Do we want to rent handhelds BB radios again? We can also get a base station with a hard antenna that should give better range if needs be.

BRAC. Base Realignment And Closure IINM. The Armor museum is at Benning too, well the collection is. They need to build a new facility..... Patton would be pissed...

Tank school is now at Ft Benning. Hersey I know. Thank BRAC.

Going off roading with more experienced folks is a good idea. Go gently and carefully and learn the capabilities. Also, running these big trucks full speed into thick mud can break your front suspension. Big tires will increase this likelihood.

How does it go, stuck to the hubs is twice the weight in force. Stuck to the fenders is 3 times the weight?

Been to PA and back from Ga twice and a few regional trips a state away, all at highway speeds on 1100s. No issues so far.

I like the rear step ladder on the tailgate too. I've been wanting to build something like that for the deuce.

208 made from two of the three phases (120 vac phase to ground) of a three phase system will power most items that will run off of 240 volt from single phase systems. That was the angle I was driving at. Now if the device really needs all three phases, then yeah, residential power won't work. I...

Why not go with 240? Some of the 208 three phase gear may work with 240 VAC ( 2 phases).

Piggy backing or do you mean "daisy chaining"?

I use pin and sleeve connectors for my 60 amp gear at work in my data center under floor areas. The pin and sleeve suture is rated for up to 125 amps on the large stuff and is quite good. Hubbel, Levittown and other electrical supply manufacturers make this stuff. You should be able to search...

I think those are IEC 309 type pin and sleeve connectors. 5 pins for here phases plus ground and neutral. They should be a standard type in face and come in a lot of splash and water proof versions.

Well, the alternator COULD charge the batteries, but you have to look at the charging rate you want. What is your draw for standard operational use? You'll have peak draw and then average draw and then minor draw. For camping you could be running anything from a fridge to AC to inverters to...

MY G177s came off a 900 series 5 ton in Army Service. I wonder if they're All position or not. Need to check.

Hmm, looks like we need to open it back up again and flip it around. Darn it.

Hmm is the deeper part of the piston cup supposed to go out wards or inwards? I started to install it deeper part outwards and that seemed like it should not have enough clearance of the cap.

Disassembly and cleaning the piston seemed to help substantially. A quick hone, wipe down, inspection of the seal and light coat of grease and now, no clanking sound. There was a missing washer which I replaced and one of the two copper rings was not present but I could detect no leaks when the...

So my neighbor has a newish deuce that was taken out for a bit of a spin in the snow and ice this week, it wasn't driven much and he's still getting to know how to use some of the features. When he was putting it to bed, using the air-shift he noticed a very severe clanking coming from the...

It was, though that was from the snow we had 4 years ago. This new one is more recent (from thursday in fact).

If I recall I'm running 80psi on the fronts and 65psi on the rear. I was running about that on the 1100x20 singles for NDT's based on Bjorn's advice from years ago when he switched to Singles on the CraneTruck. That worked well for me on long hauls. I'll be switching the caster plate/shim thing...
