    breaking free stuck lug nuts

    also one old farmer trick is after heating up the stuck nut is to cool it with water, the shock seems to loosen rust up. I would not re-use the nut .

    breaking free stuck lug nuts

    Get yourself a sliding t-bar in 3/4 dr. You know the bar head with the square drive that has the hole in it for the sliding bar to go through?

    What brand is your multifuel

    There was an article in mvm last year I think on this very subject. I believe that the hypercycle process is what was patented, they wanted the design because of the reduced noise levels at first. The Man engine was nicknamed the wisper motor, if it was as loud as my multi, I don't want to hear...

    Engine coolant heater

    a big cheap blue tarp will do wonders in my experience, as far as keeping heat inside the engine compartment. My truck is inside, so I have no wind issues, so something more may be needed if out of doors. I have a 300 watt mag heater, and have had good luck so far. Have yet to do any scientific...

    Lots of Military Vehicles on GSA site in MO - ends Jan 15th

    I've been burnt by the posting of a item, I waited a while longer ( 6 mos.) and the same item came up, and I bought it. As far as I see it there is enough of this surplus stuff to go around, its all in if you got the coin in your pocket at the moment. One big point missing here is theres two...

    To single or not to single

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Well... rmgill- yes I think I agree with you, 1100 ndcc are so cheap, its a crime not to try them. Then will already have the hub flip done, so if xls get your attention, you are ready to go. Hopefully this summer I'll getit accomplished.

    Lots of Military Vehicles on GSA site in MO - ends Jan 15th

    go ahead and post the notices if you wish. If as they all say these are known sites to look for a truck it shouldn't create any more competition. I really don't think we are all looking at each sale due to logistics. I also am not looking to start a war of words, but this is a public forum, and...
