I've been getting the Klean Strip brand from the local Sherwin Williams store. It's the only stripper I've found that will remove CARC without problems. Eye protection is a good idea, but also protect your lungs. I use a full face respriator with the yellow chemical cartriges, the ones with...
I saw that on TV after it happened. The unloading hose ruptured releasing a cloud of propane that eventually reached the engine, causing it to runaway and explode. It probably would have caused an explosion anyway because it happened at a foundry while it was in operation.
I've seen signs posted on the steering wheel at GSA auctions warning not to start the engine because it would run away. Blown turbo seals is one way this could happen. I've never seen one in person, but Grove cranes have an air shutoff on the inlet to provide emergency shutdown. I saw one...
I don't know if it's the same for brake fluid, but the purple dye we put in synthetic fire resistant aircraft hydraulic fluid was designed to fade to indicate the exposure of the fluid in service. If it got to hot, oxidized, or absorbed moisture it would fade out to indicate the need to...
It occurs to me that you would need to find the total operating volume of the front wheel cylinders and the same for the four rear cylinders and find a master cylinder with the proper volumes. It seems to me that most dual cylinders would have about the same volumes front and rear as they would...
I may have misunderstood tbrenner's question about the mushroom. I was referring to those of us putting just the intake mushroom, not the whole filter from a deuce and a half. I was just wondering if the mushroom and necessary reducer produced additional restriction. I wouldn't have needed...
I've kinda wondered about that same thing. I was thinking about putting a muchroom on the intake of my 5 ton to keep the squirrels from filling it with acorns every fall. After trying to find a reducer for the 4" to 5" on the air cleaner of the 5 ton, I got to thinking about air restriction...
Sounds to me like another one who has already made the decision to do something and is just looking for validation from the list. It's your truck do whatever you like.2cents
Do you really want to go to a remote area with the minimum?
So exactly what does "Bob The Oil Guy" prove? If you over rev any oil you can whip it into a froth. Why didn't he just put it in a blender? Would have done the same thing without all the work. What are his credentials? Opinions are like a??holes, everyone has one and they all stink...
That's easy, there's a buck to make. Anybody that has seen their infomercial and doesn't see the snake oil advertizement in it bought a line. Has anyone ever seen a situation like shown in the ad?
Or ever existed like the WW! tank with the WW2 turret, where did that come from? I still like war movies I just have to curb my critizism of their
authenticism, especially when they llist a consultant and don't listen to him.
I've been using AC A144C filters I bought for $10 apiece on Epay. They're the right diameter but only 10" long instead of 12". I turned a spacer to match the filter and the clamp to take up the extra 2" gap. Ya, I know they don't have the same 700 CFM rating but the truck runs OK and nobody...
I love NCIS, however in one episode there was a 5 ton cargo that had the M35 mushroom on a reducer mounted on the air cleaner. My wife hates it too when I pick movies apart, but it's so much fun!
