      I've installed four MRCOOL unit's to date, including replacing the *entire central A/C system in my late mother's former home.* Best of all on that one, her old system used a 10kW resistance heater strip for heat. The replacement MRCOOL is able to heat down to -24°F, so no need for a resistance heater coil. My mom's electricity consumption was cut in half! MRCOOL systems rock!

      I was just thinking about this. It's small enough to get into a lot of places that bigger water haulers can't get to. either beef up or add stand alone air compressor system and electrical system to consider running a welding box or air tools, extra fuel storage maybe, then a big 'ol water tank and pump system. maybe a winch or two for recovery options. then you have a robust repair or fab support truck with a lot of water available as well, an all in one utility for offgrid neighbors or friends. power, water, tool support - it'd have it all!

    I am actually so jealous that you got your hands on a mk29 bed. You may want to reprogram your TCM to not jake brake as aggressivly on the highway by changing the target gear on the TCM to 5 rather than 2. Also adjusting your ctis pressures unloaded would be a good idea because of the new added empty weight. Good work. 505 hp tune will also wake the truck up ALOT.

    Just a suggestion - You should change out all of the wheels on your roll-around tool carts, welding machine cart, and plasma cutter, to all terrain tires so you don't have to continually lay down plywood in order to move things across gravel and rock. Would be beneficial when working remotely as well. Would make a fun video to watch!

      Depending on the weight of what he has in it you might not be able to find pneumatic tires for it unless they are WAY BIGGER! I think even the 10" tires only hold like 440 lbs. A tool box that size can easily weigh thousands of lbs!

    Now's the time to modify the LMTV bed with some brackets. you can keep the dump bed on it, it'll make it easier to load/unload things on it. Make some mounting brackets for a fire suppression tank, grass sprayer, welder/generator, etc. Turn it into a tool/emergency truck since it's so reliable. And since you don't need it to be a dump truck anymore, you can mount brackets all around the bed without having to clean it out all the time. It'll be perfect for taking supply trips also, and helping the neighbors out in the winter.

    PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, make sure that garage door is safe. Have a system in place that stops it from free falling if something snaps. I'm telling you right now, that door can kill someone if it's not done right.

      Id suggest making a ratcheting system of safety catches about every 6” going up. Then a manual release when coming down. Just like a car hoist has

      @@natsusaramanda9883 if you're referring to the short of Riley switching the cable for a thicker one, I've seen it and it's still not safe. It needs to have the ratcheting mechanism to stop it from free falling if it snaps again. It needs a failsafe and redundancy to ensure no one gets hurt. That's a HEAVY door. Someone can get seriously hurt.

    That is great converting the army semi truck into a dump truck but what you gonna do with that old Orange dump truck whatever is left of it did you pulled with the skid steer? Maybe chop off the front part and make it into a tow hitch so that the army dump truck to it as the secondary dump trailer you just need the back part with the wheels and the dump bed and just make a hitch tow hitch in front, welded to it and Airlines and hydraulic pump that’s controlled from the army dump truck.

    The paint on military vehicles, which is called CARC, is a carcinogen! You should not be grinding, cutting, sanding, etc. that stuff. It is nasty and requires a respirator and better yet a special paint remover.

    • @mattnickeson9049
      @mattnickeson9049 2 месяца назад +7

      Most of CARC’s dangers lie in the wet application process. Once dry it can be handled with proper respiratory precautions like you would any other dust born danger.

      Yup, I had a friend die from the chemicals in it.Took the V.A about five years to figure out what was wrong with him. By then it was too late. He was painting in a new spray booth in a brand new support maintenance shop which was made out of concrete blocks. When they built the shop they didn't seal the blocks and the carc went into the cement and slowly came back out when he wasn't wearing a respirator.He finally absorbed enough of the chemicals to kill him.

    Be very careful dumping on slopes, especially while moving. That's not a huge bed, but dump trucks can be quite unpredictable with the center of gravity raised. The load can stick or slide out unevenly making it even more squirrely.

    Great video,it was nice to see you also had a chain hooked up to the dump body and the escalator bucket for extra safety measures. I wouldn't put my trust and life on the line with just the two metal supports you had holding up that 5 ton truck bed. Good call ,stay safe.
