Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
It's "Goming"Didnt feel like loading the trailer for a quick trip. But in reality is it coming or going?
A little WD-40 should fix that.Did a system function check on the new-to-me M1089A1. Everything works but the rear lift is sticky when lowering.
combine manual with automatic that replaces the Burkett? SeeHad some issues with the Burkett fan air solenoid working and allowing the cooling fan to run at the right time. At first I would pull over and take off the airline to the fan to release the air pressure and the fan would start working again. This was on my way up to the Overland Expo. After hearing this was happening to 1951M1078 I also decided to look for a solution to manually activate the fan in case of any issues. I was able to find a Burkett valve, but it was the last that company had in stock.
Just I installed a override button last weekend on mine for the fan. Just route the main airline to this pneumatic switch, the the other line back to the Burkett solenoid under the passenger's side desk where the main line was removed. If the fan does not come on when it is supposed to it is easy to just turn it on. I have the new Burkett solenoid, but I like having a fail safe.
I am trying to locate more of the Burkett solenoids. This pneumatic switch I bought from Amazon, Temco - PV0170

Not sure why you are thinking this is "dangerous" as this is a Auto/manual solution. If the solenoid is not functioning in the auto mode you can manually overide it without having to get out of the truck.I was thinking (dangerous)....
It might be handy to have Auto/Manual On/Manual Off (ei: fording) all one one toggle.
Coachgeo, so the link you shared to 1951M1078 (Randy) is a aftermarket replacement for the Burkett solenoid to keep only the full auto. It is not a full auto/manual solution.combine manual with automatic that replaces the Burkett? See

LOL, I should have made that more clear.Not sure why you are thinking this is "dangerous" as this is a Auto/manual solution. If the solenoid is not functioning in the auto mode you can manually overide it without having to get out of the truck.
That should be correct.Coachgeo, so the link you shared to 1951M1078 (Randy) is a aftermarket replacement for the Burkett solenoid to keep only the full auto. It is not a full auto/manual solution.
correct... and combine that with your solution and you get manual and automatic. Tried to go back and reword my post to make it more clear that you get both an improved burkett and a new manual set up "if you combine your and Randy's solutions", but the stupid settings here lock out any editing of your own post too quick thus could not edit it.Coachgeo, so the link you shared to 1951M1078 (Randy) is a aftermarket replacement for the Burkett solenoid to keep only the full auto.

New paint. I’m lucky to have an employee with painting skills.
