  1. Third From Texas

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    It certainly is at he bell housing but I swear I saw this as being part of the fording procedure. Plug it for fording, normal operation open (as pictured) to breath. But it wouldn't be the first time I remembered wrong. Of course I can't find a thing in the TM about fording procedures now... ;)

    I realize that given the current cost of fuels (we're looking at you, Brandon) that it's hard to imagine dumping 50 gallons of diesel (ie: retasking for other burning purposes) but there is absolute no chance I would risk my CAT engine tinkering with it to actually run as fuel.
