RE: Re: 10 kw tqg pic I have an MEP-003A 10kW diesel genset, and I managed to find a NOS Acousitic Suppression Kit (ASK) for it. The kit quiets it down enough that it's no longer necessary to wear hearing protection near the generator, but it's still not quiet! I'd love to have one of those...

Hmm, in one of the waste motor oil threads I asked about burning a WMO mix in a 6.2. I was told that folks have had good results doing so in indirect-injection diesels, and that the 6.2 is such a beast. Edited to add: Here's that comment...

I'm interested in experimenting with this stuff. I have an air-powered barrel pump that I bought a while back and never used, I just got a used barrel from a friend in exchange for buying him lunch, and I bought a nice barrel funnel to make it easy to dump my drain oil into the barrel. My pump...

Bummer! I'm not at all surprised, though. Well, Harbor Freight sells cheap tarps... ;)

Congratulations on getting your expando to open up! I've always been curious about these kinds of bodies. I've had a couple of shop vans, and in both cases the windows weren't in great shape because the wooden portions dried up, shrunk, and pulled away from the metal frames, so that the windows...

The correct military batteries would be 6TL or 6TN. Doesn't matter what kind of engine or even what kind of truck... they're pretty much universal on anything bigger than a jeep, as far as I know.

Well, I think I'd like to experiment with this once my pile of CUCVs arrives (assuming that any of them will run!). I wonder if I should add any gauges before I try this? I don't like having an idiot light in place of a coolant temp gauge, anyway. Maybe I should also add an exhaust pyrometer...

Does the combustion chamber in an IDI diesel produce an effect similar to the chambers in the deuce's pistons, thus helping them burn a wider range of fuels?

Have any of y'all tried running a mix of WMO in a GM 6.2? I think I'd burn regular pump diesel in my cherished HMMWV, but once the EUC clears and I pick up my four CUCVs, I may have a "disposable" truck to try this in! ;) If an unmodified 6.2 could live on a mix of filtered WMO and pump...

RE: Re: RE: Huge Electrical Plug Needed The part number of Hubbell's equivalent plug is HBL360PS1W. I use one on the AC power cable for my HMMWV's S-250 commo shelter. The shelter's power inlet is a 4-pin circular connector rated at 70 amps, and I used the big pin and sleeve connector on the...

I also followed their instructions carefully, and was later asked to send in the export letter and a color scan of my driver's license (which I had faxed as they originally instructed). I sent in everything they asked for last week, but their web site still lists my EUC status as "EUC revisions...

RE: Re: RE: Huge Electrical Plug Needed I can look up the part number of the Hubbell version tomorrow, if that will help anybody.

Re: RE: Huge Electrical Plug Needed Actually, I'm Mark Blair. ;) It's a 60A pin and sleeve connector. Hubbell (I think) also makes a compatible connector, with more plastic and less metal, which I bought from Grainger for one of my power cables. These things are super expensive when new, so I...

I flew in the Collings Foundation's B-17 a number of years ago. That was FUN!! The B-17 is my favorite multi-engine plane, and the T-28 is my favorite single-engine plane.

Maybe with a flatbed wrecker from the local towing company? I'm not sure if its bed would be high enough to line up with the deuce's bed, but if it was, then the wrecker could winch the shelter up onto its bed, and then you could use a winch or come-along to drag it onto the deuce. I've used...

Re: RE: shelter An S-250 would be awfully small for a deuce; they would normally go on a HMMWV, Gama Goat, CUCV, etc. The S-280 and its various cousins are the right size to fill the deuce bed. I'm not familiar with the S-270 yet. I don't know of any particular sources for them at the...

I didn't bid on any (even though I started a nice beat-the-dead-horse thread about putting one on a deuce or 5-ton), after noticing that they all were over $2,200 as of Sunday evening... even the ones with the crane controls stripped out. I was hoping for a cheap price, and I ended up blowing my...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Twin Turbo Deuce If I understand things correctly, a turbo doesn't add power without sucking more fuel. What it does is to cram more air into the engine, and thus allow you to burn more fuel, and thus get more power. I think that two small turbos or one large one will have the...

The cables are the easy part. Attaching them properly to the bed is where the right parts are good to have. There's this big metal forging (or maybe casting?) on each side for attaching the cables. I don't have a spare set, but here's a picture for reference. If you find a pair of the forgings...
