    Turbo Matching

    If the turbo blades do not spin easily by hand, then you have found the problem! It might be simple - the oil has gummed it up, and it might be expensive - the turbo needs to be rebuilt/replaced. Don't try running it till you know which is the problem.

    What product works for 383 green on exhaust pipe?

    Since Deuce pistons start melting at around 1200-1300 degrees F and the exhaust temps by the time it gets to the J pipe are about 100 degrees F less, anything that is good to 1500 F will do fine IMHO.

    2540-00-301-7267 Artic kit Anybody know where I can get one of these?

    You may have to get the parts of the kit as you find them. Some parts will be harder than others to obtain, and as soon as you have three of the four boxes, an entire kit will come available!

    Durhamtown Lawsuit

    Since the lawsuit probably started shortly after the accident, this might explain why they have been raising the rates on us so much in the ensuing years - the insurance company has already raised their rates, and probably dictated some maintenance changes that cost money, so DT is just passing...

    Military vehicle. radio group

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, Dwight and I were messing around one weekend after checking the main radio out on the regular frequencies, so we went up to 11 meters and started listening while pointed at various points of the compass. We picked up a strong signal about 61.5 degrees east...

    Titling Military Shelter Dollies in PA

    Better check with BATFE first to see if they will allow a mobile ammunition manufacturing facility as the first step, and get it writing! Then talk to your insurance agent once you have approval from BATFE in writing. Don't know how it is in the northeast, but here in SC the ammo dealers at...

    First four digits tell you the Federal Supply Classification - 2320 is wheeled vehicles, 2330 is trailers, etc. You can look up the standard Federal Supply classifications here > http://everyspec.com/FSC-CODE/ Next two digits are where it is made (00 and 01 are USA) and the rest is a unique...

    Durhamtown Lawsuit

    Please post the source of the article so we don't have to search. Most businesses have liability insurance and Durhamtown is no exception and I'm sure their insurance will delay paying till all the appeals have been heard, which could be several years. DT's insurance rates will be going up in...

    M809 Wrecker Brakes Locking up

    Actually it is a MICO brake part, not 'micro' (TM is wrong). It acts as a one way valve when setting up the wrecker to be stationary. Operator error in pushing the brakes real hard and hitting the switch. Problem there came when it was time to release the brakes, as it took MORE pressure on...

    Anyone Running a Dometic Fridge? 12 or 24v?

    So, why do I use 10 ga extension cords? Because i can't find anyone who makes 8 ga ones and sells them locally! This is a re-hash of the AC/DC argument of over a century ago. DC voltage is heavily dependent on wire size, AC not nearly as much. New 12 volt car batteries should read about 13.5...

    Anyone Running a Dometic Fridge? 12 or 24v?

    That sounds like low voltage, no load should be closer to 27 volts and that compressor should only drop it down to 24.5-25 volts on startup. If it's a new unit from Dometic, contact them! I have a small (CC40) unit and so far no problems.

    Anyone Running a Dometic Fridge? 12 or 24v?

    Check your voltage when it tries to start. The compressor starting draw is high and I think the Dometic supplied 12/24 V cable is a bit flimsy (IMHO) at 16 ga wire. The fuse in that cable is rated at 8 amps for 12 volts or 96 watts, the higher the voltage of the batteries , the lower the...
