not sure about these smaller fans but on big truck when pulling a hill and the fan engages I can feel and see the loss in power. been told 25 hp.
heres a pic of a drive unit on a 250
you dont. untill air can be grabbed from another source if availible to recharge the start tank.
for colder climates this type of starter has not worked very well for us.
the main advantage that i can see is the reduction in tare weight of the truck by using 3 less batterys.
the fact that these trailers have a curb door is the reason I chose the M146 for a camper.
its like having a door at both ends and these trailers are what---- 22 feet long?
I do the same thing with the padlocks. and to get locked in is just about impossible with the latch mech all exposed...
pull the line off the compressor and dump a little air guard in the line.
put the line back on and start the truck.
let it run for a bit and watch your gage.
if its ice the air guard will cut it.
I still have knots on my fore arm where a 8N ford tractor whacked me 35 years ago. I think a multi would have ripped my arm off.
if anybody trys this --- take video for us.
Thats alot like what i used for mine. I dont have the nice edges on mine tho.
my tube grill trucks have the expanded metal welded to the back of the grill.
If these tugs are as heavy as i think they are -- I would think the 1 ton tow vehicle may have its hands full controling the load.
But im not sure what this type of tug weighs.
I have both. on the last project it had a tube style that was a little thin on the bottom.
i replaced it with a flat bar type and added expanded metal to the back side for road debris protection.
I made an extension for my wrecker light set. just used two of the connectors i had and a lot of tape to insulate/protect the back sides of the connectors.
with your standard iv cord and the wrecker light set all you would need is a short coupler to plug the two of them together.
