It is a very fine powder almost like powdered sugar if I recall correctly. So it flows pretty good, and with a little funnel, you should be able to do that fairly quickly.

Some tire shops like Les Schwabb on the west side of the country have a device where they can feed it in through the valve stem. But if they are in the process of mounting a tire anyway, they will sometimes just open the bag and pour the contents into the tire before mounting it to the rim...

This week I finally got my 24 volt LED cab lights mounted the way I wanted them on that narrow strip over the windshield. And this evening I redid my bumper and clevis's. While I liked the bumper numbers on there.....I was not at all a fan of the tan colored paint in big ugly rectangles. It...

Yeah, this really intrigues me because I lived in California for most of my life, and I know in California specifically, that it's the same thing as NH. Maximum of 4 headlights to the front, and auxillary driving lights are required to be covered when on public roadways. So you would NEVER see...

I got some more kind of cool video of my M925A1 in the woods:naner: https://youtu.be/M2jnFvarub4 The reason I got the video was to put in a music video I was making:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOpkT9xKAU8

My 1966 M105A2. Normally it is used as my garbage trailer. I've got the cover and bows for it, so normally it's how I haul all my garbage to the dump. But then when I want to use it for hauling my Yamaha Rhino around, I empty it out. Wish the bows and cover were taller so I could leave the...

I really want to do that on mine, and was just today figuring that the heater core supply lines would probably be the best place to tie into. I was thinking directly in line with one of them though. But I can see how this setup would still allow the coolant to be filtered. And I suppose an...

I spent Saturday and Sunday at Sand Lake Recreation area here in northwestern Oregon. It's always fun letting people see these trucks. And yes, like Piper Cub said, they seem to get so much more attention when you are flying the flags. Today I drove it over to Lincoln City, and went to...

That would scare me! ha ha But yeah, I have seen other guys post that their 8.3 idle oil pressure seemed really low. My NHC250 in my M925A1 idles hot at I think 25psi, and about 50-60 psi when driving.

Not that this has anything to do with your problem, but on my truck, someone ran the air line for the left front, red glad-hand, in a position that allowed it to get smashed between the left rear engine mount and the engine mount support bracket. I found it pinched pretty much completely shut...

Given the symptoms in the original post, the very first thing I said to myself was "His turbo is bad". I'm surprised it took so far down the list, and so much other work before the turbo was finally brought up. All of the symptoms he mentioned, are exactly indicative of a bad turbo. Too bad I...

Those are the best pics I have so far. The thing just BARELY fits between the wheel wells. And I mean BARELY. ha ha In fact it took me a few tries to get lined up right where both tires went between the wheel wells, and not one or the other trying to go up over. This is a 2006 I believe...

I've got one of these mounts for my GoPro which isn't the best, and doesn't offer a whole lot of mounting and aiming options, but it gave me what I needed to clamp it to the top of my flag pole, and the the ends of suspension bolts and things to get the different views.

So this weekend, I joined the crowds of off road enthusiasts that swarm Sand Lake Recreation area here in North Western Oregon on every big holiday. I had been dying to get another M925A1, and what better time to take it someplace like that, than when it is crowded and there are lots of people...

That's awesome! Very cool!
