    Ever hit a Sub-Compact?

    A lot of those fancy cars are leased. Sometimes leased by those who can least afford them because they are too stupid to keep a decent job. There is no hard work or pride of ownership. There is little brain activity there. Sometimes there are feeble thoughts of when the next "check" is coming...

    Inverter location DILEMA!!

    Best success has been had by mounting the converter in a place that is good for it. cool, plenty of air space, away from the heater! The control and the 120V power can be run to wherever you want. 1200W is only 10 amps. a #14 or #12 wiring from the inverter to the receptacle is no problem. To...

    New Guy From Texas

    Welcome! Many people here have not yet bought their first Military vehicle. If a M35 is not for you, there are many other military vehicles available, like the M7xx series, Dodge power wagons, and the Chevy/GMC type of suburban and pickup truck vehicles, "CUCV" and M10xx models. There are...

    Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page

    On some pages I get this annoyance from Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1 running on Windows XP: "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page" This little note appears at the top of the content window. When I tell it to get the plugin, it can't find it and does not say what...

    Display colors or style?

    This is pretty much it. Thereis a way though. if your broswer allows (netscape/mozilla does) - go to Tools Options Content Colors and set it to use the system default colors instead of the website specified colors. It will look odd but you can see it with the same contrast as for...

    Classifieds suggestion - REQUIRE vehicle titles

    The thing I was told to do is to first delete the old post then create the new one. This avoids junk posts. Don't do it every week. Once a month should be enough. If people are looking for items they will find them, and they will look through all of them to find the best deal and or quality, so...

    NHC250 cylinder lining pitting and cavitation prevention

    I fond this little blurb from CAT on Welcome to the HCVC however it was disjointed into several images so I made a PDF of it. It tells about cavitation and pitting and how to prevent it. This is apparently not to be disregarded on an NHC-250.

    Need cab heat for drive home

    I got hold of an old add-on heater and plumbed it into the engine. It took the better part of a day but if that's an option the details of where the heater hoses go, the fittings needed, etc, are in the Chester, IL road trip thread. Note it was 12V, and so I used a 12V converter...

    M939/A1/A2 ABS vs. Non-ABS Trucks

    in the abs wet video, the rattling sound is the drivetrain loading and unloading. it's not good for it. But better than crashing. And the non-ABS wet pavement thing is exactly what the driving instructor at the National Guard said would happen. He did not alow us to try it.. Are those videos...

    NHC250 serial number

    The cummins website says that Cummins engines have 8 digit serial numbers. Mine seems to be number 716637. (NHC250) Therefore I cannot enter the serial number in order to see the manual. Can anyone comment on their NHC250 serial number? 6 or 8 digits?

    Tire choices for M818

    I ran 62MPH by the GPS at 2100RPM with 16.00x20's on LAV rims in the M818 with the Cummins. I do not understand how you ran 60 with shorter tires and also avoided overspeeding the engine, or how 70 would be possible with 16.00x20's. I have the Goodyears. They are rated 55MPH at 110PSI and...

    Second Gear

    1.) the deuce transmission is barely adequate for the job. It was barely adequate for the gasser engine which is a bit less powerful than the multifuel and also has less torque at the lowest end. 2.) When the truck is put in gear and set into motion, the engaging of the clutch jerks the...

    GL and the SF-97 goofs

    I have been waiting since September for my SF-97. It was "sent to battle creek". I wonder if it has been lost in battle. With my luck it will come back as a 1.5 ton truck. Which would be OK for me actually.:twisted:

    M35 trek from Florida to Texas=FAIL

    yep, on the ragged edge.. Well sunbrn, try and get it somewhere safe, and if you are going to sell it, OK, but as with anything like this there are expenses large and small. Look at it this way - if the truck had no other problems, then you know it is good except for the engine. Replacing the...
