    Options for higher top speed?

    This ^ With 16.00s on my M925 I don't even see 5th gear until cruising on the interstate. Thing is, you pretty much need to treat the transmission as a manual. Otherwise the downshift will be late and the upshifts will be early. A pic, just for general principles -

    Alternative Fuel For M998

    WMO contains abrasive particles that you just can't filter out. Cost of accelerated wear > value of fuel savings.

    MILSPEC 2 conductor 16 ga shielded cable

    I've got several 18' sections of cable, with amphenol 14-5 connectors on one end, and 3/8 ring connectors on the other. It's 4 conductor at the distal end, but you could combine the conductors to make it two, or just dead end the two you don't need. It's milspec with armor between the...

    MILSPEC 2 conductor 16 ga shielded cable

    There's white insulated copper pairs designed to be used inside walls. It's typically about $0.30/ft @ 16ga. There's black insulated copper pairs rated for direct burial and used for things like outside lighting. Cost is something like $0.60 per foot. I haven't seen anything military...

    What's the best safest way to charge 6tl batteries

    I use one of these. It does 24V through the slave port to keep all the batteries at full charge, or it can be clipped to one battery at a time @12V to pulse/resurrect/compensate for uneven charging.

    M54 5-Ton Market Vallue

    Looks nice. Has winch. Upgraded seats. G177s. Clearly someone loved it. Presuming clean transferable AZ title. I'd be asking $15k. My suggestion- pay the fee and put it in the classifieds here.

    Made it to the Glacier!!!!
