    Jump starting 24V with 12 volt?

    I like using semi truck batteries in them they have 3/8 studs on them I just unbolt the cables ends on the truck and the cables eyes will bolt right to the studs. They are cheaper than duece batteries and last longer than car batteries.

    Spicer 3053 Transmission?

    My 77 m35a2 had the strait 3053 in it at first but it decided it was retired. I replaced it with a B model trans. From Internet searches I knew the ratios where different and it was in my mind during the swap, but in real world driving I could not tell any difference in the two.

    Tips on picking out a 6.2, 6.5

    Find a 599 6.2 block and add the 6.5 turbo with the mechanical IP best set up there is. Just look out for injector length the older 6.2 they have long injectors and they wont clear the turbo, but the last three military 599 motors I had already had the 6.5 heads on them I assume they did this so...

    nhc 250 cummins

    Its kinda a funny thing the gap is big between 2 and 3 just like mentioned above, which makes you lug the motor and Cummins where notorious for stretching head bolts and therefore blowing head gaskets when you lugged them hard back in the day. Go fiqure

    Purpose of "Reset" Button on Wiper Motor?

    I don't know who made but the button is the wiper park, when you shut them off they will drift down you simply push the button in and it locks them in place. It should pop out when air is applied sometimes they are a bit sticky I just move the wiper by hand a little.
