  1. dad was fire inspector for town for 25 years, fire marshal for 15 years.. and fire chief for 4 years. besides being a cop, and mail man. i was fireman and cop for 8 years before my accident. i always go one gauge larger than needed. all my 15 amp circuits in the house are 12 gauge wire (25 amp rating) plus only 5 outlets per circuit where town says 8 per circuit. 25 amp circuits are 10 gauge. when the town electrical inspector came for write off on my rebuild of the house back in 95, he could not understand why i did what i did and was going to fail me... until dad walked in the house. then it clicked as to last name, and he said oh ok.
  2. those rumors have been floating around for about 5 years now, same as the Cat pickup. all total interwebs bull sheit.
  3. very good clip J.C. i did not know 3/4 of the stuff in it.
  4. my jump cord from the portable 10KW or welder is 6 gauge wire. or good for 60 amps max. but seeing i am only going through a 50 amp breaker, i am safe. and since the welder is also only 10,kw generator, i am also safe as they only produce 41-42 amps constant at 240 volts.
  5. if you are back feeding the power panel, you MUST turn off the main breaker before plugging in. otherwise you will also feed the main line. and when power comes back on, there is a very good chance your genset will explode at minimum. it could very well catch on fire too.
  6. not bad looking at all. and a very fair price.
  7. i had single turbo 12V71's in the terex scrapers. and they were animals. i cant imagine the power of a twin turbo!!
  8. get caught running in transit tags now in Jersey and it is a BIG fine unless you are empty and moving from one site to another. a few years ago there was a contractor running transit tags on his snow plow trucks. trooper saw them, stopped them, and impounded all the trucks for working with transit tags.
  9. in this video by Sam from Scrappy Industries (BMT user name Superliner92) looks at a beautiful Brockway. starts around 5:30 mark, and goes to around the 13:50 mark
  10. unfortunately, it is way too late for that.... but it is a good start.
  11. so true. i tried registering a 2014 F250 for 10,999 lbs. the idiot behind the desk asked me why so much. my answer was because the truck weighs 8,200 pounds EMPTY. same with the new F150. DMV idiots put it at 5,000 pounds. the truck weighs 5,500 pounds empty.
  12. nope, no city here. we are in our own little world that even the people on the other side of town do not even know exists. the closest city is perth amboy. about 5 miles north across the bay, or 10 by road.
  13. not to worry Paul, with the way we derail threads, we dont know what we are talking about either.
  14. about all i cam add is a quick google search showed there are a few electric motors for sale for $242.
  15. sorry, no. i have not been in a DM in a good 30 years.
  16. maybe if you live along the pa border. for me a trip to pa is AT LEAST 1 1/2 hour one way..
  17. very cool. is it a twin drive, or single drive with helper axle?
  18. hopefully all of them? if you remove everything the lib tards have, maybe....just maybe, they will realize THEY are the problem, nd not the rest of us.
  19. do you have any info on this Strike Technology retro fit kit? google search comes back with a big blank nothing.
  20. maybe they were discussing what to do with pedo joe and clan.
  21. we had the same issue on the 2005 T800 Kenworth with C-13 Cat. never had a leak. then within 3 months time had to replace every single damn hose on it. fix one, and a week later another started leaking. the only hoses not replaced were the trans cooler lines....and when the guy that bought it was waiting for me to get home from work to pick it up, one of them blew as i pulled the parking break for the last time.
  22. that is a pretty good unit. when you get it running, turn the fuel valve off and see if it shuts off, or stays running until the carb runs dry. if it does not stay running open the cover and unplug the kill switch hooked to the fuel shutoff. this way you can let it run and drain the carb after use before you put it away. ALWAYS put it away with a dry carb.
  23. agreed. it is unbelievable how many people ask me about those "as seen on TV" solar generators because i have 7 different size generators. i try to explain they are not generators. they are battery packs. and if it is "as seen on TV" it is about as useless as teets on a bull.
  24. not sure if it is the same as the "R" but i ran many DM's with electric wipers.
  25. if the gas in the tank is more than about 2 months old, it most likely will not start. i put a double dose of marine stabil, and a double dose of regular stabil in with 1 gallon of gas and i get about 6-8 months out of the gas.
