    Cost of sandblasting?

    That's why you don't use beach or playbox sand for sandblasting. Any sandblast media that contains silica is not a good thing to breath.

    Dodge 318 to 360 Swap Questions

    The 318 is an internally balanced engine verses the 360 being an external balanced engine. Both engines will have a 727 Torque Flight transmission. The flex plate/flywheel is a separate part. It attaches to the converter with four bolts. When making the swap, use the exhaust manifolds from...

    Weight station Question

    The GVWR of the dually would dictate whether or not you need to stop. The travel trailer is classified as a RV, but the tow vehicle is still a truck quite possibly with a GVWR over 10,001 lbs which triggers stopping at the scale. The North Carolina public safety website sucks for providing...

    Weight station Question

    RV's aren't trucks so that point is moot. When you get into the class of a dually pick-up truck pulling a tandem axle trailer, you best stop by the scales. I have only been tagged out of service for oil leaks in California, your results may vary. The example of the 1/2 ton pick-up truck...

    M101A Trailers

    If it were I, I would just rent a U-haul trailer to do the recovery of the generator with then once safe at home would I start looking for a trailer. Lots of trailers come up for sale in Hooks or if you wish to drive further, Jacksonville Blount Island has trailers, both the M101a3's and...

    MEP-003A Glow Plug

    The part of the glow plug that goes into the cylinder head is 1.5 inches long from the thread. The sealing surface is 3/4 below the threads. Figure on soaking the glow plug area with PB Blaster or Kroil for a few days before attempting the removal. The glow portion of the plug is a rod...

    Wrong data plate for M105A2 trailer???

    The only thing you need to worry about is that whatever serial number they have on the data plate matches the information that YOU fill out on your application for the SF-97 or title application from GL. Replacement data plates are available for the M105a2 trailers from a couple of places...

    MWO on M105A3 Landing Leg

    That was my thought exactly, but there are some members that may wish to perform the MWO to keep the trailer in Mil-Spec form. I was able to find out that Bulldog made the leg jack. For my two trailers that I purchased back in July, I modified the rotating socket by thru drilling and...

    MWO on M105A3 Landing Leg

    I spoke with Mr David Wolf from Williams Innovations this afternoon in reference to the purchase of the landing gear leg retrofit kits called out in the MWO. Presently they are just keeping their collective heads above water filling the government orders. I explained that there were a fair...

    On The Road To Recovery!

    With the trailer sitting level, the rear bumperette still sits higher than 25". The trailer bed height is 37", so unless you mount a pintle in the bed of your truck you still won't get to the 25" inch height. Most states had a requirement for commercial vehicles that you needed mud flaps if...

    difference?????

    Clinto, the M105a3 was designed to be towed behind either the 2 1/2 or 5 ton truck.

    difference?????

    M105a2 trailer used 9.00x20 tube type NDT tires, air over hydraulic brakes and a very heavy front landing gear leg. The bed internal dimensions are 108.0" long x 74.0" wide. The distance between wheel wells is approximately 58" The M105a3 trailer uses 10.00x22.5 tubeless radial tires. The...

    GL auctions ending Nov. 5th 2009

    For $855 plus fees and taxes, you must have really wanted that trailer. BTW, the one at Meade went for $596 plus fees and was almost new.

    Have up-armored humvees ever been sold to the public?

    Very afraid of us. Most VIP armor is Kevlar/fiberglass based due to the weight of steel and the forming of the panels. Higher levels of protection are available when combined with ceramic plates. If looking at protecting a fuel tank, look at the guards used on school buses. Here in MD they...

    Cost of sandblasting?

    Yes there are. The primer used on military vehicles until recently contained chromium and lead. The CARC topcoat while in liquid form is toxic, in cured form does not present that much of a danger, though and heavy metals contained in the sanding dust if inhaled into your lungs are not a good...

    Cost of sandblasting?

    The M116a2 is the chassis not the box trailer, but you knew that. If you decide to wire wheel any of the paint on the trailer, make sure that you at least wear a particle mask that seals to your face. From the experiences that I have with aerospace parts that require painting after being...

    Which paint gun

    A 1.7, 1.8, or a 1.9mm diameter tip will work. Depending on the type of spray gun purchased, gravity feed, pressure feed or suction feed, will dictate just how much paint you gun will be able to atomize. I can't speak for application of Gillespie, but CARC from Hentzen, or Sherwin Williams...

    Rear flex hose/brake hose question

    Probably just using what they had in the supply chain. As long as the hoses don't get eaten by the springs or tires, life should be good.
