    Change Filters - Doubles Oil Pressure?

    My engine is the LDS 4651A, when I got it back at the first of the year, it had been completely drained of all fluids, so the oil is new and now all the filters are new but the change in oil pressure worries me. 65lbs seems really high for the engine to have at idle! Nothing else has changed...

    Change Filters - Doubles Oil Pressure?

    I changed oil and fuel filters on the 5 ton, fuel filters were in terrible shape, especially the secondary ones(hard to reach to change). Oil filters looked pretty good, I let the truck sit for about two weeks to drain the filters. Only had to add a quart or so of oil. Issue is prior to filter...

    Artillery Display

    Could be, I don't even remember the name of the town, but when I stopped at the local 7-11 to ask about the gun, I got a lead on a M37 in town, but it was the guy Dad's so he didn't want to sell it. James G.

    Artillery Display

    I was on my way from NW Arkansas to Dallas via the backroads when I ran up on this piece of artillery on display in a very small town. It is in great shape for just being on the side of the road, not even a broken light! Had to share. James G.

    Drove about 6-8 miles in the wrecker today, just a tour around town, like being in a parade, a very loud parade! Once I got out on the road my fuel gage went crazy and has not been sane since, I guess it has a short, it now jumps everywhere or just shows a full tank? Anyway it was a great...
