    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I could see him putting tracks on it but knowing how much Soni loves his steel plate I don't think you will ever see amphibious or VTOL.:-D

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    You have room front and back, why don't you think about two tanks but have them plumbed together so that they empty at the same rate and therefore keep the load balanced. All it would take is a 1/4 inch line between the two tanks and that would even out the level but not allow a rapid transfer...

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    50 gallons of fuel forward of the unit adds 350lbs of weight to the tongue of the trailer!! You may want to rethink that and go with multiple smaller tanks distributed evenly.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    This is exactly why I have followed Soni's work for many years. PLUS, he is doing it outside! No garage here. How many of you guys build something like this in the winter outside?

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    Can I suggest this thread be deleted or moved elsewhere? When I see HELP I jump right to it only to find a post that is months old. Not much I can do to help there. Rick

    Needle gun/Scaling gun

    You can get the same one as above from Harbor freight cheaper. Yea, I know where it is made but it works and they sell the needle kits. I can buy four of those guns before coming close to the price of an American one. I save that money for the impact guns and hand tools, US made only!

    Needle gun/Scaling gun

    Great for knocking rust off of frames. WEAR EAR AND EYE PROTECTION! You will need a healthy size compressor or a large air tank.

    biggest pintel trailer (aka pintle,pintail,pinal,pinto,etc)

    Man I would not want to keep that thing in tires!!! I figure those fronts will last 5,000 miles if not doing any city driving. And you better have a healthy air brake system.

    biggest pintel trailer (aka pintle,pintail,pinal,pinto,etc)

    30,000 lbs, plus with a pintle! WOW. You know, there are some jobs that regardless how bad you want to do them cheaply you have to realize that there is no way to do so safely. This is a job for people with experience in moving not only heavy loads but heavy WHEELED loads that, if not secured...

    What do I look for when buying a bobbed M35A2

    I have never bobbed a deuce but I would assume there has to be some welding of some sort done for the rear suspension? Check the welds for quality, penetration and cracks. Cracks should show up as sharp rust lines.

    Try to purchase a used MEP generator

    Like I said, engine donor.

    Try to purchase a used MEP generator

    Quick answer, 400 hz generators are good for engine donors, that is about it. You cannot run anything except resistive loads off of them. Rick

    Davey/Ingersoll Rand Air Compressor

    Well you got yourself a deal. If it maintains with the ball valve open then it is higher than 15CFM. I would like to have one but at this point I have to start thinking about selling stuff. It will not be long before I cannot walk so that kind of stuff would not help me much. I see they have a...

    Lam Son 719--Living & Transporting

    Red, thanks for bumping this up since I had never seen it. Very nice work Driver. Uglyranger and I had talked many times on other forums about 151's and also the guntrucks. Rick

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    I am not sure how many numbers you can be off on that button. Diesels are very timing critical. All the white smoke tells me that at least one cylinder is not firing. Did you check the button by the math method or the port timing method? The math method is best since you have both the new and...
