To start with I got a 3-pack of inert grenades to fondle and find out which one felt the best in hand and had enough room for a micro switch. The pineapple grenade was the smallest one and the baseball grenade was a little too bulbous for me but the M26 lemon grenade was just right. Here is...

I just completed my most recent project which was to put a grenade shift knob on the shifter but with a twist. In preparation for jake brakes I wanted to be able to switch the brakes on and off from the shifter like modern big rigs so I went down a rabbit hole to put a micro switch inside the...

Thank you, it took a lot of work to get this finished but it turned out better than I expected. When you pull the pin there is a few seconds delay before...

I finally got my functional jake brake grenade shift knob installed! Just squeeze the spoon and the jakes come on (once I get the jakes installed). I will do a write-up on it in the hot rod section later but I couldn't resist not putting up a sneak peek...

Ok, so here's another question. Can jake brakes with the auto lash adjusters be used on an NA engine safely? I will most likely have the jake heads installed a year before I get the turbo put on.

77 AMG, how is your crew cab conversion going?

Do you guys think that a divided exit manifold combined with a divided entry turbo would not require the special adjusting screws?

I found some info on the PACBRAKE website regarding the single vs divided entry turbos and they call out special adjusting screws for divided entry turbo applications. I don't know anything about PACBRAKE but they use Jacobs same nomenclature on things. Maybe some of there parts are...

I am going to make a new batch of 5 ton hub helpers and a prototype 2-piece 2.5 ton hub helper. Before the laser cuts these out does anybody want a 5 ton version? Please PM me if you do. *Once I have a chance to fit the 2.5 ton version up to an M35 and I'm happy with it I will offer them for...

Could a front camera record your trips like a dashcam or is it live footage only?

I really like that rear view camera setup. Can it switch between GPS and camera modes?

Would transport company soldiers ever carry carbines like a CAR-15 or XM-177? I thinking of tankers & artillery personnel who would often carry shorter guns due to space constraints...

Came across this outfit on Ebay this time and look what the fine print says now:

I enjoyed watching the youtube portion - your truck looks great! You don't often see people standing next to these and that video showed just how big and tall these 5 tons actually are. Some of that gets lost in pics / videos of trucks by themselves.

Those complete dipsticks are cheaper than I expected. Cleaning the draft tube is free so I'll try that first.

I need to clean that filter for sure. Is that rubber part available from Cummins or elsewhere?

It doesn't seem to matter how tightly I compress the rubber base of the oil dipstick (NHC-250), it continually pushes out about 3/8". My first thought is blow-by or a restricted road draft tube but what else can cause this to happen? Could the rubber be hardened and not grabbing the tube...

I had the same issue with my M813 with conflicting quantities in the literature. In the end the Lube Order was correct at 27 quarts for the NHC-250.

I finally got the dual fuel mod done on my NHC-250. As promised by others who have gone before me, that stubborn pipe plug was a royal pain. It took an entire day to remove. After stripping through 3 allen bits, 2 torx bits, 3 easy-out extractors, and after drilling a 1/2" access hole in...

A refurb process would usually leave behind an MWO tag or depot data plate wouldn't it? Could the color of an engine be a clue as to being a replacement? My engine is a dark metallic gray color. I see others that are od green or black.
