So there is a product that would make this somewhat easy, but is rated for generators 10kw or less (the 803 is actually a 12k gen that's been derated for military use) Generlink MA24 transfer switch plugs into the power meter, between the meter assembly and the base. Doesn't require any...

I can't tell you what your local regulations/codes are, so the below is just general information. 1) you should only have to disconnect the hot lines, not the neutral, so 2 pole is usually sufficient. 2) Yes, you can do do a transfer switch between the utility meter and your electrical panel...

All I could find was, looking up the part number for the pintle, it's rated for 18,000 lbs.

the dull orangish light is probably better on the eyes when driving at night. The bright white is kind of harsh on the eyes, especially when trying to switch between dark outside and bright gauges.

we've become spoiled with modern anti-lock brakes and all the fancy electronics in modern vehicles. On an empty truck, due to how the brake system is proportioned, it's very easy to lock up the rear wheels until you get used to them. The brake system is set up for optimal braking with full...

are the doors bulletproof? Not really. The supplemental armor on the fiberglass doors is designed as frag armor, meaning to stop fragments from bombs and stuff like that. It will stop some small arms fire, like most common pistol rounds (as a buddy of mine tested with his doors with the...

Yes, Red Dot is a Seattle based company that manufactures add on aircon units for the commercial/industrial sector.

Just to be completely clear: It is a different condenser for the fender mount configuration, and they are different for each side as well. The one with the Red Dot unit is too big. Depending on how you have your truck set up, there isn't so much a right and wrong as there is a "this is how...

Yes, you can upgrade them later. You need the shafts and the hub input gear, as the shafts use a different size spline into the hub. Any truck will be good enough, if you want to dump the money into it. Spring mounts, springs, ball joints, steering components, and lots of other little stuff...

I'll second the above. You really don't want to run an alternator near max continuously. Depending on what type of tractor it is, you might be able to swap out the alternator for one with a larger output.

The M1123 is identical to the M998A2 for almost everything. Marines wanted the truck without the rear bumper and to have the deep water fording stuff already installed. The M998 or M998A1 is a different frame part number than the A2 trucks. So depending if the M998 rolling chassis is an A0 or...

I have a soft top. I added a solid piece of metal to mount the evaporator in the cab, then purchased a fender mount condenser instead of the bulky external unit because I've changed my configuration a few times and actually use my rig as a truck, not a showpiece. my thread on that...

don't need the tallest extensions, but do need a little in order to not hit the aluminum of the tub as the arms flex under the weight. Tall screw jacks are to prevent the truck from rocking off the front or back of the lift arms if the center of gravity shifts. With the lift arms so close...

even with the stud/nut still sitting there, the stud itself can shear between the manifold and that nut. It's easier to inspect it for that from the top. part of the issue on mine was that the exhaust manifold flange wasn't machined flat, so the stud would bend to the side as it was tightened...

evaporator unit bolted to the rear wall on the inside, so those long tubes blew into the driver's area. Condenser bolted on the outside of the back wall, or possibly on the roof.

on my truck it once appeared that the power steering pump was out of alignment. What it turned out to be was the rear bracket that secures the generator to the engine (on my truck it went to an exhaust manifold stud)had the exhaust stud broken off,a broken gen/PS bracket bolt, and the last 2...

Stalling, turning off, and unable to move in drive sounds a lot like a fuel system issue. Revving the engine with no load on it doesn't require very much fuel compared to trying to move it, and in H it takes more power than in L Code 71 is a transmission issue; it has nothing to do with how the...

as far as I know, they are all mechanical.

I buy the Lucas Multi-Vehicle ATF at NAPA Reading the tech data sheet on it, it meets DEX 1, 2 ,and 3, but not DEX 6. Going by Viscosity, at 40C it's 38.3, so higher than the numbers springer listed above. Also it specifically states it is recommended for use in all power steering applications...

personally, I'm running DEXIII in my power steering. I'm not constrained like the military supply chain to minimizing the amounts of different fluids I stock for my equipment, so I see no reason to use a single fluid if there are others that are better.
