Then I guess that pinpoints the error at GL's side. To my eye, it looks like they reused a partly filled out form on their computer, and forgot to erase the old data fields that didn't apply (eg. Cargo Trailer). Absolutely not! I have, however worked for the government both as an employee...

First, the physics of accelerating a truck from zero to 2 MPH in 3 seconds is no different than going from 2MPH to 4MPH in 3 seconds, or 100MPH to 102MPH in 3 seconds. Speed is relative.... it is all F = MA Notice that F = MA doesn't mention speed. In a manual transmission what is different...

Wow! Someone, Marti I think, claimed there were three types: Black with loose rings, black with pressed in rings, and pink with vents and loose rings. The claim was that the pink with vents were the latest revision, and they have become all used up in the supply chain, so the older black type...

That's an easy one, but you have to set some conditions, like do you keep the acceleration constant, or do you keep the force (torque) constant. The equation of interest is: Force = mass x acceleration If you keep the acceleration constant, the force required to make a fully loaded truck take...

I'd say that you found the smoking gun! Stress breaks almost always start on the thread roots, as that forms a stress riser. That is why the old lathe cut "V" bolt standard was abandoned in favor of the UNS thread pattern. In addition to being easier to machine, the UNS pattern has a curved...

Geeze! Every time this subject comes up someone says the gaskets with the vents are the new style. Pink, black, vents, no vents, rings, no rings??? Which is it? Here is a thread where Marti claims the pink gaskets with the vents and separate fire rings is the new gasket...

And what would happen when the picture is dropped from the hosting site? The whole reason SS does pictures the way it does is so that the messages and pictures will always stay together. -Chuck

GL provided the program that you used to fill in the data. That is tantamount to asking. And yes, you can within reason, put anything you want on the form. I didn't think that was pertinent to this discussion. I am certain the OP didn't fill out the form saying his truck was a trailer. The...

Have you tried wiping another piston off with a diesel wetted rag? Your engine only ran a very short time after it crashed. I am curious if a quick wipe down would shine things up like that. There have been several crashed engines recently, and I forget which is which. Was this one new to...

First let me say, that urethanes do some beautiful things. Real CARC just looks so right on these trucks... way better than the pretenders... It is definitely worth being able to use the paint safely. I was in discussion with another member that works with those that routinely paint with...

Ok, here is how I read the tealeaves: The top of the broken piston is shiny, the others are dull. The broken piston has valve head marks in its top, And you have a broken cam, bent pushrod, and a broken connecting rod. How about this for a scenario: Antifreeze has been leaking into the...

Just to add to the information: I was over at WR Grace's site, and they claim that although the NIOSH/MHSA organic respirator cartridges are not approved for isocyanate exposure, they do work very well for individuals that are not already hypersensitive to isocyanates. The problem that...

There are also size issues. If your resolution is too high, the site will only include a thumbnail. Somewhere there is a list of the various sizes and resolutions that are allowed. -Chuck

Whatever you do, make sure that it is obvious that the deuce is 3 axle. -Chuck

I disagree. The only people that much of anything to say about GL are those that have had a problem. Those that have smooth sailing tend to just go on about their lives. I'm one of those that have had no problems. Due diligence is a good thing in an entity that builds structures whose...

GL gathers the information for the SF97 from you. The ask you for the make, model number, serial number, GVW, and your exact full name and address. They send that information to the US Government in Michigan and the Government issues an SF97 with your vehicles information in GL's name. GL...

I'm not trying to raise a ruckus, or tell anyone what to do. I am trying to find out some information. I already know exactly what isocyanates are, and what they do. I got told the entire story from a first hand participant in the world's first mass isocyanate exposure problem, over at WR...

I still can't find the MSDS for the catalyst (93V502). It is the important part, as it is where the isocyanates would exist. -Chuck

From what I have read on these boards, the gaskets with the tabs that stick out past the head are the new style. -Chuck

No, I hope not. I am very impressed with the job this waterborne CARC does, and I would like to use it... but I am having trouble finding the necessary information to determine what is necessary to use it safely... Since you bought the product, if Sherwin Williams did their job, you should have...
