series transfer cases cracking when in low range and reverse gear is used. Our own Joaquin Suave gets the credit for determining why. In shopping for an Allison for his project truck he ran across some specs. for the Allisons in the 900s. He sez that those...

RE: KAY... A short in a power wire substantial enough to keep a lamp from working would probably trip whatever circuit protection there is... is the fuse/circuit breaker good; or the switch itself? I know these may sound like dumb questions but often the problem is one you'd never think to...

Bjorn, I only saw them installed... or laying on the ground after they fell off; never "new-in-the-box". If they were a motorpool-made item they were all sure identical. So maybe the idea came out in a PS Magazine Suggestion Box type article?

Bjorn, What I remember was a thin gauge sheet-metal disc with a lip running towards the back about 1 1/4" and a couple of wire legs that went down behind the bridge plate to keep it in place. Imagine a coffee can cut down 'til the sides are only 1 1/4" tall then the sides are further cut back so...

Some of the bio-diesel scientists on the site could better answer to the specifics but IMHO; something else to consider is that the FDC was intended for use as a component of a system that used a hydrocarbon-based fuel-- though of varying densities (i.e. #2 diesel, mogas, JPs, etc.) Biodiesel...

Some of the labels actually have a p/n. Might be near microscopic, down in a lower corner or just outside of a border. With that at least you'll have something to go to a Dodge dealer or surplus source and see if they're available. Anybody with one in good enough shape to be photographed???

For the size and length of the cable you shouldn't have any noticable resistance when measured with a VOM. I ended up making all my battery cables out of 2/0 welding cable. It's heavy duty, has thicker insulation than some of the other battery leads available and is flexible because of it being...

Same old story here. The standard questions first and a check of license, reg and insurance then a lot of questions; what is it, where did you get it, how much have you got into it... If it's a slow evening for them, I've even taken a few for a short road trip with their partner trailing along...

I've got a circuit board with a row of the breakers you posted Patrick. I'll check and see what they're rated for. One thing I'm especially protective of is an vehicle mount FLIR system that I'd rather not set afire. I priced a replacement FLIR aperture (camera) and the quote required CPR to get...

Not sure who they hire as screeners but I once looked at "Engines-Jeep, four-cylinder (diesel); applicable to M-38, M38A1". Got excited 'til I saw that they were gasser four-bangers with waterproof plugs and plug wires.

I did some reading and I think that lead to my confusion. While I found circuit breakers that specified a particular voltage; none of the blade-type fuses were marked by voltage, just amp rating. While I've been up against wiring systems that had fusible links, I'm not a big fan of them as...

Thanks Patrick for the link to the catalog. I ended up with over 70 24V breakers in 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 amp ratings. I hate to throw them away but I'm unsure as to how 'off' the protection will be from the stamped marks on them; do the 20A ones now trip at 25A or 30A?. I'm converting the...

I've decided to run BUSSMAN (Buss Fuses) blade type circuit breakers instead of the one-time-use ATC or ATO fuses and so was given a bag of them to play with. Going through them I'm noticing that there are some marked 24V 10A, or 20A, or whatever-- and some marked 12V 10A, or 20A, or whatever...

Great progress!! My hat's off to you.
