Kenny (Recovry4x4) brought something up a few weeks ago... cranking to build up oil pressure. I noticed yesterday when I started the deuce that even with the filled oil filter (NAPA 1729xd), it took about 8 seconds before oil pressure began to build up. The reason, instant start. The truck had...

There is a lot of talk about potential problems with dry starts and poor filtration lately, but what about running an engine below operating temp? If someone made an engine pre heater, we'd probably "know" all about it too. So, what about runninng an engine at 120-140°F for an hour or so, what...

It'd be cheaper to move to Hawaii then to bring it here. :-)

I think Keith is discussing his M37 system, a generator with a separate regulator. No "exciter" wire.

You may have to polarize the generator. Let me check up on the procedure and get back with you. Also, of course make sure the cables are good, ring 'em out with your VOM.

Mike, it all comes down to selling. :-)

Patrick, put the filter in parallel with the heater. Think of the pressure drops across each as the voltages across resistors in a voltage divider, in series there may not be enough pressure to "operate" either one. Fig "A" above.

An impact is the best way to go on those plugs IMHO.

The cable that grounds the batteries to the frame comes off first. After that you don't have to worry about shorting the positive terminal to the frame accidentally with the wrench or whatever tool you are using at the time (the ground terminal can be shorted to the frame at any time without...

Today I was working the crane for the first time in a week or so and when I moved the boom a couple of small bird eggs fell out. After I was done, all openings got some duct tape to keep nesting birdies out.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Engine Oil It monitors the fuel viscosity, and adjusts the stop block accordingly, which determines the max fuel delivery to the Fuel Injection Pump. Its purpose is to provide a rather constant power output of the engine based on the BTU (heating) value of the fuels specified...

Re: RE: Engine Oil 13 gallons!!! So you had some 8 gallons of fuel mixed in?

I'm not a professioinal painter by any stretch of the imagination, but I have had good results with it. I have used it on wood, painted surfaces, rusted surfaces, aluminum yellow chromate primer and even bare metal. It makes a good uniform base color for the top coats. I brush it on to work it...

Here is a schematic, just follow the connection on top from GEN on the top right to BAT in the lower left in the picture. Same wire from generator to battery, with a low resistance to monitor current and an SCR switch to turn the circuit on/off as needed by the regulator.

The regulator regulates the generator, so the voltage at the batteries is the actual generator output.

If there is a separate charger for each battery, there is no problem at all using one for 12 volt accessories. The problem appears when the two batteries are charged by one charger putting out 28 volts with the batteries still connected in series. If they do not have the same internal resistance...

Not sure what you mean with "sealed system", the DC generator is regulated by the externally housed regulator in the M37 (also my M35 25 amp system). You can still monitor the performance on the dash gauge, which shows the same voltage as you would measure at the batteries, which in turn is the...

Between the oil canisters and the oil cooler (1/2 quart), you are looking at about 3 quarts.

That would be 22 quarts (about 21 liters) and you are welcome. Remember that there are two drains on the oil pan....
