    Recirculating Coolant Heater?

    We use them on our larger diesel fueled generators at tower sites. They do work well on keeping the engine coolant in a warm to hot temperature range. Easier starts and the engine is ready to take the full electrical load when the transfer switch connects the building load to the generator...

    Different Way to Plumb Dual Fuel Tanks

    Are you going to draw fuel from the top of the tanks? If you do, one would think that it should draw an equal amount of fuel from each tank. However, I am not an engineer on this subject. A potential problem comes when refueling, you will need to add fuel to both tanks at each fill up. The...

    Another hi/lo headlight question.

    Good information here on the headlight circuit: CUCV Headlight Circuit I had a Hi-Low switch go bad, until the new one arrived I unplugged the connector on the Hi-Low switch and made a temporary jumper so the low beams were on all the time. Put a jumper between the Yellow wire and the Tan...

    Navy m1009 ?

    I have a Navy M1009 that I got off of GL with 18,000 original miles. The paint was the 3 color camo from the factory. I think it was stored inside most of it's life. The dash pad is still looks like new. The only difference I can find, is that it did not have a bridge plate on the front.

    Battery Wiring Maintenance

    Once again, check you battery connections... not just your MV but your POV as well. Load test your batteries, if you don't have the equipment to test, find someone that does. Even if you need to pay a few bucks, do it! For many of us, winter is coming, test and replace any questionable items...
