    Standard issue now on some LMTV's LOL

    This was a rope. You have to have foot, hand, and eye coordination :) . Seems like it depends on who is repairing it as you can either get a rope or a working pedal! The first Sgt was pissed as you can imagine!

    I would be in jail if I lived in Germany since I kill dirt daubers and yellow jackets on a regular basis! This is what I am doing. I measured the airflow of the unit and compensated for sound reduction materials. Using a spray in material you can mask off any important items you don't want...

    I will start one as soon as I get my db meter to get the before and after. I also require the db level to drop. I want to kill 3 birds with one stone! We have the technology!

    Standard issue now on some LMTV's LOL

    One of my buddies at Bragg sent me this. He was given the truck to drive with these words "There is a trick to the gas pedal!" That is when he found the rope. No wonder crap is coming out if the motor pools anymore.

    Not very old :) I bought a 2009 with 200 hours and they did a PM on it in Feb 2015 where they installed new batteries and a new solar charger!!! I was pleased. I still put in a battery maintainer since my unit doesn't get a lot of sun on it. I just had an issue during the global warming ice...

    When I worked for DuPont we had a high pressure pump seize in a matter of minutes after being serviced incorrectly with standard oil. They required full synthetic. After that, I did a test on my car and I averaged 1 mile per gallon more with full synthetic than I did with the standard 10w40...

    winch installs

    Be careful not to use too long of a bolt or over torque as you could damage the winch housing. Torque between 35 and 50 ft lbs! The 3/4" thick Warn Caiman mounting plate shown in the picture uses 8 - 40 mm 10.9 flange bolts. I used 8- 35 mm on the RG-33 bumpers when I send out with a winch...

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    I have seen it take up to 2 weeks to get a battery back in shape which is pretty good since they are not a dime a dozen!

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    Yes, I have 2 - 2 bank chargers in my truck. That way I have a total of 40 amps max charging capability.

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    Sorry my shop charger is 140 amp which I ran the batteries on the 50 amps setting for 24 hours periods. The charger never indicated much over 20 amps during this cycle. I did this multiple times and could never get my batteries to test over 60% CCA even when the charger would indicate 100%...

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    I use 2 of these NOCO's 20 amp chargers. They charge 10 amps per battery. There is a mini version that is 8 amp, 4 amps per battery. From death to 90% it took these chargers 2 weeks continuous to bring back 4 optima red tops that were less than 3 volts when I got them. I did charge discharge...

    Official 2016 NC Denton Farm Park BUY/SELL/TRADE Thread.......

    I can order you one. There is a 12' and a 10m version. They run around $225 or $285 respectively. WAR-85394 WAR-77671 The other thing you can do to lower the cost is find the amphenol connectors which cost around $120 each. Some customers replace the winch receptacle male plug with the...

    Pulse tech in a m923 problems.

    This unit runs 24 hours a day on your battery power. It has a pulsing circuit embedded on the 24v lead. You will see a red led showing it is pulsing. I have 2 of these units and just rely on them for fuse boxes for lights, fuel primer pump and while driving pulsing. I still use a pulse tech...

    One wiper does not stop

    I am ready to change to electric. Once I change the windshield out then the mysterious air wipers go in the trash! Come on warm weather!

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    Yes, I mounted the charger in the battery box. Stays connected all the time except when the wheels are turning :)

    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    How much fuel does an H83 burn an hour? We are not allowed to use any fueled heaters inside our warehouse ( I was using 4 75k torpedoes) so I have to duct heat in. The smell of Kerosene is no so great to wear around either!

    One wiper does not stop

    My passenger wiper leaks bad at startup then heals itself sometimes. My wiper leaks right in the middle where the rod moves. I think I am going down to Harbor Freight and get a fluid line clamp set to pinch off the rubber air line. I got new controls for the wipers and from the looks of it...
