A pair of 6TL in good shape and fully charged will crank a Multifuel a LONG time. For example, I worked on a truck with a IP pump problem for three days in the summer sun of Ft. Riley - I gave out, the batteries never did. Must have tried to fire up the truck a hundred times. IF you are only...

Have some one load test the batteries. DD

RE: What The difference is merely a matter of paperwork. Before a vehicle has been type classified by the military (as Standard A, Standard B, substitute standard, etc.) they carry the prefix X. To slightly oversimplify, sometimes the paperwork for procurement moves faster than the paperwork...

A lot of that depends on where you are - and where the truck is. If you live in Elizabethtown and the truck is at Knox you can spend more than if you live in Paducah and the truck is in Lexington. DD

give me a try. Regards, David Doyle

I was at Thunder Over Michigan (huge air show in Detroit) a couple of years ago and their were 8 B-17s there - and I think that there was one other flying example in this country. Hope this helps, David

My compressor truck does not have mudflaps either, and never did. My position is that it is licensed as an antique, and as such does not have to have any equipment it did not have when it was new. But, I also rarely drive it in the rain - I know it would be a pain for those behind and besde...

Looks like you got a decent value for your 400 bucks. And the bus is super-cool. Here are some things that you may find useful regarding the deuce. Despite what this fellow told you - and may well have believed, it is 99+ % sure that whatever bed is on it now was not installed by the...

A bona fide chemical lab that charges large dollars did some work for me on the subject of DOT 3 and DOT 5 a few years ago. I incorporated some of this into an article for MVM a few years ago. I'll hit some high points for you. DOT5 is purple, DOT3 is nearly clear. If you mix them the purple...

If I recall correctly, (and I may not, haven't had to work on one recently) the rear of the air-hydraulic cylinder is a zinc diecasting - hence heat would not be good. Check my memory with a magnet before applying heat. HTH, David Doyle

That has been my experience with Armor All as well. Once you start using it, you gotta keep using it. I'll ask a chemistry professor friend about this.....I've never used "Black Magic". Army says to prevent dry rot, don't let tire touch ground, and don't let sunlight get to tire (and yep...

yep, probably, but it'll take a while to find it. Whacha wanna know?

dunno about medical equpment - there were however water purification trucks with expanding (sort of - one side opens completely up) bodies, both long and short wheelbase. They are (or should be) - packed with gear - of course the one I bought was gutted - which is why I don't own it anymore...

This is a shop equipment, organizational repair, light, truck mounted, set number 2. In English, it was a mobile machine shop (the machine tools are invariably missing). At 24800 pounds the military rather quickly decided it was too much stuff for too little truck, and started putting the beds...

Access to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton does not require going through security. Its in a open area of the base - no concerns there. And a very cool museum. David (yes I write about aircraft too) Doyle

Not ACE, but, TM9-819, or TM9-8022, or the newer TM9-2320-209-20 or, if you use the fancy newer ones, TM9-2320-209-20-3, or finally TM9-2320-361-20. HTH, David Doyle

Well, the smoke the EPA was worried about is partially burned fuel - so it would make sense that improved combustion would increase fuel economy - but not neccessarily horsepower. Most of my trucks are laden all the time - fire truck, compressor truck, etc. and that big sail I drag through the...

Man, I'd like to have a trailer like that at my disposal! Does Mark still have his goat? Interior view really says much about what you've done! DD

Wow - combining these with the pix in the other thread - its obvious you've come a long way. DD
