Look for other marks, on paint, on other vehicles. The police may have info on other nearby incidents. If not they may have in the near future so having your info can't hurt. JimK

Not 5 ton issue but for discussion- The V-100 was designed with Detroit type lockers front and rear. This may be handy off road but mandatory when swimming. That's because all the tires need to rotate to propel it in water (with any efficiency, and I use that word loosely). Being selectable 4x4...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Lockers To elaborate on Kennys comment, If you lift one tire a detroit locker will allow rotation by hand (neutral or driveshaft out) . There is a noticeable clicking noise.If you rotate the driveshaft/yoke it will lock and not turn as one tire is on the ground. If you lift...

I have a WWII video clip of it getting loaded,elevated, fired and the target, all times 2 or 3. It is 500K, B/W , no sound, maybe 15 seconds, no apparent copyright tag. I can e-mail it (after a few days to collect all addresses PM to me, then will send combined) or can add to video gallery...

Good info at factory site- http://www.paccarwinch.com/service/wormidentify.asp left sidebar 'manuals and doc' does not list the MU2A. It usually has the obsolete stuff. Maybe check mod again. Here are the[unspecified] materials lists and spec sheets.The former has great cut away and exploded...

Filters can show trapped air and still be ok. Blowing (lungs) thru the filter is a good test. Do not blow in the outlet as it will ruin the test. Test is what you want to do cause when you see the problem you can be confident it was fixed. A clogged filter and flooding are unrelated problems A...

I looked at one near Albany,NY this summer when picking up Dave P's M59. It sported 14:00x20's and was at least 9ft wide. The width is a problem on the highway for more than one reason. It is was, and may still be, for sale. It was unrestored, probably reasonable. I can fwd [your] contact info...

Well, opinions vary. The NYSDOT Heavy Commercial Inspection Unit is my source. This is the NY State Police Haz- Mat teams and DOT truck inspection crews. We sit around a lot and talk shop so my hobby trucks will be in compliance. I carry some magazines if I every get lucky enough to find the...

if the police have issued tickets there is a good chance there was an accident. Even if you're not at fault being outside the law is often a reason others use to shift blame. Breakdown triangles, fire extinguisher, trailer break away system, conspicutivity tape are not required for non-...

If you reach the weight threshold you need a class A or B license. IF there is a state 'exemption' you should certain and be prepared to prove it (i.e. the army is exempt). You need a class A or B CDL license if you operate for hire/profit/placards/15+pass. JimK

There is a split rim explosion video clip in the steelsoldiers video gallery. See: "sniper vs tire", JimK

I like the idea, just too many other projects, and my towing seems to dictate -no change- right now. For those happy at 55mph (like me) there are some really big advantages. Better fuel economy, longer engine life, reduced noise... The new engine rpm will run at peak torque for those at 60mph (...

Thanks, I was looking for a utilitarian look. like the cab. Autometer also makes a single,dual and triple panel. I think the 'melting probe' fear comes from an extremely rare event, one almost always was caused by someone who had a pyrometer and failed to use it. Like Will W's example of some...

Panel is Autometer clamped with a u bolt. The R607 1200 pyrometer has a post turbo probe. Gauges were chosen to get full use of the dials. The back of the new boost gauge had to be painted black as the clear plastic lets a lot of light thru. IP is set for 12.5psi at 2500rpm. Turbo is the D...

Not info you are looking for, but the thermocouple produces -~1.6mV at 0°F and 26.0mV at 1200°F . Pretty amazing it's all that drives the unamplified guage. JimK

I think Tom means: V/R=I (amps) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohms_law

and The older Isspro gauges do not need an outside power source(exc light). The newer ones (w/four digits) have an 12V amplifier box. I don't think Isspro sells the older design anymore. I found a used 0-1200*F (#607?) Isspro on on e-bay. It has no amp.box. The only compalint is the face trim...

Or you could run the gauge off one bat.JimK

The Banks article states I had always thought 200-250*F was the norm, so I was surprised it could be this high, and from a reputable source. Still, I don't worry [about excessive EGT at part throttle] because at part throttle I always see an immediate and fast drop from peak EGT's, as soon as...
