steel barrels with just the bung hole will be better for this application. Less chance of any type of leak. The barrel might rust from the outside, but if you inspect it occasionally you should be able to see the rust and clean it up before it becomes an issue. The inside of the barrel should...

close. Question was more about how the tank was installed and what does it look like. I know in the Army I towed/took care of one of the larger trailers (HP-4 type) with a 35k and 12 ton ECU. When talking with the DRASH rep about it (we only had one rep in Eastern Asia) he said when he was...

So the conversations function on this site isn't very friendly to posting pics, and I'm going to just do it here instead because someone else might have a similar question about them. The question had to do with DRASH trailers and fuel tank. The model in question comes up in the HDT GLOBAL...

for trailer the 116A2 will likely be the cheapest of the options you find (it's the chassis under the 101 series) and take up less space than the other types. The 1101/1102 is pretty expensive and takes up a lot of space. Much too much space if you are planning on using it as a dedicated...

One possibility is your batteries are either too small of size or they are failing. Starting one of these trucks takes a lot of juice, so the battery gets drained down a lot. If the batteries get too low, you'll see voltage go up too high until they have enough of a charge for the regulator to...

You won't hurt it by putting break in oil into it, so if you have any doubts about whether it's fully broken in or not, go ahead and do it. Changing out other fluids (coolant) also won't hurt, especially since you don't actually know what type it is. Doing the change means you will know...

Some of this has been gone over in other posts, but I'll go ahead and go over everything as I see it anyway. When you say "home backup power" what is it that you really mean by that? to clarify: do you have outages that last for many hours or days on end, or do you have a couple hours without...

Yes the H1 centramatics work for the hmmwv. They are heavier/balance more weight than the 8x6.5 that they also sell. I and several others in my area have centramatics and we really like them. They will help with out of balance tires (up to 12 or 16 oz out of balance) but they won't do...

Just for our info, what is the generator size? Is it a 60 amp, 100, 200, 400 amp?

If RetiredWarHorses posted it, you can pretty much take it as gospel for these trucks. Short answer is: yes, it will cruise at highway speed more efficiently all else being the same. Slightly longer answer: depending on what gearing you are starting with, while it will be more efficient, it...

It was that way for a while, whatever department that was handling the SF-97s was stamping them with "off road use only", which means they were performing unauthorized modifications to government forms. I think it was the DLA or something, because the HMMWVs coming from the Marine Corps did not...

If you're just doing basic driving and off roading I don't see it being a major issue, but if you drive it like it was meant to be driven, well, it's under the fenders in the newer series trucks for a reason.

Goodyear MTC, BFG BAJA, Goodyear MT. You can find any series truck with any of those tire brands. The BAJA and MTR come in load range D or E. Supposedly you can mix those two tire types, as long as it's the same load range. From what I have been told the MT tires are the hardest compound and...

The early HMMWV came with a 60 amp. Then came 100 amp. The 200 amp is standard in all newer HMMWVs (since mid 90's I believe), and there is even a 400 amp for some setups. 50 amp will likely work, but will take a while to recover the batteries if they get low, where a larger one will do it...

24 bolt is mostly preferred by people that think it looks cool on the civilian owned vehicles. That's the only real reason I can think of, as there doesn't seem to be any real benefit in a non-armored truck. There are a few guys out there with fully armored trucks, but those are the only ones...

The regular MT tires are good for 3850 lbs each at 50PSI. That's roughly 7500 lbs each axle (or each end of the truck if you prefer) With my M1123 and the BEOD on it, I cross the scales at over 9k lbs, 3800 lbs front end, 5600 lbs rear. I don't have a turbo or a rear bumper, but those only...

Sorry I must have missed it somewhere, but what extra weight on your truck are you talking about that you require the 24 bolt rims for? I know you have an 1152, I just haven't seen where you're running it fully armored or what load you have in it (I'm kind of curious)

They are always out of stock on things, even if they show having them in stock. Their inventory system places priority on government orders (as it should). Those tend to be bulk orders. Say they order 100 of something. AM General website will show 75 in stock, but they won't ship because...

Great for loosening or removing old bolts. Not so good for installing new ones. (I have the old version with only 2 settings and supposedly 800 ft lbs, not the newer 1400 ft lb version, and it's more than enough for anything that doesn't require a 1" drive impact or 6 foot cheater bar)

One caveat with the Uhaul trailer, what I was informed is the way their insurance works is once everything is in the system (tow vehicle and trailered vehicle) that is what the insurance on the trailer covers. If anything happens to the trailer with a different tow vehicle or different load...
