    Bumper markings

    So far we have not gotten any "no I don't dare put any bumper markings" How do I research D.O.D regulation or lack of? Maybe somebody to do it for a small fee?

    Running backwards?

    I'm thinking that hydrodynamic thingy don't apply. If you look underneath there is what I call a crankcase tumor where all the oil resides. Much lower than the crank and connecting rods have to splash in. Thinking the entire engine is dependent on pressure. Not sure but some engines have...

    Running backwards?

    I think the question is "How long do you want to run your engine with no oil pressure?" My answer NEVER!!. I cringe waiting for oil pressure on start up.Gota believe there are other nasty stuff going on running backwards. No dout if you don't get sudden death there are long term consequences.

    Bumper markings

    This COULD be the scenario. Maybe the SC National Guard general noticed the markings as the truck passed him and remarked to the Marshall that wasn't his truck ,the truck had SC NG markings, being chemically enhanced the Marshall flew of the handle. As metioned earlier in talking to the general...

    Bumper markings

    This is exactly what I was thinking while he was yelling and screaming. Was thinking he had a major parade to organize why is he taking what so much of the little time he had to this. There is something we don't understand about this guy very very bizarre behavior. My personal theory is that he...

    Running backwards?

    Why? Concerned it will get sucked in? I'm talking Turkish Towel kind of rag in a code red situation.

    Running backwards?

    I was given strong instruction when first starting a diesel that had IP or injector work to have the air intake readily accessible and a large rag to block intake should things go south.

    Running backwards?

    I had a Detroit 8V71 that had a spring loaded flap above the blower to block intake air in case of a run-away. It was engaged by a dash mounted emergency push button. I heard that on a worn engine it could run on oil bypassing the rings.

    Does manufacturer of MEP-002A matter?

    We all know about the quality at R.R.D. or lack of. People looking for a classic VW beetle won't consider a Mexican built bug. The soviet built AK's where much better than the Chinese AK's. Perhaps the same applies to where MEPs are built.

    The site keeps logging me out

    When I have a long message I type it off line in something like MS Word then cut and paste it into the PM or posting. I'm thinking the system sees your typing as idle time and you timeout. I put the title in there also so it spell checks that as well as the rest of the stuff. This also helps if...

    Good enough for the military, good enough for you

    Did you notice the guys jumping out of that tree house on stilts? Been there done that :-). Some how I cut my ear open. They didn't appreciate me bleeding all over their equipment. But I digress.
