Can't wait to see how the improved fan works for you. If it does you may have made another sale.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
"Top Shelf", barman, that's a good looking truck and that combo of yours is sure looking sharp.Last night I spent some time swapping the H2 wheels and tires I picked up last weekend onto the M101A2 trailers. One had the bias HMMWV wheels and tires. It was almost level when hooked to the Cowdog. The other trailer had stock M101 tires. It was at a pretty tail down once hooked up. I also messed up with the new rims. I thought they were just aluminum. Once I actually rubbed some of the dirt off I found they were polished. Oh well, I just won't clean them. The trailers line up real nice with the 315/70R17 tires.
That's a major story right there, Barman.Right as they pulled into the ER, I got comfortable across the back seat. By the time Jennifer had gotten all the paper work filled out and they were ready to see me, I was almost comfortable. When I got up, it didn't hurt as bad and I could almost walk standing up instead of hunched over. A few minutes of sitting inside and I thought I was fine. When they called me back I told them never mind that I was better. They insisted I get seen. My vitals were perfect and the doctor asked what was going on. I told the story and he said I had a kidney stone pass from a kidney to my bladder. When describing the flopping around in the back seat he called that the "kidney stone dance." He asked if I wanted to get admitted and tested. I told him we had 400 miles to go and a hotel room waiting for us in Espanola, NM. He just smiled, told me Muleshoe, Clovis and Santa Fe have ER's worth visiting, don't stop at any other place and hoped I stayed good.
Your rig "combo" looks real sharp and the matching wheels all around are slick, too.Here is the M101 with the canoe. Several bikes need to be taken as well, so the canoe gets stuck to the side.
"Better safe than sorry" is a policy with a whole lot of merit.Last Thursday I got Jennifer to sit in the truck and watch the voltage read out of the TPS while I adjusted it on the IP. I can't do this with my students because it would mean they were in a runnable vehicle with the keys in it. Not good for my safety or career. With her watching and calling out voltages, I was really getting worked up.
While looking for a shop to rebuild a 6.5 IP I seem to be hitting a price wall. Shops within 100 miles of me have no problem doing a 6.2 IP for $300-$500. Mention a 6.5 IP and they either tell me I am confused about it being mechanical or tell me "We can start at $1200 and see where it goes." I did find one that knew 6.5 trucks had mechanical pumps and was willing to say $800. That is still kind of high though. I keep looking at the Badger Diesel website and their $400 rebuild but it almost seems too good to be true.
