If I had that problem with such high $ pistons (like those for the 3 ltr Benz Diesel), I'd bead blast them, then knurlize the annulus, and reuse them with new rings with honing of the cylinders. Lots of engines run for years with that treatment, but new parts for the right price is better. DG

Most frequency transducers use a sample from one leg, usually 120VAC. They supply a small variable DC voltage to operate the frequency (Hz) meter. This is accomplished by using a resonant circuit and rectifier that ramps up the output voltage as the frequency goes up. Unfortunately, many...

This begs the question, why are you doing this in the first place? Have you any indication this is necessary? These bearings are known for extreme longevity in service. The occasional cleaning and greasing is all they need, usually done with a brake job. DG

The airpack may not be at fault. Not releasing could be a bad adjustment on the MC pushrod, or the plumbing was reconnected in error. DG

The service line only carries metered pressure when the brakes are applied. If air comes out continuously, there is a upstream problem. The previous posts have good advice for the fix. DG

Open the rear gladhand yellow valve and try the brakes. That should allow the application pressure to immediately release. If not, there is an internal problem in the airpack. DG

Not to mention the black Brit license plate... DG

She is most fortunate she has mom's looks...:sneaky: DG

Funny how guys build up a monster pickup, and they just get sillier and sillier. Big meats on a big truck are just badass. DG

You mean you didn't just fill all the tires with Helium and have it float out?:driver: DG

I was sitting still on the edge of the flats after just getting the front stuck. The rest of the truck just sank by itself, a hopeless situation. The reason was I spied some MV's about a half mile off, and wanted to get a closer look. Bad idea. If anyone knows the Fallon Mud Flats, you know...

I once had to dig under my truck from front to back, under the axles, to make a path for my winch cable. From there I hooked it to a giant motorhome, it's driver kind enough to help me get out of the Fallon, NV mud flats. Talk about ruined clothes... DG

The 816 has what is known as a 'walking beam' rear suspension, so it will sit down when a lot of weight gets on the truck. Otherwise, it has a bit of spring to it allow a somewhat better ride. All the 800-series have the same transfer case. The rear facing PTO is easily added to any of them...

The only attainment areas in AZ are Maricopa & Pima counties. Pinal (where I live) is exempt. DG

Just so there is no confusion, don't try gas in a HUMMV. Big tactical multifuel's like the deuce and 5-ton were from a different era. GD

Testing multifuels for emissions is a lot easier if you run straight gas. Much cleaner. After all, they were designed to run gas if no diesel was available. GD

Multifuel. DG

When you got out of the truck, did you lose a boot or two in that mud? DG

Stock 2.5 or 5 ton Budd wheels will run up to 12.00-20 tires. DG
