    That could be a good thing for you not to purchase one now. The EV industry is evolving as we speak. The future EVs will be way more affordable and get twice to three times the driving range with the new battery technologies their working on. If you buy now you will be instantly behind the...

    How do you bolt radio antenna mounts to truck?

    Old thread but: Nutsert is another term/brand name. I have a complete kit and love it. One draw back, you will tend to Nutsert everything you work on.

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    That sounds like a bad business plan for Liland Global if they want to last in business for more than a few years. I don't need a radiator yet but I wont buy one from them after hearing about your problems with their service.

    Show room quality. I feel I would have to wash my hands first just to look at it. Great job.

    M1102 cracked drawbars at A frame

    Too many rocks at one time in your crusher? Or was it one of your "slightly but neatly overloaded" firewood hauls

    Mep803a wiring to home panel questions?

    Depends if your trying to hook up a portable generator or installing a whole house standby generator system. My install was a 20 K Cummins standby with a 200 amp auto transfer switch. Expect to spend $900.00-$1,500.00 on the switch or $6,000.00 + on a complete system + installation extra. Check...

    M1009 lost all electrical power

    I still think it was a bad battery. My M1009 acted the same way as your ride and had me buffaloed for days. I went through all the motions of checking everything electrical. I even disconnected and cleaned all the grounds and fuse holders with no joy. The battery and its connections was the...

    M1009 lost all electrical power

    So the front battery must have ended up being bad?

    M1009 lost all electrical power

    IMHO & IMPE If your front battery is bad as you stated, you should paus all other repairs in till you replace it. My M1009 acted the same way and it turned out to be a bad battery that had a few of the cells shorted. Low voltage can and most likely will destroy your starter relay under the dash...

    Polaris MV850

    Sorry for your lose. I was still wondering how he got ahold of the MV850 in the first place. His actual comment when I questioned it was "I have a connection with an agency that allows me to get stuff like this" The government was not selling/surplusing them directly to the public back in...

    Mep803a wiring to home panel questions?

    If you don't have an automictic transfer switch you must have an interlock of some sort in place. If not, there is a chance of a back-feed if you forget the process of shutting the main off and starting your generator. Or worse yet, someone else that is not familiar with the proper operational...

    Mep803a wiring to home panel questions?

    Don't be messing with your project if your not experienced or qualified to do the install. All it will take is a faulty installation with the potential of back-feeding your service entrance to the grid. Without the proper disconnect, you can end up killing a lineman working on the powerline...

    Need some help picking a generator for single-phase and 3-phase use

    Ditto here. Very happy with my Cummins "Propane fueled " genset and it comes with a warranty.

    NY Potential HMMWV Buyer

    Smells when you drive it? Maybe the PO used it for a toilet smell? Or is it more of a Fuel smell?
