Yes, that is a XM1061 trailer. I wish that there were an easy way to move the boogies further to the rear of the trailer to gain some more weight on the pintle. Empty the trailer weighs 5800 lbs, and has a gross weight of 15K and change. Nice trailer, but too heavy to pull with a deuce on a...

Are you talking about using an electric heater in the truck? I lost the heater core early this year in my 4runner. Having loaned out my two other vehicles and not having 16 hours to spare to pull the entire dash assembly out I purchased one of the ceramic 12 volt heaters. A total waste of $60...

I was also interested in fuel consumption on a distant trip, Which is why I asked Seano11 what his truck did going back to Canuckville. If I recall, he stated 245 miles on about a half a tank of fuel. As far as a smaller engine producing the same HP as its larger brother, 25 years of engine...

The A2 trucks received the Cummins 8.3 liter engine. 8.3 liters is 505 cubic inches The plain flavored trucks and the A1's have the Cummins NHC-250, 14 liter engine. The 14 liter engine is 855 cubic inches. My guess as to the lack of heat is that one of the fresh air doors wasn't fully closed...

Make them yourself. The local autoparts store should have long sections of brake tubing. If you want the lines to look professional, get a hand bender and a double flair kit. For what you will pay to have someone do the lines for you, you can purchase the tools and extra lines and learn a...

I'll ask before someone else does. Where are the safety chains?

I'm going to go against the grain of mil-gensets and recogmend a Honda inverter genset or two. For power outages that you only need a few lights and other insundry power items for the Honda EU1000i can't be beat. It's quiet, less than 50 dB in operation and uses less than a gallon of fuel in 4...

I've been on the short side of a couple of GL auctions. Even when you show them their error, they point to the fine print, all sales final, buyer should preview. I'm not driving extended distances to preview a $500 item and GL knows this. Internet auctions exist so that one does not have to...

The Greenlee CM-600 is available for $65 via the big auction site. I bought on a few years ago to compliment my Fluke 87 series vom's clamp attachments.

OK Sean, now that you have driven the truck for a few days and racked up some miles, how is the Cummins 8.3 doing on fuel mileage? I want a M923 but am undecided on the NHC-855 and the 8.3.

Due to the amount of time the trucks sat, I'd pull the drum for a inside inspection. I'd like to tell you you'd only have to pull the can and the wedge, but not seeing how rusty the other parts were, we'd be taking a SWAG on what's the culprit. Pull the one then decide of the others also...

Would that be the "No-Tell Motel"? What happens in Columbus stats in Columbus.

Chances are that your brake problem is due to a sticky brake wedge. The ABS system only reads the sensor on the rear axle. Both axles are controlled via the ABS module. Pull the drum, and sand all the brake gliding surfaces and coat with a high temperature waterproof grease. Don't over due it...

Go ahead and hang another 3 lbs worth of pulleys on the front of the NHC-250. When you break the end of the crank off, you'll have the rememberance of doing it your way. Cummins got away from the small cam engine design due to the requirement of additional horse power. If all they had to do was...

If you go past a Walmart, stop in and get some RainX washer fluid. Combined with a good set of wiper blades, you'll be able to see without having to use the wipers under most conditions. And while you're at it, clean the windows inside the truck using the RainX spray on window cleaner. They...

That's because is spelled Carlisle Pa. He's west of York Pa by a few miles.

A supercharger is a parasitic device, meaning it uses horse power to create boost, while a turbo uses "free" exhaust gas to create boost. Aquired from another site. http://www.automotivearticles.com/Supercharger_vs_Turbocharger_.shtml THE CASE FOR SUPERCHARGING Since a crank driven s/c (s/c =...

Good luck is all I can say. A dark color is going to show all defects. POR15 is not a good base coat for a top coating. POR15 makes a topcoat but is rather pricey. Forget multiple applications as the more you spray the more smeg you trap in the paint. If it were me, I'd work the front clip...

Try giving B&W auto Electric just north of Baltimore a call. 410-665-8998 They used to stock all types of parts for Leese Neville, both 12 and 24 volt systems. They are located about 45 minutes south of John's Apple's shop, on Harford Rd in Parkville MD.
