You’re sure it’s running and not just spinning? Mine spins but isn’t under load. Sounds like afterburners when it kicks in. I thought I read somewhere that if the valve was bypassed or bad it would remain ‘on’ all the time but I’ll search for that. Was one of those random read the forums...
Just for fun because we shoot movies here. Whipped this up in 10 mins with crap in the shop to kill a few mins waiting for a client. It would actually pass as a background vehicle on film haha. Don’t roast me too bad.......
I believe you’re correct and the term GUN TRUCK is being misused. Now armour a deuce with quad-50’s..... that’s a gun truck. Strike vehicle would be more appropriate

I did! Most of you won’t ship to Canukistan lol. I live close to the border. It’s easier to use my US address - usually cheaper because international shipping is ridiculous

Already ordered an OEM replacement complete bottle/pump unit. If it lasts several years like the one I yanked I’m happy. I won’t be running the corrosive/methanol garbage in it - I make my own blue fluid. I like to support American and Canadian when I can
