Ok guys....let me check and make sure, that doing a thread here is ok with the customer..... :) Soni

Well, the "Hot Tub Module" or HTM is still a go, if you don't mind the 'Enclosed Version'.....it holds 600 gallons (half full), is made of stainless steel, has great privacy and it can bee heated to your preference, by means of an electric submersion heater! lol On the Gun truck module; not so...

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I have not had a chance to try it of course, but theoretically the crane should be able to lift the FSM (Fire Suppression Module) with a full contingent of water in it. The empty FSM weights 3200 # and 1200 gallons of water weigh in at 9960# for a...

Fire Suppression Module Sorry for the 'slump' in the FEMTT thread but I had several other jobs that I had to focus on. :( Anyway, we are having a very dry Spring here in Chama and I figured that it would probably be a smart idea to finish the 'FIRE SUPRESSION MODULE' for the FEMTT. It...

Yes, I got them figured out. I will look at my files and see if I can post them here. Soni

Awe....so that's why the Marine Corps mounted them upside down on the LVS....right gimp? :D Btw: I have to agree....Truck Lite is the way to go! Soni

Funny You say that.....I was going to tackle the HET mirrors next! I actually have hit a traffic sign in Santa Fe with my right mirror! The lanes there on St. Francis Drive are very narrow and the sign post is right at the edge of the road. It slammed the mirror in to my side window but luckily...

That is some really nice electrical work in your cab and dash Hank! Your truck looks awesome, thanks for sharing!!! Soni

Operation "DUMBO EARS"...... :) So after having had a chance to 'work' the FEMTT on the mountains for some months, my biggest complaint was that the rear view mirrors were hitting everywhere on the trails. I was annoyed by the fact, that whenever the passenger side mirror got pushed in by a...

What you described about the rpm coming down really slow after revving it up, is a very typical tell-tale for air in the fuel! I would definitely look for an air leak. Pressurizing the tank as suggested is a good way to try to find it. As was pointed out, make sure the tank vent line is free of...

Drew, on a naturally aspirated diesel engine it is ok to run it back in to the intake. On a turbo charged diesel engine it is a no no! It creates a very real danger for a runaway. The problem is not when all is well, as you pointed out, it will not get enough oil to matter. If you have a piston...

Thanks again everybody for all the very flattering compliments! You guys sure have a way to make a fellow MVer feel better, when things are not quite going the way he would like them to be going...... Thank you all a bunch! Oh, and I will see if I can round up any pics of some my past...

Awesome! Congrats on the win Drew, you sure deserve it! See all I had to do, was to quit voting for your SEMTT and YOU win! Lol :popcorn: Soni

The ones I'm talking about are second or third generation! I will look up the part number of the civi ones that I used tomorrow and get back with you. They are for the JK Jeeps and I know those are Omni-voltage for sure. Soni

Sounds good thanks! NAPA said that they can get all the military Trucklite stuff, but it is all special order from the factory! Probably more expensive as well. They hade the civi ones in stock for around $450 a pair. Got the ones on Ebay for $237 for two! Also, it was easy to just cut the...

I got them off of Ebay....NAPA is also selling them, but you have to put the military plugs on yourself. Soni

Looks awesome Matt! What a difference paint can make......It does not even look like the same trailer you picked up here! Nice job on the paint....is the camo pattern in accordance with the TM I assume? Soni

Actually the 1.8 mpg is fully loaded, towing an M1A1 on the M1000 trailer. I have put over 8000 miles on my HETs and can safely say, that the M1070 does get a steady 4.0 to 4.2 mpg, running just the tractor empty..... even "screaming" along at 47 mph! [thumbzup] Just for what it's...

Looks great Matt! Thanks for posting the pics. Are you going to have it all painted up by the Arizona Show in January? Soni

Yes I agree with you. Proper fifth wheel weight is crucial for the M1070 getting traction! Looking at the side view of your rig, it seems that with the boats propulsion systems putting a lot of weight aft and compounded by the forward location of the trailer axles, you must have very little...
