    AN/VRC-47

    You may need to look at some of the other radio configuration technical manuals for that series. Oftentimes the 'base' configuration would have the wiring layout for the various vehicles and the main differences would be the length of the cables from the radio to the antenna mount. When it...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Problem with the custom color match is that you need to have the exact same 'base' mix to get the same color at a different store. When you have the Federal Supply Standard (FSS) paint code number where the first digit stand for the finish (1-glossy, 2-semi-gloss, 3-flat), the second is base...

    All metal bows???

    They may be for the 105 trailers. I know the generator trailers that had MEP-002's and -003's had all metal bows on them. I still have one of them - with two MEP-003A's on it.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I've used that combination in the cargo bed of my deuce. The Behr has flaked off a bit, but the Rustoleum seems to be holding it's own. Still 90+ percent green. YMMV.

    Starting research ld 465 1c turbo upgrade

    The multifuel M.A.N. cycle engines are already pushing the pistons, not punching them. Diesel is already more of a push than a punch and the M.A.N. cycle principle (patented) makes the push longer. Investigate that before you re-invent the wheel.

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    Please do that! Both on horseback and them pulling wagons and stagecoaches is probably in our future.

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    The future of mainly EV's is a government mandate that catered to the climate activists. The money grab is coming from the foreign crude suppliers who see the writing on the wall and want to get as much as they can , while they can! There has not been any new oil refinery built in the USA in...

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    Tetraethyl lead boosted the octane rating, removing it meant they had to refine the gas more to get the octane rating back up. Diesel, to remove 'excess' sulfur, has to be refined twice, first to make it diesel, second to reduce the sulfur to below 15 ppm. Synthetic oils are generally made...

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    As for different brands of gasoline, what goes into the tanker truck is strictly by grade, but they do add about a gallon of the special mix in first (for Exxon, Shell, BP, etc) for each thousand gallons of gasoline. I also saw in one of my daily intel reports the following yesterday, for what...

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    Most gas stations get at least one delivery a day, at the 'contract' rate, which is set one to two weeks ahead of delivery. A 5000 gallon tanker will be enough to fill about 250 20 gallon (average fillup) customers. Depending on the number of pumps they have will determine how fast it is...

    Anyone doing any Memorial Day parade rides?

    Found some pictures before the parade started. None of the deuce I was driving, but that's OK.

    Dead Pilot's M36a2 Build

    The Paperclips on the front bumper can also indicate use and ownership by the USMC or Seabees while on active duty. Paperclips were used to crane lift them onto ships from what I've been told.

    Anyone doing any Memorial Day parade rides?

    We had 12 vehicles in the Aiken, SC parade. They have a video posted on their (USMC Memorial Day Parade) Facebook page. I had some electrical problems and only got dashcam from the driver's side. I'll try to post one of the segments to You Tube and give a link on here.

    Dead Pilot's M36a2 Build

    That truck has 'paperclips' on the front. That would explain why you have parts of the deep water fording kit installed. My 36 came that way. The air was supposed to pressurize the clutch housing, transmission, transfer case and the axles with enough air to keep water out of those parts.
