    Heavy Armor Outpost

    This is a parts wanted quest, but do not think it fits in the classifieds, I brought the Call of duty Heavy Armor Outpost by Mega Blok, this is compatible with LEGOS, I plan to power up along with rc control, ect. Being that the rebuild build will need MORE parts, the problem is that Lego does...

    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    My boom supports are OFF the 819 and NEVER be back on the truck, my crane works best at about 750/800 rpm warm, the rear winch is a bit difference, I would run about 1000 and use the trans for different winch speeds/pull load.

    Bumperette removal. Do they still serve a purpose?

    Bumperetts are there mainly for ONE reason which is so one truck can push the DEAD truck in front of it OUT of the KILL ZONE.

    To Brake or Not To Brake

    1 - The pedle is at "NOMUAL" position means NOTHING, it has a spring return. 2 - How much fluid is in the master cylinder? 3 - The fluid needs to go some where. 4 - SPONGY means that there is AIR in the system. 5 - You DO NOT have air brakes, so no point in looking for a air leak. 6 - I would...

    M915A2 highway speed

    I drove a 915 from NJ to NE and back, it did 70 mph (had to work at it just a bit) and got 6 mpg till I tried to suck the bottom out of the tank, then it really worked to do 65, it was happy doing 60.

    dash light upgrade?

    I also use a armored cab light, not only helps me on the gauge visual issue, It also allows me to look around the cab if needed with the blue (looking for red) light, then the white light is great for reading directions on the side of the road at O dark 30 when I think that I just passed my turn.

    rear air brake leaks on new M1078

    I really think you need to read the -20p for this truck, it does NOT have calipers, it does have drum brakes all the way around, so who ever told you this is blowing smoke and does not know what they are talking about.

    Adding extra slave end

    This goes along with this thread though it is a 5t mod, I mounted a second slave port in the lower left corner of my m819s grill and a second slave port in the left fender, right by the step on Swiss's m923, I am SURPRISED how much both of those ports have been used slaving off other trucks...

    The ends ARE cast/machined when cast bends it cracks, pressing the ears back in shape will cause more stress cracks, then welding good root passes inside at the radius and out side in the center of the bend will it self could cause some stress cracks unless the cast part is preheated and a very...
