    KE5EUA's 818 Build

    Got a little bit more done before the night. Cut a notch for the transfer lever to fully engage in high, and cut the hole, ground down and riveted the switch panel in. I put the original switches in for appearance purposes only, switches will be changed as soon as I get my new ones in. I...

    That could have been bad.

    Man that was a close one. Had the same thing happen on my way to "the ham guy". Heard a loud thump, pulled over and saw the chunk missing out of the front drivers side.

    KE5EUA's 818 Build

    Only thing I did today was add a safety barrier between me and the batteries. I got to thinking today, what would happen in the event of a battery blowing up. Well, in it's current configuration I would look like two-face from batman. So I took the bench seat back and took the frame off...

    Wheel Studs "Singling it Out"

    I have faith in these though. The stock studs would come right to the edge of the rim. With these being an inch longer they should give me enough to grab onto.

    Sitting on side of road

    While not a complete oil change, I've had to add 6 quarts to the F250 once. I won't even go all the way to the back bathroom, straight to the front, lol

    Wheel Studs "Singling it Out"

    New studs came in. Total cost was 340, that includes freight. Not bad I think. This picture show all three studs for comparison. In the back are the new studs, one on left is original, and the right is the napa ordered one.

    M1070 Stalling problem

    True speed isn't needed, but the military tune is way underpowered imho for that engine. Now, the transmission could defiantly use a tune, stiffen the shift, prolong from 2-3 a little under load, etc. Once you have driven them a while you know what I'm talking about, especially with 80 tons on...

    Purchased Air Raid Siren

    patracy, I'm going to his place to pick up a trailer but dropping off a trailer bed for someone else. Details of when hasn't been ironed out yet, but it will be next month for sure, possibly second week depending on how the weather treats me as I'm doing a seal job on all axles on the truck.

    Purchased Air Raid Siren

    New Iberia, LA... I am going to Drews next month and most likely will be bring up a trailer bed on the back of my truck. Depending on how far you are from Drews I could possbily bring it to you.

    M1070 Stalling problem

    Whats even better is that they were able to get the calibration for the het. Personally I would have had them load a more aggressive calibration in it.

    2 inch ball conversion m1102 trailer

    Here is the parts for the hydro brake setup. http://www.crofttrailer.com/hydro-act-brake-actuator-parts/?sort=featured&page=1 You can get the ball for it for between 150 to 250. I second on just getting a pintle receiver. You gain articulation and safety with the pintle vs the ball.
