    what is this part in the engine compartment?

    More common trade name is "hydroboost", might make parts searching easier.

    Remote AC

    I am actually planning a DC-aircon, both for the XM1027 project, and the S-250 shelter project. Those are Tecumseh/MasterFlux DC compressors, and you can get them from other places cheaper than JEGs (that's probably true for most of their products IMHO). Though, for the XM1027, I'm using a...

    Survival 109 build

    Wow. Jeeze, still bothered about that? I'm sorry I brought up flag etiquette at all. Unsusbscribed.

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    Just got word the tents are local, trying to arrange a pickup time, and last weekend did not pan out for making enough space in storage so I'm in trouble. Hopefully the shipping company will be able to hold them until Saturday evening, and I'll be able to get the mess in storage straightened out...

    Biggest generator / alternator put on a NHC 250?

    Easily fixed with a judicious application of external resistance [thumbzup] I second Doghead on the idea of a PTO genset, so long as you can get the engine into a comfortable RPM range to support the power output (with gearing and whatnot). Since you're going with electronic control of your...

    Biggest generator / alternator put on a NHC 250?

    I have a 450Amp version in that footprint, it's 110lbs. Big heavy thing... Mine is brushless, so assuming the regulator doesn't crap out, it should actually be more reliable than the old style points regulators and brushed alternators. Probably easier to do a 24V alternator and a Vanner (talk...

    Man... Pressure washer, 7" touch screen, you feed those dogs right? :)

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    I wouldn't worry about it. Clean (hot >=110F{44C} with soap to break up deposits that harbor colonies), rinse (reduce remaining colonies to at most a film), sanitize (chemical bath of correct strength + soak time >=1 minute), air dry (not using potentially contaminated objects like towels to...

    There's always one - whether or not the colony size or toxicity is enough to kill you or make you sick is the real question...

    M35a2 Chrome 4 inch stack and 5 Ton airfilter install

    "Stickers add 10HP" When are you chroming the rest of the truck? It would be... uh, "unique" [thumbzup] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccCqk4lfRko

    Help me to help a veteran

    Thank your friend for his service - sorry to hear of the extent of his sacrifice. Any way in heck you can toss in an automatic? Seems like the least risk... Would keep both hands on the wheel that way.

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    These would be new items since I don't want to imagine what creativity might have gone into the cleaning and storage of them (these are supposed to hold food for people I like after all), and not the normal 5-gallon beverage unit I see the most comonly. I was thinking: 1x of 1000LCDRD -...

    Another way to lower an M1101/M1102

    The TM should have a suggestion/correction page at the back - fill it out and send it in!! No one says you have to be current/active military to improve their process, could be saving the tax payers 100's of thousands of dollars annually in blown axle repairs and replacements. Case in point, I...

    Roadtrip Seattle to Rochester MN, Via WA,MT, WY, SD & MN in a M1079

    If you're still stuck there in two months, I should be going through that way. I might be in the market for a "ran when parked" M1079 :lol: Just kidding, best of luck on the trip, take lots of pictures (like with a dash cam, or when you're stopped of course). [thumbzup]

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    Notification came down, they are picked up - should be here in a week. :naner: Now I need to really work on those missing parts. In the mean time, I did a bad thing... I started thinking about food prep/serving, and went on a Cambro container tangent. I just figured out how I could spend...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    The tents are getting picked up within a few hours, it'll be a relief once it's on the way (major hurdle). The patience part is very hard, the deal came together because I was very patient, arranging the shipping needed to happen rapidly, and now I need to be patient again during the actual...

    M1008 Inside bottom vent

    LMC is calling it an "Air Vent Valve", page 94 current catalog.

    photobucket giving me fits, venting and testing.

    Just playing around with various online tools yesterday after thinking about this thread, I found this on-line version to be fairly effective. I'm not affiliated, and it's a no-charge website tool. http://jpeg-optimizer.com/
