    Tried to save the Oshkosh

    I just can't comment anymore on this. I fled Ca as soon as I retired for some of the same type of _rap. It really _isses me off the way the goober mint steals "revenue" from us for no good reason.

    M35a3 lights flicker

    If your alternator /regulator is working correctly, you should have close to 28vdc at idle. Check that and eliminate a low voltage source problem. Then work your way up to the lights checking the voltage at idle. Ive seen faulty regulators cause idle voltage problems, low idle rpms, and even a...

    pyrometer failure

    I posted this because way too many companies don't honor warranties, so when we find one that does, we should give everyone a heads up. Also when there is a bad experience with companies that sell stuff, and don't honor/back their advertised product, they should be called out too, as it has been...

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    the problem where I live is the forestry roads are not plowed in the winter to access the lakes for ice fishing. Other roads may get plowed a few times a week or less. the roads get deep with snow and my front differential becomes a snow plow. Im in the process of building a "fixed V snow plow"...

    pyrometer failure

    My EGT gauge took a dump. I have supply voltage, good ground, but the gauge is dead. it doesn't light up or turn on, so that eliminates the sender probe. I contacted the supplier, "The Sensor connection" about sending it to them for repair. Its about 6-9 months old. I'll update their reply...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    Now comes the hard part.......you need to find out WHY the 4 liners cracked, before you reassemble it. My first guess would be overheating on that bank., or the wrong head gasket on that side used if someone pulled the head because of the common head gasket failer.

    Registering a Deuce in Ohio issues.

    Im sure your biggest hurdle to clear will be the title. Sometimes you just cant get the signature/s you need. If you have a title, usually registering it has different avenues you can go, such as Historical, commercial, farm, personal truck......my M35A2 reg shows "pick up", because its under...
