Stupid advice... Really stupid. 1. Fuses are slow blow, or fast blow. Most fuses need to exceed their rating by %200 or MORE to 'instantly' blow. 2. Do not use circuit breakers, in a dead short, dealing with high amperage, you're likely to fuse the breaker, welding the contacts together. 3...

Not a problem. We have more guns than they do. :tank:

Ditto. The factory fuel filter has a built in heater, IIRC. Doesn't help the tank, though.

Suspect GPs.

Why not stud your tires?

After a low battery situation toasted all 8 of my glow plugs.... I ran a 2ga wire to the 12V bus, and from the bus, to the glow plug relay.. making the glow plugs get 12V instead of going through the resistor... Installed 8 new AC60G glow plugs, and crimped on new connectors because of the...

uparmored HMMWVs are what you're looking for. Possibly an MRAP or Stryker. I doubt you'll find an MRAP or Stryker, though ;) I don't think you'd find an uparmored HMMWV either, TBH. Best bet would be to contact the PIO/PAO of the NG and see if you can't steal one for a day. You'd be surprised...

What vintage? Clarify on what a 'personnel transport' is?

With a spare 12V battery, you CAN leave HID headlights, and tail lights, and parking lamps, on for 12 hours, and still crank the engine over with ease... In case anyone was wondering... Ask me how I know. :D THIS is why I overengineer my power supply. Murphy.

Home depot has NPT nipples + NPT ball valves, in addition to NPT-> barbed. That's how I did mine.

I used the Attwood Marine fuel filter/water separator from Wallyworld. It's a 10 micron fuel filter/water separator. http://www.walmart.com/ip/FUEL-WATER-SEPARATOR-KIT/11071204 I added a ball valve with a nipple on it, and attached a small hose. I can stick the hose into a bottle, leave it...

I thought it was 4300 base. What's the 4854?

I will be on CB19 and 146.52 for most of the trip down, FYI.

Ditto, except I don't get off until 1900 tomorrow night, and I still have to swap fuel filters (spin on mod) and install the CB/antenna. Looks like I'm getting up early tomorrow. As far as rolling slowdown, I have more than enough warning power to my rear, so if we do need to slow down/stop...

'Thanked' , oh-dark thirty @ Tacoma Mall. Anything you guys need?

LOL. I was there when it was loaded on the trailer, and helped get the cap back on.... :-p

So, I noticed on my tailgate that I have black spots that look like oil stains, but smell like fuel.. They won't come off.. I also noticed my back window pretty caked with soot, although there is no excess smoke while driving, just a small puff of black smoke when starting... In addition, on...

Federal Signal Vista on bottom, a bunch of streethawks, and what looks to be a code3 lp6000, and a aerodynic. About $50-$100 a piece.

I thought I would take up the rear.... Link :-P

fixt. Corroded/tarnished battery connectors and bad crimps on o-ring connectors on starter relay.
