    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    Hi Mike. I've been following along with your repair. I have experience with the 53 series detroits but not the 92. They are similar in that they have wet liners. Keep up the good work. You have a massive shop. That's an awesome truck and engine. I would love to have one....someday!

    starter electric gremlins??

    I don't have an M998 but I do have a GMC suburban with a 6.5. I had trouble with my starter and replaced the solenoid but it still acted up by not turning the engine. I got a used gear-reduction starter at a junk yard and it worked a lot better. I replaced the starter switch as well. That is...

    cooling system spring cleaning

    Distilled water is better cuz it doesn't have any minerals in it. Minerals cause build up of deposits.

    passenger door

    Are the door hinge bolts on the outside on the 939 trucks threaded into the hinge or are they just slip fit with the nut on the end? I can't get mine out and I don't want to twist the head off the bolts then I would be really in a fix. Thanks for any info.

    What exactly is "Precision Scheduled Railroading" may I ask. Maybe I shouldn't ask... Is this just with UP or all class I RR?

    M923 A2 HI LO Stiff shifting Problems

    When hooking up the front axle lock-in valve air line from the dash to the front axle engagement air cylinder air line at the back of the transfer case using a compression fitting, do I use a brass ferrule or a nylon ferrule with the brass insert? It looks like my air lines have both! I'm...

    2 meter radio in humv

    Do you have an antenna analyzer, mfj-259 or similar? That would help. Not sure if the firestik has a means to trim it to resonance. That military mount might not be the right one. You need a good ground plane for that antenna. Is there much 2 meter activity in Wyoming?

    Installing a ham radio

    Use a down converter not just power off from one battery. What kind of radio are you planning on installing, a mobile or an HT? You probably don't need a 40 amp downconverter unless you plan on adding other 12 volt loads. A 20 amp converter would work fine. I am using a 13.8 volt, 20 amp...

    When I first started as a switchman, I had to work the extra board and only got called on rainy nights and other lousy times but, I was single and could live on what I made. The business traffic comes and goes with the economy. Just hang in there and keep the door open to that job if you...
