Based on your posts, unless you become wealthy, you best buy a different type of vehicle. Yes they are really cool, but these are not for the faint of heart. Most of us have mechanical ability, patience, and actually improve upon them when we fix the original design flaws. It's not that you...

"Test the pH of the water from your water separator" What are you using for your water separator ?

This is the next LIVE discussion IN 2 DAYS with the owner of UNICAT on YT

keep your windshield gasket treated with ATP 205 for future changes.

There certainly is more than one way to process WMO. It comes down to what is practical, given market price of diesel fuel at that time. Knowing the source types of oil in WMO can help you manage your process. Same oil, similar vehicles, same change intervals = pretty stable and predictable...

I like that pintle hitch guide! Did that come with the truck?

The difference in tightness in the steering with a new drag link is amazing. Mine has both ends that are replaceable. No more fear of getting too close to a rut or drop off on the side of a road. I see there are some never issued A2 ones on Ebay that need new boots. I'd be all over that if you...

I like the green rims and the black hub combo.

"The normal pH for diesel fuel is between 5.5 and 8.0, so a reading of below 5.5 is an indicator there could be a problem". pH is a function of TBN or TAN. You can add TBN with a HOT SHOT additive.

Adding acid to clean the oil can be done. You will need to re-balance the pH pre-processing, or it will eat your centrifuge and ultimately the engine. The TBN number is already diminished in used oil. You could use calcium I suppose. Calculating the pH of oil would be a pita. You can't do it...

My long-term goal is the same. My refueling depots will be at storage units in a couple of states. Tight control over your fuel should mean better performance and less failures Hmmm no, never seen an off balanced batch... Filtermaxx have special feet. Filtermaxx sells a air powered one as...

If you use a stand-alone centrifuge, buy a used Filtermaxx. Much more powerful and flexible than the PA biodiesel. You clock the motor up if you use a 3 phase motor and a motor controller. Steam comes out of vent. Use the sun to bring your oil up to temp before push through heater. Once you...

Too many variables. You don't need a statistics class to figure this one out. A blown tire, plugged fuel filter, air leak in fuel line, a belt, a missing bolt, stuck brakes, air leak, blown hose, fan that explodes and takes out the radiator and so on..... Have it hauled.

I will once the I get some time.

Boy, I don't remember. Should have taken a pict.

For those of you doing FMTV/MTV Overlanding vehicles, I would suggest that you watch the Founder of Unicat's videos. Some very interesting info. revealed on the best way to build a vehicle. When he does these, they are typically live stream, so you can ask questions. English is not his first...

Just flushed my M1088 with Thoro-flush (2 pints). Amazing amount of scale and minerals came out. Gray clay-like stuff. Makes sense. It's been on the road since 1998. Follow flush directions very closely. Flush until no red dye present. Helpful customer support. Replacing all hoses. Most dated...
