    Leaking oil filters at base

    OK, FOR EVERYONE, after much searching, I finally found what I was looking for. It's in TM 9-2320-361-20 - chapter 3 - pages 10, 11 & 12. These are pages 314 - 316 in this manual. 3-7 Engine oil filter and body maintenance and it gives exploded diagrams. Draining Oil Oil Filter Removal Body...

    Leaking oil filters at base

    Ok, I have all the manuals from rdixiemiller on CD. Can some one KINDLY direct me to the correct manual for the fuel filters. I've been looking at several over the past hour and I guess I'm just to stupid to find it. Any help will be appreciated. I seem to have oil leaking out of the bottom...

    Diesel Fuel Trends..

    Bjorn, Well that's kinda scary. Perhaps I've been misinformed (not intentionally) by the resturant owner. Perhaps he meant 35 lbs instead of 35 gallons. NOW I'm going to have to go back and have another chat. I'd been holding off because I'm not quite ready to start doing bio. But if all I...

    WARNING - SPLIT RIMS AND JACK STANDS!!!

    A buddy of mine in Germany told a similar story regarding split rings. In this incident, the soldier did about the same thing. However, the split ring broke and flew across the shop and decapitated him. Needless to say it ruined EVERYONE'S day in the shop. To say nothing of the dead guy...

    Do you need a working in tank FUEL pump??

    You guys ARE NOT going to believe it. I FOUND the company that makes the in tank fuel pump and they are STILL in business and STILL selling the pumps!! I'm so stoked. I just spoke with Jim OShea at Olympic Controls company who bought out Tokheim in 1999. Here is their web page. I'm posting...

    Multifuel engine intercooler

    Bjorn, Let me get a meter and we will compare. And about that not running a filter but just a screen. I ran my Harley for nine years WITHOUT a foam filter. The filter that HD recommends and sells is a screen with a foam ring that's soaked in oil. I IMMEDIATELY pulled the foam ring off...

    WTB: Starter for M34A2 (I'm OK, Bjorn has one for sale here)

    houdel, EXCELLENT! Sometimes it's the small things that matter. And free diesel. Geez, you can't beat that. WAY TO GO! Now, about taking some pictures... jim

    WTB: Starter for M34A2 (I'm OK, Bjorn has one for sale here)

    houdel, Can't you just get yours rebuilt? I know here in Denver there is a shop that specializes in starters, generators and alternators. Prices are better than buying a new one. They basically take your core and give you a rebuilt one. Unless yours is 'odd or different' in which case it...

    Diesel Fuel Trends..

    Kenneth, Each cube is 35 gallons. At least the ones I am going to be getting are. So 400 gallons would be 13 cubes. NOT that big a deal size wise. I can't remember overall dimensions, but it MIGHT take up the floor of an M105 and you could put a piece of plywood over that and have TONS of...

    Multifuel engine intercooler

    Bjorn, One thing occured to me. I wonder how much difference the altitude will make. I don't know what your altitude is there in VA, but here in Denver, it's at least 5280 ft above sea level. OR MORE. So will the thin air here affect the readings? Just curious. jim

    M1009 to M1008 Bucket seat conversion

    Suburban seats ARE the way to go. I replaced the two bench seats in my 1991 Suburban with four captains chairs. The fronts just bolted up. The holes were already there. No big deal. MAKE SURE you have the 'backing plates' which are oval in shape that hold the bolts to the floor pan. It...

    sibilance...sibilance

    tjcouch, Welcome to our 'Green' family! Hear you 5x5. So, exactly what is sibilance? I guess I could look it up, but you put that in the subject line so I figure you know what it means! Again, welcome to the site. jim

    Multifuel engine intercooler

    Bjorn, I am on ebay right now. What should I look for as far as the amount 'measured' goes? It seems that most appear to be 2 inches of water or less. Isn't that too low to measure what we are attempting to measure? This type stuff is new to me, so speak s l o w l y for this old guy...

    Hunting for parts...

    devilman96, If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the one from TJ's? Is it a new or a rebuilt? And did they have the 'rebuild' kit for the pump? Sorry for all the stupid questions, but I too am going to eventually go with power steering on my deuce. Any info you can provide will...

    Multifuel engine intercooler

    K&N's RU-3260, which is what fits the deuce with MINOR modification flows 1130 CFM clean. Probably a little less when dirty, call it about 900 cfm. So, flowing more air is a good thing, right? Bjorn, if you were closer, I'd love to loan you mine for this test. Of course, I paid about $40 for...

    Road trip to a Machine gun shoot in Colorado

    OK, the Rocky Mountain Fifty Caliber Shooters Association is about to have three machine gun shoots. The first is just south of Ft. Morgan and is on April 14 - 16. The second is at Cheyene Wells (almost Kansas) and is on May 12 - 14 (yeah, I know, MOTHERS DAY weekend). The third is just south...

    5 ton Turbo

    Rich, Which motor is in it? If it's the LDT 465, should be NO problems finding and swapping out a turbo. WORST case would be to remove the turbo before driving it home. BEST case would be to purchase another one (used or new) and swap that out prior to driving it home. I have several people...

    alcohol dispenser

    For INSIDE the cab dispersal or under the hood? The reason I ask is because I ran across a guy who had hooked his 'windshield wiper water' switch to a new pump and stuck a bottle in his glove box. He would open a can of coke and then put it under the dash where he had installed a little...
