Look in the book and remember, the stock hookup will have NO park lights with headlights. dg

It can use a line from a remote regulator plumbed into the middle hole via a 1/8" pipe thread fitting. Or, the Bendix governor can bolt directly onto the compressor with the two holes either side of the port with nothing more than a gasket between and a pressure sample line from the tee on...

Or do you mean the little individual plates with the numbers on both sides? dg

Those are seen on the HUMMV ambulance models. They have A/C, lots of radio and lighting demand as well. Reputation is touchy, one burnt to the ground due to a fault in the alternator right on the NG base in Phoenix. dg

Lots of talk about the fuel, little about the truck. Multifuel engine injection systems have hardened plungers and other wear surfaces to begin with, a requirement for running arctic grade fuels and gasoline. It couldn't care less about the low sulpher fuels being sold now. A lot of press is...

'65 thru '68 was when they built trucks under contract. Pick '65, you won't have to mess with emissions if they start in '67 like here is AZ. dg

Actually, from that day they were by Timken. Rockwell bought the rights to build them when taking over contracts. All parts are interchangeable within the same series. dg

RE: 5-ton p/s for deuce This is not an area to "cheap out". A duece is still a lot of truck to lose control of, and this would mean replacing a well-engineered reliable original system. The Air setup merely adds boost to that existing system. If you are going ahead with a full hydraulic...

There are two systems in use on 5-tons. One is the original Ross Hydrapower box, riding high off the frame outside using a long drag link. Very strong, troublefree, but has a bit of lag in control of boost. The later system is by Ross as well, but mounts low on the frame outside. It uses a...

It still seems like a lot of unnecessary work. As stated before, I just dump it in the fuel & go. It doesnt make a bit of difference mileagewise on fuel filters, when they plug up I change them. If I happen to have been running heavy on WEO, they will be blacker than usual, but are usually...

They (the military supply system) have a similar rig that goes on the muzzle end of a towed field piece. Usually cheaper as the NSN doesn't jive with truck stuff so dealers price it so. dg

RE: Brake fluid -how to tell which kind you have DOT 3 or DO I always check by getting a tiny bit on a finger and touching it to the tongue...3&4 are bitter, 5 is like olive oil. Rinse. Repeat if necessary. Chase with favorite beverage! dg

Been there. Done that. Bead glue came out still. O-rings new. Sealant on the ring flange. Follow the TM faithfully. I still maintain it is easier to convert them to tubes and go. Just because it is original doesn't make it right. I know too many of the guys that design this stuff...

a HA! ...

It is usually a lot of work to get those newer tubeless wheels to seal up. Most trucks that run them in the service have CTIES on them so it is no big deal. I had three that that just would not seal. Taking them apart is a lot more work than you might think, as the bead seats very snugly...

They be the same style as the M37, or "good" category. dg

I've just drained it and dumped in in the fuel tank for years. Never had any problems. ATF too. dg

ATF is a little viscous for use as is, but it mixes just fine. Smells really weird, but OK. dg

Being said, all the "multifuel" label and combustion chamber does is give you the ability to run on straight gasoline without knocking itself to pieces. They also have hardened plungers in both the IP and injectors so as not to gall on gas or fuels designed for arctic use. Most folks don't...
