Picked up a spare engine with what I thought was a C turbo. After getting it home and looking closer I'm not so sure. All Ive see before were C and D turbos, and I know this isnt a D, but not so sure its a C either. Could it be an LDS turbo from an older 5 ton?
Has a rebuild tag from Tead dated...
We made it, but unfortunately the Cobra didn't. In line for the Huey now. Then will stop by and see Andy, Ron, and anyone else who made it.

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to stand down. Singled the old girl out and am now having stability issues. Until I get it figured out no long trips for me. I'll be there in a civy vehicle for the chopper rides though.
Thanks for the pics, nice to see they are still upgrading these great aircraft. Will be a truly sad day if/when they all return to your facility for permanent storage.
OK so I took everyone's advice and left the fuel alone for now. Took it back out and tried to drive by the gauge. Very hard to keep below 1300* unless on flat land. Will get the wife to ride with me tomorrow and shoot a video showing an overview of speed, RPMs, and EGT. Also I looked around the...
Yea I blew out the air filter while I had it off installing the TC. Just really surprised me how little effort it took to hit 1250*, skinny pedal not even close to the floor. I know I can safely drive it as is (been driving it for months, no boom yet) but want/need to idiot proof it for my...
I bought a late model M35a2c out of WR a while back. Truck was bone stock, FDC still hooked up, safety wire still on the IP. I was always amazed at the power the truck had, rarely had to downshift pulling a grade. Decided to bypass the FDC before it started making oil, and since every other...
Thanks for the info, looks like NAPA carries it as well.

I have a question for those of you who have converted to the air style brake light switch on late model M35a2c trucks. Did you replace both switches or just one, and if one which airpack did you choose? I don't see the point in installing 2 switches, other than redundancy if one fails.
My...
I plan on adding a 2nd alternator for 12v accessories to my deuce and am kicking around the idea of dropping the 24v alt and using two 12v alts, one being an isolated ground like the CUCV charging system. I dont really have the room for a 3rd battery right now (2 Hawkers in the battery box so...
Got to be nice to actually see something leave that place, makes up in a small way for all the ones that wont...
Didn't see any armament on the AC-130, are they removed before arrival?
After spending the last several days trying to break down a set of A3 wheels I gave up and took them to a shop. Hated having to pay someone but my 3/4" impact wouldn't budge them, not even a 6 foot cheater bar. So the guy at the shop said they charge $30 to take old tires off and put new tires...
Thanks for confirming that, was getting mixed results after doing a google search (never thought to check TM...aua).
Is this a common practice for the military to reverse the tread, or are mine just oddballs?
Are M1101/02 (HMMWV) tires directional?
Wasn't sure where to put this since technically they are HMMWV tires. Anyway are these tires directional? Noticed on all my trailers the tread pattern on one side is opposite of the other side. Even the set I put on my 1028 two are what I would call...
