well @Joe Bertram it was nice voting on your baby .. now for september can we get to vote on your father too? (I'm being a bit silly but I mean the two trucks have a very noticeable size contrast hence my given humour)

@Guyfang theres always someone who seem to be too curious for their own sake and poking things that they shouldn't poke theres many stories online about that little red switch at the back of many computer psu (generally from the 1980-2000's era) and umm yeah lets just say that you don't want to...

"there is nothing to see here, carry on!" as a few specific comical tv shows from around the 1980's era used to say, especially when said by a man with like a very neutral tone as if you were the one dreaming up something that wasn't even there in the first place

@Summerpaws yeah I have to agree with @Ray70 as sometimes plain field experience literally beats textbooks, especially when its in the "hmm if you instead do ____" sort of way too and not to make you chuckle too much while sorting your heater-running generator but heres a bit something from...

sorry to get carried away again especially after what I did a previous month before but..hey @kendelrio I hope you like apples? gives you a nice hot apple pie..right in the face *runs off laughing?*

@wgtactical on a note about short life .. thats the same thinking when these were built as austerity shunters for the heavy amount of war traffic shunting jobs and considered 'disposable after a short life' but .. by absolutely no surprise, a lot of them literally outlasted the war to the point...

partially offtopic but sometimes when a vehicle gets old (or the purpose came to an end like eg in this instance war) it just seem like a junk to easily throw away in a manner speaking .. and its only many more years later that the lucky ones somehow surviving in some direct (eg not being too...

@Mullaney on the other hand a sleepable ambulance would be a funny contrast to the fictional ambulance van driven by farrah and burt team in the comedy movie named 'cannonball run' (not sure how popular this movie might had used to be outside usa but mm..) anyhow kimo cummins is one common...

I from time to time look up whats going on with general ev debates on /r/electricvehicles/ and not surprisingly noticed this one yesterday but wasn't sure about posting that to steelsoldiers.. but since someone else started I'll post it but I'll have to warn you to not mind the usual reddit...

@Migginsbros just curious but is that by any chance the big aircrafts "junkyard" in california? thought I heard something about that particular property some awhile ago

if I was a comedy kind of mechanic (not sure if the name mel brooks would be familiar to you? that sort of laughters either way) I would have had maybe said "ah to heck with it lets just grind it till it fits!" anyway back to reality..sorry about the order mixup, hope you'll get your correct...

interesting idea but even then if you don't mind, this is simply my own little opinion - if you aren't going to haul a big trailer of some sort then maybe it would be 'nicer' to use a pickup to start such project with instead? as diy 6x6 pickups actually exists there and there usa-wise (not to...

no problem @frauhansen and although its a different kind of diesel-water issue I still think someone on this forum might get a bit of 'what the..' face out of this nevertheless: I recall that some particular railroad diesel locomotives in the early days had a specific procedure for starting an...

agreed @frauhansen and..although it may sorta seem a bit offtopic I think another issue at times is that in a manner of speaking - some engines simply are too "modernly" extra-sensitive as well (well, I mean that in a rough anatomy of: dump the same old un-reprocessed oil fuel into both a 2020+...

@Migginsbros bit offtopic of a long reply but thats an interesting railroad army caboose, I won't be surprised if its actually a modified one (I'm no rail nuts but as far as I recall seeing them they never quite had that sort of small window bump-out in usa here, the nearest you would get is an...
