Given how inexpensive aluminum oxide media is I would advise against usind sand. Even a very small amount of leakage around the respirator will (not can or may, will) cause some lung damage. The damage is cumulative and permanent. I wouldn't risk the stuff even with my supplied air respirator...

You can contact the customer service folks and change your account so that your credit/debit card is never charged automatically. I use a debit card and my bank freaks out if someone tries to charge $3,500 or more and they don't have the card to swipe and the bank doesn't know the charge is...

I can see the ebay ad now...."ran when parked" Lance

I wonder if changing the studs from "as manufactured" would cause you grief from a sharp eyed inspector or roadside vehicle enforcement inspection. I'm pretty sure it would be valid cause for an "out of service" declaration. The left hand ones are stamped on the end so changing them seems a...

If that was a military vehicle, someone did a lot of work. They would have had to remove and replace the grill, bumper, frame extensions and tie down shackles, the side marker lights, side view mirrors, wiper arms and more. The VIN does not seem to be correct. If you are looking at the tag on...

Covering a deuce takes two net sets and two pole sets. From memory, I think a M105 trailer will fit under there, too. The net sets come with two nets each, a large hex and a smaller diamond. If you join the edges of two hexes and put one diamond in one of the resulting inside corners you get...

The 15kW and larger sets are water cooled diesels and are all 3 phase only. Drawing power off two legs to get household power tends to cause major problems over time. Also, fuel consumption is significant. All are mounted on large trailers although there are smaller wheel set that can be used...

Welcome aboard. What do you say we work together and see if we can get that SGT York self-propelled anti-aircraft gun off Camp Robinson? Lance

I'm waiting on 4991 for an M813A1, 5007 for two M101A2 trailers and 5068 for 2 M101A2 trailers. Lance

I've been grabbed by the "periodic assessment" monster, too. I have 2 EUCs at BC since 16 Feb. I chatted with Heidi today about the long wait and they were pulled for "periodic assessment" Geez, what a PITA. I had hoped to have this truck and trailers home and through the shop by now. Lance

An easy way to unload shingles and other construction debris is to put some old pallets in the bed before you load. Thread a chain from the tailgate to the front and put the excess on the cab roof while loading. When you get to the dump have the guy with the front end loader or compacter pull...

If you open an account with UPS or FEDEX it's less $ to ship. You can print the labels or email or fax them to where the boxes are. It may save $ to have the boxes consolidated into fewer boxes although most shipment fees go more by weight than number of boxes. Also, you may want to try the...

Nonotagain, I had to pause to take my foot out of my mouth before responding. I should have checked before posting. I wouldn't have guessed that Toyota would haul that much. sorry Lance

Yes. It's the left side studs that are left hand thread. The lug nuts are 1-1/2". A long handled 3/4" ratchet handle will usually get them off but you might need a torque multiplying wrench or a Swench mechanical impact wrench. If the truck runs and makes compressed air there is an air...

Lemee guess...."Ran when parked"

To anyone who sent me a message on the classified ad. I editid the ad to show that the engine is NOT sold and all the messages from folks were dropped. If you sent me a message, please send it again. If anyone who wants a part will be going to the RedBall spring meet next month in NJ or to...

Gee, it looks like there's room for 2, maybe 2-1/2 pallets of beer under the overhang. I'm not seeing any downside..... Lance

There is a lot of god info in this thread and some varied opinions. The 35 MPH max speed deal was a unit choice and was probably driven by local road conditions (think unpaved tank trails at Camp Swampy) or accident history and was not a service wide policy. Most major commands used a 50...

Unless you run it at 1,300 or 1,400 RPM with the radiator covered the thermostat is unlikely to ever fully open. If it's an M809 series truck the temp with it fully warmed up should be 175-195F. Without digging into the -20 manual I don't know if an over range gauge is caused by a gauge or a...
