    Backfiring

    The batteries need to be the same, for if one has a different Ampere-hour rating, it will cause one to charge over 12V and the other will never charge up properly.

    Backfiring

    Where gas gets into the oil it means your stock fuel pump diaphragm has failed. Either age or the new gas eats it up. This is why many, many have gone to an electric pump back by the gas by the gas tank to push the gas rather than pull it. This really cuts down on vapor locking as well.

    Backfiring

    No. The filter element is not expensive, NAPA has them.

    Backfiring

    Never was a "ballast resistor" on the firewall. If the is a box inline with the distributor cable, it is a radio interference suppressor. Those seldom give any trouble, and were only used on the very early production. Just about every M37 out there has the newer distributor with the...

    Pretty sure I got (not) scammed by a eBay seller from Japan selling radios

    Since eBay instituted their new funds system for sellers, the $ goes into an escrow account regardless of source and is only disbursed to the seller if things go right. I sell occasionally there and it works just fine, just not if you need quick cash.

    Pretty sure I got (not) scammed by a eBay seller from Japan selling radios

    eBay will cover your purchase if it turns out to be not as described or fails to show up. I've had to file a case or two this year and the $ was back in my account without delay. Pestering the seller for tracking data isn't as reliable as going direct to the carrier with the number. Remember...

    Grease question

    The military here in the US has used the same brown, long-fiber grease for wheel bearings for at least 70 years. It is not a high-pressure application as long as the preload isn't set to excess. I read the Morris data on their product, and it will be fine in any application in your tactical...

    That's a fair price for DOT 5.

    Thoughts on dino 80w90 vs 75w90 full synth for diffs/TC ?

    If it leaks a little bit now, it will leak a lot then. My experience, at least.

    Switch ID request.

    60PSI senders were stock on M37, M38, M38A1, M35, M54, and a few others. It all depended on the target oil pressure range of the engine. The same one would be on an M151, the other unit with multiple connections is the pressure switch that turns off the electric fuel pump if the engine stops.

    Windshield question

    Rafael, I will send you a good used outer windshield for the shipping $. A good, rust-free Arizona one will save you a lot of work. Please let me know.

    M715 wiring diagram

    That vintage diagram lists the horrible turn/stop switch system. Overly complex, parts are fast becoming unicorn status. Most of us convert it to the standard flasher and switch handle found on just about every tactical nowadays.

    Brake lights stay on.

    There is a chance the pushrod between the M/C and pedal is set a bit too long, and not releasing a small pressure in the system. That catches a lot of folks. It has to 'wiggle' a bit when released. Also, having the shoes adjusted a bit too tight will cause them to swell up, get tighter, and...

    I had a Mack M62 wrecker upgraded to a 543, original engine was the 6602 Gasser. My Kaiser M54A1 was factory with the ENDT-673. So...

    M1078 air brakes

    Probably done by a forklift at the surplus yard, moving or loading it.

    Remove surge brakes from

    Ball hitches are strictly prohibited here at the radio ranch. Pintle hook and lunette ring only. Even have one for our Tiguan. Really cuts down on friends wanting to borrow trailers.

    WA state cancelling MV titles

    Ol' Jack Tomlin of Toeele, UT drove many MV's for years without plates. Just a camo shirt and drive, as MV don't have plates in service anyway...

    Tail Lamp Bulbs

    Lamp #623 is a good sub for the marker/tail/BO position. Same lineup for the front lights as well.
