Again I agree with swiss here - and oddave715. Don't just walk out after being told "no", if they can't provide in writing why they are denying your registration, to "no" is probably "I don't know, and would rather not deal with it". If they can't tell you, you can always have the supervisor...

Is your vehicle registered as antique in DE?

Most states have a law on the books that says the vehicle has to meet the FMVSS for the year of manufacture, no look-back for new laws unless the law specifically states that, and those are VERY far and far between (I've never heard of one for vehicles, except for emissions in CA) - huge...

I think that gets to the other side of the equation. In addition to the material value many of us are familiar with, the emotional value of these trucks it probably higher than the steel/vinyl/rubber/paint value for various reasons: "It's my trusty steed..." "First time I made out with my...

And there is a valve in the blower housing to allow higher intake pressure from a turbo to bypass the blower. Best way to get the most out of a 2-stroke DD was to get bigger MUI injectors (for non-DDEC), piston liners with bigger intake ports, tossing the after-cooler, putting in an extremely...

Hello from CA

"8" with a ")" right after it is the emoticon shorthand for 8), if you add a space between your 8 ) it'll work the way you expect...

PM sent re: ToughBooks, glad I could refer Ken+Dandos, they are good people.

So you're asking about efficiency, don't take this post as an intention to discourage against the motor generator, I'm merely comparing vs an inverter - there was a similar thread not more than a week ago where someone wanted to charge 12V house batteries with a 100Watt motor-generator, attached...

You'd need a big switch, that's a motor that draws 24Amps at rating, and at startup you can assume 100-150% increase in power draw - so for reliability you'd want a 50-65Amp switch (bigger here would definately be better) and that rating should be for DC. You also need a fuse between the battey...

Yeah, funny how mention of free money though gets the "Honey-do" list's ears to perk up... :doh:

Finally!!! Stock sale went through so the purchase of the remaining Base-X parts is happening this week. Very excited that the shelters are going to be completely squared away. Items are as mentioned in the top of the last post. I will again be looking for completion parts over the following...

I'm going to have it done at a shop. It can be done with harbor freight gear too, but you need such a big compressor for the CFMs it just makes no sense to me to own that stuff right now. Some day :)

IMHO rubber seals need to be replaced roughly every 15 years, for these trucks if they still have the original seals, they would be due for their second set by now. More advanced PM these trucks probably never saw.

That was a hyperlink to a picture on a different forum. You don't strictly need to keep the curves, you can cut flat pieces and wle them together to recreate a hump. There will be sub-frame under the steel, as long as you keep the rocker attached or the same door dimensions - and keep the...

The fresh air intake is in the kick panel in the footwells. The intake vent is at the base of the windshield, so water drains down the inside the firewall and A-pillar, and splashes out to the floor material. Once there, the padding which is a shredded cloth holds it against the metal until it...

Try doing a 12-gauge diamond plate steel floor. Thicker than the stock metal (and I'd imagine much thicker than what LMC will sell you...), has a nifty anti-slip surface so those muddy boots from being in the dirt all day wouldn't slide around so much.

Correction, you'd need an inverter. That said, there are still benefits to motor-generators. If you have radio shelter and an internal device that uses 120VAC, you can power it from batteries and have no power wires outside your shelter other than the RF cables/wave-guides. Think about it...

Oh, and the truck should be picked up this week by the shipper. Might be an important detail [thumbzup]

Once it's all painted and pretty, I'll be putting in Dynamat Extreme I have left over from my Toyota project and covering the floor with a 383 Green vinyl and foam flooring from one of SS's vendors. Dynamat is removable with dry ice without taking the paint with it too in case you were...
