    M5A1 Stuart Tank at California Event April 19 thru 22, 2023

    I wish I could be there! Here is a video of an oddball diesel engine for a Stuart. I restored it a few years ago.

    How long can I go after Alternator stops working w/four 12v batts? and diagnising/fixing 200amp hummer alt on LMTV

    Mine went 20 miles, night time, headlights on. Transmission went into limp mode but I made it to work. Then I got the pleasure of replacing the broken lower alternator bolt.

    Installing A Detroit 8v71 or 8v92 engine into a 2.5 ton or 5 ton M54A2

    Nope, still have all the fingers. I worked at Sysco Foods under a Husky contract.

    You must have worked for Husky? Me too, and Emerson before. I have two 6-71 TIB engines sitting here. Mike

    Cannon L-66 Load Bank

    It looks very much like the 50 and 100kw Cannon load banks I used a decade ago. I was always replacing a bad fan as I remember.

    Private Snuffy just about got me..... BIG TIME!!!

    What you are calling the pan is really the valve module. The pan is not separate and is not a lot of fun to remove and replace. If you have watched the video on Helicools Helipad on YouTube of his transmission service , you will see that his drain plug is just a fine threaded bolt with a copper...

    CAT ET3 cable plug doesn't fit

    I converted my truck to the 9 pin J1939 socket. I think I purchased it on Amazon about 3 years ago..

    Winch install question/issue

    Make sure the PTO ground wire is attached to one of the bolts on the PTO solenoid cover. It was the only place I could attach the ground that would work. Colt had the same problem when he installed his winch. The entire PTO is metal, so don't ask me why? You should be able to hear the PTO/pump...

    Shift controller on WTEC3 showing -\-

    Known in the trade as a cat's eye. Power failure or low voltage to the transmission. There are two circuits, constant power and keyed power. You will find an issue most likely in the constant power circuit. Or a failed TCU, but not as likely as a battery or wiring problem.

    M1079 only moves in reverse

    Try substituting a known good shifter/TCU with one out of your buddies truck. That is how I save a bunch of time troubleshooting.

    Winch install question/issue

    Looking at yours again, it appears the cable runs on the inside of the pulley.

    Winch install question/issue

    I don't know. What you have does not look right at all to me. What is to keep the cable on the roller if there is any slack?

    Wheel lubing sight glass?

    Stemco wet cap, you can get replacement lens, plug and gasket kits very easily and cheap wherever truck parts are sold. Fill to level with gear oil.

    Winch install question/issue

    I do not quite understand what the issue is. Have you watched this video? If there is another picture you need or something I have not explained well, send me a message and I will see if I can help sort it out. The lift cylinder and the brackets need no modification.

    Stalls Intermittently

    Try some Stanadyne Lubricity Formula additive in the fuel.

    WA State Collector Vehicle Plates and Weights?

    Not true, if you are not providing a commercial service you have a commercial vehicle for private use, no DOT number required. Find a better licensing agent. I was told the same thing, went to an agent with more commercial experience and no problems. Washington does call anything over 16000 a...

    Steering wheel stuck on

    Tap the holes to bigger SAE size, use bigger bolts. Remove turn signal switch first.
