    help please with diesel generator add-on advice

    RE: Re: enclosing the genset That is a good idea, but how to hinge it? I do not see how to swing it up, there's not much room, can you help me understand? In any case I posted the pictures so far here: http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/mil/m35/gen/index.html I have done a little more work since...

    Radio headset storage/hanging

    fits in the corner if you have a hardtop. The hook could be menacing I suppose, but it's way in the corner away from personnel. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/modules/PNphpBB2/files/100_2312_208.jpg

    Power difference after FDC bypass

    short answer: use diesel in your multifuel engine when the FDC is bypassed. long answer: Supposed to burn diesel according to the stickers on the Toole-rebuilt engine with FDC bypassed that says "diesel fuel only". That sticker came from the army after they did the work. Their work including...

    Suggestion for Locking Hubs

    de-splined or lockouts won't do any good for mileage on a sprag-type because the driveshaft and diff gears will still be turning and that is where the energy is used up. They will help with the 'wig-wag' of the steering when turning. I have been keeping my splined hubs in a box inthe truck just...

    help please with diesel generator add-on advice

    RE: Re: enclosing the genset About the batteries, I want to put a small spin-on external oil filter where the genset battery tray is, and also, why have to deal with yet another battery?

    help please with diesel generator add-on advice

    enclosing the genset Got the beast mounted, plumbed, and powered up today. It starts using the truck's "lower" 12V battery and then recharges that battery. After a few stutters due to getting first-time fuel into it from the truck's tank through the new lines, it hums right along. I used 3/8"...

    Power difference after FDC bypass

    Could one hook up a bypass for the FDC, and have the FDC connected at the same time? Just putting a valve in the inlet to the FDC and in the bypass, so you could run straight, or run FDC if you wanted just by opening and closing a couple of valves? probably no reason why that would not work...

    RE: Class 4 receiver hitch That's a very nice job! I have to admit is is more versatile than my box hitch. I know nothing about hitch classes, assuming 5/16" plate box attached with the pintle bolts and the pintle shaft bolt in the shot below, what class would this one be? I only pulled a...
