wow, I can't believe tha amount of progress you have made... It looks great!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Bjorn, I hate to say it, but that little in-line filter is actually correct! I thought the same thing when I got my first A2. I figured someone must have installed an additional filter for some reason, but it is correct. On the positive side, they are easy to replace and they are inexpensive. I have about 20 and I keep a couple in the truck. I have only had to replace them when I do my regular servicing. I know that Chris had several clog on my old tan M925A2 when he drove it up from Winslow's place in NC.Hey Chris, that filter looks like a mistake, hard to believe that it was installed in a production vehicle...also, it should be a water separator. If you have the space, go for the Racor type used on the Hemtt trucks, should be surplus units around for about $35 that only need a cleanup and new drop-in cartridges (love those top loaded filters!).
I have all the info on the Racor filters if you go that route.
Hey Mike,I notice all the tires are inflated, and I remember the early pics showed flat tires. Did you hook up the CTIS, or are you running without the CTIS for now?
Hey...I screwed up and forgot about this Actually...5 days after I posted that my grandfather started getting really weak and sickly and he just passed a few days after Thanksgiving so I was preoccupied with him to that point. Went back home twice during that period but never thought about the winch and boom. I'm going on my week off tomorrow and will snap some pics fer ya!HEY! Lemme get back to you on this chain hoist you are talking about. Its not like a little hand operated crank thingy with a little short boom on it is it???? I have something like this that I picked up with a lot of junk.
Also...if you see something for sale at one of our locations like Polk or Beauregard here in LA then bid and lemme know so I can pick it up for you and find a way to ship. I have a camp on Toledo Bend lake and either one are on the way and I do run up there and back once or twice a month. I'm sure everyone here would do the same for each other too I would hope.
Lemme see if I have that hoist. I wanna say its a cable though???
Ditto Duncan, same thing with mine too. It was like cleaning cholesterol out of a fat mans arteries. That crap comes out in chunks Chris and may take some time to clear out.Chris, one thing you should check before going all out on tank cleaning, whats the state of the fuel lines themselves? When the truck has been stood for a long time with diesel left in the lines, that will have turned to goo. With the fresh diesel now flowing past itll slowly break up that residue and clog the filter.
We get it, advertisements are annoying!
