Hi all,
I am new here, first off I do not currently own any MV's, but would like to. I am a firefighter/mechanic for the local volunteer fire department. We operate 2 m35's as heavy brush fire trucks, my background as a mechanic, is short, I am an aircraft Mechanic. I volunteer my services/skills to the fire department as everything breaks from time to time. Now on to my questions.
We have a m35 a2c with a LD-465-1 engine in it, current maximum speed with 800 gallons of water on it going down hill with the wind is 45 mph, is there any way to get more speed out of it, all the tech manuals, and even the placard inside the truck state it should be able to attain 56mph loaded, if you have any fixes for this, I would greatly appreciate the advice.
Next the same truck has a several holes in the radiator, does any one have a line on getting a radiator for this truck? the only requirement is it it should have no holes in it.
just as a note, it's not the M35 pictured in my avatar.
Thanks in advance for the help, all advice is appreciated.
