    M998 HMMWV Frozen Tailgate Hinges

    Not worth it. I'll comment. I've gone to many licensing board meetings to understand the type of person you are. Who am I talking to? A self proclaimed prodigy? you received a chemistry degree? Aced gen Chem and orgo? Not hard to do, but okay. What about physical, inorganic, solid state? Okay...

    M998 HMMWV Frozen Tailgate Hinges

    HCL eats al. I would advise strongly against using a strong acid for this purpose. Especially if you have a high molar HCL product it will immediately chew apart the al. To even suggest this is astonishing. It's extremely dangerous, and will produce hydrogen gas and vigorously "boil". I have an...

    HMMWV Battery replacements

    Diesels require more cca. That's why you'll see one big battery or two smaller cca batteries. Class 8 trucks will have 4 batteries. Anyways... Comparing a battery ment for a gasoline car, does not equate to anything in the diesel world. Truly as you say, apples to oranges. But since we're on...
