    Another Fiver headed home.

    I haven't heard a thing. I know they were going to stay somewhere last night and head on down the rest of the way today. It is at least a 12 hour drive in a car so figure a lot slower in a truck. Rick

    Trail ride southern new jersey

    I would offer to guide but I stay away from the woods now since they have made ANY kind of wheeling illegal in the pinelands. If you have QQ tags they will chase you out also since you are obviously not at a show. If you are caught off of the road in the mud they WILL impound your vehicle and...

    Another Fiver headed home.

    I thought I posted this last night but I guess it did not go through. Another Fiver is headed to a new home. John and Adam left my place here in NJ yesterday headed to S.C.. That is one Big A** truck! Rick

    Problem this morning, need help.

    You has said that you had power at one end of the main starter wire but not at the other, have you replaced that wire yet? If not it seems like you are wasting a lot of time and money. Rick

    Problem this morning, need help.

    You got me there but I know when heat is brought into the equation it changes the resistance. I am too tired right now to remember the equations for heat related resistance changes. Rick

    Problem this morning, need help.

    I don't exactly know what the load test setting is on your meter. You need a normal VOM and you need to check everything using the engine block as the ground. You should have 24 volts at the buss bar side of the starter cable. You just said it was hot but gave no voltage. Then you said you are...

    Problem this morning, need help.

    It sounds to me like you have the cables on the batteries wrong or hooked to the bus bars wrong if you are getting 12 volts at the starter. The meter will show 0 if you are putting 12 volts to it. Make sure your batteries are in series and not parallel. Then make sure you are connected to the...

    The 1028 will have a 205 gear drive transfer case where the 1008 has a 208 chain drive. Rick

    No lights, but everything else works

    Keep in mind that the wiring is different from the civvie model. It sounds like someone set it up to use the switch as a theft deterrent. Rick

    Need a pickup at Fort Dix NJ

    Well I could take a look, if it starts and somewhat stops I could put it at my house for a couple of weeks. There are a couple of heavy wrecker services around here but I doubt they are cheap. Flynn's towing and Risoldis come to mind right off. See if they will let me in to check and see if it...

    Problem this morning, need help.

    Leave it on automatic and it will go up as it senses the battery can handle it. The pop may also have been the glow plug controller under the dash. As voltage goes down amperage goes up and you may have popped a resister. Rick

    TOW missle system for M151 MUTT

    I sent a reply earlier and I don't see it so I may have been deleted but I will try again just to be sure. I am not a busybody, I have plenty to keep me busy. I only tried to explain why the comments were made, I did not make the comments. I have no problem with the trade that was offered, I...

    Removing the hydraulic turbines from the gorge at Livermore Falls circa 1990

    As a former rigger I was looking at those worn and kinked cables and very questionable rigging practices. No counterweights or blocking for the tracks. You guys were very luck to have survived!:mrgreen: BUT it all worked out. Thanks for the pictures.

    TOW missle system for M151 MUTT

    You did not get into trouble, We were questioning the timing of your posts. You offered it to one member but then offered it to someone else but you did not even have it yet. This was not a big deal, still isn't. The member that originally pointed it out is a long standing and well respected...

    TOW missle system for M151 MUTT

    Nice guys, You know there are some of us who are on all of the main sites. I did not slam you over there, just pointed out some discrepancies. We still do not know if Dozenjeeps actually owns the TOW equipment or if he is selling it before he buys it. There is not a darn thing wrong with the 503...

    Meter's on Mep002 not working.

    I don't know exactly where the governor is set on these engines but it is probably around 2200 rpm. That is why you have the frequency gauge to tell you when you are at the right speed. Frequency is a product of rpm so when you are at 60 hertz you can be sure you are at 1800 rpm. At least on a...
