Those portables were really useful.
In later life, when the 286 motherboard had rolled over and died I did upgrades to several. I remember when the 486 and following that the Pentium (woooo!) boards and IDE hard drives made them into little screamers - that were "luggable lunchboxes" that...

Hi TomTill84 ,
This particular thread was last updated in 2006 so you may not get a lot of attention here with your question.
The 5-Ton vehicles like the M939 Series trucks that the Marine Corps use generally are specified with lockers in both read axles. Not a guaranteed thing in every...

Not so magic... Just a marker that is either permanent or removable - generally used on paper. Yeah, they tend to bleed into the paint and stain it permanently. Guessing that it was a permanent (oil based) and repelled the next coat of paint.
Magic Marker is a brand name like Kleenex or Coke

That is what we have here in the printshop. Air keeps us (our machines) alive. Air actuated cylinders on presses and collators... We use what I call electric "puke valves" that spit air (or water) out of the bottom of the air tanks. Yeah. It makes noise but no more than anything else air...

Depends on how high you want that hose to be. I have seen them on the back of the cab. I have seen them pushed up and into the cab. I have also seen breathers like that tube on the back of your intake tube pushed up and attached to the firewall (under the hood).
I can only guess, but...

It is incredibly OLD FASHIONED but the old overhead projector - something like was used in grade school - is a good way to push the outlines to the truck. The TM that shows you how to paint the shapes with a projector makes the job simple.
YouTube and searching will give you samples. Not...

Yes Sir. Here in North Carolina the same thing happens here. Everything has to be drained for the vehicles to be crushed too. The local "pull your own part" places locally have the gas tanks removed and fluids removed too to satisfy EPA requirements. Otherwise the ground would be...

Sad, but the military is getting rid of the vehicle. Adding a preservative would cost money and they don't care IMO. Maybe it has something to do with a "piece of paper process" that is similar to what happens in airplanes in the military bone yards.
We could consider it good fortune that...

I know it isn't really funny - but I agree!
My version of spotting is to back up real slow. Get out, look, adjust, do it again. Yeah, it can tire you out getting in and out - but a block or a 2x4 or something on the ground is a good reference point.
Much easier than having a spotter that...

The pool noodle or the cardboard suggestion from rcamacho are both functional fixes. Cardboard on a CUCV or old Chevy truck has been my solution for a lot of years...

Yep. In the days of old I carried a spare condenser, set of points and a few other things in the glove box of an old 67 Camaro. They bailed me out of a mess more times than one!

State Farm will insure it here in North Carolina for sure. What they do is insure it on a commercial policy only because their computer won't do it any other way. No license requirements. They just need proof of you and where you live - like a water bill, a light bill and a copy of your...

Fuel cost is way up!
Supply and Demand is another part of shipping at the moment as well. Lots of drivers now have a choice between a load that will barely cover costs and another that has more value. Guess which one gets picked up or delivered first? The "Talking Heads" have been spewing...

A little fear will make you smarter - or maybe stated differently:
Respect for a potential catastrophe is healthy!
Hopefully it will make you THINK before you ACT.
OR maybe you buy those services that could be hazardous to your health.
