    Fording Project

    The flow chart looks like this. The 120 PSI air comes into the low pressure regulator and out through the flow regulator to the gauge and the air manifold. From the air manifold all the hoses go out to each gear unit. The solenoid valve just closes the "vent" on the air manifold. I did think...

    It is actually keeping the seals from collapsing allowing in water.

    I'm glad my math worked out. It's nice to know I didn't forget everything from my diving days !

    Those Koreans just rebuilt the Deuce probably with better parts too ! It's like they take something and then make it better. I know a bit about their "Rock" Marines. Basically they copied the US Marines and made them tougher !

    Adding oil to fuel of m35a2

    Actually "Opti-Lube" beats anything on the market. It is the very best diesel fuel additive out there. Independent studies prove it.

    Adding oil to fuel of m35a2

    That is still a valid thing to do with todays "low sulpher" fuels. I actually use "Opti-Lube" in all my diesel fuel tanks. Though I have been known to add a couple quarts of ATF or straight 30w to a full tank of fuel. When the industry first went to the low sulpher fuels we lost over 300...

    Auxiliary heater

    I had thought about it, but due to all the space needed I decided against it. How I plan to use my dual heaters is the original one will defrost the windows while the second will provide cab heat blowing at the floor. I found driving out here in the Northwest in the rainy season you need...

    Fording Project

    Well the gauge I can't help with as I already had it. I would "assume" they would sell for $50.00 or less. The regulator I got on eBay. Remember it is a "low pressure" regulator and you will need the flow regulator also. The regulator cost me $30.00 and the "flow control" cost $20.00 . The...

    Dual fuel tank install

    Gerhard, I owe you an apology. After reading this thread again I see that my responses to you where very abrupt and came across as not very friendly. That was not my intention at all. The only explanation I can give for my rude behavior is due to the medication I'm on. Usually my wife will let...

    Dual fuel tank install

    Since each tank has a pump, when one is in operation it forces the other tanks one-way check valve closed. There is no way any fuel is coming out of the non-used line.

    Dual fuel tank install

    I put that back on post 21. Both diagrams, one electrical and the other the plumbing.

    Fording Project

    The problem you might have with a air-brush pump is volume. Yes it can put out the required 3 PSI but can it deliver it with 10 CFM ? Remember you will be filling all the empty spaces in 3 differentials, one transfer-case and one transmission and bellhousing. All that at a constant rate as...

    Survival 109 build

    It all started about a month ago. I haven't changed anything or any settings but uploading pictures and trying to manage messages has all changed. I truly think there is some kind of virus or worm or whatever floating around here.

    Cold Starting

    I have found that Cummins engines tend to get "cranky" when they get cold. rofl Get it "cranky !" . I know it's a bad pun, but a true observation of this engine manufacturer. Also older 2 stroke Detroits can be a royal pain to start in the cold. The best engines I ever saw that would easily...

    aftermarket m35A2 heater blower motor

    Blow out the motor with a shot of air and then spray in some lubricant like "LPS" or my favorite "Tri-Flow" on the shaft where it leaves the motor . This will help the bronze bushings in the motor.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    I don't know why the frame members alignment seems to fluctuate from one truck to another. I would "assume" that all holes where drilled in a "jig" of some sort thus making sure all pieces where the same. Maybe it has to do with multiple manufactures making the same truck, who knows ? One thing...

    Trans fluid question?

    This makes a lot of sense. You need to mechanically check the temperature. You might just have a faulty gauge or sender. Or then again you could have a plugged radiator. But check it first.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    When I have used other frame members or pieces from other trucks they never align up exactly. So I usually try to fit as many bolts as possible then enlarge the holes that won't fit. This way it still is pretty secure.
