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...
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...
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....
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...
Why reinvent the wheel?
The military mounts these on M1101 chassis and M116A3 chassis. Probably a little more $ for a lot more trailer.

It's kind of an odd mindset. "I'm in the scrap metal business, not the...
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...
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...
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.
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...
