:ditto: You don't need really expensive high tech stuff for this.

I have a Kennedy meter (measures and compares viscosity) a flash point tester, and a device for determining water and solid content in fuel. When I blend, I get to within 6% of pump diesel specs, and haven't seen an engine yet not handle it just fine.

Jet A is the same as JP-8 without some additives. All fuel has additives. I would blend a little WMO in with the jet A if I were you. Do you know what type of oil you would use? 10w-30, etc? I can run some tests for you and get you a 5 gallon jerry can mix ratio for Jet A and whatever oil...

JP-8 is basically Kero 2cents If you want to burn it, get it as close to the flashpoint and viscosity of diesel. What are you looking to burn? or are you just toying with the idea of using differents stuff should the need arise?

There won't be anything left if I wait that long! I'm getting great traction from the steel poking out...

Any stud piloted wheel from any shop, junkyard, or old guys back yard will work. Nice M915. Mine works her tail off. I bought her last August and have put 30k on her and she needs new tires already!

If it is clean, liquid, flammable, and water free, it goes in my tanks. In everything. Deuce, XM818, 2004 dodge 2500, 1965 ford 4000 tractor, M915A1, M1008. I was a ships oil king. I've forgotten more about fuel oil testing and quality control then most people learn in a lifetime. Ask anyone...

"what are you going to do with THAT?!?!?" Anything I want is what I reply...

Good job! only thing I see for next time is thread the chains though the towbar, so if it drops, it keeps the towbar up in the air, and make them not so long. 2cents

Pretty bold to push a jeep out of a parking lot with a truck... Good luck with it, my wife's 2007 wrangler was stolen several years ago but luckly was recovered in an auction yard 200 miles away... professionals had stolen 3 semi car carriers, then stole 4 tow trucks from the same company...

Rick, what we are getting at, is if he produces a kit, and sells it, he can be liable. Are guys building and running bobbers? yep, running tires too fast? yep. towing too much? yep again. But they built the trucks or are operating them outside of design specs, so they are liable. I'm not...

Label it for OFF ROAD USE ONLY and someone gets hurt or killed with your system off road, even if it isn't the steerings fault (they sue everyone with any part on a truck nowadays) and the 'manufacturer' is still the one sued. Honestly, without getting the liability insurance required to...

Yes thanks for everyones help, she will be all in one piece soon enough. A M543/62/936/816 wrecker

It ain't getting it moving that's the problem! It's the stopping!! If you ever get stuck I can pull your 915 with trailer home for you. :wink: Good, you're on speed dial.

4 tires have blown tubes, just haven't changed them yet. Cab was well on its way to returning to nature, I just finished the job. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/84988-becka-tha-wrecka-meets-torch.html

Hey, no one has told you guys how dangerous towing a 16,000lb truck with a 4,000lb pickup is! Hemi or not!:deadhorse:

Screw you buddy! Steve, sorry I missed your call that day about the airpack- I had the same thing happen with the 818 and just taking it apart and putting it back together helped it still works fine to this day.

Cabs are overrated...:tinkerbell:

Well, she did some work around her finally! Like I said before, without the front sheet metal on, I keep having Mad Max wrecker visions. After driving it today, I feel like finding some spikes and cowhide... Enjoy!

Well, looks like the M543A2 will be at the rally. I'm going to leave next wed, should get there on the 5th of Oct, like I wanted. Just nice and slow...
