I was offered one of those brush guards a couple years back and didn't take it because I have the M1123 and thought it would be a pain to figure out how to mount it.

Well, yeah, damage from unbalanced loads IS because a single leg is being overloaded. As for how people do it, on a 5kw especially, it's really easy to overload as you're talking about 22 amps of 120 per leg, which is a couple small space heaters, before you're more than that. So most...

yes, it can be better utilized, but the net cost of the imbalance in fuel usage is extremely minimal compared to a perfectly balanced load, so in practical application, it's not really an issue.

RTV seems the way to go with all non-critical sealing surfaces (I mean non-critical to be things not carrying high pressure and whatnot)

So the example of 10 amps one leg 7 amps the other leg and 3 amps being "wasted"... The loss here is coming in the transformer, stepping down from line voltage to household voltage. The transformer is designed for 240V out, but has a tap in the middle of it for the 120 "split" that is...

M116 series chassis is what is used for am M101 series trailers, so if that is the chassis under it (I'm not familiar with the PTT) then yes, it should be the same measurements as the M101 series. M116 is the actual frame/chassis, the M101 is the body on top of it. It's not unusual to see both...

I just use a battery disconnect keyed switch near the doghouse. You can leave the light switch in any position you want and nothing will drain with the keyed switch turned to off.

We're allowed to drive on the sand, as it's considered to be a state highway. Supposed to stay up away from the water and away from the dunes. Driving in the vegetation is verboten. Some beaches are closed during parts of the year for shellfish or stuff like that.

I just looked through the RCW for anything about driving on the rocks at the beach and found nothing. Thanks for pointing that out though; it's something I really should have checked before doing it. I will say though I was far from the first person in the group to do it, and if nobody else...

I know ones like this aren't that important, but as far as I am aware EVERY bolt has a proper torque for securing it, or at least they have a maximum torque. Too low of a torque and the bolt hasn't stretched enough to put enough pressure on the nut to keep it from backing off over time, and too...

So on the way to the beach drive, about 15 minutes from my house, started hearing funny noises from the engine, and a little smoke. Pulled over along the freeway and popped the hood. Found an idler pulley locked up on the serpentine belt. Doused the pulley in water to cool it off, and drove...

Went for a beach drive This has got to be one of the best pics I've ever seen of my truck

All A2 and newer trucks will have 12k halfshafts. So if it was manufactured with a 4 speed transmission, then it has 12k shafts (though there is more than one type of 12k shaft) The 3 speed trucks use 7 or 10k shafts (interchangeable)

If you do take it into a shop, the specs should be the same as an early H1. If you have any mechanical aptitude, then you can save money by removing the rear shims yourself before taking it in for alignment.

Last oil I bought was some 1 gallon jugs of DP semi-synthetic 15W40 from tractor supply, marked down to $10 per gallon about a month ago. I bought all 6 gallons they had in the markdown section. (Had Heavy-D from youboob on the label?) it's off brand, and I don't see it on the website, but...

Biodiesel is a good solvent. I wouldn't soak it too long though in case the seals don't like it.

Those quick disconnects are notorious for leaking at the connection. It's HMMWV specific so your local hydraulics shop is unlikely to have it. I didn't want to wait so I replaced it with standard hydraulic fittings on both parts. Could do it though the fan blades, but a total pain in the butt...

There should be no issues with laying them down like that. The Scepter cans are approved for use inside the cabins of airplanes, so just laying them down shouldn't be enough to make them leak if the seals are in decent shape.

M1123 with BEOD and DRASH trailer. Scaled at 13,500 lbs Max speed on the level was 67 mph. Just not enough power to go any faster than that. When no trailer and no BEOD she'll do 80+ on the flat, and 60ish on the uphills around here.
