    SECM Manual HMMWV

    I think it's still classified since it shares the body with EOD. Ditto with M1031..

    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    You must not be reading my posts, because I've said that twice now... :LOL: You're pretty well hosed in CA. I think they consider anything over 16K or has more than 2 axles to be considered commercial. Even a deuce falls under their commercial vehicle laws.

    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    That's SC. Other states have other laws. Some states allow you to drive virtually anything if it's not in commerce, other states require add'l licensure, such as a non-CDL class A or B.

    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    .12 micron wouldn't be caught by a .5 micron filter, in this case (obviously). The question is, if factory filters are usually 10-20 micron, what contaminants are they letting in that wouldn't do damage, that these .12 micron contaminants would. For reference, the thickness of a human hair is...

    South Carolina has a Class F non-commercial license... https://www.scdmvonline.com/Driver-Services/Drivers-License/Non-Commercial-License---Classes-E-F

    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    'Filtration won't remove them' is what I was keying on. If someone is filtering down to .05 microns, and polishing fuel, then it should catch 2 micron particles. There are nominal and absolute ratings, and that needs to be taken into account when purchasing filters.

    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    A 0.5 micron filter won't remove 2 micron particulates? Gotta explain that one. That's like saying a 1ft wide hole can accept a 4ft wide piece of wood.

    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    I'll try to make this brief. The multifuel engine is designed to run on various fuels as a design feature. This is why it needs stuff like the FDC (fuel density compensator) to run those multiple fuels. It also has relatively loose tolerances to accommodate the differences.. The NHC250 is...

    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    Ease of acquiring parts. I had an M934. It was as simple as pulling up the TM, and calling Cummins with the part numbers and picking them up an hour later. The army and other branches went pretty hardcord on the COTS parts bandwagon (Commercial Off The Shelf) in the 80s and 90s, and tried to...

    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    M939 5 ton has power steering, full air brakes, and a larger cab, and is easier to work on, IMO. However, it doesn't have a multifuel engine, but can run WMO if filtered properly and can run on some (but not much) gas mixed with WMO/Diesel.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I kept seeing the 'in memorial' on your avatar... I knew you were honoring Ron with him as your pic, but made it look like you were dead as well...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Yes, but how many people dish out the duckets for a quality lock, and instead, go to Home Depot or similar and buy the first Masterlock they see? I was able to rake open one of their disc locks in like 3 seconds... and this was one of their 'top security' $30 locks... Looks beefy, but can be...

    Problem is, most puck locks can be unlocked with a raking tool as quick if not quicker than using a key. It's a pretty good visual deterrent though.

    A good reminder. Quite a few people don't know that.

    WA State Collector Vehicle Plates and Weights?

    Sorry I'm late. 1. CDL is only required if over 26K and used in commerce. 2. DOT # is only required if over 26K and used in commerce. 3. Collectors vehicle plates require the vehicle be registered first, which entails paying tonnage, HOWEVER, there's a little known law allowing you to pay...

    My comment was merely pointing out that he said that heaters are still out there that do both, then linked to one that only did ONE as his cite/proof. We both know they're out there still, just pretty rare, as they were a relatively short-lived phenomenon in the CDH (Chinese Diesel Heater)...
