    Engine Prelube Info....

    the only difficulty might be for the M35 and a pump, as getting the oil fom the sump could be an issue since its pan does not have that neat little fitting. The pressurized cylinder seems like a good idea if it will hold for weeks..

    Strong Suggestion for Idled Trucks

    I had a big fat possum sleeping on top of the engine for a while. After rudely awakening it with the startup procedure a few times, it decided to find other day accomodations. Apparently it is fond of the swedish meatballs and other tidbits meant for my porch cats. It's really kind of cute with...

    Coolant system filter

    I have a hot water personnel heater of the usual kind. seeing that this filter connects where the heater goes, does the proper installation of the entire contraption look like A or B in the diagram below?

    Dallas to Temple and back

    I am doing 55 at 2500RPM, (also not exactly seeing the guage straight ahead) which would be 2272 at 50MPH. Redline (2650) is about 59MPH but I don't go there. I gained perhaps 5% greater mileage. The best benefit is lowered engine speed. - On the flourescent dash lamp, I have tested dimming it...

    On Board Air Hose Reel...Done

    Some reels may mount horizontally, some vertically - so are these reels made differently? I have a vertical mount one with 50FT hose around here somewhere.. What a great idea!

    On Bypass oil filters - to get the small particles

    But the flow through the bypass filter - it would be quite small? should not interfere if dumped into the rocker cover, with all the drain holes in the deuce head and block. Is the concern that it might fill up the rocker covers?

    To bad for the radio.........

    horrors!! chamber of horror!! In fact there are plentiful carcasses, because the de-mil or the old corrosion syndrome often leaves parts missing.

    Pumpless!

    I got out lucky.. a bad fuse. Not that someone didn't try.. I found this 32V/20 amp fuse! Cheezwizz! that was not a smart idea.. The fuse looked decent, but sure enough it was open due to corrosion. I put a 250V 4 amp slow fuse in because I had one on hand. Rather than listen to the annoying...

    DEUCE spin on oil filters!!!!

    This activity is a kind of science experiment. The results should come later in the form of abnormally long engine life (or not) for this usually short-lived engine. Not that anyone is keeping notes..

    Pumpless!

    How true this all is.. My pump did not operate today.. Hauling a M105-load of dirt and post-storm tree branches to the landfill today, "Chief Smoke" was more than a bit sluggish. I do regularly drain the petcocks, but no need this morning.. in any case after that was done, stopped at the...

    On Bypass oil filters - to get the small particles

    Some go across the stock oil filter, and some go between the oil pressure line and the oil return line with an orifice to limit flow. It probably does not matter which is selected as long as the oil goes through the filter.

    Metalic black oil?

    does not sound good. an oil analysis would be a good idea, and certainly cleaning that out as well.

    I have done almost 20,000 in 3 years. I intend to keep the truck as long as I can, and to enjoy it. i sometimes wonder what will become of it if I am gone.

    On Bypass oil filters - to get the small particles

    No matter what kind of filter setup, stock, remote spin-on, adapter-mounted, drain or no drainback, guards or no guards.. [][][] PuraDYN: In SAE paper #660081 it states, “Filtration of previously used oil to five microns had no significant effect on wear, but filtration to one micron had a...
