My only regret is I don't have more to give. Also that I missed out on the piston rewards...in for whatever fun scrap you feel like sending my way, I'll cover additional postage. Depending on timing I can probably send at least one gopro which should be attached to Mr 14"s head to capture all ramblings and work.

ExplodingSims posted:It's really not that bad. It'd be bearable if the weatherstripping wasn't so worn out it let wind in everywhere Depending on how ghetto you want to go pipe insulation and duct tape work great. We had to do this after we got t-boned in Montana and had to drive back to Wisconsin in early January.

 That's equal parts amazing and terrifying. Can we add a tyvek suit or something to the next shipment so he doesn't get cancer in the next week?

kastein posted:I would recommend some sort of a rear brake circuit shutoff, so at least when it fails you can panic, flip the shutoff, and brake with the front wheels? (Or is there any chance a dual circuit master out of the van bolts to the truck, given GM's laziness?) If it's a question of mostly useless (or going to fail) rear brakes or no rear brakes I'd stick a bolt in the master cylinder outlet going to the rear. Did that on a friends truck to get it home. Not ideal but better than no brakes at all or pissing fluid every time you hit the pedal.

Larrymer posted:I'd personally just do the easy button LS swap. It'll be cheapest, easiest, reliable, and have plenty of power. Other things would be cool(er) potentially but it would be nice for this truck to not live in a field or shed for the next 20 years. Kind of what I've been thinking with all the engine talk. Sure there are cooler, more powerful or whatever swaps but LS is cheap/easy/documented?/powerful/reliable. With all the aftermarket support and people putting them in everything I'd go that route. I know if I had a big truck I was putting a engine it would be an LS. Start with a junk yard engine then build it up as needs change or funds become available. Don't know how garbage the fuel economy (if that matters at all) would be moving something this big around. NitroSpazzz fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Jan 12, 2017 |

DICK DICER posted:Note to self it will absolutely be possible to lock myself out of the trailer Does sound like the distribution block cracked/failed. If you can manually pull the cables and lock them in place it may work temporarily but it'll be very hard to pull those without a hydraulic assist of some kind. Maybe you could hook them on something then leverage them. Also check the tracks the thing slides up, if one corner is lifting first it'll bind up the rest of the mechanism. Worst case use the jack and pole method in each corner then find some boards to stick in each corner.

cursedshitbox posted:what is the ballpark weight for this truck and will it fit on a uhaul trailer? From way earlier in the thread: Leperflesh posted:I assumed the truck weighs close to 10k pounds, and certainly if your estimate of 9k pounds is correct, then the max of 10k is going to be very hard to stay under with any kind of reasonable trailer.

From a couple replies earlier and this picture I'm assuming we don't need to worry about buying him another stove just for the ability to charge a phone. DICK DICER posted:Weather permitting. Yeah I'd work in the wet in Seattle but it's a lot loving harder out here staying warm after getting wet

Customer installed something similar to these Liebert units to support one of our systems. Doors are covered in scary high voltage warnings but otherwise they look like just another large cabinet. ExplodingSims posted:Also, for what it's worth, once you get up to a certain size of unit, you pretty much stop using return ducts, and just have a common return, or a filter room.
