Look for wire numbers near the ends. All military vehicles and trailers use the same wire number for the same function. Somewhere in the past, the full table of wire numbers was posted on this site. Hopefully a copy of that table is in the TM Library section.
FDC is prone to leaking fuel into the engine oil, and not just a little drip either. That dilutes the lubrication of critical engine parts and leads to engine failure if not caught in time. It was one of those 'nice in theory, p---poor in practice' ideas. The concept was that GI's could use a...
If you don't have the two types side by side for a comparison I'll go with a natural loss of hearing due to age (whether the loss is in the turbo or the listener remains to be determined).
If you are looking for info on the deuce engine, you should first download the engine TM in the deuce section of the Technical Manuals group of posts. Read through that, then post specific questions on what you need to be doing.
Two is good, three is great! I was in western NC during Helene (at a conference - long story), but at home have one MEP-003a and 100 gallons of diesel, a 5kw commercial gasoline/propane generator, a little 2200 watt luggable generator that runs on non-ethanol gas, and two 20 pound propane...
Yes, Tim and his family are OK, but the store got about three feet of water in it and they are trying to dry everything out. He is on FB and has posted pictures there.
Hugo in 89 was a big storm, dumping 11 inches of rain on Toronto, Canada and finally disapating at the Arctic circle! I was in Saluda, NC for a conference from Thursday through Sunday afternoon. My house suffered no apparent damages, but the power went out around 3 Friday morning and was...
M-36's complete are worth at least one and a half more than an M-35 in similar condition. So, you could get three M-35's for what you have. They are less than 25,000 gross weight, so no CDL required (nationally - Kalifornia is probably worse). They are your trucks, but if you bob them you...
The restriction code is usually printed on the front cover of the TM. Code "A" means anyone can look at/purchase/copy/read/ etc. Any other distribution code is restricted to authorized people only
Now to remember the guy in Texas, or search for one of his posts. But he is probably working in the motorpool in the sky by now. That fellow was in the Texas State Guard.
Long ago there was a guy in Texas that had a full comm setup in a shop van. Can't think of his name at the moment. He may have been the one that originally posted "Sarges Katrina Story". Then there is our buddy in Tenn. that has the Unimog Radio setup - he used to come to the GA Rally, and...
A LOAD IS A LOAD! But, your wire had better be able to handle 50-75 amps on each of those legs. Probably easier to have four 12 ga wires on each leg, each with one outlet, lest the 'magic smoke' make everything for naught.
