    404 errors when following old internal links

    Malformed links over the years of various incarnations. I'll have to search to see if I can find the appropriate thread and edit the post.

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    Thanks for all the pics. But looking at how tall that transmission is in the frame, I'm thinking I'll just have to watch this one from the sideline. :(

    Low oil pressure causes

    The turbo should not cause that much of a pressure loss. I noted no noticeable change in my turbo addition on the 1008. What is the oil pressure "cold"? Now you said the crank was inspected and saw no wear. Did you mic it to make sure the main/rod ODs are in spec? Plastigauge it? Cam...

    Half shaft question--spacing visible

    Ooof, yeah, not good. I'm guessing the retaining bolt has backed off. Need to pull the hubs apart and replace the nordic washer and inspect/service all of them.

    Resolution size of PNG vs JPG

    The image resizer the server uses will resize a picture by default if it falls outside the allowed dimensions. Looking at the png setting it was allowing a 800x800 max. And a lower file size. I've set it to match the current jpg settings.

    Humvee Speed

    Just pay attention to shift pattern from a dead stop. There's two shifts to hit 3rd. There should be some time in between them though. These things are geared low enough to pull 3rd gear at low speeds. But with 150hp it's not getting anywhere fast. If you notice a short shift, just come to...

    Humvee Speed

    Dang near to the end of it if memory serves. It was substantial in the amount I had to adjust. I literally would start out in 1st, then hit 2nd and 3rd by 20mph. It was a dog before. Now it works wonderfully.

    Humvee Speed

    Are you staying in gear long enough or is it short shifting up to 3rd and slowly getting up to speed? I ended up having to adjust my TV cable.

    Resolution size of PNG vs JPG

    Yes, they are resizing to a different rate. At one time everything was 800x600, but I bumped jpg to 1024 by request. I can increase PNG to that if needed, but most everyone uses jpg. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    I'm weird. I enjoy working out things like that. I also work fractions in my head.

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    Wanna hear something crazy? If it was a 8.3 powered truck, they can sustain 2800rpm easily. (They could go higher though) That works out to 100mph. Course I'm doubtful there's enough power on tap to make that happen.
