    20kw Generator - Drash / Applied trailer battery question

    The J1 port is 60 Amps of 208v 3phase. I run that to a PD box that splits it into 120v single phase and also has a pass through for another J1 connector. I wired up an adapter that grabs 2 of the 3 legs from that port and supplies 208v single phase. I plug the welder or plasma cutter into that...

    20kw Generator - Drash / Applied trailer battery question

    They come in a couple of sizes. The smaller one is 23kW and 3 phase. It uses about a gallon an hour of fuel whether mildly loaded or running full load. I have one and use it for primary power for offgrid property as well as a power source for welding and plasma cutting. I'm accessing it as 120v...

    395's on mrap rims with adapter plates. This is as big as you can go with an unaltered deuce. (Also pictured next to the stock 9.00R20 for comparison)

    11.00R20 G177s. This is as big as you can safely go on the stock rims.

    Can 3 phase environmental control units be converted or used on single phase?

    This! A 3phase mil genset is less $ than a phase converter with enough oomph to run HVAC.

    Is my M813 sprag sticking?

    Forgive me for asking the obvious.... but you're aware of the atypical shift pattern on these trucks right? You *are* in 5th gear?

    M816 14.00 duals

    I doubt it. At least not without spacers between the wheels. And what you can get away with empty will change with a load and some sidewall flex.

    M816 14.00 duals

    98" with 11.00's. The 14.00's should put it about 104" at minimum and possibly a good deal wider. Legal max is 102" without using placards. I like the way it looks. The stance is spot on. This should also increase load handling and crane stability. I'd be interested in a measured width...

    Will a humvee key switch work in a M-series truck?

    What you have pictured is a 939series truck. I strongly suspect it'll work in an 809 series truck.

    best place/way to buy m35a2?

    All of the data plates are available new. No big deal.

    Question: Has anyone installed the AC system made by restomod air?

    I'm not sure that the opinion of a guy in Florida about the heating capabilities is relevant to the guy in Colorado who is asking. Something about different definitions of "cold". Sadly, I have nothing relevant to add.

    best place/way to buy m35a2?

    Tax return time usually produces a spike in prices. Fall is probably the low point in the price cycle.

    Distracted Driving

    Anyone have a distracted driving encounter lately? With all the focus on texting and driving what I'm seeing these days is a change from holding the phone up above the dash to glance at it. What I'm seeing these days is hiding the phone below the dash so that the phone can't be seen from...

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    If he's concerned about color matching.... at this point the best thing to do would be to just prep and shoot the entire truck. (House paint over the more or less intact CARC). Even if he manages to do a partial paint job to match the rest of the faded CARC now, in 6 months it'll no longer...

    Louisiana to Salton Sea, CA - Back - Xmas 2018

    Those rocks are at the Texas Canyon rest area on I 10. Always a good place to stop. 60 miles east of tucson should have you right around karchner caverns at the 302 exit... Enjoy your evening.

    M925 front axle will not lock in freezing temps

    Thing is.... there's not really a reason to further troubleshoot. This is textbook (TM?) PPV failure due to moisture.

    M925 front axle will not lock in freezing temps

    Item #3 convinces me it's the PPV. Nothing downstream from the PPV is seeing air. This includes your air dryer expello valve and your air governor. The pressure relief valve venting at 150psi is separate from your air dryer which should sneeze at 120psi or so. The culprit is moisture in the...

    Louisiana to Salton Sea, CA - Back - Xmas 2018

    It has changed.... It has gotten much WORSE. I lived in CA in the early to mid 90's. I'm currently in CA for a 3mo assignment. I'm appalled at the shear amount of litter everywhere. Much worse than last time I was here (Monterey county) and much worse than any of the recent assignments (...

    Mounting options?

    I have not drilled a single hole in mine. Any modifications I do use existing holes. (Ammo can center console, license plate, etc.) My philosophy is to leave the truck unmolested and make my mods fit the truck instead of making the truck fit the mods. Your truck. Your call.

    M936 - Prices?

    $10k or so to most people. For the person who particularly appreciates those particular mods, closer to $20k.
