    Plan to buy a 3D printer

    Pretty much all the printers out there will do better with flashed firmware. The only printer I have that isn't on a flashed firmware is my first printer that's a prusa clone. And that's because it's "lobotomized" and being controlled by octoprint.

    Air bags on M1028 dually

    Has anyone photo'd their install? I'm looking to add some to my 1008 now for my gooseneck and my pintle trailer to keep it more leveled. And some other things I'm adding.

    Best Mods to Get a CUCV to go 75mph?

    I went from 31's to 35's. That helped a little on speed, but it slowed down a bit. I added a turbo. That helped put me back where I was. Then I went up to 37's. That allows me to run 60 now without too much drama. But it's still revving to high IMO. I've got a 4L80e in a donor truck I...

    Increasing the air intake in a deuce

    Enough with the personal attacks with each other. Next one gets a point. That said. The LDT only makes 134hp. A good rule of thumb is 2.2 CFM per HP. So the stock filter can support ~186hp.

    Plan to buy a 3D printer

    Oh and as far as a printer. I'd suggest starting with a Ender or some other decent brand. Sure the Prusa clones are cheap. But the quality of those are just junk at times. I know it might tempt you to get a large volume printer like a CR-10 S5 (which I have), but start small at first. Big...

    Plan to buy a 3D printer

    Then I must be doing something wrong. I've been printing items in a production scale. Yes injection molding can crank out far more in a shorter period of time. But when it comes to scale. The cost of the dies and such would require runs in the thousands/hundreds of thousands to compensate...

    A "new" trailer

    Ramps are reconfigured in the rear. They used to have a single bar going across from I beam to I beam and would allow them to butt up against each other. Useless for normal vehicles. So I moved them outboard when I added the expansions on both sides of the rear. Everything outboard of the I...

    A "new" trailer

    No longer do I have to abuse my "little" car hauler trailer. I have a gooseneck as well, but it's just so long. I picked up this trailer a few months ago for less than I could buy the steel or even a axle. The trailer was for a asphalt roller. So originally it sat lower and only had 6ft of...

    Is this 6.5 a lost cause?

    I doubt that engine will run well if you do manage to get it at least started. Then there's all the sand you found which will certainly do it in the rest of the way.

    Does anyone make a good 4” turbo back turbo exhaust?

    Not a snide remark, but just sharing some advice. A single 3" exhaust will flow ~750cfm alone. That can support 350hp no problem. My experience with diesels in general has been that the exhaust diameter really doesn't matter provided that there's nothing to impede the flow. I had ran a 5.9...

    Mil Radio for 80 meters

    I've got a PRC-320 as well. I've been planning on doing the LSB mod to it. Just haven't gotten around to it.

    Is a friction modifier required for M998 differentials?

    There aren't any clutch packs in the HMMWV diffs. The torsen diff uses only gears.

    Bought used M1102 trailer, (was) missing serial or VIN.

    I should have added that the trailers I'm working on and have done this in the past were home built, just not by me. So that might be an issue on trying to use this path for a manufactured trailer.

    Nope, it's riveted onto the tongue where that green spot is on his.
