    DRASH (GETT) Modification Discussion

    Question 1) I'm not familiar with that PD box, but there's a 60amp box that takes 208v 3phase in, and spits out 120v single phase from multiple receptacles. As well as a pass through for 208v 3phase. Question 2) - I don't know enough about house wiring to have a definitive answer. But if 240v...

    DRASH (GETT) Modification Discussion

    The generator head can be rewired single phase. But I wouldn't. Load balancing the three 120v legs should be fairly easy. Your household 240v single phase equipment should be happy with 208v single phase that you get using any two of the 3phase legs. If you read the labels they usually list a...

    Thoughts on an FMTV bumper on a CUCV?

    I cut down an MRAP bumper and put on one. Instead of altering the truck, i suggest all alterations be made to the bumper and that it only require bolts to attach to the truck....

    Proper trailer for 802A

    Empty M105A2 weighs 2750lbs. Remove the bed and you're dropping 900lbs or so. The 802 weighs 800lbs. This yields a 2600lb total. You have the whole airbrake thing etc, but if the tow vehicle is a lifted one ton for instance it'd be do-able. If you're only occasionally transport it it'd be...

    Have a new car trailer that my HMMWV will pull from time to time

    What engine and transmission do you have?

    Proper trailer for 802A

    Why reinvent the wheel? The military mounts these on M1101 chassis and M116A3 chassis. Probably a little more $ for a lot more trailer. If you're cheap, and have enough truck to pull it, consider an m105 chassis....

    Scrap yard woes (**RANT**) - what's your advice?

    Winches for example... worth $1500 retail. I'd happily give $500 each and sit on them while finding buyers. The scrapper wants the $1500 for them or he'd rather cut them up for the $85 scrap metal price than take my $500.... It's kind of an odd mindset. "I'm in the scrap metal business, not the...

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Some random thoughts - LEO had minimal interest in me. I had one follow me onto I29 from the airport in KC. He stayed behind me about 4 exits and then went away. Comparing oranges and grapefruit - the HMMWV holds speed on hills better than a 5ton, but a 5ton has a higher top speed. The 5ton...

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Exactly that. The roofers staying in the room below me saw the cans and commented on them. And thus a sale was had... I ordered wings from pizza hut...

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    This was my impression as well. This is the first time it's been thoroughly heat soaked for an extended period. Thanks for your input.

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Was full this morning. I didn't open it hot. Temp Guage and fan working like they should. It was just spitting small amounts of coolant, and only after idling hot for 10min or so.

    Today's drive was completely uneventful. And it no longer pukes coolant at hot idle. Sold some more cans. Time to order pizza....

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    The truck and it's contents were still here this morning. Pretrip inspection shows no anomalies - full of transmission fluid, coolant, and oil. With no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil. One thing it is doing - it pukes coolant at hot idle. Temp doesn't go high, but when I stop for...
