    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    I once had to move such a safe. It was HEAVY. Lots more weight than 100 lbs. A two drawer safe. Big sucker. After we got it out of the truck, it occurred to us, (the truck just came back from down range) that maybe something of a confidential matter might be locked up in the safe! Top secret...

    Unscrew a plug wire. Remove the plug. Hook up the plug wire to the plug. Hold the plug, with a pair of slip joint pliers, (with rubber insulation on the grips of course) next to the frame. Have your handy assistant turn it over. You should see the spark. Spark plugs should be set at: 0.028-0.038...

    I really didn't look at the hook up much, as the problems were engine related. Oil pressure switch once, and then some problems with bad radiators/hoses and leaks. The tunnel gen sets were new, and these were "bugs" that needed to be worked out. I think they were sort of "expedited" into...

    Looks good! I have stayed out of this thread because I only worked on tunnel gen sets three times, all engine problems. The vans were Tip Top Secret at the time and I had to have my security clearance check again before they would even let me near the thing. Every few minutes some wiesel would...

    Oh no!!!!!!!!!! An Ordnance guy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lord save us. No, not everyone can be born lucky, and be an Engineer. You got to start thinking about a branch transfer. Just kidding partner.
