    Gas Powered Air Compressors

    These have 4 cylinder engines. They look like the 4A032-4 listed on the Saturn site. Smitty

    Gas Powered Air Compressors

    Thanks for the info. I just did a search on their site and found what I need. It looks like these engines were used on quite a few things. Smitty

    Gas Powered Air Compressors

    Picked up two 15 CFM gas powered air compressors today. They're both HGR5-8M-1 compressors and have Teledyne WFI "military standard engines" on them. I messed with the first one for a while this afternoon and was able to get it fired up. Does anyone happen to know where I might be able to...

    U joint lubrication secrets???

    Re: RE: U joint lubrication secrets??? Spicer recommends greasing their u-joints until you have fresh grease coming out each seal on the caps. Sometimes you need to drop the vehicle out of gear and tap the cap that is not getting grease flow with a mallet. Unless the u-joint is a...

    101A2 Parts Compatability Question

    My EUC was finally approved and I brought home the first 101A2 yesterday. I was surprised at how well it hides behind the 1031, I can't even see it in the mirrors while I'm driving. The first one has complete side racks while the second is missing the end gates. It looks like I'm going to...

    What do you list a 1028 contact truck for the title???

    My research has found that the pto driven generator in the 1031 is not also an arc welder. There is a spot to plug in an arc welder on the panel, but it is a seperate unit. I looked for a long time to find the cables that worked off that panel on the 1031 before I found out the truth. I was...

    Hummer Wheels on My M1008! PERFECT!

    decodeme2 - If you have a chance, could you figure your fuel mileage with the addition of the new tires? I like the look of the truck! Smitty

    Speed/Gearing/Tire size?!?!

    That's pretty impressive. The 38" tires will drop the RPMs to just under 2700. That turbo might have a lot to do with it. If the turbo makes that much of a difference I need to look into one. Have you done anything else to help get these numbers? My experience with larger tires and the lift...

    Speed/Gearing/Tire size?!?!

    The 700R4 is a good transmission, just stay away from the first few years of production (they hadn't worked out the bugs yet). If you go this route, try to find one from a truck with a 6.2 and grab all components from the donor vehicle. Another option would be the 4L80E but the swap would...

    Speed/Gearing/Tire size?!?!

    A lift and bigger tires will not really drop the RPMs enough to make much of a difference. The weight of the tires and the increased wind resistance will work against an increase in gas mileage. I tried 35" tires on my 1031 and ended up dropping back down to 33" tires. An overdrive...

    Allison Trans fluid type????

    It sounds like you're looking at a 10 weight hydraulic oil. You can go to www.allisontransmission.com to check their recommendations on oil and service intervals if you know the transmission model. Be careful, because the military may have specified a special oil that is not recommended on...

    Virus???

    Re: RE: virus I've always suspected this was the case... My daughter picked up a virus on "Myspace" and the main thing that kept popping up on her computer were advertisements for an anti-virus program called "WinAntiVirus". Go figure.... Smitty

    101A2 Parts Compatability Question

    Thanks guys. I need to start lining up some parts sources. I submitted the EUC this week and should be getting the trailers after it's approved. Are the components to install a top impossible to find? Smitty
