    Concerned over oil pressure

    Oh no, tie6044, you made perfect sense. TM9-2320-209-10-2 talks about exactly that, (mis-matched sending units an gauges). I hadn't considered that, I had just made yet another mistake, thinking it should be right straight from the UT National Guard :roll:. But the only way to really know is...

    Concerned over oil pressure

    Ah, my apologies, I wasn't clear enough. I'm concerned that I'm seeing 60-90 psi readings, when the 2 1/2 ton Multifuel TMs state that I should be running at (approx.) 30/40-75 psi. So, to me, the high pressure seems like there is a great restriction in the oil flow - and if there is the...

    Concerned over oil pressure

    I'm a bit concerned with the high oil pressure readings in my 1972 M35A2. The engine is a Continental LDT-465. After an oil change, a split upper canister gasket (over tightened operator error), and a bunch of oil on the engine/drive way I decided that it would be worth my money to purchase a...

    check out my new ride

    That looks really sharp! Antenna, gun ring, front air shifter, winch, convoy lights, and what looks to be IR lights on the front fenders, additional circular side mirrors, solid paint job w/ unit markings not painted over (as good as pictures show), and cargo cover ta-boot! [thumbzup] Hope...

    Suggestions Wanted! Your Input Is Welcome!

    I love the new classifieds! Got rid of the old stuff that kept "refreshing" back to the top.. My only suggestion would be: The New advertisements should show the pictures associated with each ad, otherwise, I feel it's just better just ignore the whole New ads section and look at each of the...

    Battery Disconnect - Installed!

    I took 319's most excellent advice and added support mounts to the cables that are attached to the battery disconnect. I also covered the slave port cables with a hose. I purchased 1' of coolant system hose ($3.00), it was 3/4" outside diameter, and 5/8" inside diameter. Worked perfectly! I...

    Hello from the UK

    Welcome aboard! Hope the place can further your green addiction :] :whistle:

    Battery Disconnect - Installed!

    Thanks. I suppose it's about personal preference. Some prefer the keyed ones where you take the key with you and it cannot reconnected w/o the key. I'd probably lose it since it wouldn't be on my key chain. So, as I said before, I just had to pick what'd work for me. 1. Ease of use. 2...

    Battery Disconnect - Installed!

    Definitely, and yet, here I am broadcasting to the world where I put my battery disconnect. :roll: Though, honestly, I'm more concerned with the curious folks. I'd picture it'd be really easy for someone to open the door, or partially climb in just to look, and move the auxiliary switch only...

    Battery Maintainer - Installed (w/ pics)

    Hah! It is eh? Well it can't be too bad of a spot then - I feel more comfortable about it already now.

    Battery Maintainer - Installed (w/ pics)

    I read a lot of posts around Steel Soldiers about various battery chargers, trickle chargers, and maintainers. Many of them arguing the best solution of either dual 12v or single 24v charging. I feel that the best comment in this continuing debate was made by steelypip...

    Battery Disconnect - Installed!

    I do not consider myself a very "handy" person, but I really, really enjoy doing these little modifications on my M35A2. The truck doesn't require spit and shine as similar work would on new(er) vehicles, but I do try hard to think the project though and what will work best for *me*, and for my...

    Enclosed Trailer, will it 'work' with a Deuce?

    I tend to overlook the obvious - I hadn't considered the short tongue issues. And thank you for the other tips. I don't know the age of the trailer as of yet, so I'll have to be warry rotten rubber. [thumbzup]

    Enclosed Trailer, will it 'work' with a Deuce?

    Well that's fantastic. Thanks!

    Enclosed Trailer, will it 'work' with a Deuce?

    I've seen a local ad pop up for this enclosed trailer (see attached images) and it got me thinking. With my Deuce I don't have a lot of storage space for tools, parts (especially parts!), tow bars, and many other things. I’d have to put such things in a box in the bed, which then I’d need to...

    24V fan installation, w/ pics!

    Sorry for the long delay in my response... :oops: But to answer your question, honestly I have no idea. I can rotate the fans all the way down until they're blowing air on the windshields so I'm sure they'd be at least a little effective. Though, nothing can beat a proper cab heater and...

    Why, an informative and entertaining article on something you've already done, of course! :mrgreen:

    24V fan installation, w/ pics!

    HAH! My old windows were in sorry shape. They had fogging from sandblast over-spray from whoever CARC'd the truck (the drivers looked like a white fog from the outside, but didn't seem bad at all when sitting in the truck - except I'd hate trying to see through it if the sun was "just so")...

    24V fan installation, w/ pics!

    Oh definitely! I find I aim them a little lower on my face as to not dry out my eyes! Feels great though. Once I get the VIC going noise (truck or fan) shouldn't be a problem. Thanks! The text write up on these kinds of posts is always what holds me back. I want to be thorough and clear in...

    24V fan installation, w/ pics!

    Starting last month I knew I wanted to put my Deuce in the my town's Independence Day parade - I also knew that I tended to get just way too warm in my truck (engine heat and weather contributing) - especially while needing to man handle the manual steering. Tilting out the windshield would...
