I neglected to mention - the switch and slave port are hard mounted to the engine bay framework. There is a square hole in the cover panel, just big enough to clear both. Cheers

The model is looking great! I've not heard of a master switch around the driver's seat, the standard location is in the tunnel next to the slave port. There is a power switch on the instrument panel to power up the fuel pump, lights, and other accessories. This doesn't necessarily mean the...

I just tried to log on there and got a "database error". I do hope its a temporary issue! Cheers

Welcome aboard! Nice looking truck. Tell the kids to get scholarships! :) Cheers

Very impressive!! Cheers

I can't supply the needed picture, but can confirm that the museum is well worth a visit. If one does not suffer from vertigo or fear of heights, the high catwalks above the suspended aircraft offer a view we seldom get to see. :) Cheers

They are usually referred to as Cannon plugs or Amphenol connectors There should be a code printed on it (usually in tiny lettering) that will identify it's size and type, number of pins, etc. You can then look it up on the web and find matching parts. Attached is an example with the code...

Planning your stops further back only works when you don't have to try an unplanned stop. Think about liability. If you get in a serious collision, one of the first questions you'll hear in the lawsuit is "So, you removed part of the vehicle's stock brake system??" Your insurance will probably...

I agree with 98G on the engine. I have trucks with both and like them both. I've run my M813 with the NHC250 in it for 20 years and had no problems with it. Cheers

I am very impressed with your work! Cheers

Still isn't going to be easy to pick just one... Cheers

Welcome aboard! We'll look forward to seeing it. Cheers

Welcome back! Cheers

That is a very cool setup! Nicely executed. I usually don't look at the vehicle modification/hotrodding section on here, so missed this the first time around. Cheers

This should help with visually differentiating the older and newer M116-based version - And this is one of the even newer versions - Mine is the M116A3 in the pictures. It was stripped of almost all hydraulic equipment when I got it off Fort Hood, so I only have pictures to go by on what...

Excellent work! Coming along very nicely. I see you even have the drain plugs. The big one sits directly under the engine oil pan so it can be drained. Cheers

Mainly for height reasons, I pulled the military 5th wheel off one of my M931A2s and replaced it with a Fontaine slider from a big truck junkyard. That lowered the nose of my trailers by almost 9", and allows the 5th wheel to move back a bit to accommodate short necked trailers to keep the...

A very Happy Birthday to you, Guyfang!! Cheers (Moose, it's a long story. But I consider them a good thing. ;) )

Probably fuzzy (knobby?) logic, but it seems Kendelrio has this one well in hand, and much as I like all the contestants, I just can't see a truck as nice as ToddJK's get only one vote, so.... Cheers

Check your state law, but free wheeling is illegal in many states, for precisely the reasons mentioned above. Cheers
