    No Garage, Need Insurance

    For commercial policies they do not pull any credit information at all. Got the Geico commercial today. $836 for 300k of coverage

    M35A2 bobbed as Expedition vehicle?

    If you paint it a very non-military color, like white, with a camper on the back I don't think you would have any issues. A camo M109? Expect to get stopped often.

    M35A2 bobbed as Expedition vehicle?

    So here is my first ever attempt at photo-cropping (that I did in Word) and it's terrible- BUT it gets the idea across. Use a slide-in truck camper made for a crewcab truck, put toolboxes where the cutouts for the bed sides/wheelwells are, and a full-sized cross-box where the back door of the...

    M35A2 bobbed as Expedition vehicle?

    Land Cruisers and Land rovers are great if you want to be in a tent (or roof top tent) and a Volvo 303 (or 6x6 Volvo) would be great also! But if you want to be more camper style with sinks, shower and stove, a F450 or deuce sized vehicle would be better. 5 tons are heavy and drink much more...

    No Garage, Need Insurance

    Yep, Geico non-commercial turned me down too. The nice thing about a commercial policy is that your truck is not the exception to the norm that an adjuster will be ready to deny coverage to if you have some lumber or a tent in the back of or.... To them it's just like any other truck they...

    No Garage, Need Insurance

    Talked with Geico Commercial, $836 for 12 months with NO restrictions and a GVWR of 25,999. I can haul anything up to 26k, anywhere, anytime, any distance. Can use it for camping, hunting, towing, whatever; they don't care. No storage restrictions either. $70 a month to be able to use your...

    Water Injection

    I know someone who has blown several by turning up the fuel (forest service worker with dozens of new, spare engines to experiment with), but he did it with no pyrometer and may have burned them up due to heat, not load.

    LDS torque numbers?

    If you do the math on the different versions you will see that the multi-fuel makes a very consistent 2.45 lbs/ft per horsepower. If this trend is consistent, the 210hp version would have 515 lbs/ft torque in its stock configuration. I would guess this is probably the top end of what the motor...

    Fuel filter subs

    Greygoat, the issue Bjorn is talking about is using too fine of a filter in the primary because it will clog faster then courser filter will. About 40 microns is at the lower limits of visibility, but 10 microns can still be abrasive, although mildly so. It won't break anything, but it can...

    Geico insurance- Need help

    That's not a bad price, but I was hoping to get it on my regular policy, with 4 current vehicles, because it would/should only be a few more bucks a month. Good to know though.

    Geico insurance- Need help

    Well I called Geico back to see if I could get someone who would actually take the time to look it up, and the previous person has the vehicle listed as "denied due to type" so the next person wouldn't help either. I need to get it by tomorrow, so it looks like I will call progressive...

    Geico insurance- Need help

    Does anyone have Geico insurance? If so, how and what is it listed as? I got denied today because when it was googled by the underwriter it came up "Troop carrier" and the underwriter said they don't cover high occupancy vehicles and she didn't want to discuss it further. Their weight limit is...

    OEM replacement (or so I think). All this info was found here on the site, but I was hoping for someone to verify them.
