Cummins don't have glowplugs; they use heating elements in the intake manifold (grid heaters). but you can add duramax to the list.

still flies.

John [jatonka] makes them.

seriously?

the plane flies.

i need a step. seriously. oh, and if there are winches, i would like a winch. seriously. :beer:

that's ok, my Cummins doesn't have plugs, either. :beer:

wow, those do look pretty beefy (and large). even though OshKosh just about had the military truck market cornered, i'm not surprised they were under-bid - they're quite proud of their trucks as far as price and parts goes.

i guess that was a shot at me? that's ok - my 6.0 doesn't need work and likely won't. :mrgreen: sorry you feel the need to get defensive and offended; there's no need. i thought we answered your questions fairly well. but, i still believe that the high compression design of the MF...

i have an extra d-side tool box that i intend to install behind the stock box. i'll store fluids and parts in one, tools and recovery aids (including snatch blocks) in the other. actually, i need another step - i have the box and supports, but the step 'fell off' during transit. anyone have a...

that's not what the info you just posted says - you don't need two blocks to gain a mechanical advantage. you can have a single block and gain a 2:1 pulling advantage. running block example - pulling out a stuck truck; attach the block to the truck and the static end back to either the truck...

it doesn't matter. then go look at a crane with a single-sheave tackle block. the static end of the line goes back to the boom, therefore, the hoist line is seeing half of what the tackle block is seeing - it's a 2:1 advantage. say you're lifting 20k lbs with the crane. with single-sheave...

this is incorrect. go watch a crane with a multiple sheave tackle block - it's the same thing; the tip of the crane boom block is your truck and the tackle block is your snatch block.

apparently, you have limited experience working on the current inventory of wheeled vehicles in the military. have you ever looked at the service records for a HEMTT, HETT, or PLS? no, they don't get head gaskets changed every 30k miles; this is because they usually need a new engine way...

the US classifies 'Light' as 2.5T and below, 'Medium' as 5T - 10T, and 'Heavy' as 10T+. 'Medium', 'Light'..... it's all relative. [thumbzup]

this is true, except it was never expected to be run on No.2 - the 6.2/6.5 was always intended to be run on JP8. absolutely - the 6.9 is renowned for it's reliability and is exponentially more reliable than the 6.2/6.5 family. and the only thing the TTB fronts would have been found on is the...

Solid.

yes, i understand how the 'compression ignition engine' operates. however, the 6.2/6.5 engines were never classified as a 'multifuel capable engine', so i wanted to probe deeper as to how that was ascertained. my theory: since 6.2/6.5's don't start for jack-chet without their glow plugs...

the 6.2 is multifuel capable? that's a new one for me.

Beautiful work, Stuart!!!! :drool:
