    Are these batteries any good...?

    Obviously a load test is the only way to properly test a battery but if you have one with noticeably less voltage them you have a battery with issues.

    Are these batteries any good...?

    Check the batteries independently of each other for voltage. Should be around 12.6 12.7 for a fully charged battery. After it's been sitting for a bit. (Flooded)

    Denied access to Mess hall?

    A urine and stool sample is required for expired subscriptions beyond 90 days. I think this requirement is over the top but I don't make the rules here so... Mark

    Top speed

    I agree, 60mph for a three speed and 70mph for a four speed. Any more than that you are pushing things. The portals don't like much more than that either. At this stage of the game I'm not in much of a hurry. My new co-pilot for the 4th of July parade Wakefield MA.

    Glow plug day for my 1151a1 rev

    Yes good luck. These can be a real bear. Some you get from up top some from down below and the rears from inside the cab. Horrible design from the get go. Please make sure to use some copper never seize on the threads of the new ones. I sure hope you got real ones and not that chicom junk. Mark

    Bleeding brake cylinders on M151A1

    You got some bad info. Easiest way is to have someone help you and bleed the brakes. Start with the wheel cylinder farthest from the master cylinder and work your way up. Mark

    Two Stars of WWII

    Nightmare for a noob…….

    If leaking oil at the air filter it could be a transmission fluid leak due to a vampire leak . Check your tranny fuild kevel. Check to see if the fluid in the air filter housing is red tranny fluid. If so it would explain a number of issues. Mark

    I might be a little crazy – 4,000 mile M1079 recovery Illinois to Alaska

    You have more than your fair share of testicular fortitude for such an ambitious journey with an untested military truck. In my mind it would fall under the proposal of a friend that tells you "I'm taking up wing suit flying, what do you think?" In any event, I salute you Sir. Mark

    OK Oklahoma Insurance -- State Farm Fail -- Hagerty for the Win

    I had Plymouth Rock for the M998 and Geico for my other cars and motorcycle but Geico doubled my cost from last year with no changes from me so I dropped them fast. I went with Progressive for my reg stuff and Hagerty for my M998 and 93 Mercury Cougar show car and combined for 900 bucks for...

    My Dmax EGTs

    Yeah 1400 for a bit of time is rolling the dice. What's the max RPMs on the Duramax? My son has a 2003 5.9 and he tries to keep it under 3200 RPMs but it will obviously go higher. Mark

    Twin Turbo V12 M998

    Obviously that is more than enough torque at a lower rpm. How many speeds is the tranny andObviously that is more than enough torque at a lower rpm. How many speeds is the tranny and do you happen to know the stock converter stall speed? I love the initiative. What's the rpm limit of that...

    I'm interested in what low end torque that motor has to get these pigs moving.
