    salt lake city -> memphis, Texas

    I agree, GJ, Ouray, and Silverton and that highway is no place for a deuce. Its scary in anything larger than a car! I suggest you go through Farmington instead of going through Shiprock and down to Gallup. That highway is under construction and is not the best for a deuce, I know, I drove...

    Project Off-Grid M109A3 w/w log

    One suggestion for the water tanks - use the space between the frame rails under the box. there is a at least a 12' x 2' x 2' space there that is pretty empty. Would be a hassle to pull the box off I know but might be worth it.

    Shutting down the engine

    I would think that its not too good for your engine. Why not just hook up a new cable/handle to the stop lever on the IP? Go get a cheap bike cable and hook it up.

    WMO cenrtifuge questions

    most small centrifuges require 100psi and warm/hot oil to properly clean the oil. Some larger (bowl) centrifuges are slower and require less pressure and temp. What press. does the diaphragm pump put out? Filers require changing every so often, centrifuge does not but its more expensive...

    Tow bar, Slave cables, special tools, etc...

    If you buy brand new cable, yes its expensive. Try to find a welder getting new cables and grab the old ones.

    Tow bar, Slave cables, special tools, etc...

    I looked around for a while til I found a tow bar for under $300 that was semi close to me. My advice on the slave cable - buy the ends and make your own from welding cable.

    use towbar to push?

    Why not just pull the deuce with the M1008? If you are only going a short ways, it will do it.

    installing turbo on 818 with jakes

    My M816 has a Jake brake system installed by the military. They cut the hood and installed a raised "box" over the back heads. I figure if I ever install a turbo, it would have to be raised some more to clear the crossover tube unless you go through an inter-cooler up front.

    cummins 250 air compressor

    I had the same problem with my 816 when I first started it, no air pressure at all. I found one of the drain valves on the tank was missing. the governor is on the passenger side firewall and the unloader is on the top of the compressor - betcha its one or the other.

    Took the Plunge with a 5 Ton

    Manuals are the 9-2320-260-xxx series, look under the resources tab up above for tech manuals and page through a few. The military usually used 4 batteries wired up for 24V for cold weather but if you have some heavy duty ones, two are fine. Group D I think? Look through the 5 ton section to...
