    Jasper 6.2 diesel ?

    I have never been a fan of Jasper rebuilds.. i have torn down a couple GAS engines of there's, and found stuff like- 3 pistons standerd, 3 .010 oversized, and the other 2 .040 oversized.. cranks ground to a undersize.. but 1 bearing at .010, and the rest at .020.. to me this is shoddy work...

    gotcha.. well the upside for you is that Indy is a major sales site for Gov truck sales.. even if it doesnt run, its not to far to tow-bar it home.. if you would like to come check out a few trucks, i have a M932A1 (5ton tractor), and my friend up the road has a M35 (2 1/2 ton), and M813 (5ton...

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    On the A/C- I will put a small window unit in the front for the bedroom (5K-btu or so) and I picked up a portable A/C unit to use in the main room. It is 10K-btu, and only requires a 4" exhaust hole on the floor or wall.. And it's a dehumidifier as well. Hopefully 10K-btu can keep up with the...

    I need info on selectable 5 ton locker's

    just a FYI, the "800" and the "900" (if your talking about the M939 trucks) are the same axles with the exception of the brakes, the 939 had air brakes, and the m809 (800) has hydraulic brakes.. the center chuncks are interchangeable.. that being said, i have been looking for 5ton lockers, and...

    if i build another one, it will have a toilet, and full bathroom.. but for what this is being used for, there should be bathrooms close by anywhere we are set up at..

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    i have seen them in campers, but from the git-go on this project, a toilet was not a facter.. i did not want to deal with black water, and the extra plumbing.. and this will have more of a command center use, then as a camper.. so i wanted as much open floor space as i could.. the shower is in...

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    the shower is a craigslist specal.. $50.. but is is just like the standerd 32"X32" stand up shower you can find at lowes for $350-ish and yes, it is very exhausting.. but it has to be livable by the first week in june for Haspin 2013!! :)
