PM sent with some recommendations.

This bill is a defacto ban.

FMVSS requirements at the time of manufacture, or FMVSS requirements at the time of titling? (HUGE difference. Yud have a shot at bringing one into compliance with mid 80''s requirements, but current requirements would cost tens of thousands to retrofit...) Edit to add - mil standard...

I'm with you on the short wheelbase tractor into a more nimble cargo truck, but why lose an axle? :)

Varies by state. You'll need someone local. More than that,it varies by who you get behind the DMV counter....

Strikes me as unethical.

Trading portable fossil fuel ICE for stationary fossil fuel, or fissile fuel, or subsidized fuel. At least until fusion becomes viable. Fusion has been only 20 years away for about 50 years now... ( I don't disagree with you )

I have a rattlecan.... we can fix that... do you know where he parks it?

Exactly that. I had forgotten all about starting this thread. Thanks for the resurrection.

So many fun opportunities you guys are missing. Some idiot pisses you off in traffic just skip two gears and mash it. Now his cab is full of black and he cant see. Post #24 is step by step the only safe and effective way to do this in a Humvee. . How will that guy react when you ask for his...

Common rail allows far more precise fueling. 380hp and 850lbs of torque out of 6.7 liters WITHOUT the idiocy of black smoke, at near factory settings. Turn it up just a bit, and 500hp/1000lbs is within reach, again WITHOUT a cloud of smoke to piss off the bystanders... Clean power is the...

Beware of vibration...

I speculate that GL got outbid on the truck contract because someone knew that the hmmwvs would be able to be sold as trucks and not as scrap. (Sheer speculation on my part and labeled as such). Wil, as I'm sure you know better than I do, "winning" a bid is only winning so long as there's...

All I've ever seen on CUCV's, deuces, or 5tons is the cotter pin variety.

Here's a link to the mentioned VA law - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?176588-Bad-Bill-for-Title-Military-Surplus-Off-Road-Moves-to-Virginia-Senate And since you mentioned wanting to buy a truck I sent you a PM with a shameless plug of my truck for sale.

I went digging and found this - "tes90: While I like POR for car frames (and, by the way, you can buy it direct from por15.com), I'd be hesitant to use it on a heated part. When heated, it emits a huge cloud of incredibly smelly, probably toxic smoke, and continues to emit it until all the POR...

It's an exhaust manifold. Even in your tropical climate it should take more than your lifetime for it to rust through. I've used other phosphoric acid rust killers on other components. If you proceed, care should be taken so that it doesn't get on green CARC, otherwise it turns a sickly faded...

Diesels equipped with DPF do exactly that in order to regen the particulate filter. Temperatures inside the exhaust system of 1400* and above are frequently seen. I can think of a lot of bad things this would do for components not designed for it. (In fact, the list of badness for those...
