    Need help locating a TM or civilian user's manual for this DC Impact Wrench

    Herte's the deal: The 110 VAC plug goes in the wall. Do I connect the plug between the inverter and the capacitors during charging? The unit came with this disconnected. Plus, what about the switch on the back of the pistol grip? Up or down? I'm thinking all switches shoulkd be connected. The...

    Fuel leakage/drainage issue from 6.2l filter system

    Steel soldiers and their allies, I own a 1986 and a 1993 USAF van with 6.2 L engines in them. I drive the 1986 less often and may sell soon, but not before I solve a problem. The vehicle has extremely hard starting if it sits a week or so. If I start it daily, it's like summer. It has good...

    Need help locating a TM or civilian user's manual for this DC Impact Wrench

    Howdy fellow mechanics, I have purchased this DC IMPACT wrench and need to find a manual for it or a TM, which ever is available. This impact wrench is heavy duty and can be used on HMMWV or MRAP. NSN is 5130 01 536 6492. I don't expect it for free, but a reasonably priced one would be nice...

    Honest opinion CUCV M1009

    What a truck! Very nice! Your situation is similar to mine: I have some classic cars that I have spent some serious money to restore, so if I sell now., I sell at a loss. The only place where you could sell that car for near its price is Barrett-Jackson, on TV. In addition to everything...

    Food grade 90wt. gear oil

    It seems to me that you should be able to get an MSDS sheet on this oil, especially since it is food-grade. This might help set your mind at ease and prevent damage to the machinery.

    mixing new unused vegitable oil with new unused motor oil

    Understand your logic. Then why not centrifuge the mix after the precipitate is created, or filter it out, at the very least? If the precipitate requires methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) or something akin to dissolve the precipitate, then the precipitate in any form is unsuitable for compression...

    mixing new unused vegitable oil with new unused motor oil

    If this will help, I read recently in a 1960 Mercedes diesel manual that it is OK to thin out mixes of summer diesel and other oils with 10% gasoline by volume. At the time, Mercedes warned users NOT to mix premium gas with the diesel fuel because the premium gasoline contained a vanadium...

    block heater

    I just replaced my 1000 w unit after 21 years of service. Warms the engine for good starts in no time! I like clean, quick starts that wear the engine less, so 0W40 oil and warm-ups whenever possible are the order of the day.

    I have a USAF G-30 Cube van (flight line work) The reservoir is cracked but it is a PRESSURIZED tank with a rad cap on it. Are yours like this? That's what I need. Deadlined until then.

    Comparing engine block heater power outputs

    Hello all, I have two CUCV engines, 1986 vintage, in my two military surplus G30 box trucks. backed by THM 400 three-speeds. During this winter, both block heaters have died. Understandable, since I think they are original. They pop the breaker when I plug them in. My friend put a 400W...

    tip for starting diesel even though you have total glow plug failure.

    I have a couple of 6.2L GM diesels in USAF vehicles with broken block heaters (they trip the breakers). It's -30 here and too cold to start, because I have 10W30 dino oil and it's like molasses. I'm ordering new block heaters for both AND a 300W magnetic heater to stick on the oil pan to make...
