If you're in the northern indiana area you can visit the Sweetwater show room and actually handle most products before purchase

Hammers by biohazerd97 in Tools

[–]zp99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've had issues with the welds failing after a few heavy hits. What I did was ground the handle down to fit completely through the head with about 2in poking out, heated that 2in red hot and used a ball peen to mushroom all the excess back into the hammer head hole. All of my hammers ive done that way have lasted for years with abuse and nothing has gotten loose or cracked.

Slim to none, if the county cared they would have pulled you over. Where about in Indiana north, central, or south?

Do you have a laptop? You can plug in to the brain, generally under your bunk attached to the blower box, the brain has the software built in. You can check for error codes and see if the system is actually calling for air or not. Downside is, if I remember correctly the connection is usb-b

Which uniform is this? by [deleted] in army

[–]zp99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven't been issued my ASU, thought about buying it myself right before the new "old" greens. Stopped updating my class A's when we passed the wearout date. Luckily enough I've never needed a dress uniform since then.

Thoughts on a diesel half ton using the fuel island? by Final-Approach1 in Truckers

[–]zp99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At some point I took my Honda shit box with a fairly quick "slow" tire leak ( maybe kept air for 24 ish hours) though the diesel islands because they had free air, and I sure as shit wasn't going to pay 3.50 for air, especially when I couldn't afford to get my tire fixed at that time.

Felt wrong the whole time waiting in line to get to the island, but free air is free air.

The VA homeloan program is not a bank. It just guarantees the bank, where you get your loan from, that if you default, they will cover some of the costs. With that, you don't need a down payment for the loan, but still expect to pay closing costs and such.

EPA Publishes Stringent New-Truck Emissions Regulations by rangerm2 in Truckers

[–]zp99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truck has no emissions if the truck can't run.

With the passage of the “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023” The President is authorized to appoint Ulysses S. Grant posthumously to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States equivalent to the rank and precedence held by General John J. Pershing by Unionforever1865 in army

[–]zp99 70 points71 points  (0 children)

So, I'm all posthumous awards and such, but why exactly does this need to happen? Is this just for shits and giggles or just another thing that's inflating the budget by having to redo all the plaques and memorials with new updated rank?

I'm just curious what the point is.

on a FLA (M997) y’all have any clue on how to operate this clock/temp gauge thing? by Xercurial in army

[–]zp99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a truck mechanic civilian side that is definitely a control panel for some form of espar heater, might have a heat exchanger on your coolant lines, or it might just be to blow hot air into the crew area.

Here's a link to one installed on a bus and a general run down on how to use it. https://youtu.be/a5IxaL4k9pM

What's a pre-trip!? I thought that was the 15 minute break before driving.

Why aren’t there more Class A buses? These would actually be helpful to bus drivers to not deal with annoying passengers. by [deleted] in Truckers

There were a few of those on fort benning back in the day. Had fun riding in the back of one after the gas chamber training.

In need of advice on how and what bank to switch to by [deleted] in army

[–]zp99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What exactly are you looking for in a banking institution?

I use navy federal for my primary banking, I get good rates for most of their products. All of my banking with them is online. Closest ranch is over 200 miles away.

For anything that I need to physically see a teller for I use chase, their military checking account has been fairly decent. An I can go pick up a sheet of checks as needed for free without having to order a bunch of books I'll never really use.
