Helmet nor knee pads would have helped. They hit 5 inches below the knee.
You will have to wait to see JW's pics to see if I had any safety equipment on.
I watched Ferro get out of his truck and whack on his box all while stranded in the middle of the river at Haspin last year. If my 813 ever starts acting up I'm yanking the box.
While it has been slower than I wanted with the cold setting in JW4x4, Gimpy and I got a lot done today on the truck. We also got a much closer look at the line on the side of the block that Gimpy thought was a crack. We had the engine up higher and I put a light right on and got up close...
So long as they have the space and you called there should not be any problem. In Ohio I could record them on the phone telling me it was okay to wait. YMMV

Oh, the easiest way to get 12v is with a converter from 24v to 12.
If you are going to hope it holds together at redline read my last post link a few times. I run my "new" M813 at around 2,150RPM which is way below redline. I do not want to change a Cummins 855.
I didn't buy mine from an auction. :-)
It is a good truck and I'll be posting more pics as I pull the motor apart but it got cold and I'm slower in the cold.......
Post #74 shows us getting it out...
First, thank you for your service. Second, my engine blew July first coming home from an event and it is stock. I don't push any of the trucks, ever but you don't know who drove it before you. I'm still working on getting mine back together.
