I am like glaser06, I have used the Raptor kit with good results. 2 or more coats will make it very nice. Plain and simple, ANY product is only as good as the prep. If you still have rust holes in your floor and they are not repaired, then no amount of any product is going to prevent further...

Had the same leakage issue on my 1009 that still had the original rubber mat with the factory sound deadening underneath. Problem with that factory mat is that any cracks in the rubber will allow water to get into the sound deadening material and will sit on the floor and cause the rusty...

Thank you Rustystud, I did not know that tanks do indeed have brake and headlights, well headlights I could see but none of the other equipment. By the way, I want to say thank you for your service and sorry that you don't have things to blow up anymore, lol. Yes, like you said, Don't take my...

Rustystud, you present a good rebuttal and I would say that my interpretation is not law and I would refer to a lawyer who specializes in vehicle code over myself before taking that leap of faith. I agree with you that some States are not as clear or enforcing of the laws/vehicle codes when it...

I would check both your engine mounts and the tranny mount to see if any are broken. That would be my 1st guess, this would cause the the tranny to move and bind up the shifter linkage. If they look fine, open the hood, get in the truck, put it in gear "D", then give it some gas while holding...

I think most of the confusion comes from just reading the CDL requirements and not looking at the full definition of the law and/or vehicle code(s). Let's break it down in simplified terms, your interpretations may differ as well as each State's, [I am using California, to stay on topic] but...

I finally saw the ad, not going to post it, but like stated before, not too hard to find. I would agree with some others, it sounds like this owner is having a hard time realizing that sentimental value is not a true value when selling a vehicle. There are several things wrong with the ad but...

I suspect the valves as well, 30 psi is way too low, even for a worn out motor, but you stated that this is new. The thing that keys me in is the backfire. I would do like user just me suggested, to determine the compression. You can set these cold, they had to from the factory at one point...

looks like a 6.2/6.5 to me judging by the intake.

I would refer the wiring part to Retiredwarhorses, as he has used them and I am not familiar with that particular device, sorry. I would assume that there would be some online pdf file for wiring, but again, don't know. If anyone else is more familiar with this product, please feel free to...

There you go, Houstonrealtor, this looks like it should work, then. Just as a precaution, if you use this set-up, still do your PMC's just to ensure that your charging system and batterie(s) are in tip-top shape. This way if an imbalance situation is slowly occurring, you should see it in a...

I'm sure they have a use and probably a good one, but for the original poster houstonrealtor, I don't think this is the solution to his issue with installing a stereo and amp in his HMMWV. Sorry, Steve, if you took offense to the product, none intended. If it works for what you need, then go...

After looking online for more info about the Pulse-Tech device, I would steer clear of it and save your $$. To me, and this is just my opinion from the info I can see online about the product, it appears to be a magic fix-it box with no real promises or guarantees that it really does anything...

I wish I could give you a clear answer on that device, but I am not familiar with it, sorry. I have twin solar panels on my 818, but they are not connected. The unit is supposed to provide a very small trickle charge in a way to keep the batteries up to par, not really a charger, but supposed...

I would say the equalizer because it has the least amount of possibility of causing unseen damage to the 24 volt system and killing your batteries. If your are doing this on the cheap and the stereo will not be in use 100% of the time, you could use the standard converter and place a cut-off...

Yes and no. A normal DC to DC converter, will do just that, increase or lower your source voltage to a usable voltage for a device. Like a 24 volt to 12 volt converter will reduce the source voltage in half so that 12 volt accessories can be used without frying them releasing the "magic smoke."...

Just buy a equalizer, easy to install and solves any imbalance issues when running a 12 volt appliance in a 24 volt environment. The imbalance like someone else stated can be easy to misjudge until you start going through batteries. Here is a link to a google search for equalizers...

You should post the videos under the threads "What have you done to your 5-ton this week?" link> http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?83549-What-have-you-done-to-your-5-ton-this-week & "What did you do to your Deuce this week?" link >...

Ditto. My 1009 was fleet white when I got it, but after sanding the poo out of it, I found the original CARC was waiting underneath the several layers of white. Good Luck with yours and read the wiki and download the TM's, you'll be glad you did.

Ain't that the truth. I drove my 5-ton on a 300 mile round trip and my butt was numb for days afterward. Bring a seat cushion or pillow to sit on, your butt will love you for it.
