Actually, disconnecting one set of coils on each phase is exactly what I did. Then with it running and putting out heat it's still maxed out and will trip after a couple minutes, so I turn the voltage adjustment down until the gauge reads 110% load. I didn't use it myself that night, but my...

it's even more fun when you pull the runflat from one tire, but it into another and assemble it, only find the cracks/dryrot after inflating it, so you pull the runflat out of that one and put it into yet another, then fully assemble it, and have the same thing happen. I still haven't gotten...

Went for a walk through the woods today. Saw a shiny tag about head high in a bush, a few feet off the trail. 12338316-6 front spring for the M1114. I guess that is what they put on my M1123 when they added armor, otherwise I have no idea where it would have come from. I was just surprised to...

I know the feeling. While I don't run my 802 like you do your 804, I do love having it around.

I've greased mine multiple times. Using a pistol grip gun is much easier than a lever action gun as it allows you to hold the tip in place to start. Flex hose is also necessary to get in on the steering shaft U-joints and other tight places. Lincoln 1134 with flex hose coupler (the one on...

I didn't have an issue with a standard grease gun and flexible hose. I do know some guys that would love an extra skinny grease gun tip to do the intermediate shaft on their 900 series 5 ton though.

This is the version I used. As you can see a little different, but more strength for that portion.

I ran my top for half a year without the latches, but mine was the mid height top so a little stiffer overall. it shouldn't take much movement to hold it down, so you're mostly going for strength of the latch, if that makes sense. But any type of latch should work. I suppose they just went...

in the irrigation section of the hardware store they sell 20 mil PVC tape. I've been using it as a barrier for all my projects where there are dissimilar metals. https://www.homedepot.com/p/2-in-x-50-ft-20-Mil-Pipe-Wrap-Tape-53550/100179778

it's a heavy beast of a trailer, so just take your time getting to know how it handles. Also verify your trailer brake controller is compatible with electric over hydraulic, as not all brake controllers are.

steel barrels with just the bung hole will be better for this application. Less chance of any type of leak. The barrel might rust from the outside, but if you inspect it occasionally you should be able to see the rust and clean it up before it becomes an issue. The inside of the barrel should...

close. Question was more about how the tank was installed and what does it look like. I know in the Army I towed/took care of one of the larger trailers (HP-4 type) with a 35k and 12 ton ECU. When talking with the DRASH rep about it (we only had one rep in Eastern Asia) he said when he was...

So the conversations function on this site isn't very friendly to posting pics, and I'm going to just do it here instead because someone else might have a similar question about them. The question had to do with DRASH trailers and fuel tank. The model in question comes up in the HDT GLOBAL...

for trailer the 116A2 will likely be the cheapest of the options you find (it's the chassis under the 101 series) and take up less space than the other types. The 1101/1102 is pretty expensive and takes up a lot of space. Much too much space if you are planning on using it as a dedicated...

One possibility is your batteries are either too small of size or they are failing. Starting one of these trucks takes a lot of juice, so the battery gets drained down a lot. If the batteries get too low, you'll see voltage go up too high until they have enough of a charge for the regulator to...

You won't hurt it by putting break in oil into it, so if you have any doubts about whether it's fully broken in or not, go ahead and do it. Changing out other fluids (coolant) also won't hurt, especially since you don't actually know what type it is. Doing the change means you will know...

Some of this has been gone over in other posts, but I'll go ahead and go over everything as I see it anyway. When you say "home backup power" what is it that you really mean by that? to clarify: do you have outages that last for many hours or days on end, or do you have a couple hours without...

Yes the H1 centramatics work for the hmmwv. They are heavier/balance more weight than the 8x6.5 that they also sell. I and several others in my area have centramatics and we really like them. They will help with out of balance tires (up to 12 or 16 oz out of balance) but they won't do...

Just for our info, what is the generator size? Is it a 60 amp, 100, 200, 400 amp?

If RetiredWarHorses posted it, you can pretty much take it as gospel for these trucks. Short answer is: yes, it will cruise at highway speed more efficiently all else being the same. Slightly longer answer: depending on what gearing you are starting with, while it will be more efficient, it...
