. Well Heck... Welcome to the Outfit! I would suggest downloading TM's, but after 8 years I would imagine you already have done that and "fixed stuff" using them. Best offer I have is to say welcome to the group - and start posting some pictures! You know how it is... Without pictures, it...

. That stuff is really good and surprisingly durable. I sprayed the battery cover on my M1089. It is fiberglass and there were "hairy fibers" all over it. Every time I touched it, I got glass in my hands. Sprayed with that and the problem is gone! It dries like a bullet! .

. Pretty darn neat. Noticed jack stands (leveling legs or similar) under there too. Forgot to make a comment about your jeep too @Gunny 0369 . Pretty darn nice looking!

. Yes Sir!

. Wow! Where was the launcher? Has to be somebody we know - maybe?

. Hmmm.... The military has large deep pockets and a bunch of teens and twenty-somethings. Steel Rope. Synthetic Rope. Wonder why the guys with more money than all of us put together picked steel? .

. You might need an APU. Sullenberger used his and saved the day on Flight 1549. Out of sequence, he started the APU early and because he didn't kill everybody on the plane - he was a hero - since he took personal initiative. Had he crashed and killed everyone, that would have been what...

. MY OPINION is that if you clean it really well - and if the rag you clean it with doesn't have pieces of metal (or maybe sparkles) on the rag - I wouldn't necessarily replace it.

. Agreed! The TM shows an exploded view (not a very good one) and that bearing is part of a bearing kit P/N 700013L. Glad you found loose spintle nuts jimmyjimwas ! That will (should) make the state inspectors happy too. Especially when you explain what you found...

. Yes Sir and the hard part is that I could give my helper a "ration of crap" and make him better. You try that at home and you get to Report to the Dog House. Do Not pass GO either!

. Recently I transferred all of my stuff to Farm Bureau. It took several phone calls and the first guy flat out said "no way". I called around and settled in with an agent that came by my place, took pictures and had me insured the next day. Short answer is just don't take no for an answer...

. I never will forget "JJ". He was one of my first helpers or apprentices and he had some pretty good skills but very little practical understanding WHY things worked like they did. Can't remember why, but we were working on a Ford 330 Industrial motor. Had to removed the distributor. I was...

. Back in the days of old, looking at the equipment in person was an option. Not so much any more... Trailer on a Trailer is a fairly regular thing for mounted generators. That eliminates trouble on the side of the road. Most locations have some pretty beefy forklifts. There are idiots, but...

. Sumpthin else you might try is a metric wrench. Shouldn't be metric, but tight fit - almost hammered onto the drain valve might work. Sometimes you can get a tighter fit with something like that... Sometimes a few "love taps" with a hammer while you are pulling on the wrench will help...

. Welcome to the Outfit! And, congratulations on your new-to-you truck too! Snap us a picture of the fitting just to be sure... Maybe a few of your truck too. We like pictures around here! Can't quite tell exactly where you are from your description (header block) for your account. There...

. Yeah. Plenty of easy things to hack that doesn't take near the effort. Especially since there are lots of numbnuts that have no password on their wireless routers or have the default cable or dsl routers...

. I keep looking to own one of those... Problem is that the ones that I have found were a lot more money than that!

. Yeah. Yeah! Yes Indeed! For Sure ! Different kind of grease, but slick all the same :cool:

. Sounds well thought out - and there really is something to be said for buy it, use it, scrap it and upgrade later if you want to. With you 100% on avoiding cuts into structural parts of the truck too! Happy fabrication! Keep us up to date with pictures too.

. Like some of the other guys have already suggested - you can bypass the dryer SHORT TERM just until the new parts arrive or to get you "out of a tight spot". Just make sure that you drain the air tanks daily or several times a day if you are standing there beside the truck Chances are that...
