i know the cutter will go through over 1.5", from what i have heard, I think the 200 amps is right at startup plus a safety margin, we looked at a 60kw but the guy wanted 5k for it.

I do some part time work for a guy and he is in need of a generator that can put out around 200 amps and 3 phase power to run a plasma cutter. what are my options, and what kind of price range are we looking at? I am in the Charlotte, NC area and am a prior service Marine Motor T mech, so I know...

CARC coyote brown with various unit markings RUC etc this goes for USMC vics

You will need the ratchet strap, a couple spoons, some grease or soap water and a couple beers if you have em. you want to one end of the scrunched up runflat inside the tire, and using the spoons, some soap or grease, squeeze the other in there. its not easy with handtools, but can be done...

Yea SSgt i was a little upset about that too. they were still under warranty though.

thats a good looking truck. the 1028 has the increased GVW, correct?

is the glow plug controller operating properly? might have some luck with pins 3 and 6.

tanker bars, impacts, 25 ton pnuematic jacks make changing tires on MTVRs a pinch. MRAPs are harder because they have a "spacer" ring that goes between the drum and the tire, puts a square edge there that the tire doesnt like to slide onto.

we have three of them at my shop now, they dont seem to be too bad, but the serpentine belt went out on one of them, we werent allowed to work on it and the civilian contractors came out and fixed it. pretty cool trucks, they drive good, and sound even better with the straight piped C7 in them...

it helps to pull the trailer around a mile or two to properly mix it up, least thats what they always do before doc tests the water.

the hole in the tailgate is part of the ladder to climb into the back of the truck, the hole in the bed with the cover is used to store troop seats and bedsides while in a flatbed configuration.

im surprised noone had given a mention to the MTVR, MATV and Force Protection Familys. These vehicles are the best that money can buy IMHO. there isnt nothing quite as badass as the straight piped C7 or turbo whine of a C12

ive had a problem similar to this, it turned out that the new marker unit i put in got its ground from a different bolt on the back. i was chasing gremlins for a while until i figured that one out, made me feel a little bit remedial. just something to think about if you replace the whole unit...

Ive never noticed any frame rail rot on a HMMWV, and ive been under my fair share of them. i would hate to personally own one, its a lot easier getting parts by filling out a EROSL, i would hate to explain to the parts jockey at Autozone what a geared hub was. That being said, i would love to...

do the older duel plane intakes like the one pictured have the chevy firing order stamped on them? The intakes on all our 6.5s have the firin g order stamped, thought it was a little wierd.
