    Payload

    Just to make sure :) You are speaking of a truck right? Cuz the M1009 is a little different than the M1008 or M1028 :D

    cooling fan adjustment

    Won't hurt to try ElkyRacer's suggestion. Not sure I would go as low as 180 though. Maybe 195 - 200?

    Cheapie 5 Gallon Sand Blaster problems

    A Pressure Washer Sand Blaster? Nevaah-heardofit :shock: Hey, Thanks for the Harbor-Freight Suggestion. They have a deadman valve / gun I'd like to try. :o Hopefully it will work better than the Northern Tool one. :roll:

    M1008 correct offset to order for hummer whls?

    I'm fairly certain the M1009 runs 15" rims. The HMMWV tires are 16.5. I don't believe GM made a 16.5 rim with a 6 bolt pattern. HMMWV tires are in a 36" bias ply or a 37" radial. Those are a very tall tire to run on the stock GM Corporate 10 bolt 1/2 ton axles. I would suggest upgrading to 3/4...

    Cheapie 5 Gallon Sand Blaster problems

    I'm using a pressure pot type. I need to find a different gun, I'm only finding siphon guns. I made up my own nozzle, out of pipe, adapted down to 1/4" and put a cap on it. I'm currently working on hole size for the cap, I'm somewhere between 1/16" and 1/8", it's still plugging up. Without a...

    Price of Gas in your area

    About $3.50 for cheap. Haven't seen over $3.90 yet. About that shale oil. A good producing well pumps itself as it's under pressure. An OK one needs to be pumped. Now contrast that with the procedure in the article. Lots more stuff going on there and they don't mention the chemical processes...

    Alternative fuells in M1009?

    Ummm, I'd suggest reading up on it before dumping filtered veggie oil, mixed or not, in your tank. Sure it works but you should know what to expect and what will work best for you before just jumping in.

    Cheapie 5 Gallon Sand Blaster problems

    I bought mine because a few people recommended them. I'm not sure it it was here or another board. I'm surprised at the problems I'm having.

    Cheapie 5 Gallon Sand Blaster problems

    I don't understand the finger over the nozzle bit. Air pushes sand through the hose to the nozzle. The valve on the end, a deadman, acts the same as having your finger over the nozzle :?: :?: :?: :?:

    Cheapie 5 Gallon Sand Blaster problems

    Got one from Northern Tool. They all look about the same. Using 30 grit sand, not the play sand. The ceramic nozzle lasted about 2 minutes :shock: Still worked pretty well though until I released the deadman valve. Then the hose would fill up with sand and my next spray would be a 2 to 3...

    24v & 12v questions.

    I pulled just about everything. Going to put in a 6.5 Turbo. Everything would be 12v except the winch. Hmmm sounds complicated now. I think I'm going to pass on the winch.

    Any Biodiesel homebrewers?

    He'll need the heater. It does freeze in Texas :D

    24v & 12v questions.

    My CUC-azer is 12v. I found a 24v winch. I should be able to figure this out myself :oops: I'll be using deep cycle batteries and the question is can I run 12v & 24v off both batteries? Am I wrong in thinking the Military used only one battery for the 12v stuff and two to get 24v?
