    Self recovery winch: loosing oil through "overpressure" valve

    I think the oil is coming from the hydraulic motor. Must have a bad seal which is allowing seepage from the hyd reservoir to the winch gear case.

    NO CHARGE staying on.

    Looking at the troubleshooting guide for the LBCD on the Niehoff website, the pinout for the device indicates the wire going to the dash is "charging system indicator ground signal". To me that means if that wire between the LBCD and the indicator panel is inadvertently grounded somewhere, the...

    NO CHARGE staying on.

    As you know the Niehoff alternator provides separate charging for 12 and 24 volt circuits. Maybe the LBCD is detecting that one of the two charging circuits is not providing juice. The Niehoff website has detailed troubleshooting info specific to each model alternator.

    So, OP, is there a happy ending for this, or has your trailer become the problem of the taxpayers of the State of Arizona?

    Tire and Wheel replacement on a TSC-118 trailer

    This is not an older type rim, it is still very widely used on forklifts. I just installed a 6.50-10 on my Cat V40. Takes about 20 minutes. Any shop that works on forklifts will be able to help you if you can't diy. I'm sure you realize that trailer is "not highway service" right?

    Educate me on HMMWV 6.5L GEP conversion?

    Your question is not clear. The only difference between a GM 6.5 and a GEP 6.5 are internal casting changes to prevent cracks. Possibly you mean 6.5 NA to 6.5 turbocharged?

    Gmc m211 questions

    Looks great. These typically don't do well with big tires, engine transplants, etc, so we tend to not advocate that.

    Gmc m211 questions

    These trucks are always low miles so unless the shoes are oil or brake fluid soaked, all you will need to inspect/replace/rebuild are the other items. Those parts can be obtained new if they are rusted.

    M-37 Electrical draw with everything off

    Welcome. Seems like the only remaining item you have connected is the voltage regulator. There is a large noise suppression capacitor inside, sounds like it may have degraded and is passing electricity.

    Need info, corvair powered vehicle identification

    No big deal. I don't get too excited about prototypes that were FAILURES. They played no part in military history other than amusing some technicians at the proving ground.

    Dude 1442 people have viewed your thread, I would call that interest. Just because people have not chimed in don't mean a whole lot. I was GOING to post that those headlights kinda burn out alot, but did not want to rain on your parade.

    Carefree Hwy is Hwy 74 on the northern outskirts of Phoenix. Should be no problem to get roadside tire service that close to Phoenix.

    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    Yes but the '95s would have been factory equipped with GM engines, and the '02's with GEPs, but either could have been repowered with either at reset. The GEP engine is greatly improved over the GM, although both are just fine.
