Got started in SketchUp last night, starting on the solid tonight when I get home from work...

My 2cents, put a foam covered paper filter back on... I ran a K&N filter in my Toyota pickup for a few years, one time I went to clean the throttle body as part of a tune-up - there was a fine oily dust coating the entire interior of the intake. All that crap came through the air filter and...

My focus is getting things "unbroken" for now, once everything stops leaking and isn't falling apart I'll start on cleaning up the body more and then will move to paint and trim. Like all projects where the base is old, the more you touch, the more you find. I'm further slowed by the fact that...

Time with kids and laundry kept me from making the headlight harness today, and I'm not sure if I'm going to have time tonight to go for a solo ride for sound mapping. That said, today was not a total wash... Pulled the old grille (what was left of it) and started some work in the front end...

Installed LED blackout light (Trucklite), new grill (NOS), un-bent the NATO port, fixed glow plug system :beer:

California bureau of automotive repair directs service shops that if the tires are 10+ years old, the shop may only touch them to replace them.

That's the idea, and with time alignment and fixed/measured distance I can do real-time radio direction finding. :mrgreen: A replica can be done with 4" pvc pipe painted tan... It has to do with wave lengths and antenna distance. If you put two antennas within the incorrect wave length the...

Thier book doesn't include the CUCV values. When I did two tires on the M1009 in the fall (sidewall tread separation on 11 year-old tires), I brought the technical manual with me. The factory manual overrides their book apparently. 1403 sounds like 14th week of 2003, and if that's right, that...

Sound is, at its most fundamental construction, a periodic variance in air pressure. Anywhere air is allowed to pass, cracks, gaps, windows, vents, etc... sound gets through. Door seals and window gaskets don't just keep out weather, they also keep outside souds outside. This is why modern...

Looks decent [thumbzup] I haven't forgotten about the drawing, I did it in Photoshop and it didn't come out as well as I'd like, so I'm redoing it in SketchUp. It'll be a real 3D model that way that you can look at.

A few new leaks have popped up this week, transmission rear seal, and the transfer case seal for the rear axle output... I'll be doing the headlight harness on Monday, as well as a 12V H4 installation in the AutoPal fixtures I bought. I'm also planning on digging into the glow plug system so...

Have any idea what the date code was on them?

If you want to buy new, try First RF for the last one. Yes they $$$sell$$$ to the public (at least they did when I talked to them over a year ago), BUT expect to pay more for that antenna than for a new 6.5L engine long block... I'm saving my bottle-caps for a set of four of them :mrgreen...

I just remembered I have a box of those Trucklite BO lights in storage - time to put one on the M1009 [thumbzup]. As others have said, Halogen will keep the LEO from "probable cause" stops since they look stock for an 1980's truck. They are also cheap to replace. If you're looking for an...

Uh no... To put 70PSI through a 1/2" air line you need about 38 Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) of compressed air capacity (storage/compression). The video shows three feed lines of at least 1/2" going into that turbine, but they are more likely 3/4" lines (about 57CFM @ 70psi). 114 - 171CFM is a...

That's very pretty. Of course I say that while it's 60°F (15°C) right now outside my window...

Indeed one must also consider the transmission losses of everything - just like the resistance of wire loss, air must be plumbed through pipes and tanks. Belts must go around sheaves, etc... If you were going to compress refrigerant with air pressure, a direct acting refrigerant pump would be...

Ground Resonance can "just happen", and with catestophic results as seen. The main rotor blades are not simply rigid like you might think, there is some up and down, forwards and backwards (relative to rotation) play - think of it like suspension for the rotor blades. The helicopter's landing...

Fusible link, or many, are most likely toast.

Then of course you need to carry a DMM with a Slave cable set. Yes, as designed, this circuit is a hole drilled in the back of each slave plug end and an LED glued in place (watertight), and the circuit taps power from the cable lugs inside the connector body (I've spec'd springs to do this in...
