    Are market lights required to be legal?

    In Ca, yes. Amber on the top front and each lower front corner, red on the top rear and the lower rear corners. Container trailers, yes, not the box. and I believe that red/white reflective tape is a requirment too. For your viewing pleasure...

    White smoke at idle and driving.

    Glad things are better. A/C, can't help. If when the cool button is pressed and no cool, off to someone else!

    White smoke at idle and driving.

    In the case of a stuck open injector, cylinder compression can be pushed back into the fuel system through the nozzle due to the pintle not seating. Your intermittent stumble COULD be air trying to work it's way out, especially if it has just been idled. Again, run it hard and see if it clears up.

    White smoke at idle and driving.

    Smoke is still there because it hasn't been worked. Drive it like you stole it and it will clear. Yes, the injector, if stuck open, it is a pintle type, so that would be a broken spring issue, will cause "smoke" to come out of the intake because the fuel is still sorta atomizing and when the...

    I spotted this tatra woodland fire truck sort of converted to an overlander by strapping it trailer onto the bed, in Oceanside California

    M60A1 Tank - paint removal

    This is what we do at the museum. First, lay down a tarp to catch the paint chips, have a small shop vac with a good filter for the topside and seams. Needle scale the really crusty/flaking areas, use a DA to feather the bad areas into the not-so bad areas, spot prime as you go. Chips go in a...

    Engine failure, rebuild, with turbo, jakes.

    You don't need to, they are installed so that if the FW hsg is removed, you don't need to dial it in again, but that is a common thing to do anyway, but it is a good idea to install them and peen the holes....think of the Dodge killer dowel.

    Yes, that is VERY important too, unless you like to camp out on the side of the road!

    DO NOT put BC push tubes in a small cam, the lengths are different and things will go south quickly!

    Hummer Ambulance

    If you have a pickup, you COULD look into an "S" type shelter. Fits right in the bed of a pick up and you can deck it out how you like. While you are miles away, something like this. Windows can be added easily, if no outside light, one can sleep the day away...

    Wiring question that makes no sense.

    Don't believe that is a diode, IIRC it is where there is a military waterproof connector in line. A diode is a triangle with a flat line at the tip in line with the electron flow.
