An outlet is an outlet. Vehicle power system fuses are not to protect a user's plug-in equipment. They are to protect the wire to the connector and the connector itself from being burned up in case someone plugs some piece of junk in. The plug-in equipment should always have its own fuse for its...
sounds like the steering box or something binding underneath, maybe some foreign object? There was an article in a previous MV or ARMY MORTORS that detailed how to get the box out without moving the engine. It's not a good situation.
Yeah I did meet up with him last weekend. Real and in peron. I can just imagine him now as I work on this project saying "No no no yer doin' it all wrong!"
Since I change avatars sometimes, here is the image referred to..
At this point I have to complain about the bolts I bought from lowe's hardware store. 1/4" coarse thread, in a 25-pack bag. Also bought lockwashers, flat washers, and stop-nuts (nylon insert kind). It took only 50 ft-lb of torque to snap the heads off the bolts. they break where the tread...
Thanks for the good comments. Alas there is no grommet as the hole is too small and the brake line is exactly right above it so I can't drill it out but I hope to slip a piece of heatshrink tubing in there on each line. I used pipe dope for the fittings after reading about the expanding of the...
Bjorn, so the 400PSI is the about max no matter how hard you push on the brake pedal without air (to the floor?)
This is why the pedal firms up with increasing air pressure? I always wondered about this since noticing there are still a little brakes with no air.
[- unlike a vacuum assist on a...
just attach a #10 to the 12V point on the battery and put a 30A fuse inline close to the battery, and run the lighter.. No need for switches or anything unless you want them.
Wonder if I should give USAA the "opportunity to compete" if they are cheap enough. Gulfway is inexpensive for the non-garaged deuce but they ding me alot for the silly M105 trailer which I hardly ever use and which by all rights should be insured under the truck liability.
did it.. all went smooth except the fuel return elbow fitting was extremely tight into the tank. It broke and I had to replace it. 1/4" copper line was used for the generator fuel supply and return. It's not very pretty now but the lines should be able to be dressed later.
The generator shelf...
Re: RE: Re: RE: now thats a nice looking rim
What about the low spot for seating the tubeless tires? Seeing the picture I recall this very issue on a step-van I used to have. The tubeless rims would not fit over the rear brake drums so I had to keep the split rims on that beast.
Re: RE: now thats a nice looking rim
$215 sounds pretty reasonable especially since the tires look like they are common and cheap, like what $75 for a 90% one? Can the customer specify the offset and backspace to some degree? I'd be interested to see some general drawings.

Re: RE: now thats a nice looking rim
In the drawing, if the center of the truck is to the right, then are you proposing the center of the tire be offset more to the inside? I am just thinking about the fronts and the annoying steering box arm.
The generator fuel system originally is a tank going by gravity to a diaphram type pump then to a filter then to the injection pump and to the injector. Bypass between the diaphram pump and the injection pump as well as bypass of the injector like on the deuce both go to a tee and back to the...
That would work for me if there was somewhere any trapped air in the line could go. With the genset having no slave connection or automatic slave fuel pump, it cannot expel the air if it is hooked up that way. So, I have to use a return.
