The Lubrication of Military Vehicles. 1943-1945.

[@blackbird_actual]

I will never understand why the military and government in general doesn't still produce these kind of instructional videos for a whole range of subjects - technical or otherwise. Good visuals, clear/simple instructions, an explanation of why something must be done and how to get it done - just good, solid teaching. Such videos, made in a standard format, using experts in various fields for guidance, with no music or over the top nonsense to distract students, would be invaluable to those who are largely able to teach themselves how to do things with a little visual aid and clear explanation. As thankful as I am for modern KZbin instruction videos, their quality varies wildly. On the other hand, these old WWII training films always explain things so well and at such a basic level that it's difficult to misunderstand or miss something.

[@jeffsilver4730]

It may be because the military leadership is too focused on WOKE stupidy that eventually will destroy the US. We get what we vote for.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Coz if they tell you anything, it's a conspiracy.

[@adrianzbaeren]

Generation TikTok wants dancing videos with a maximum duration of 30s.

[@blackbird_actual]

@@adrianzbaeren Sure, but as far as I can tell they stopped making these sometime in the 70s.

[@fullmetaljacket7]

They probably still do but they're not in the public domain.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Been working as a professional auto mechanic for 20+ years now. All of this still rings 100% true, and with direct injection, it's even more so important.

[@obsessedwithcars219]

These type of videos are the best educational tools that we should still be producing and showing today

[@mdubz101]

The old school in-line six for the win!! Best engine alignment in history, and now they are finally coming back!

[@fidelcatsro6948]

easy to repair and service..smooth as a cat to run!

[@alro2434]

Surprised they were OHV!

[@autophyte]

@@alro2434 Those were GMC's Or Chevrolet 6's -Overhead valve since the 1920's. Most other military truck gasoline engines of the era were side valve engines. But a weakness (which was later remedied) was the low pressure oil pump which pumped oil into troughs placed under the big ends of the con rods, which had little dippers which picked up oil as they rotated through the troughs,shooting it up through a drilling, to the big end bearing. The oil pressure was only about 8 lbs/ sq in max.

[@wonniewarrior]

Had a old car, and a common misconception was for older engines, you had a higher rating oil viscosity as it meant oil could not in theory flow as easy past the worn oil rings into head and be burnt by the spark plug in the combustion chamber. This was more thought after in hotter climates as in Australia in summer in the 1990s. An easy way to check for oil leaks in combustion chamber was put your hand over the exhaust pipe and either get hand dirty from unburnt oil, or see blue smoke in exhaust. Now it all synthetic oil, recommended grade and so called mandatory oil changes every 5,000 or 10,000 km. Another thing was a clogged air filter with worn oil rings meant your engine ended up breathing through PVC valve and would quickly use up the oil in the sump as it tried to source sufficient air from elsewhere. The PCV valve sat on rocker cover meant to circulate unburnt gases that leaked past the oil ring seals.

[@rooftopvoter3015]

Next time my tank needs service, I will use the right artillery grease for the turret. No more 3-In-1 oil for me!!

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Use Castrol GTX.. Scotty Kilmer recommends this oil brand!

[@manhoot]

This film was pretty "slick".

[@kjaques1]

Boom boom. Lmao.

[@floatpvnk]

Oh hi dad

[@dennisjones2124]

change your freakin oil people...

[@seeul8rwaynekerr]

Done this week on my new car

[@datboyquincy]

@@seeul8rwaynekerr good job! I lost 2 vehicles because I was too lazy to get a oil change. Now that I have learned to do oil changes my self, I always make sure its done and the oil level stays correct. Although I'm not a mechanic, I learned that the best person that will ever keep my trucks running is me.

[@SlowSTEN]

"Change your oil *OR DIE* "~US army

[@loginavoidence12]

and always check your oil after some random arsch hole changes it, usually they underfill it. i had a dealer short my brand new $50k car by a whole quart before.

[@kamleshbhandari614]

Yes d.Jones first thing to do today

[@VicTor-gi7so]

Lube it or Lose it.

[@garyr7027]

Can't have the military war machine breaking down, keep those things lubricated soldier.

[@RuralTowner]

Aye sir. Have miltery macheeen break down. Keep soldiers well lubicated. 😄

[@michaeld.coulombesr.583]

I, as one, have a 1943 3/4 ton weapons carrier, built on top of a 1941 1-1/2 ton four wheel drive military truck ( a short 2-1/2 ton ) With a Ford 390 4-barrel carb engine. All properly lubricated, and running 10.00-20's tires, duels in the back, singles in the front. Michael said that, bye for now my friends.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

That truck hit a landmine. It was running fine..

[@aadithnarayanan3880]

Wouldn't happen if it was well lubricated

[@kenw.1112]

DAM GOOD VIDEO !!! LOVE THE WAY THIS DUDE EXPLAINS THINGS ! THIS VIDEO IS A 10+😊😊😊

[@triggeral]

I LOVE these movies.

