. Don't send that stuff down here! I am already whining about 17 here for the weekend...

. Holy Crap! That could be a really BAD day if you were standing in the wrong place.

. You may want to consider WHY you want it. I mean all of us here love big green (or tan or camo) trucks, but what do you want it to do for you? Is it to haul big stuff or maybe to drive through the wilderness? CTIS is a good thing - when it works. It needs attention and 20 to 30 year old...

. That is particularly neat! There is a big warehouse that has been rented several times for movie shoots next door to our place. Last few times they were here we helped the props department with several projects. Building Sets need blueprints and the stickers and boxes for filming assorted...

. Couple of things to consider: The truck makes a racket when it runs. All of them do... Bypass that with a gladhand attached to the front drivers side of the truck from "house air" if you have a compressor. Turns off the truck and lets you hear what is going on. Maybe it is a leak that you...

. Like Squibbly said, these crusty old Technical Manuals (TM's) are BORING and could drive you to drink, but knowing where to go for solid information will always be those books. They are the equivalent to a Chilton's Manuals in the civilian world. Hardest part is the naming nomenclature...

. Now all I need is the running truck - with or without bumpers - since you have a source for those :cool:

. So it would appear that "your clown" has an opinion... :) Good looking work is happening on that truck for sure! Spring Pack looks really nice. Should be quieter too.

. Careful there... Giving away your Auction Secrets will leave you bidding on nothing but the big tire fancy trucks. All the tired looking trucks will get gobbled up with the ASSuM(E)tion that they are gold at the next auction. :cool:

. And maybe a short summary of what really solved the problem when you post your next update tonight?

. Start soaking the cylinders and exhaust valves with marvel mystery oil. It may be too far gone, but a quart of that red stuff sometimes performs magic to bring a power plant back to life. You definitely have some of the good guys on the job with you! .

. What is amazing is the guys who know how to use a duckbill hammer make it look so easy. Those soldiers who needed remedial learning - not as much - and they worked much harder!

. Milwaukee is a really GOOD piece of equipment! I have a half inch that I use on most of the bolts on my 5-Tons. A lot of that and the ability to do stuff without breaking stuff is "'by ear". Over time, you learn that the hammering is "getting more serious" and something is going to give if...

. Either that or we might need to hire Sleepy Joe to run the VOTE BY MAIL voting program!

. It sure looks like a heck of a plan to me!

. Yes sir... Not a lot of people who know much about what most of us have for "toys". Some of my best days are a project that needs to get done and a Jolly Green Giant to help knock out that work!

. Nice to hear that kind of good report!

. I noticed that you have SUPERvisor dog inspecting your work :) Nothing quite like a pal like that working with you in the shop!

. And controlling the vacuum on more modern vehicles was done with a plastic "ball" shaped device under the hood in the late 70's and early 80's so there was a place to store extra vac. Didn't work as well as it could have because of the overheated engine bay with all the smog crap on vehicles...

. It appears to be a manual ground rod driver.
