    Replacement gauge lenses

    I tried taking apart some gauges once. For the trouble that was involved I now just buy new guages. I know, they ain't cheap but was well worth it. I have managed to use plastic polish on some gauges to clean them up pretty good though.

    Machine Gun Shoot/MV Showing June 18th & 19th, near Reno, N

    I'll probably drive the M1009. Hopefully the weather stays like it has been and will be nice and cool (well without the rain part). If you've never been there just listen for the sound of a minigun belching and you'll know when you're getting close :)

    M923A1 on GL in Hawaii

    A guy in our club brought several over from Hawaii a few years back. Can you say R-U-S-T, never saw them personally but heard the horror stories of them.

    Question on very strange behavior

    Oh yeah, saw that happen one time at Ft. Carson. Guy had a heavy load on a deuce and dumped the clutch without giving it any fuel, truck was facing up a slight grade so as the truck lurched it basically stalled and started back up in the wrong direction.

    CARC-like tan, source?

    The two CARC colors I have are 10371 buff, and 27778 Beige. The buff is whiter and matched my five ton perfect. The Beige looks more like your truck.

    VIC 1 intercom

    Did you guys know....

    Thanks for sharing the warning with us Kaiserjeep, I whole heartedly agree that thieves should be strung up old west style :boxer: The only reason I said anything before is we needed more details on why you were so hot. I was a member of another nice forum that got shut down due to a lawsuit...

    Gauge Part numbers

    The only drawback with the Autometer units (not that I have any problem with them, I install probably three sets a week of Autometer) is that you have to hook up a 12 volt power supply. The ISSPRO and some of the banks need no power at all. Don't forget to add the red bulb condoms so they match...

    Pyrometer pre or after turbo?

    Definitely pre turbo. Your not as worried about the temperature of the turbo as you are cylinder temperatures. The turbo will take a lot more heat than the pistons will.

    CDL or no CDL? Wondering about what you have.....

    Odd, we had 10 acres there and they had no problem giving us farm plates. I'd figure in Canon City it would be even easier. Just goes to show DMV varies from state to state and office to office. Most likely due to the fact that the morons behind the counter don't have a clue.

    Gauge Part numbers

    Boost and pyrometer gauges can be had just about anywhere. Banks has them, ISSPRO, Auto-meter. I have a Banks boost and ISSPRO pyrometer in mine simply because they were laying in the back of the shop, nobody knew why so they found a new home. Boost usually run about $40 and pyrometer usually...
