I'm not present at the tire to see exactly what is going on, but definitely sounds like something blocking the stem. If there is no way to push the blockage out of the way, maybe tapping the nail with a hammer gently or something, I think that personally, and I'm not advocating this for anyone...

NO!!!!! Do NOT split the rim with any pressure in the tire. Very bad juju

The QP75D is an 1800 rpm 3 cylinder diesel liquid cooled. Belt drive to the generator to spin the powerhead at 3600 RPMs. Generac got out of the RV generator business a few years back, so mostly right now holding onto it as a spare if someone needs a quick replacement in their RV. My...

Haven't done anything special to my recently acquired generator. It was a decent price with only 10 hours on it because something heavy got dropped on it, did some nice dents in some of the panels and twisted the entire enclosure. Managed to get it apart a little bit, charged up the batteries...

Still going over the new to me M1123, was adding some of the grounding harness (made my own, just did the 3 shorter wires for now, will need to have someone explain to me why the starter needs another ground on it when it's bolted to the engine block, same thing the supplemental ground attaches...

Not an issue I've ever seen with any of my customers, but that's pretty funny :)

The reason I don't recommend it is that not as many people have an F450 in the non-professional world than would have something like the F350 and a 12 foot flatbed. The way that trucks are rated for hauling is different now than when my truck was built so I don't trust newer load ratings. The...

So just got back from Yermo this morning at 4am after a 66 hour trip from start to finish. I didn't haul it the whole way like this, but the part that it was like this I didn't have any issues with it at all. Some chains, a few straps, a couple 8x12 blocks of wood, and it didn't budge. I don't...

That sucks. Mine is one of the M1123 from the USMC at Yermo, going down tuesday to finally get it. Good luck, hope you hear some good news soon.

I thought the old stencils saying 20 and 25 were for when they ran bias ply tires on the 8 bolt rims, the newer radials on 12 or 24 bolt rims should be higher than that. I've seen 30-45 in front and 35-50 for the rear depending on load. The TM -10 says 20 front and 25 rear for the M998 at...

yikes, that's almost a month before I submitted mine. Have you checked in with them to see what's going on?

might want to include which version of the truck you have to start with. Ride quality has never been a consideration on these trucks for the military, only whether it will handle the load it's rated for, so if you want better quality of ride you might have to look at the civilian world. That...

So the emergency shutdown requirement is in the 2017 NEC, which Florida has not adopted yet (looks like it is in the update process, by 12/31/2020) , but sounds like a very good idea. The external emergency shutdown is also only required for generators over 15KW. As for the bolted to...

Also, to refute the "they all have to be bolted down to concrete" part, that is dependant on local codes, there is nothing in the national standards that optional standby generators are required to be bolted to a concrete slab. Going from the Generac install manual: The generator is typically...

The link didn't come up right, but looks like you're looking at the 2011 NEC and section 702. I checked, and Florida goes by the 2014 version of the NEC, and my jurisdiction is the 2017 version. In neither version did I find anywhere talking about an emergency shutdown. 702.7 Signs (A)...

It was my understanding that what you said only applies if the generator is permanently wired to the transfer switch. If the MEP is not a permanent install and wired through a plug that can be detached then that wouldn't apply. Looking at the 2011 NEC the only thing similar to this I could...

Mine the EUC wa sent April 2nd, submitted May 6th, and approval was May 21. Going to drive down and pick it up next week.

The second pic from the OP is fully loaded out in the field, and no armor on the rest of the truck, so not likely to be demil in this case. Probably a combination of factors including as was just mentioned aircon, as well as not wanting it turned into shrapnel when hit by bullets, and allows...

The older bias ply tires ran at lower pressure than the newer radials. Then it can depend on the amount of load the truck is supposed to be set up for, some have higher pressure in the back than the front in some situations.

Not armor. It's a Combat Identification Panel (cip), changes how the vehicle looks through infrared to more easily identify friendly vehicles at night. Same piece as on the middle of the hood. Not on the rear doors because it's not necessary there, and not all HMMWVs have rear doors. Basically...