[@Victorsvolkswagens]

Did you get permission from the war department

[@alro2434]

We do not have a 'War Department'!!! Newspeak is Defense!

[@RuralTowner]

This needs to play (edit out the war bits for the sake of the easily offended) in the waiting room of service shops for people who are entries in "JUST ROLLED IN" due to a lack of this... It describes the necessity in simple terms. It even comes with PICTURES! It would be a disservice to the narrator & crime against humanity to be forced to "dumb it down" further for the true thick skulls out there.

[@2ndgenlife]

2 days ago my buddy and I were cruising some back roads and slwe stopped at this creek and I decided to check my oil so i did. there was no oil on the stick so I added 4 quarts and off we went!!. Almost 280k on the truck.

[@ciphercode2298]

Tight tolerances,direct injection, and higher output smaller engines demand that maintenance be strictly followed today as it was in the past. I've seen alot of newer vehicles with variable valve timing suffer because of sludge and carbon buildup causing them to not function correctly. It's also become commonplace for cheap filter manufacturers to build subpar filters that do a very poor job at protecting your engine.

[@jdrhc63we67]

Somehow I've been in the millitary two and half years and never been shown a instructional video everything is live or text book

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Then it means its time to for Army training in Cuba!

[@frenchfrysz6695]

clear and concise. manuals today tell you not to eat tide pods and make tiktoks about it. We let the world go...

[@floatpvnk]

What is friction? None of us know what it is! Im dead 😂

[@autophyte]

Yeah, that was funny, Just something to say to open the film.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

''This film will not be shown to the general public without permission from the War Department'' ~ well its now showing in Cuba!😺👍

[@peterfaggella3120]

13:42 ? Anyone? No one? Come on!

[@FullArmorE6]

Boner!

[@spazemfathemcazemmeleggymi272]

Oh shoot😂

[@alro2434]

Watch the Watch?

[@PressedSteel1919]

good show.

[@enginecalibrationcode8779]

Did the war department give permission?

[@fidelcatsro6948]

nope they didnt.. this was hijacked from the americans by the cuban army and then uploaded for all to see..

[@agnelodsa788]

American military technical books start by teaching you how to use a multimeter to check generators as if those repairing generators are not trained electricians!

[@hildablanco1591]

Always take the thurmustat out so you never have overheating problems and buy a stant radiator cap and make sure your lower radiator hose has a spring inside of it

[@davidyoung8521]

Your engine will not reach proper operating temp and increase fuel consumption and improper combustion without a thermostat.

[@RuralTowner]

@@davidyoung8521 Depends on the climate. But you can gut the thermostat then reinstall where it will then serve as a flow limiter. More than if the T-stat were intact but less than if missing entirely. In the SW desert of AZ an older vehicle (mainly carbureted) you still get up to temp pretty quick in the summer & as long as your fan//wp//rad are in good shape you never have to worry about heating issues. In the winter (same area) you still reach temp just takes about 1/2 again as long & cab heater won't work quite as great for awhile. Newer vehicles relying on finer control by inputs from the various sensors will tend to want to keep things running hotter. In a pinch the T-stat can be omitted for the short term (if you can get to it that is) until replaced.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Don't do this. I'm a qualified mechanic BTW.

[@ianspeckmaier9565]

You sound smart, I'll be sure to remove my "thurmustat" after reading this 👍

[@brunodobia9223]

You are so wrong it’s pathetic you always use a good working thermostat no matter how hot of a climate especially when your in a hot climate but its no sense trying too tell a fool anything since you already think you got it all figured out and know more than anyone out there 😂😅.

[@hildablanco1591]

And always make sure all gears are timken and the race are American made

[@melockavich9596]

USA was great then

[@robotswithryan8348]

Except for the asbestos.

[@setoman1]

The commentator doesn’t understand what an explosion is 😂

[@9ZERO6]

Controlled burning in the combustion chamber. But at speed, it would look like an explosion to the naked eye. It that better?

[@setoman1]

@@9ZERO6 Not by a longshot. A true “explosion” must be capable of generating a blast wave in atmospheric air. A wave of highly compressed gas, followed by a gradient of low pressure (vacuum). Gasoline, or any other petroleum distillate, is physically (and chemically) incapable of producing such an effect. Not without the container (or cylinder) rupturing with it. But in that case, the gasoline STILL has not exploded, the container did. Words have meanings. It helps if you use the correct one.

[@henkdespermatank2753]

​@@setoman1 i am going to keep using explosion because it sounds cool, nerd

[@hildablanco1591]

Always put one quart of stp oil treatment or motor honey and one gallon of airplane fuel in the tank

[@BHARGAV_GAJJAR]

Quite boring but perhaps very vital.

[@9ZERO6]

Very important indeed.
