    Alternative Fuel For M998

    WMO contains abrasive particles that you just can't filter out. Cost of accelerated wear > value of fuel savings.

    MILSPEC 2 conductor 16 ga shielded cable

    I've got several 18' sections of cable, with amphenol 14-5 connectors on one end, and 3/8 ring connectors on the other. It's 4 conductor at the distal end, but you could combine the conductors to make it two, or just dead end the two you don't need. It's milspec with armor between the...

    MILSPEC 2 conductor 16 ga shielded cable

    There's white insulated copper pairs designed to be used inside walls. It's typically about $0.30/ft @ 16ga. There's black insulated copper pairs rated for direct burial and used for things like outside lighting. Cost is something like $0.60 per foot. I haven't seen anything military...

    Is it true of all the slews of bugs that the deuce has?

    Almost any newly acquired truck is going to need you to go through it. Brakes in particular deserve a good hard look. There's a bunch of stuff that may need attention up front. But once you've completed this initial service, you're unlikely to put enough miles on it to need to do anything...

    Is it true of all the slews of bugs that the deuce has?

    Trail truck in the swamps will likely require additional maintenance. Hubs and axle seals.

    What's the best safest way to charge 6tl batteries

    I use one of these. It does 24V through the slave port to keep all the batteries at full charge, or it can be clipped to one battery at a time @12V to pulse/resurrect/compensate for uneven charging.

    M54 5-Ton Market Vallue

    Looks nice. Has winch. Upgraded seats. G177s. Clearly someone loved it. Presuming clean transferable AZ title. I'd be asking $15k. My suggestion- pay the fee and put it in the classifieds here.

    Made it to the Glacier!!!!

    If the winch doesn't pull hard enough, simply add a snatch block and double the pull, at half the speed. No big deal, unless you're impatient.

    M939A2 hood undercoating

    Your climate isn't mine. I tend to just pull the foam and not replace with anything....

    M939A2 hood undercoating

    The foamy insulation holds water. I'd blame it on that.

    Question about Removing CTIS valves and balancing weights from tires

    I bought an M925A1 that had an A2 wheel and CTIS wheelweight on it, driver side front wheel. It went on towbars behind another truck. The unbalance was not noticeable under those conditions. It was probably fantastically dangerous. I towed it this way a couple hundred miles. After I got it...

    Whats the rate for a Arctic Top?

    On the other hand, it's not a common item, so if you find yourself in need of one the value may be high. But $350 seems reasonable to me for both the buyer and the seller.

    night vision driving inexpensively to your offroad camp spot... Lanmodo

    Having given it some thought, I came up with a scenario where it would be useful - you're at a star party campout and need to depart. While other attendees are still observing and still have astrophotography running. Turning on any lights would ruin it. Granted, it's a very limited use....

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    I don't think so. VT's documents supersede that old title. Presumably, the VT issuing agency notified the existing titling authority about the title change. Even if not, current owner has a physical copy of the released title in his possession. The previous owner hypothetically claiming it...

    5w40 diesel oil

    The price of copper cable has almost doubled as well. What I used to get for $99 is now $185. This is designed and deliberate.

    Yeah, counter weight needs to go.
