OK, so I think I found the source of the problem. I wiggled and twisted and made sure the wire connector that plugs into the water manifold sending unit was fully seated and I gave had no more gauge issues. The connector felt fully seated but something in that connection needed some attention.

Nice - looks like a several hundred dollar bonus!

The dash number is how many sixteenths of an inch the size is. Like a -6 is 6/16ths or 3/8. A -10 is 10/16 or 5/8 and so on...

Aerial view. I might get to stop in there next month on a business trip.

Not sure on the route, but Armysurplus Warehouse is in Idaho Falls about an hour north of Salt Lake City and could be a fun stop.

Great project and thanks for documenting it all. It would be cool to see a POV video of you driving it around and rowing through the gears!

@bobbed_deuces_wild on the gram has an M813A1 that looks like what you're describing with exposed turbo piping. Looks pretty intimidating...

I like the look of that truck also, but looking closer, it either has some photoshop action done to it or its front tie rod is waaaay out of adjustment.

You're welcome! Lucky timing- it's not everyday I have an extra manifold sitting in the lawn mower shed...

Here is that pressure chart for the AT3As

I measure 4 1/8" square

It would be fun to have a towed howitzer to pull around. How does one get one of those? Ukrainian garage sale?

I was once again requested to display my truck at the Cashmere, WA Memorial Day ceremony and it was my privilege to participate in it. The entrance was quite the experience as the truck idled through in 1st gear while the breeze drifted the wall of flags over my truck...what a feeling

This type of event is a lot of fun and I wish they had them when I was a kid. We had 3 helicopters buzz in and land within 20 minutes of each other. When the huey was on its final approach I had to check on the Vietnam vets to make sure they weren't hiding in the bushes...they have such a...

I took my truck to the local Touch-a-Truck event to let kids check it out, climb up in it, and flip switches and stuff. It was so busy that I was only able to snap some photos before and after the main event.

David, I'm deeply grateful for the hard work you're doing for the hobby and even if it's not directly in my state yet (WA), I love your progress and determination. I think it's hugely valuable because it's laying a ground work and setting precedents for other states to follow. Uniting this...

The Western Star plant where this one was built was the former Freightliner plant down on Swan Island in Portland, OR where Freightliners were built for decades before being moved to North Carolina. The DTNA executives thought they could save a few pennies by moving the Western Star Portland...

It also had angled armor plates under the cab like MRAPs...

I didn't see a sub-forum in the present conflict section that applied, but everyone here loves METs and HETs so I'm curious if anyone knows if this Western Star 6900XD tank transporter ever participated in testing trials or anything? In another life, when I was a test engineer for DTNA we had...
