RE: Fuel filter differences
Primary fuel filter adaptors to spin-on are available. No Flames required, just PM me if interested. page 48 Military Vehicles magazine ran an article.
If you're going to pull the cannisters, how about my spin-on oil filter adaptors? This is the time to change over. John Tennis PS, actually, the oil filter gaskets are heavy fiber type and fit into a recess in the original filter base and won't be distorted by turning a loose filter cannister on...
If I could find the exact correct parts at a price I could possibly justify for my WORK trucks I would not have had to start making parts. If one has to have the exact correct winch shear pin with NSN number attached, don't contact me. John Tennis
Rocco, 30000 Btu is correct for M35 cab hot water heaters. Usually made by Hunter Manufacturing. 24 volt and 28 volt same unit, different nomenclature, different date of manufacture. I sell the mounting plate kits to install them on the left fender. John Tennis
Try this for ID on tow bars: You can carry easily=Light tow bar. You can't carry alone very far=Medium tow bar. You wouldn't even think about carrying alone=Heavy towbar JT out.
RE: 6tl
My experiences with Interstate are not good. Exide is a major manufacturer of batteries in the US. They sometimes make Napa batteries. Walmart is helping to destroy middle America(thats us) I never buy their batteries anymore, in fact, I never go to Walmart anymore. I get stuff at True...
RE: Re: Foiled by the m35....again!
Ace and a few of us "old guys" are making a little road trip next year, say 3400 miles give or take a few to Oregon, just to put our wheels in the Pacific. That ought to be excitement enough. Always better to let the trucker get her home the first time. I...
I think the payback comes from 2 points not related to the dollar cost of spin-on adaptor set ups. First, your engine will develope oil pressure much faster with anti drain back filters which means you are running your motor with a pressurized film of oil between metal parts from the git go...
Anyone remember the 5x4 twin sticks in 10 wheelers back in the 50s and 60s? That was a 5 speed with a 4 speed auxillary behind it. one arm through the steering wheel to steer and shift 5 speed and one arm on the brownie(auxillary) I used to do it so anyone can. Or, fit a double overdrive...
RE: Re: RE: Winch brake grrr.. -DDoyle don
I have a bunch of winch equipped M35s and 5 tons, I have always tested my winches for workability as soon as I bought them. But, I never tested them for load holding ability until I got them on a jobsite, usually over doing what the winch was meant...
RE: duce brakes.
If you can locate a pressure bleeder and adaptor to your master cylinder cap thread you will be VERY happy and far ahead of the old school of soldier A and soldier B and the pump and hold, crack the bleeder method. I also do use a clear vinyl hose on the bleeder to catch the...
Those stories are from more than a year ago, really not fair to flog a dead horse unless you have up to date personal gripes about someone. Internet gossip travels a long ways and real fast. I have dealt with USA6x6 Truck 3 times in 3 years and they were fine. None of us are perfect, and this is...
I am running a VIC-1 in my Guntruck, Aces & Eights. By the Grace Of God, the first time I tried it most of it worked, just one mic was bad. I am in Upstate NY, Feel free to PM me, the truck is in the garage and I can answer questions easily. John T
How about an M109A3 shop van?, great sleeping accommodations, plus room to carry much stuff, fun to drive, turns heads, cheap to purchase, I have one for sale. John T
