    Fuel mixing guide

    Um... no... ATF has always had friction modifiers... It's not to "enhance" friction but modify it... Case in point... The LMTV is spect with 15W40 engine oil... shifts like a mule kicking your butt... Use ATE and this smooths out the shifts... That is why ATF is ATF... ATE is a hydraulic oil...

    batteries in lmtv?

    Adding a AC unit really will not effect Reserve Capacity or Cranking Amps. It's more for if you want to run things when you are not running the engine.

    batteries in lmtv?

    Thinking about it I think it may work better is you used 2 24 and 2 24F batteries. It would space the post farther apart and you would'\n't need to bend the cables as much... Maybe next time.

    batteries in lmtv?

    The 24F was made for Ford since the positive post on the 24 would be next to the body and could short out. So they had the post swapped so the negative would be next to the body.
