    Fuel Filter Replacement

    Yes and no. My M934 had same layout and engine, so it would be identical in terms of filtration, but I don't have pics of what I did years ago. I used a different base back then. I'll grab pics of what I do on my 923A2, which will be slightly different....but same general concept applies.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Keep in mind the 7587 has increased filtration capability (4 micron vs the 20 micron you had on there), and if there's junk in the tank, it may clog quicker, despite being 2x the size. Personally, I'd rather change a filter than deal with replacing a pump..

    What's the CAT filter number? Baldwin is usually pretty high quality and significantly less expensive. Get out of the city. It's not going to get any better.

    To a properly aimed headlight, even more so if it's a projector with a sharp cutoff, that 1* is the difference between seeing fine and being blinded. :cool: I think we're talking past each other at this point.... or picking at nits, heh. Easy fix - don't stare at the bright light... Look at a...

    You do realize the center is pointing straight forward toward the camera, while the ones on the side are pointed outwards, off axis, right? :p You'll notice you can see much more detail on the first 2, where the 3rd one washes things out. Refraction/reflection changes based on wavelength. Half...

    AKShUalLy... Blue can cause eye strain. It's easily picked up by the eyes and seen as glare.. For driving, and in most situations, a neutral/natural white is much preferable to a cool white. Sunlight is generally around 5000K-6000K, depending on what they define as 'daylight'..... I'm just...

    You must be forgetting who you're talking to... :ROFLMAO: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/technoweenie-educational-series-vehicle-lighting.201328/ To nitpick, you don't want ANY blue light, you want white light, generally between 4300K and 5000K, although most current LEDs push 6000K...

    Found them. Here's the fun part. Passenger side LED, driver side sealed beam.. Can you tell which one has BOTH on and which one has just the LED? Yeah, that tiny round orange dot? Yeah. That's it.. :ROFLMAO:

    My M934 had the standard halogen sealed beam bulbs in it when I picked it up from Bragg... Those things were damn near useless. I learned from my very first M1009 that the sealed beam bulbs are absolute garbage. I have a pic somewhere of the M1009 with 1 sealed beam and 1 LED. The 1 LED H6054...

    The knockoff trucklites are actually pretty high quality these days. Only thing you don't get in the knockoffs is the heater... which you don't get until you step into the much higher end trucklite models anyway. :D...

    Yeah, when the headlights are visible against the wall in broad daylight... you know they're bright... I do still have to adjust them. Also, turn signals, some of the brighter ones I've found that outright advertise 9-30V.. Most are 12V and say they're 12/24V but will burn out quick... and...

    Heh. I clarified my last post. Deuce will be up for sale. 5 ton is getting ready for the road. With the minimal MPG difference between the 2, and the add'l capabilities and ease of maintenance/replacement parts with 5 ton, the only thing the duece had going for it was slightly smaller size...

    Deuce is gonna be up for sale, as soon as I actually take the time to list it... hah 5 ton is the path forward.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    After letting it cool down a bit... LED headlights, parking lamps, and turn signal lamps. Also, for future reference, probably a good idea to stop trying to unscrew something that feels like it's gonna break, because, it's probably gonna break.. I spritzed everything with a plastic safe...

    Wherever they're cheapest. ;) I had a local filter place that was pretty competitive, but there are some things they're just WAY off on, and these filters were one one of those examples. https://www.amazon.com/BF7587-Baldwin-Fuel-Spin-Pack/dp/B0B1489W5C They're normally $20-25 a piece, so 6...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Good news. That's a 1-14 filter..... Meaning the same thread base as the FB1311 I use, which means you can use the BF7587 (4 micron absolute). The 7587 is close to a foot long... It's a beefy one, with serious filtration capability. Bad news is, the 86109 is 5 nominal, 20 absolute... meaning...
