    MEP802 on the House. What's going on here...

    15' of 6/4 cable going into the transfer switch and the breaker on the power pole that feeds the house. From the pole to the house it's the same thing that grid power uses, whatever that is. #6 AWG should not be the weakest link.

    20kw Generator

    I can't imagine needing that much genset. I have one that size (23kW). I can run my welder and my plasma cutter both wide open at the same time, 3 guys using grinders, and still have enough left over to power my entire house. Do you plan to run your oven, your dryer, your water heater, your...

    m35a2 driver seat

    "The first step of any quality repair job is to just sit and stare at it like a moron for a while." It's someone's signature. I'll remember exactly whose about 0300 when I'm dead asleep.

    Driver of HMMWV dead after accident...

    Emphatically this! No safety device will ever take the place of careful and competent operation. Frequently "safety" devices will cause more problems than they prevent, especially if you get used to them being there and then suddenly they aren't.

    M998 6.2L 3speed Important Spare Parts for Road Trip

    Most of what you might need can be found at O'Reilly and similar places. It's more likely that you'll need something you don't have with you, no matter how well prepared you are. My 1986 M998 has been driven thousands of miles all over the country and never needed anything. A spare, a jack...

    M9 motor options?

    8.3cummins, big cam cummins, a bunch of others can all be used depending on how much trouble you want to go to. The transmission has torque limit of 800 if I remember correctly. @simp5782 will be along shortly to tell you about his big cam swaps. Are you Clint?

    Deuce Bed Questions

    It's lighter than that. 5ton beds are about 2000lbs. Sorry I don't have a closer number for a deuce bed.

    Anyone know what the MRAP wheel part number is for aluminums for gov planet?

    I don't have an M920, but i dont think so. I suspect that @silverstate55 can give us a definitive answer.

    Anyone know what the MRAP wheel part number is for aluminums for gov planet?

    I'm thinking that's the same bolt pattern that the M939 series uses and MRAP rims would be a no go.

    Anyone know what the MRAP wheel part number is for aluminums for gov planet?

    Steel LMTV rim. It's similar to but not identical to the 5ton 939series combat rim. It will fit M809series and M939series trucks.

    New to me m923a2 jack & jack stand recommendations?

    I had HF jackstands, and swapped all 6 wheels/tires with the truck on their jackstands. Then they recalled them. Never again. I'll never use HF for a critical safety device. I've got 6ton jackstands from Tractor Supply currently. They have an additional safety pin. I use a 20ton bottle...

    Shifting techniques of experienced Deuce Drivers

    It is, and double clutching shouldn't be absolutely necessary. As others have said, you can do it with no clutch at all.

    Shifting techniques of experienced Deuce Drivers

    Double clutch and increase rpm for the downshift.

    Shifting techniques of experienced Deuce Drivers

    What you're doing is ok except for going to neutral and brakes to stop. You want controlled downshifts all the way to 2nd (at least). There's two reasons for this. The first reason is that in case of a brake failure (far from impossible) you'll have much better control of the vehicle if you're...

    HMMWV at local auction, this will be interesting!

    While another A2 variant sold for $3100. There's no rhyme or reason.
