    Has Iraqi Hezbollah Acquired an American M1A1 tank?

    Without training, they're paperweights. No support infrastructure.... They'll go a couple hundred miles. Against modern anti-armor air platforms, they don't stand a chance. A trained pilot in an F86 Sabre will crush an untrained pilot in an F22 Look at the Vietnam War... Russian...

    East coast to West coast trip - Free part taxi - standby assistance requested

    Just amazing how a $30, 2.5oz part can bring a 30klb truck to a halt. I noticed the air loss before the light and Buzzer. I'm glad I was paying attention to my panel... I when it got to 90 I immediately pushed the emergency brake override... Glad I did... Buzzer and light didn't come on...

    Left WV this morning... Made it to PA... Both primary and secondary air systems are draining... Can hear escaping air around the air dryer in front of the rear axle... Any way to bypass?

    Yup. I had a long conversation with iron planet. Apparently. If a year is listed it goes by that year. If no year is listed, they let me do the research and let me tell them what it is. L o l

    M1010 DUVAC Removal Plan "B"

    Keep in mind that the newer hawker batteries are AGM and as such have an extremely high absorption rate. Any AGM battery used as a deep cycle and charged by the alternator will tax the alternator as the battery will take up to Cx3 or Cx4... Meaning If you have a 100ah battery, the AGMs will...
