    Radio Interference Issue Solved

    Thanks. Can you post the procedure for eliminating the low coolant circuit? I'm not sure I know where that circuit board is located.

    Radio Interference Issue Solved

    Is that low coolant circuit (idiot light) really necessary if a cab water temperature gauge is installed? Like yourself I plan on multiple radios in the future and would like to eliminate all RF noise. Thanks for the discovery.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Guys, please excuse me for being so dumb, but what is wrong with sourcing a Level 2 K-case 700R4 from Bowtie Overdrives for $1650.00? This unit is rated to handle 450 HP and 450 FPT. It is the exact unit that I have bolted behind my P400 engine going into my M1028...

    NP208 - can't get the rear housing off

    I really like that Nazi HEISSLUFTGEBLASE PHLG heat gun.

    NP208 - can't get the rear housing off

    Yeah that black RTV has it stuck. Try a thin putty knife to get it started. I believe once it starts coming loose it will be easy from then on. I wouldn't put heat on it. Hope this helps.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    I purchased a Level 2 K-case 700R4 with special output shaft from Bowtie for just under $2500 including crating and freight from California to Kentucky. Is this more than you want to spend?

    M1009 Fan clutch question

    Yeah I think I will stick with my new Derale fan and GM NOS GM clutch. I believe my P400 will have enough horsepower to turn the thing.

    M1009 Fan clutch question

    I’ve often wondered how much horsepower is required for a fully engaged fan clutch. I’m certain engine horsepower is lost during full clutch engagement because the “pull” on the engine can be felt when the clutch engages, especially going uphill. I’m toying around with leaving off the entire fan...

    M1009 lacks power

    Yes I would like to see photos and have more information as well. I have always thought that by removing the fan/fan clutch, and replacing it with remote fans restores horsepower.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Yes just a little. I've been extremely busy the past few months helping manage my wife's company, but have almost completed the mock-up of the custom aluminum bracket to hold the Spinner oil filter. I had to draw the bracket to scale and then custom bend 3/16" 6061 aluminum to fit. I used a...

    M1009 lacks power

    Guys, quit PM'ing me asking about my turbo encabulator. Here's the video which explains it fully - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXW0bx_Ooq4

    M1009 lacks power

    I still think his problem is a stopped-up turbo encabulator. I had a similar power issue until I cleaned mine out. Now my truck runs like a scalded dog.

    M1009 lacks power

    Sounds like the turbo encabulator could be stopped up. Have you checked that?

    Need to move rolling, non-running M1009 from Nebraska to kentucky

    I need to move a rolling, non-running M1009 from Wahoo, Nebraska to Paris, Kentucky. Truck is clean and in a driveway in a residential neighbrhood. Wahoo is 30 miles north of Lincoln, NE and I-80. Paris is 18 miles north of Lexington, KY and I-64/I-75. Truck is missing motor so the weight...

    Oil pump check valve?

    Eddie & Gimp - Thanks for your replies. The whole reason for considering a pre-oiler pump is to add as much protection as possible to my P400 engine build. Everything I have read indicates that the majority of wear in an engine occurs at start-up before the bearing surfaces are flooded with...

    Oil pump check valve?

    Hey Rick - thanks for the reply. The reason I was asking about a check valve is because I am considering installing an aircraft pre-oiler pump to flood the bearing surfaces with engine oil prior to cranking. I have sourced the pre-oiler pump and worked out how to suck engine oil from the oil...
