    Rear locker engagement

    I'd like to interject a bit. I've blown a gov-bomb with a clapped out 6.2. Stock tires. Just happened to be in the wrong place/wrong time. Was pulling back onto concrete from mud turning uphill. Truck started fishtailing on me before I knew it and the outside tire caught concrete at the...

    Rear locker engagement

    It has a flyweight on it, so it will work in 2wd, 4wd, 4L. This is a newer unit, so it's a little different between what's in the 1009. But the function is the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCxqUJCZGNU

    Rear locker engagement

    There's not really a way to select it. (Unless you intentionally increase wheelspeed to cause it to lock, but doing so brings the risk of failure from shock loading) Normal operation, it's just a open diff with a limited slip pack in it. (AKA Posi-track)

    Rear locker engagement

    Not on a M1009. The M1009 uses a gov-locker. Which is a diff that has a limited slip pack in it, then once up to speed can lock the diff with a flyweight. They aren't the strongest locker/traction unit, as they're commonly referred to as a gov-bomb.

    What good is a 400 MHz generator?

    I'm fairly certain the OP meant 400 Hz. But outside using it for parts for a 60 Hz unit, heating equipment and incandescent lighting is about it.

    Well I just coated it down in oil. Next up is the new tires to be installed. Still need a 5 ton rim though. Then it's servicing the brakes and greasing up everything.

    Home Depot Behr Paint Sale

    I've never paid any attention to any sales on it. I just know even at normal retail, it's cheaper than CARC.

    What happened to the Popcorn Smiley?

    Certainly. Until it's used in a non-comical manner. The best solution was to remove it due to circumstance.

    I've pleaded with people to keep to just FACTS. Not to add opinion or their interpretations. And the needless emojis being posted. I'm not going to keep on cleaning this thread.

    Yes sir Swiss. Too much opinion, very little fact. I think we've established the positions of this via the armchair legal defense panel. There's no need to stipulate. If you have information to the matter (paperwork), please post it here.

    Has the site started blocking foreign IPs?

    Ok, I'll just not state what's going on...

    Has the site started blocking foreign IPs?

    We do not use AWS, and actually block a lot of AWS traffic.

    Has the site started blocking foreign IPs?

    Yup. We block a LOT of IP ranges due to their harboring of spammers/scammers/hackers. Also a lot of VPNs are blocked due to nefarious uses.

    I have cleaned up the thread and removed the needless comments/pictures/exc. I'd ask that the thread moving forward stay to the facts and not emotion/I told you so remarks.
