    Ugly Birdsnest on Winch

    Unless it is a emergency where you need the cable NOW and if that is the case be very very careful because you are using damaged cable, just cut it off and start over, the cable is not worth wasting a lot of time on, CUT from the side.

    Leaking spring brake chamber

    To be SURE the caging bolt will hold, BEFORE you loosen the band, give the end of the tightened cage bolt a good hit with a 2/3 lb hammer, other then scarring the crap out of you if the bolt lets go, nothing will happen, better to have it let go now then the once the band is removed and the pot...

    Another thought, Just REMOVE THE LATCH, It is not really needed, just something the "military" liked.

    What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

    If the frame is NOT built for a side dump, the frame WILL be baldly stressed, with the out riggers out will make things worse.

    NHC250 EGT pyrometer and gauge install finished

    I would be REAL CAREFUL going to 2350 rpm, this is getting REAL close to valve float and valve kiss which starts at 2400, The 855 series is not designed as a hi rpm engine, it has fairly long rods, valves that WILL start to float at about 2400, to make a high rpm 855, it gets different valves...

    Found out torque wrench is not accurate *after* rear main seal job

    If you have a GOOD toque wrench, DO NOT self calibrate it, if there is a life time warranty, it will go away the instant you you screw with it, if you want to self calibrate, go buy a cheapy.

    M929 "Dump Body Safety Latch": Does it bang upon opening?

    What is happening is the latch is not releasing all the way, so the bed maves a bit till the latch stops it, then moves again with the bang when the lift cylinders build enough pressure to power though the the partial released latch, the bed comes down and latches without the bang because the...

    2nd 12v alternator on nhc 250

    I would NOT run a duel voltage, first the cost, second, if one side (12v) goes down which may screw with the reg., (maybe over/under charge issue) which could mean a dead truck, in order to fix the 12v side, the alt. needs to go to the shop, which means that the truck is down. You can get a 24v...

    Need help calibrating fuel sending unit for MEP-004

    A MARKED STICK is the BEST military fuel gauge, fill it up, stick it, work it for a hour, stick it, you now know how much fuel is used in a hour, the ONLY thing the lies worse then a military fuel gauge IS a politician. It is funny, the fuel gauge is one of the most important items on any...
