The 5-ton gassers were not short on horsepower. One of our club members had one and it could keep up with everything but a Mutt... Even if he did get 3 MPG.

US military blackout lighting systems were engineered for use in night combat convoy ops. The BO drive headlamp was always on the driver's side, and painted a small light pattern so the driver could see the road edge, and blackout markers were on each corner, front and rear. The rear...

They were engineered into the brake system to ensure proper operation under any conditions. Removal would make an accident more likely to occur, especially in today's traffic. If you don't want to or can't repair everything in the G742 series (or any tactical vehicle, for that matter) trucks...

A special nut is made for joining two pieces of 'ready-rod' or 'all-thread' in 5/16NC or 3/8NC thread. Maybe use one of those, with the high current lugs on the first thread, and the others under a short cap screw.

Schweet!

Marvin was some cool guy, had his giant shop there in Tacna, and an auto parts store in Yuma.

I know that truck. It was designed to pull the tactical vehicle dynamometer trailer to different testing location on the million square mile Yuma Proving Grounds. t was sold thru DRMO years ago, and Marvin Tipton in Tacna, AZ bought it. When he passed, I don't know where it wound up.

My mom was born in Germany, so I have a bit of Benz blood. I still drive their cars today, tho nothing that modern.

This is the lever assembly you want: eBay 235401329602 or one like it. It is the most robust one out there. Nartron makes a lot of the OEM electrical parts for the HumV, don't see any clones of them for sale.

The only time MPG is a concern, is when I'm taking it on a longer trip, and where to buy fuel at the best deal. Or if I should load up some barrels to cover the trip, like I did in California. Locally, I don't care.

The Mack engines seem to get a little better mileage than the multifuels, from what I've heard. When I was driving to the Big Bear rally in Modesto, Ca, it was a about 750 mi from home, and I used a bit over 100 gallons of Diesel. A friend of mine had a gasser M54, he got a bit over 3MPG. Ouch.

Howzabout "Dark Matter"?

And the solid-state flasher modules are potted in epoxy...

I'd put a 10 amp fuse inline with the overall power feed to the directionals system. Even with the 'real deal' parts, they are very prone to failure from even a bulb burning out and causing a very quick short. Trailer wiring faults can cause a multitude of sins in the system as well.

If I ever did a nanotube black paintjob on a truck, it would be named the "Black Hole".

That is my average, in putting over 25,000 miles on it since it came from the auction back in the early 90's.

There was dried-out Foxtail grass everywhere, and I got most of it soaked on the leeward side of the fence so it wouldn't burn thru before the VFD arrived.

My M54A1 gets 7MPG in hot weather, 7.5 in cold.

I fired up the old girl in a hurry and got her out of the path of this brushfire we had last Friday. It came right up to our fenceline, luckily I had enough time to get some water on that area so it didn't cross. All told, it burned almost a hundred acres of nearby desert, but no structures...

I won't do civvy big truck wheels with radials or lockrings.. One is a bitch, the other is just too sketchy.
