    generator trailer burnt to the ground

    I would not trust the head, as it being air cooled no doubt was sucking the flames through the unit. The unit was not shut down, no one could approach it. It stopped when the engine melted sufficiently for the fuel pump to fall off. The thing will probably get stripped, and then the head can be...

    generator trailer burnt to the ground

    Oh the humanity! Or the generatoranity, or something. I let some friends use it on the condition, that no matter what happens, they must do preventice maintenance and regular maintenance, etc. and are responsible for it. They have been using it 2-4 times a week for a few months. The one guy...

    Alternator problems?...try this

    The coolest thing besides the reasonable cost is the extra space gained. Another accessory could more easily be added, like an A/C compressor. Also the primary fuel filter might be more accessible on the M35. I would hate to remove the stock one prematurely though, and mess up the fine...

    sustained top speed

    It did happen to someone here. the 18 managed to slow down and just "pushed" the deuce along for a bit. 4-ways - I only use them when speed drops to 45 or below. BTW on the deuce, 4-ways = no brake light function.

    Bad head gasket?

    a blown exhaust manifold gasket sounds similar, but there would be none of that smoke from the stack and no 'miss' in the engine. pictures of new and old style head gaskets side by side: Untitled Normal Page

    sustained top speed

    I believe the truck will run for the life of the engine (what's the record?) at 55MPH. Done about 9000 miles solid on highway road trips, at or near 55. I run 55 whenever possible but not often over. 3000 of it was with 9.00x20's, so I was close to the redline. Since then, I use 11.00x20's and...

    Photo Albums

    It does not appear there is a link to a table of the albums. The most copnvenient way I found was to go to Members List and start looking at profiles. There are the old albums here, arranged in a style that seems like the windows "view thumbnails" folder option: Steel Soldiers :: Military...

    Air-o-matic install

    It took me about 2.5 hours, with my brother helping me. But all I did was the firewall mounted valve, and preparing the hoses and fittings. He put on the cylinder and drag link. The main problem we had was unscrewing the nuts from the old spring shackles. Did you run into unusual trouble?

    Eastern Surplus - Super Single Rims-

    Nice. I guess the object for having hand-holes in the centers was always for getting to the inner tire's valve stem. Someone asked the width of the rim, I'd like to know as well. What is the offset?
