    Widow maker rims

    Ido lots of this style rims every summer and once the tire and bead ring are set there is no way the snap ring can come out. I had a big dock forklift this summer with 2 bad lock rings on it they needed to be replaced because they were sprung, this is where accidents likely come from, some one...

    LMTV Conversion to 12V

    i guess when my nehoff alternator dies i will look for an alternative, right now it seems to be pretty robust i jump start equipment and run winches off of mine with no problems. i think converting is going to cause more problems. plus you would give up the advantage of a 24 v starter for teh cold

    M37 Mystery Problem

    most important check and adjust your point gap if you don't get proper coil saturation you will not get a hot spark. i like doing the condenser with the points the condensers job is to prevent arcing and material transfer on the points

    Mule lights kill engine?

    Lights shouldn't kill the mule , the engine is equipped with a magneto. to kill the engine you ground the terminal on the mag. i would look to see if some one thought they could get power for lights of the mag terminal thinking its a battery positive terminal like a vw coil.

    Take a look at the alternator mounting bracketry, i have seen the rear twisted mounts crack and let the front mount bolts brake, if anything is loose in the mounting of the alternator you can have the squeak you describe.

    part time fire truck

    the fuel pods are baffled and aluminum dot mc- 406 spec tanks one of those on the truck and one on a trailer should work fine for you but you aren't going to be responding very fast you are right that 5 to 600 gallons will be a heavy load for an lmtv and even one fuel pod in the back may...

    part time fire truck

    i dont know what baffle balls are but i would imagine they will take up a lot of space dropping your quantity quite a bit. I would go with a couple 600 gallon fuel podds they are baffled and having multiple compartments will let you keep one podd full until the other one is empty limiting...

    part time fire truck

    i would go with a lower trailer like a generator trailer or the 989 trailer . As im a tanker truck cdl holder i have to ask your tank is baffled, if you are running off road with a liquid load and a nonbaffled ASME tank, the slosh will likely flip your load over, this would be even worse in an...
