    Ft. Lewis M35A2 recovery

    That is one long haul. I was stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station from '83 to '86 and drove over to Moses Lake, Spokane, and Kettle Falls with my best Navy buddy.

    SOLVED! More transmission/clutch problems

    Okay, I changed the gear lube back to 80W/90) because I had put 90W/140 in it and it was much too thick) and drove the truck a few laps around the block. The transmission is hard to get into gear and shifts poorly. It acts as though the clutch isn't fully disengaged, so I adjusted the clutch...

    Just finished a winch install

    I just finished an installation myself. More tips. 1. The bolts and nuts felt like they had loctite on them and were difficult to remove. To make installation easier, I heated the bolts and nuts with a propane torch to burn the locktite off. Then I used a wire brush to clean them. Finally, I...

    U.S.S. Kitty Hawk FS

    A big part of selling the KH to India would also mean selling them airplanes. IIRC, the US government is practically giving the KH away in order to make those aircraft sales (and munitions and parts and everything else that goes with it.)

    Proper Installation of an Inverter

    Re: RE: Re: Proper Installation of an Inverter Sure, no problem at all. Just power across the "low" side battery (the one connected directly to ground) and you don't have to isolate the DC- wiring from ground. I would put in a switch to disconnect the 12v power when not in use. Be sure to get...
