If my life depended on them, I would buy the military set up. My life doesn't so I am runing the civilian set as it is cheaper. Early on I had some water problem with the civilian, and I still have a little noise on the radio. Not a problem. As a side note the military plugs (good Bosch ones from Ge...

The heat exchanger is a separate piece in the system. It has a flange on front and on back with a copper gasket between the header flange and the muffler flange. 6 bolts each flange. There is a mounting bolt on top holding a mount with a rubber isolator. The heat exchanger is comprised of 2 pipes ru...

Yours is one of the turbo diesels. Suggest you drop down to the pinz turbo diesel forum. They probably have answers

Hi Mike, Here at the ski area we have some lifts with the Tirfor winches for moving the terminal, and one has an identical JET brand winch. I've been told it has been there since the mid 90's and works as well as the the Tirfor, now gotta see if I can get one thru the ski area. Maybe see you at Tref...

And then, if still not working another place is a white molex connector. Remove the dog house cover. On the passenger side where the wire harness and the hydraulic pipes go thru follow the wire bundle down looking for a white moles connector with ... if memory serves therr are 6 wires into and out o...

Clean the spot well. I believe I have used MEK. Then a raft repair kit is usually a pvc based patch like our tops.

A real quick way to check is gound the sending unit wire and check for an empty reading, then open the sendin unit wire and check for a full tank reading. if that is what you get, then sending unit is bad, otherwise look at guage

Andy if you still have the original tail lights, you can usuall rob 2 black out light bulbs temporarily. If memory serves, they are 8 watt instead of 4 watt. Brighter

Ok, put a bucket under the fuel tank and remove the drain plug in the bottom. Let the fuel drain out. Usually most of the debris will be on top of or very near the drain plug. A hook or needle nose pliers or finger will usually get it out. It is not the end of the world yet. Worst case a few years a...

That "Vent Hose" runs from the filler neck to the top rear of the tank. it vents the top of the tank into the filler neck. If you loosen the tank mounting bolts and drop the tank a little ( an inch or 2) you can check the condition of the vent hose. If it is the old braided stuff, you prob...

Rich there is a mount with rubber that mounts the fan shroud to the engine. Kinda like an engine mount. Seen many go bad

Andy and Anthony you have missed the point. I read a quote the other day. The really intelligent man holds the same beliefs and opinions as yourself. That made Dennis very unintelligent in several people minds. Not working for him on a daily basis, I have begun to miss the Dennisisms. You see he is ...

Have no data sheet for the plastic pipe. Has been on summer and winter now. I tend to push shifts in the mountains at max posted speeds on the console. Up and Down shifts at max speed for power in the mountains. I also run 104 kilos per hour for 5 or six hours from Denver to Grand Junction. So assum...

Yes Andy, BUT look at the trends in America. The People's Republic of Boulder (Liberal Land) has Stoplight/speeding cameras mounted at some lights. Denver is floating a "how about getting funding" for about 40 surveillance cameras for the upcoming Democratic convention. We all know they wo...

Haven't tried it because it in my humble opinion that would be much worse than cloth wrapped ducting. The steel would be an excellent conductor of heat. This would cool the heated air in it's travel to the front. If you were to insulate the flex exhaust pipe before you install it. That should make u...
