I used to drive a single axle Ford F-800 armored truck that had a 3000 lb lift gate that we routinely loaded with 12 skids of coin. Each skid weighed 3300 lbs. The tagged GVW was 32,000 lbs. One day we got stopped by the weight enforcement division and after that we never loaded the truck with...

My concern with doing "Donuts" is breaking an axle. I've seen a lot of oil delivery trucks getting onto side streets for deliveries in snowy conditions only to snap an axle when the spinning wheels finally got traction with the now uncovered pavement.

They call the shrouds, Tins over at smokstak. Shrouds are a hard item to find as the civilian version has to be modified for the oil cooler and there are a lot of MEP's that have been scavenged for parts. For what an injector pump goes for you can buy another MEP-003a from GL. Sorry to...

Do you have access to a set of inside and outside micrometers? If the axle is pulled and the hub still runs HOT, it can't be the axle. Try swapping the hubs from left to right side and see if the hub assembly still runs hot. If the same side still runs hot, then I would look at the axle...

OK, How much oil and water are you draining from the air tanks? Are the oil lines that feed the compressor tight and leak free? If the air tanks aren't oily, I would not be concerned about "some" oil (moist) around the air intake provided that the compressor recovers pressure after a few...

How cold is your shop? If the air temperature is below 40 degrees or so the rings on the compressor won't seal well until its run up to temperature. Also, cold air condenses more moisture, so check the tank for water. My 5hp 3 phase two stage Ingersoll compressor resides in my shed most of...

Supplied to what specification and who is the manufacturer? The Mil-C-46168 specification is cancelled, however my main customer still requires that I purchase and use the 46168 product. Hentzen, Pratt & Lambert and Sherwin Williams still manufactrue to this specification. I see references...

As I posted in another thread, there are three specifications for CARC paint. CARC is an acronym for Chemical Agent Resistant Coating. It was designed to be capable of being decontaminated in the event of nerve agents being used against US forces. CARC also contains pigments that absorb...

The grounding rods are 42" long (at least the ones supplied on the MEP-003a set) made of 5/8" diameter solid copper, and have a pointed male thread one end and a female thread on the other end. Any thread size above 3/8-16 can be used so long as you can screw in a bolt to the female thread so...

Nice score on the Mep with the ASK kit and the other genny with the NEW slave cable. Chambersburg does no load outs on Mondays or Fridays, or that's what I was told when I purchased a Mep-003 from them a couple of months ago. I scheduled my load out for a Tuesday, made arraignments for a...

Many states have a provision for gifting a vehicle form one blood relative to another without the paying of a transfer tax being collected. I gave my Dad a vehicle two years ago and used the "gift letter" so all he had to pay was the vehicle titling fee. He is located in Virginia and I'm in...

I'm not familiar with Rapco, but if the surface of your paint is not chalky you can clean the surface via power washing, then drying and apply an enamel top coat right over CARC. If its chalky or you have loose paint or you have a lighter color showing through (the primer) its best to remove...

CARC paint is a polyurethane paint with the addition of infrared pigments used to absorb different spectrums of light. It was designed to be able to withstand chemical decontamination in the event of nerve gas being used against US forces. CARC stand for Chemical Agent Resistant Coating. I...

The gears for the wire feed sit right above a high voltage tap. If the connections to the tap are loose they can heat up with use and any grease that flings off the gears will smoke. Tighten up the connections and lightly lube the gear shafts with high temperature silicone grease. If the...

Thee reading from 1 to 2 should be 5 ohms +/_ about .5 ohms. From 1 to 3 and from 2 to 3 the circuit should be open. Check the resistance of all of your plugs for a sanity check if you think you are performing the testing in-correctly. edited to add open circuit 1 to 3 and 2 to 3.

I found glow plugs for quite a few Mil type applications from these guys. http://www.indusadist.com/webmaster_008.htm I was able to get glow plugs for my MEP-003a from them for $18.00 each. They list the CH48 plug for $32.95 each
