IF someone were to outfit say, a turbo 6.5 model w/ 12.5k suspension (don’t know later model #’s) with a TEOTWAWKI, RAFOTRE or simple SHTF scenario in mind and you had the time, money, wherewithal to build up a “bulletproof” truck, it would be fairly easy to make cardboard templates for the...

It’s in the manual. Should be 3” ID.

That IS almost EXACTLY the correct answer. As others mentioned, you can expect minor variations in strap location and other than for simple ornamentation, if it’s functionality and correct placement for future use, the frame really should be folded down to be certain. OTOH, there’s likely some...

Good thing your sense of humor hasn’t snapped off. Hang in there.

Thanks, excellent advice/referrals. I’ll look at the options/price and flip a coin or something, but the cam-types look like they’re less trouble. NB

for 37x12.50R16.5 radials, NSN 2540-01-530-6341 I’ve checked the usual online sites, nothing. Self-adjusting, easier to mount square link, lower-wear, seems like a no-brainer if the price is right (compared to using them what, twice in a lifetime? I’ve read a handful of posts by guys who’ve...

We got a smart meter - it was that or pay $15 a month NOT to, IIRC - and ever since we've gotten monthly nastygrams from the power co. about how much more energy we're using than any of our neighbors. Sure. I keep records. Nearly 22 years of data. We're paying less now - using LESS energy...

cardboard templates, outline with sharpie, waterjet or torch cut, drill, grind to fit?

not at all, there's about 1/2" clearance underneath, give or take. Depends on what cap you put on the stem, too.

Sticky gauge needles have a long, storied history. Back when I was first taking flying lessons (gliders, single engine light planes, rare stick time in helicopters), I asked what the buzzing sound from the instrument panel was. Turns out the altimeters are prone to sticking and this crucial...

And it really works. Of course, after getting the thing running I opened the cap to depressurize the system.

I’ll get a photo of the stem mounted in the cap up later.

Good to see. Welcome. Keep us posted on the “clunk” over in the “what I did to my HMMWV today” thread. NB

Holy Zombie Post Saturday! I found a solution that worked for me. Used this setup after replacing sender/gaskets/fuel lines/stuff. Used ONE CO2 cylinder (PV=nRT), opened the bleed screw atop the filter housing and let ‘her rip. Worked great, truck fired right up after having the fuel system...

Maybe, maybe not. There ARE flatter, smaller knobs. Check out a grainger or MSC catalog, local hardware store (ACE, Tractor supply), the dreaded online auction site or Dr. Evil's Jungle sales site. Lotsa options. Could even use a 1/4-20 flat thumbscrew and washer, I imagine.

There were two 1/4-20 riv-nuts there already for the radio shelf, bought the knobs at Lowes, I think, same with safety pins (2”, although 1-3/4” would work, IIRC). This what you were looking for?

PM me, I’ll send pictures. I’ll let it go cheap.

Not quite as bad, but close. Guy who sold it says he thought it was for HMMWV, I didn’t know the difference.

Gotta figure out what to do with this paperweight first. Thanks for the lead.
