DD will solve this!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I have a 1987 Air Force M35A2C with the D engine in it. The D engine has the upgraded head gaskets in it and the quieter non-whistler turbo.the c turbo is almost unbearable as far as noise. My "d" turbo is quiet (no designation) . Kind of confusing.
TM 9-2815-210-34, june 1978, paper version. Page 1-26. Paragraph 1-42''Differences between models''. Table 1-1: Generator type.If someone can show me a military TM that backs up this "C=25A generator, D=60A alternator" argument, I'll donate $25 of my own money to that person's charity of choice.
Absolutely right, but there was another turbo model used, for a short time, on the LDT 465-1C before the 3LJ319: the Schwitzer 3LD305. These are almost impossible to find now. I can't even remember seeing one in the last 20 years.FWIW, there is no documentation that has been presented here yet that any turbos were designated a "C" or "D". There were the LDT-465-1C and LDT-465-1D engines. The " C". Was an earlier design. In the same realms, the Schweitzer 3LG319 turbo (whistler) was the first design and was probably more prevalent on the "C" engine. I would imagine that someone drew a connection from that. Until the book is done or DD speaks up, this what we know so.far.
The "C" in relation to model number is heavily documented in TMs. The one slight unknown is when the dropsides came about.
