Anyone know who carries Rockwell axle vents for the M35? I'm guessing it's a common vent with many applications. A truck stop maybe?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Its a one way valve. It allows pressure out not in. This is why it is a poor choice for the top of the deuce master cylinder.sailor2000 said:OK... so looking at the Army data... if you run into water with hot axles... the rapid cooling causes a pressure drop inside the axle... which sucks water in past the seals... why not just hose / tube the axle vents up to the top of the firewall????
What air pressure are you using to pressurize the cases? Are you putting a drier on the air supply?cranetruck said:I went all the way on this one for the deuce and plumbed all the vents (exept the transmission) so that they can also be pressurized for fording. Needless to say, the xm757 came this way from factory.
The pressure is 1.5 to 2 psi, enough for about 4 ft of water above the axles.sailor2000 said:...

The fording kit for most military vehicles uses engine blow by to pressurize the engine/transmission/t-case and axles....quote]

The vent on top of the transmission should release the pressure to keep that from happening, but the boot does have to be tight.Barrman said:.....You can tell if it is working right because your transmission shifter boot will inflate like a tire....
