EMP has substantially more range than the lethal ionizing radiation. CME can also generate an EMP. The link you didn't read was US Naval Institute..

Your assertion conflicts with USNI https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2023/february/emp-or-solar-incident-could-result-blackout-wa That said, I don't really think hardening our vehicles against EMP is of much value either.

Good info on the bearings. As to the water tanks causing trucks to flip, it isn't so much the weight as it is the slosh. A half full unbaffled tank is far more dangerous than a full one. Using a 5ton doesn't really resolve this. If you've never experienced it, it's quite impressive. Make a...

Won't that attract rats?

Um, @98G 'S ad has a substantial decrease in price as a result of the MRAP rims and 395's being sold off of it...

I wasn't clear. Full air conversion for a deuce isn't a thing. Full air begins at 939series or newer.

The things to think about on the M35A3 is the automatic transmission and the Cat engine. My preference is a manual transmission. I've got nothing bad to say about the CAT other than expense. AlReal air brakes are a substantial upgrade, even over the dual circuit brakes. All things...

They make forks with a frame that take the place of the bucket. They're not a lot more expensive than those bucket ruiners. I have no idea how I ever lived without them.

I second the ringing endorsement of pallet forks on the tractor.

I like singles. I just don't think they're the best choice for a wrecker. (And I have a wrecker with singles)

The easiest way to put super singles on it would be 395s on LMTV rims. I'd keep it dualled for stability reasons.

I've never seen it done with an M1101. @CARNAC did something similar with an M101 if i remember correctly. Like you, I'm thinking it'd be pretty trivial to accomplish.

I like it !

You're reinventing the wheel. Glad hand to glad hand air lines are readily available off the shelf in most truck stops. Your idea has merit for running air tools. Gladhand to female air line quickconnects are something to keep in the toolbox of every airbrake truck...

I don't have an 805. I know some of the more advanced larger machines have on board resistance in order to artificially create load and prevent wetstacking. Is the 805 one of them? In answer to my own question, it appears not. I was able to find references to 805s that have wet stacked...

@Castle Bravo may have some relevant input.

I believe those are nits. (Yes, I'm nit picking)

I've done *this* for a couple of miles. I'd think you could get away with essentially anything for a few blocks.

Some pics of the seats both in the deployed and the stowed positions-

Emphatically this! It appears to be puking....
