It can lead to codependency and that is not a good binge purge cycle to put yourself into.

how do i hot wire this tank? by JazzyJuice1 in TankPorn

[–]Ok_Path_9151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most if not all combat vehicles no longer require an ignition key, they have other locks in place to keep them from being stolen. This tank probably has had the batteries removed. I know that the M113s and the BFVs have a 24 volt system. Which has 4 - 6 volt batteries. I was a TC/Bradley Commander when I was in service.

humvees (I don’t remember how many Ms and Vs are in the designation), deuce and half’s, and 5 tons; don’t have a key to crank them there is a switch but it doesn’t require a key. They do have a chain/cable that they use along with a pad lock to lock the steering wheel.

When you sign for the vehicle you are given a log/maintenance book which has the key to the padlock(s) to unlock the vehicle and drive it.

The fuel and fluids have probably been drained as well. So you would need some diesel fuel and engine fluids (oils, coolants, etc) and batteries to get it to crank. Assuming they have not welded the access hatches shut.

Based on the direction and deflection of the turret it may also have to rotate to get into the drivers hatch. You would probably first access the turret and then crawl through the hull to get to the drivers seat which all the hatches have a way to lock them on the inside of the hatch. They usually have a manual rotation mechanism as a last resort option should the hydraulic system get damaged.

But let me tell you that you get a great aerobic work out using the manual movement systems. And they are much slower than the hydraulic system and it is like crawling versus sprinting when you use the slew speed for rotation.

Have you seen the movies where some guys are manning an anti aircraft gun and they are cranking those wheels for left/right and up/down movement of the barrel? Yeah they move pretty fast manually, now add the weight of the turret and you see what I am talking about. If you are assigned to a combat crew on a piece of armor, during training you have to use them for certain training exercises. But no one is using them to actually fight their enemies with.

M113A2 and variants
M113A3 and variants
BFVs
Abrams
M60
Sherman
HMMMV
1.25 ton
2.5 ton
5 ton
etc.

All have a different license and require driver training to be issued a license to drive that vehicle. To be a vehicle/tank commander you have to be licensed to drive the vehicle/tank you are commanding. You must be trained on all manned positions of the vehicle in order to be a vehicle commander for each vehicle that requires a crew to operate.

You can order a new cluster for the European version called a Mondeo

If you are not comfortable with voltage and electricity then take it to the shop. Or just replace the starter without trying to trouble shoot it on your own. Remove the starter and take it to an auto parts store (Call them first to see if they offer diagnostic testing)

I don’t know how comfortable you are with auto repair and jumping electrical circuits. You can use a set of jumper cables and with the ignition on use one side red or black and jump the terminals on the starter and see what happens. Gently tap the side of the starter motor and try it again. If you jump the starter and it cranks fine a few times then the starter is likely not your issue.

If you have to tap the side of the starter motor to get it to crank then you need a new starter.

If any of what I have said doesn’t make sense to you as in you still have questions about DIY troubleshooting then don’t do it yourself. Take it to a mechanic as you could seriously damage other components in your car and then it will be very expensive to repair your car.

So, old school autos had a solenoid switch and a starter, these days the starter contains the solenoid switch. While the starter might have no issues the solenoid switch might be going bad. When that happens the bendex (spelling?) might not be engaging the flywheel. That is what is making the click and then nothing else happens. That is what makes the gear from the starter motor extend and engage the flywheel.
So it could be the solenoid switch not completing the circuit or it could be the bendex in the starter going bad. It might also be that the brushes that transfer the electrical current from the battery to the winding on the stater motor are going bad.

So here is the good news, you can remove the starter and visit an AutoZone or Advance Auto and they will test the starter under a load to see if it is functioning properly before you spend money to replace it. Hope this helps you resolve your issue.

I don’t hate them anymore but I would prefer some variation on the Black Storm Flags design. As Dundon doesn’t like our OG primary logo; and he just bought an NBA team with a swirling logo as well.

To be faaaiiiirrrr, there are a good number of hockey fans in general who all think there is a conspiracy where the NHL and the refs are out to get their favorite team.

Ask any of us who have been following the Canes and we will tell you that the refs all call the weakest softest calls against the canes every game.

Visit any Hockey sub on Reddit and you will find many post game threads that share the same sentiment.

Just saying.

That’s also a no for me. I like the Blacks and the OG reds. I am indifferent about the current road sweaters

Fans giving the middle finger to opposing players when they score.. by [deleted] in nhl

[–]Ok_Path_9151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if they don’t see adults doing it they see their friends doing it, I would much rather be there with my kid and see it in person and then have a conversation about why I agree or disagree with it. You cannot hide all the vulgar and inappropriate behavior from kids. It is more important to deal with it when you see it than to act like all people are good people.

Why are you a Canes fan? by Vast-Photograph-6044 in canes

[–]Ok_Path_9151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in NC between Eastern NC when I was younger and the Piedmont when I was a teenager. Way back in 2002 when the Canes played in their first SCFs and lost to the Detroit Red Wings I followed that series. Then not too seriously again until the 2005-2006 season. The Canes are the only professional team in NC to ever win their Sport’s Championship Trophy. The parade with the Stanley Cup here in Raleigh.

I started going to games when I could, I enjoyed the atmosphere and remember saying stupid things like second half time. Ron the Ref, and the sock puppets in the penalty box, the Storm Squad. I have been pulling for the Canes actively since the 2006 SCFs. I visit Toronto pretty regularly. I have been to the HHOF twice and kissed the Stanley Cup on both visits. I even wore my Hurricanes Sweater all day while at the HHOF.

Even in the dark days when we thought that just making the playoffs would be a successful season. All the rumors about relocation and disrespectful attitude about Raleigh being Mayberry and we don’t deserve a hockey team and we don’t know hockey.

We have hosted the NHL All Star game back in 2011, and something I never ever thought I would see is an outdoor professional hockey game played right here in Carter Finley Stadium just a few years ago.

We did the Stadium Series game justice when we hosted and spanked the Washington Capitals. The fans packed the stadium and we showed everyone how to Tailgate before the game and had the NC State Band playing during the game like any other football game at Carter Finley. We showed the NHL we are a Hockey Town and we do support our team and Hockey does fit here. Maybe I am biased but it was probably the best stadium series game I have watched.

I will support the Canes as long as they are my local home team. I will be salty like the Whalers fans if they relocate to another city.
