    different colored diesel and low sulfur fuel

    There is a difference between #1 and #2 diesel, the #2 is more viscous and used in warmer weather. There may be a slight difference in color and if your FDC is bypassed the #2 will also give you more power for a given foot petal position since it's a higher BTU fuel. Use some 10W or fresh...

    To MEP-016A-C or not to MEP-016A-C

    Good point about the "120VAC only". Reason for my 10KW head failure is now heavily in favor of seriously unbalanced loading, which must have overheated the stator windings. The dirt and gravel inside the housing may have played a role, but it's now less likely, considering how we used it.

    Start of my crane truck project

    The HIAB is attached with bolts to the frame in a clamping fashion. It wouldn't be that time consuming to raise it on its outriggers and boom as a tri-pod, unbolting it, disconnecting the hydraulics and drive off...(small image, will try to locate the original photo...)

    Alcohol evaporator needed ?

    Hmm...the military vaporizer is designed to let the compressor draw alcohol vapor along with the air to be compressed when running, it's not an "in-line" type of thing. As far as the fluid, the military specifies methyl alcohol.

    Mx-7777/a

    Yeah Bruce, I agree with Kurt, if you have to spend more money on it, get the "B" model.

    Light switch modification

    Guys, filament type lights will have what's called an "inrush current", which can be 5 (five) times or more the rated current. Relay contacts should be selected, taking this into consideration. Properly specified relays or contacts should have the "lamp load" listed. An overly sensitive CB may...

    VIC-1 placement

    The hard top may offer additional placement options, but it should also fit behind the passenger seat (deuce cab is similar) and all is turned on/off via the MX7777 below the passenger seat. I kept the headsets suspended above and behind for out-of-the-way stowage.

    Official 2011 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I'd love to go, but have worked on my house (adding a bathroom) for some time and the MV's have second place among priorities at the moment. There is no insurance or registration and no spare cash. This fixed income retirement thing is not good and living out in the boonies make it hard to find...
