    Holy hell 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    That also crossed my mind but would have to wonder if that small dump valve (high rpm) would pull enough pressure for the IP not to function. I think it may possibly slow down the runaway a small degree but not stop it. Since more than likely you would be driving the truck when this IP...

    Chinese Aux Diesel Heater

    I use the Big Buddy 9000btu propane heater for my car trailer. I love this little thing. Will run on low for 6 hrs and 3 1/2 on high. It uses one pound propane bottles or can be made to run off a 20lb tank. My buddy has one to heat up the cargo area of a Pinzgauer 712M and it works great...

    So it pinches the hose to close it off. Yeah that would work but the cost is high. But it would work as a imobilazer and a emergency fuel cut off. Mark

    How about a 1/2" 24v fuel cutoff solenoid after the fuel filter. Normally open and closed by am emergency switch. That will shut her down fast. Just a thought. Mark

    Electrical Dip

    Quick question are these batteries the same model and also do the share the same lot number.

    Electrical Dip

    Not for anything but you should load test those batteries.. Unless one has a so so connection they should be at the same voltage. Any idea how old the batteries are? Fully charged with a small load they should settle and hang at 12.5-12.6. You can get a slight over top charge after a recent...

    Electrical Dip

    I would put a volt meter on the batteries and test it all out. I don't notice any real difference on mine when putting loads on the system. Our gauges are not accurate at all so confirm with a meter. Mark

    My buddies Ham Shack back up power.

    The IRIS inverter is a great pure sign wave setup. Will run 1800w continuously and spike much higher. I have the whole Iris setup new in the box with the slave plug in a pelican case for my HMMWV. It's a very high quality setup used in the HMMWV radio trucks. Mark

    My buddies Ham Shack back up power.

    He has a vent high up on the roof peak so with the genset is running and that exhaust system is running it moves a buttload of air into the room and the exhaust system pushes out. He has a CO detector and he also has a CO handheld detector with a digital readout and it's nothing. The drum is...

    Humvee transmission

    The 700R4 is not garbage but hey thanks for the shot.

    Humvee transmission

    If I were to replace my 3 speed with a 4 speed I personally would go with a built 700R4 as it is a mechanical transmission and not have to worry about electronics at all. When built the old 700R4 can easily handle the HMMWVs power. I do have experience with the 700R4s at the drag strips and...

    Rebuilding Troop seats

    Thank you. Only issue with mahogany is it darkens over time and after like 5 or 6 years outside they need a freshening. I'm just going to pull them, sand them and relinseed them. But no deterioration at all. Mark

    Rebuilding Troop seats

    I used 6x1 mahogany and some boiled linseed oil. Looks really nice and holds up very very well. I personally prefer the wood look. Mark
