My Hewitt EGT gauge with the typical "K" style thermocouple, quit giving me readings last week. But before I tear into this to try and figure out what went wrong, I thought I would ask you guys about the easiest way to troubleshoot the problem. I have physically traced the wire from the probe...

This Saturday, 12 September, at the Bennett Colorado VFW, the MVCC will be displaying some of their member collector vehicles. The Club will provide coffee and donuts, the VFW will provide lunch. Come hang out with us and enjoy the "Bennett Days Parade!" Staging time is 0830 to 0915.
A few years back, there was a Member that installed a switch on a Genset, that in one position bonded the Neutral and Ground, and in the other would separate, or un-bond the Neutral and Ground. I'm sure the reasoning was to be able to safely attach the Genset to residential service, or as a...
I read a few threads about this but didn't find any photos or text covering the actual installation. I procured a 12/24 Niehoff unit today and would like to know what I'm getting into. Somebody has to be a better "searcher" than me.
The MVCC is going to support this with a few vehicles. I'd like to see if I can get a few of my re-enactor buddies to show up with a Vietnam Era weapons display. Maybe Henderson can get out of Cheyenne for awhile to have a little fun. (The wind stopped blowing here for now).
The MVCC is planning a Military Vehicle Rally this summer for the weekend of July 25-27th. This time around we're going to do a camp out. We are going to be using the Rampart Reservoir Campgrounds:
Thunder Ridge Campground...

Yesterday while digging though a tub of spare parts, I ran across a package of Pedal Stop Bumper Pads I had purchased from Erik's Military Surplus a few years ago. Not wanting good Sunday afternoon project time to go to waste, I grabbed the package, a few tools, and out to the driveway I went...
While working on a 003A genset w/ASK for a Bud of mine, I noticed this strange arrangement of 45's in the exhaust box. Any reason for this being done? I would think you'd want just the turned down 45's that came with the unit to keep water out of the engine. Any thoughts?
My 6TL's finally gave up. I have been searching for the thread that has the 3 battery setup, but no joy. I'd like to do this and get the Delco 12 volt alternator and bracket from TM America. Anybody have the link to that thread handy?
Anyone have a good photo of an A3 radiator not mounted in the truck? I came across some radiators and I'm trying to figure out what they go into. I'll post them up for sale if they are A3's.
I have read several different threads about tow bar storage on cargo trucks, but I didn't recall this being considered. With a little thought and some decent weather, I came up with this installation. As you can see in the photos, it's just a metal framing channel (Unistrut) ell bracket bolted...
Anyone have a substitute product for the Deuce Map Compartment Door Gasket? The NSN is 5330-00-693-0611, P/N 7373339. I know there are alot of adhesive-backed sealing products out there, I just wanted to know if anyone had replaced the gasket with something that worked real well.
Since we cannot discuss politics on this site (good idea) why are we accepting ads for politicians? I just caught this in the ad window.

Not trying to get on anyone's bad side, just curious.
I was looking over my 105A2 today and doing some PM work trying to get her ready for the big Air Show in 2 weeks. I greased the leaf springs, dolly wheel, and brake handles. I took a look at the air reservoir tightened all the fittings, and noticed the crumby petcock for the drain. I replaced...
