. Maybe you could have some Mack Trucks handles gold plated? :cool:

So maybe I am mean, but I wouldn't miss a wink of sleep if some "so-and-so" got burned up in an explosion if "it" drilled one of my gas tanks. Diesel is a little harder to ignite with a drill, but I remember last time fuel prices skyrocketed, drilling was a regular thing. The problem then...

. I ordered mine from @Suprman . I remember they were reasonable and shipping was too.

. I have not read the electrical code book in more than 40 years, so I am not the "guy with the ultimate answer" but my guess is that manual step - where you disconnect from the grid - then start your generator is where there is concern. Backfeeding into the grid is what ends up killing...

One item worthy of consideration is your need to disconnect the supply service - from the meter side - so that you aren't powering the entire grid with the power that you are generating. You don't want to electrocute the local power provider's employees as they attempt to rebuild the failed...

. She looks sharp!

. Welcome to the Outfit! (as an official member now) :) We do have a Mog section, so we definitely need pictures of your new-to-you truck! Show us what you got when you get it - or picture the recovery when you fetch it! Again, welcome from the other side of the country!

. A well lubricated track and regulator will make it last a long time

. Sadly - without something to type into their computer - the so called "parts counter" people these days are pretty useless... .

. Agreed that it is different from what we have, but the idea is there. Especially for the newer guys and this will get them a running start...

. Nice modeling and the finished install looks really awesome! Reliability on a manual switch or valve just can't be beat! .

. That is neat! I had no idea there was any such thing. Paint with built in "slickem" is pretty awesome.

. SummitRacing.com is a good place to get the cloth wire loom. The cab bushings are worth shopping. I bought two sets about 15 months ago from Memphis Equipment. Prices there were considerably less then. Today I don't see those parts on their website. With a quick web search, Midwest and...

. Space to work with is really nice to have! Can't imagine how it would be to try and do this job outside...

. Wow 3 pages of reading that completely explains what CTIS does and the very basics of how it works... Pretty amazing. The pictures in the PDF show a lot about the tire footprint Lifted the picture below from the ACELA document: .

. Everybody has something I feel sure, but one of the best and most useful tools would be a Milwaukee Fuel cordless half inch impact wrench. Good for removing axle bolts and lug nuts (remembering that left turn is important on the drivers side!). A nice 3ft pry bar to lift the tire onto the...

. Nice. Having a breaker box on the unit almost makes it stupid proof.

. Yeah. Once the motor is out, you either need to become Fred Flintstone or it's time for some new hardware up in the engine bay. :)

. And there is a smile on every face in those pictures! Looks like some really great family time. Congrats on finding and fixing your troubles!
