You misunderstood. We traced the camo pattern out in chalk then numbered each pattern 1, 2, or 3. Then we sprayed the chalked pattern with whatever color the number called for. So we were spraying over the chalk.
Not trying to argue; but I will say that I helped paint an entire Mechanized Infantry Battalions vehicles in woodland camo. Not a single chalk line was visible.
You’re making me dig way back in my memory bank! I thought the cable had 2 threaded ends but if there was a clevis end it may have been at the actuator handle in the cab. If I remember correctly, the cable that goes to the shoes has a threaded end & is routed through that arm (item 27) that...
This is the first I’ve heard of all fluids being drained without so much as a rudimentary preservative being put in.
I wonder if these vehicles were in the beginning of a dismantle for spare parts, demil prep, or scrap process when the decision was made to sell as surplus?
If you put fluids...
I spent 21 years in the Army and quite a bit of time around the 2.5 tons. I don’t recall the air lines ever freezing - and I was stationed where the temps were often 20 or below.
If you are getting water in the tanks you have an issue between the compressor & tanks. Double check all...
Three thoughts: 1). You might want to check the injector(s) & injector pump for pressure. 2). Is the turbo or any oil supply lines wet or leaking? 2A). Is dirty oil being spit out the exhaust? 3). How does the air filter look?
Optional idea; wire a relay from the 24 volt system that energizes when you turn the Master Power switch on. Run your 12 volts from the battery to the relay - the relay only closes when the Master Power is turned on. A inline fuse or fusible link are recommended. This way you can avoid...
Update: I received a SF97 in November 2021. It wasn’t correct and had to be redone (3rd time). I worked through GP to get a new one created and they just sent it off to DLA for processing. GP believes they should get it back in a couple weeks then get it off to me after another couple of...
Not helpful; the current market is all over the map. Asking prices are high, in my opinion. The surplus market (sales) is seemingly doing very well & buyers are putting out some big bucks (IMHO). I think you would pay less purchasing through surplus auction. But, you may end up with less...
You touched on the fringe of an interesting topic; M1082A1 trailers.
My trailer doesn’t have the yellow ABS lamp on the trailer. If it’s there, I sure couldn’t find that rascal!
It seems that, unless I can find proof to the contrary, I will need to place a functional ABS lamp on the left side...
