So I'm currently buying an M720 shelter dolly. I've been reading up, and can't find anywhere that anyone that has done an electric brake conversion with one of these. I do not have an air brake capable vehicle to tow it with, so looking at what are my possible options. it looks like there are...

For the 101A2 the hmmwv rims and tires sit in a little too far, and you are very likely to be rubbing the tire on the parking brake cable due to the 8" offset on the rims. For the original question, if your rims are only 4" offset then I see no reason why they shouldn't fit, provided you don't...

usually if it just needs a field flash, then you'll be down in the 2-5VAC range, at least that is my experience with other brands of generators. I have little experience with the gen you are asking about, but my first places to check on any unit not producing electricity are voltage at all the...

I don't know, but hopefully someone with some experience using it will chime in, or they might have mentioned it in another thread. If nothing else you can check the manufacturer's website for what prep is required. My understanding is they have several varieties. One for heat, one for sound...

ear muffs. More specifically: https://www.deltapluscorp.com/en_US/article-details/-/article-details/ear-defenders/com-muff-comconnect-bt/p/WELCOM660NRW_/ST15/545/0/53208 I think I paid about $110 earlier this year on ebay. Batteries last a long time, I listen to books when I drive, and when...

So latest update: As of this point I have received only one part of the 5 that I ordered. Apparently any item made up of multiple components may not actually be in their inventory at this point, and you will have to wait for it to be manufactured. I cancelled 2 of the items because one of...

My 1999 truck was overhauled in 2009 and got a rebuilt GEP motor from 2005 according to the casting.

I'd imagine that with a solid roof you can use a standard B pillar instead of the turret setup, and turning around and selling the turret roof and supports might even turn a profit.

Any competent welding shop or body shop should be able to weld in metal in place of the turret hole to make it disappear.

There is a decently hefty piece of ABS plastic that bolts to the bottom of the condenser. Looks like it's designed to be able to bolt to armor pieces or something to the front and rear, but isn't required to in order to be protected. From the shape of it I might have to clean it out once in a...

so the leak was where the high side port threads into the tube on the evaporator unit. For the moment I pulled it out just a little, wrapped some teflon gas pipe tape around it, and tightened it back down. I sprayed it all down with contact cleaner, will see in the morning if it is still...

One other different thing about it, all 4 sides were bolted on, like they cut everything but the corners off and started from there. All the pictures I can find of these shelters show them as single units, no side panels held on with bolts. Didn't get a chance to look inside this time, but...

So on to a different thing I did over the weekend with a different trailer. Though only partially about the trailer, there isn't a "what did you do with your "other" equipment today" thread in the "other auxiliary equipment" page. Helped with a recovery on a shelter. Wasn't much space behind...

So used it last weekend, it was hooked up to a buddy's Base-X 303 tent. Was enough to keep it comfortable in 90 degree weather in a field, and more than warm enough overnight. Not sure how much fuel I actually used as I put about 40 gallons into the tank on the way there, but everything worked...

So update, the system works great. In 80 degree weather and the AC on low I have to turn on the heater to keep from being too cold. Only issue I'm having now is the high side port is leaking a little refrigerant. Coming from the side of the fitting, so I'm hoping it's an easy replacement...

The 6.5 GM is definitely better, it took care of a few issues with the 6.2, but also has some of it's own. The 6.5 GEP is better than the 6.5 GM, took care of some metallurgy and heat soak issues still found in the GM block. Look at it this way, if the 6.2 was better, then why did they stop...

No way that I know of to get rid of it. When GM stopped manufacturing the blocks and Navistar took over (General Engine Products, or GEP for short) they changed the metallurgy of the block and I believe changed the design a little in order to take care of those issues. Now that we have...

while physically possible, it's really not cost effective if you are trying to do it properly. Requires a bunch of new parts, lots of labor, and in the end most people will recommend that you just install a used 6.5 turbo motor and 4 speed transmission to install instead. These aren't...

doghouse assembly is the engine cover you remove from inside the cab of the truck.

As for what oil to use, any good quality 15W40 will do. Some people argue against synthetic claiming their stuff leaked after using it, but it has better protection than conventional does, especially for extreme weather. As for filters, this list/ranking is pretty comprehensive...
