    Going to other Countries with an ex-milatary vehicle?

    If traveling in South America, rent. If doing Overlanding mainly, develop a platform for your box that can be used in other counties.

    Need M1083 mechanic in Middle TN Area NASHVILLE? MURFREESBORO?

    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...

    Question about windshield gaskets

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

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    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...

    LMTV LED Marker Lights upgrade?

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

    Drag link update worth it

    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...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I like the green rims and the black hub combo.

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    "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.

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    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...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    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...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    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...
