China makes their own version of the HMMWV now, so while there isn't a huge civilian market for them, they already have all the tooling needed to make them, they just use very inferior materials to do so for our market.

160 is too cold. You've verified that it's staying at that temp using the laser probe temp sensor and not just a gauge error. The TM says it should be 170-200 during normal operation, if it's below that under a load, then something isn't right, so get a new thermostat and gasket installed and...

Oh, and if you have 24 bolt rims you should have radial tires, not bias ply. Bias ply were on the 8 bolt rims, and ran low pressure, around 20 to 25psi. 12 and 24 bolt rims run radials, and can be either 50 (12 bolt) or 65 (24 bolt) PSI depending on the actual tire installed on them.

You still need some type of bead lock, the 16.5 inch tire/rim aren't designed to run without it. Not safe to do. You can do a google search to find replacement bead locks, someone out there cuts them out of PVC pipe.

Okay, I expected them to be more of a ridge/ring that bulges out but starts out smaller in order to more easily get the hoses on, the flare makes it seem like fitting a hose on there would be pretty difficult. Flare portion is .550 inches, the flat portion is .400 inches diameter. Have you...

Without knowing the exact specs of the heat pump it's kind of hard to give an exact answer, but most likely you'll need the 803 as a run of the mill 4 ton heat pump is going to be minimum 26 amps and max of 40-45 amps surge on 208/240VAC. The two freezers, fridge, lights and TV are almost...

The vender got back to me, asked me for some pictures, and now they said they're talking to their AMG purchasing/engineers to figure out what's going on, so they aren't just blowing me off and seem to be taking this seriously. They sent me a picture of a new one in stock, and yeah, the top...

I looked a little closer at some of the seams. The plastic they made it out of seems to be as much bubbles as it is plastic, and some really big bubbles (comparatively) at the seams does not inspire confidence. I did message the seller and ask them about it, that they claim they only sell the...

So ordered a coolant surge tank from what seems like it would be a reliable source, not going to name them as not sure yet if it's legit or what's going on or if it's a fluke that they'll take care of, just wanted to ask here for those that have seen more of these than me if the replacement tank...

I'm not present at the tire to see exactly what is going on, but definitely sounds like something blocking the stem. If there is no way to push the blockage out of the way, maybe tapping the nail with a hammer gently or something, I think that personally, and I'm not advocating this for anyone...

NO!!!!! Do NOT split the rim with any pressure in the tire. Very bad juju

The QP75D is an 1800 rpm 3 cylinder diesel liquid cooled. Belt drive to the generator to spin the powerhead at 3600 RPMs. Generac got out of the RV generator business a few years back, so mostly right now holding onto it as a spare if someone needs a quick replacement in their RV. My...

Haven't done anything special to my recently acquired generator. It was a decent price with only 10 hours on it because something heavy got dropped on it, did some nice dents in some of the panels and twisted the entire enclosure. Managed to get it apart a little bit, charged up the batteries...

Still going over the new to me M1123, was adding some of the grounding harness (made my own, just did the 3 shorter wires for now, will need to have someone explain to me why the starter needs another ground on it when it's bolted to the engine block, same thing the supplemental ground attaches...

Not an issue I've ever seen with any of my customers, but that's pretty funny :)

The reason I don't recommend it is that not as many people have an F450 in the non-professional world than would have something like the F350 and a 12 foot flatbed. The way that trucks are rated for hauling is different now than when my truck was built so I don't trust newer load ratings. The...

So just got back from Yermo this morning at 4am after a 66 hour trip from start to finish. I didn't haul it the whole way like this, but the part that it was like this I didn't have any issues with it at all. Some chains, a few straps, a couple 8x12 blocks of wood, and it didn't budge. I don't...

That sucks. Mine is one of the M1123 from the USMC at Yermo, going down tuesday to finally get it. Good luck, hope you hear some good news soon.

I thought the old stencils saying 20 and 25 were for when they ran bias ply tires on the 8 bolt rims, the newer radials on 12 or 24 bolt rims should be higher than that. I've seen 30-45 in front and 35-50 for the rear depending on load. The TM -10 says 20 front and 25 rear for the M998 at...

yikes, that's almost a month before I submitted mine. Have you checked in with them to see what's going on?
