. I poked around on the Classifieds parts for sale and came up empty. Can't help but wonder if you put a "parts wanted" listing. Almost wonder if a complete parts truck couldn't be had for less than the ePay listing that you found... Hopefully somebody besides me is looking - and has a better...

. That sounds like it could get expensive really quick! Air tight vehicle, squeeze 25% of your air volume - and something has to "give" for sure. Guessing that somewhere along the way Prevost designers made an automatic vent open feature maybe in the second generation?

. Somebody has a harness I'm sure, but maybe with a little more info - some of us can offer up some suggestions. You mention that your harness is falling apart. As I was typing this, DaneGer21 posted a link. Going into the plug means what please sir? Do you mean the plug into the SignalStat...

. Company that I worked for had machinery that would be "left on the lot" sitting waiting for the next job. Some of that machinery was used for a few weeks, then it would sit again used for pulling wire through stringing blocks. Those motors would be field prep'd with MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil...

. @Guyfang was the solution to finding the numbers. He knows how to make a number hunting quest go really easy for the rest of us! Glad you have what you needed.

. Dang Right!! Sounds like it would be a heck of an adventure too. Owning a tracked vehicle would definitely be fun. Driving an M4 (high speed tractor) on Davidson Street here in Charlotte was a big adventure in the 1980's. Company that owned them had street tread and so the adventure in...

. Well, not being an aircraft engineer I can't guarantee that to be the truth. Just that several "P3 Drivers and Operators" told me that more than once. Couldn't swear to it, but it seems very reasonable.

. The MAD (magnetic anomaly detection) boom out the back needs the least possible interference and the intakes on top is much like the B2 with intakes on top. Makes the plane quieter...

. Congratulations on your new toy! She definitely looks good from here...

. And the TM was marked up with a red magic marker :cool: to boot!

. Had to snag a few screen grabs - just in case people couldn't see these NEAT pix!

. Alcohol - Isopropanol has less water content. Goal is to remove the water, so the higher the number the better. Highest I have found is 99%. Worthy of Consideration: Alcohol dries out rubber. The more you use it, the more the hoses and diaphragms and rubber o-rings in the air system are...

. Real similar to finding vacuum leaks using ether... Then when you have a leak confirmed and the motor speeds up - a few squirts of oil on or on the spot around an intake manifold - firms it up even more.

. Agreed. Saw others after I posted that. Several were mechanical - operated with a wrench. Least expensive version that I saw was $150. Looks a bit flimsy...

. Wow that truck seems incredibly clean...

. Chances are that you have "hose crud" (decomposing rubber) getting sucked through the system. I would expect you to find that in the tank filter in mass quantities. Could be wrong, but hose rubber will eventually clog up the valves and the rotation manifold is going to catch a lot of it...

. Yes! And working for a company with a blue logo and three letters in the name - it was incredibly cool to have the printer room deliver a skid of punch cards to your office. That same amount of information would be stored today on a small USB drive. I also remember when we got dot matrix...

. So, I waddled out to the passenger door on my M1088 and also to the M1089. There is a data plate on the doors of both trucks. I have them both attached. Those numbers appear to me that they are the "off road"numbers - but it is my best guess at best. AND these are 6x6 rather than 4x4, so we...

. What about this... Spec Sheet is attached. Towed Load of 12,000 lb The thing that I don't know is if that stated capacity is on-road or off-road and I don't see that spelled out in the Stewart & Stevenson "glossy".

. And that Speed Limit 55 sticker on the drivers side fender... ?
