You guys yell about how good the collectors insurance is but I bet every one of you is using the truck outside of the policy terms.
Get State Farm. My renewal just came in an its $109 for 6 month, $218 a year, $18/month. No restrictions, daily driver. It only has state minimums, but its...
Found it:
“[I]t is well established that the essential elements of a summary offense must be set forth in the citation so that the defendant has fair notice of the nature of the unlawful act for which he is charged.” Borriello, 696 A.2d at 1217. In Borriello, we reversed a trial court's...
I just signed for a CEO letter Friday. It cited a two ord's about 'refuse' and unregistered vehicles.
The letter said if I needed to I could go to borough hall to read the ords (I won't) or call him (I won't).
My response is simple: I will WRITE a letter refuting the violations. Why...
NO. Did you read this part:
"
We have used it to pull trailers, skid logs, truck pulls and much more."
Let me run that through the 'I am an eternal skeptic' translator:
"We beat the piss out of this truck for fun. It finally broke, so we repainted it, fixed some stuff, and are now trying...
I'm still not sure what 'it' is.
$60k for a repower, tranny and power steering?
Power steering kits might run $2k, a 4BT and NV4500 is $5k-ish. You are doing the labor (it seems) so no adt'l cost.
Even if you are using a crate motor and new tranny.. but where does $60k go and still not...
kinda looks like they repainted it after seeing transformers.
Even if he meant to say M212
M221 TRUCK, TRACTOR, 2 1/2 TON, 6X6
Its still a light weight tractor...and looks nothing like the M221 should.
Unless there is a very convincing story pass... its little more than an M211 with a...
I never seem to find these free parts. If I do see something, the part I need (motor etc) is the reason its being tossed out. For $40 I don't have to hassle with a mount (built in feet) and if it does die, I can get the same motor that fits right back into the setup with no issues. IIRC the...
Since the SBC oil pump and drill get pretty old pretty quick I searched for a motor to rig up. Since I am all about the 'cost savings' $150+ for a motor is not realistic, I simply don't more that much oil to need it.
So, off to (you guessed it) Harbor Freight to get a 1HP clean water pump.
1"...
My list is pretty solid.. I *need* these parts and if you have them lets talk:
(In oder of preferance)
Winter grill and hood covers
M35a2 top bows and side stakes (don't need corners, just the wood).
A broken altenator for an M35 (one of the ears snapped off mine so I just need the front...
I will be travelling from NC (Wilkesboro) to PA on Thursday. I have a jeep cherokee that can take some small items if anyone needs anything taken back.
I will also be goi to the Gilbert PA meet so I can do a hand off there.
PM by this Wednesday as I leave at noon on Thursday,
I had to do the same thing in PA with my CCKW. Just call the local State Police and ask them if they want you to drive to the barracks or if they want to come to your house. The PA Trooper came to my house. I already had a rubbing of the VIN and all he did was sign it with his Trooper info...
" I use the same setup again but I add a third filter, this one is a filter housing off a deuce with a 6 micron wix filter(the same ones I run on the truck). Any smaller micron I think is a waste of time"
Better to clog up a filter at your house than on the road.
Filter to 1micron. You...
Torque rods only see compression/tension (they absorb the torque from the axle) so I don't see a huge deal with welding in a donor section that you cut off another rod... heat treat to stress relieve and you would never know its not stock with a good welder, a grinder and paint.
You could not...
You guys have the proper permits (aka fuel taxes) to burn that stuff, right?
I don't think I will ever go biodiesel for my M35 but even running pure WMO requires the tax man to be paid. One fine and everything you saved is eaten up by the IRS and the penalties.
If you read the TMs some tasks are schedualed based on miles, time, or both. It could be that a unit was PMing trucks that were not driven to simply fill the schedule. Yes, it is VERY POSSIBLE that trucks that were not driven still had the oil changed. When I was i the Navy our PMMP had us...
FILTER IT! The onboard filters are only 20micron or so (posts have varied a little on the exact number).
Spend the $25 for 3 filters ( 7x32in 10,5,1mircon socks, all stuffed inside one another - UtahBioDiesel.com) and filter on the way into the barrel (there are a few pics of how to set this...
