Anything computer related or that has contacts that can arc and cause damage. Technically, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have a spare starter and alternator, as the windings may be damaged, or diodes in the alternator toasted... although, in all reality I think it's better to have a spare...
Recent - in terms of modern day... But you neglect to mention the Carrington event..... which was sufficient enough to set telegraph wire/poles on fire and destroy a lot of equipment... and that's just basic stuff - nowhere near the extent of longwires and sensitive electronics that we have...
Dumbest thing ever. No real strategic or tactical value for the maintenance box. Unless they want a list of parts it's supposed to carry and use that as a 'target this because they don't carry spares for that'.... I guess anything is possible.
I used to love contacting Motorola and asking for certain part #s and being told they don't exist.... until I realized they didn't transfer me to gov't accounts support... Funny what you can find if you look in the right place, where someone else will swear they don't exist and never did. Gotta...
.... and this is why you start a trust, and title it in the trust.
Titling it in a business name may be fraud if the sole purpose of the existence of the company is to hold property in another state.
A trust doesn't have such legal restrictions, as its mere existence is proof of its own need -...
IIRC not much. Something stupid like different side markers to make it under width....
I know there were other differences, but none that I can remember off the top of my head that had to do with regulations.
You must not be reading my posts, because I've said that twice now...
:LOL:
You're pretty well hosed in CA. I think they consider anything over 16K or has more than 2 axles to be considered commercial.
Even a deuce falls under their commercial vehicle laws.
That's SC. Other states have other laws. Some states allow you to drive virtually anything if it's not in commerce, other states require add'l licensure, such as a non-CDL class A or B.
.12 micron wouldn't be caught by a .5 micron filter, in this case (obviously). The question is, if factory filters are usually 10-20 micron, what contaminants are they letting in that wouldn't do damage, that these .12 micron contaminants would.
For reference, the thickness of a human hair is...
South Carolina has a Class F non-commercial license...

'Filtration won't remove them' is what I was keying on. If someone is filtering down to .05 microns, and polishing fuel, then it should catch 2 micron particles.
There are nominal and absolute ratings, and that needs to be taken into account when purchasing filters.
A 0.5 micron filter won't remove 2 micron particulates?
Gotta explain that one. That's like saying a 1ft wide hole can accept a 4ft wide piece of wood.
I'll try to make this brief.
The multifuel engine is designed to run on various fuels as a design feature. This is why it needs stuff like the FDC (fuel density compensator) to run those multiple fuels. It also has relatively loose tolerances to accommodate the differences..
The NHC250 is...
Ease of acquiring parts. I had an M934. It was as simple as pulling up the TM, and calling Cummins with the part numbers and picking them up an hour later.
The army and other branches went pretty hardcord on the COTS parts bandwagon (Commercial Off The Shelf) in the 80s and 90s, and tried to...
M939 5 ton has power steering, full air brakes, and a larger cab, and is easier to work on, IMO. However, it doesn't have a multifuel engine, but can run WMO if filtered properly and can run on some (but not much) gas mixed with WMO/Diesel.
