    m915a1 headlights stoppped working

    The front markers are not the same wire as the headlights, remember the main light switch feeds the high/low beam (dimmer) switch, before going to a bulkhead connector, then to the lights.

    m915a1 headlights stoppped working

    Taillights or stoplights? If taillights, the light switch is bad. If stoplights, check to see if you pulled the trolley brake lever a little.

    m915a1 headlights stoppped working

    If it were me I would start by checking for 12 volts at the dimmer switch with a multimeter. If none, problem is upstream at the crappy light switch. If 12 volts at dimmer, problem is downstream, like disconnected wires, bad bulkhead connector, bad grounds.

    They stopped working AFTER you changed the bulbs? Hmm.

    M35a2. u bolts source

    Better check the used on code, the 108 may have longer shanks due to that spring stiffener on top, or whatever that thing is called.

    m915a1 changed oil,blue smoke all the time.

    Likely crusty electric connections on the sender or gauge. Engine does not change temp that quickly.

    Interior paint colour for V100?

    Yes, FS 24533. Just had Sherwin Williams make some up. Sea Foam Green. RAPCO has it too in enamel.

    soft pedal

    Need to bleed wheel cylinders as well. You will get lots of air out.

    m915a1 changed oil,blue smoke all the time.

    Start with the easy fix, the turbocharger. See if the seals are blown. Also, run it hard and see if that changes things.

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    I couldn't get the secondary gasket in place either from underneath. Had to unbolt the filter housing from the engine and flip it.

    Tom's Overdrive kit

    It would be nice if Tom "bundled" the design drawings, suppliers, web page design, etc, and offered it for sale to some of the established vendors (hint hint)?????

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    I can reach my arm through the filler neck to the bottom to feel for yuck. If you are Popeye you may have to pull the fuel pump to reach in to inspect.

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    Looks typical for 8 years. I flushed the tank with E85. Took it off and filled it with 15 gal E85 and let it slosh around in my pickup for a few days. Dissolved all the goo and slime. Then drained, flushed with water and let dry thoroughly in the sun.

    M977 radiator

    Agreed, time to remove that monster and take to an industrial radiator repair facility. Not a neighborhood radiator shop. Your radiator has clogged arteries.

    Recovery of Director Van M259A1 from NASA

    Thanks for posting. Maybe that magnesium story is BS. I read that on one of the Nike Herc vets websites.

    Recovery of Director Van M259A1 from NASA

    Had a successful recovery today of a Nike Hercules "Trailer Van Director M259A1" from the NASA Johnson Space Center. Went a lot better than my last recovery there when the alternator on my 915 caught fire at the security checkpoint. This time zero problems. NASA was using this until very...
