No, the gasket goes on the housing....when I get a thermostat the new gasket comes in the box. I'd get one before I started. Or, get some aviation form-a-gasket and hope for the best..... Or if you have a sheet of gasket material, they're simple enough to cut your own. The only time I reuse...

Tstat has a gasket, a replacement should come with the tstat. I also put permatex gasket seal on mine, when I have to change them. I don't have a rear heater core (just front in my Yukon, which is similar enough) but there should be two sets of smallish (25mm) diameter heater hoses running...

In the Mr. Fusion?

LOL....like the alternator will power all that....or there won't be intermod from everything including the overhead lamp :)

I got one (CUCV M1009 Blazer) from the Nellis DRMO in around 95 or so. It's amazing the ostensibly classified (code-word) stuff I found in little nooks and crannies (all of which was burned). The one I got was in great shape....except for the transmission, which had a gas engine vac modulator...

My Ford Superduty with the 6.4 Diesel has an option (Stationary Engine Idle Control) to speed up the idle speed while sitting around.....in park. Part of the logic requires the engine to be in park (neutral won't do it). It's originally designed to allow higher engine speeds for ambulances (to...

Thanks for the info -- 2 more reasons to buy a Ford.

Well, nobody else is going to do legitimate, well-structured, double-blinded research on herbals, since there's no money in it.

Good idea. What scientific data is there about ginseng? http://nccam.nih.gov/health/asianginseng/

There is no RDA for ginseng....

Different people need different amounts of sleep. I do fine on 4.5 or 5 hours, my wife does better on 9. Some need more, or even less. 8 is just an average, not a requirement.

if you're on a solid level surface, tall bottle jack. Otherwise, Hi-lift.

For plates, the unbreakable Corelle stuff. Available at Wal Mart, Amazon, and such http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_4_3?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=corelle&sprefix=cor Or, Melmac from thrift stores. If it's stained, cleaning with boiling water and dishwasher detergent (Cascade)...

I carry 35mm film cans, with vaseline soaked cotton balls stuffed in. Pull out a piece of cotton about the size of a dime, pull it out to quarter size, and light it with anything - matches, flint and steel, sparks off a broken lighter, whatever. They work great! Of course, a road flare will...

Small solar panels = low charge rates...and batteries are happiest when charged at the right rate, your Liberty isn't big enough for a big enough solar panel even when it's directed right at the light. You can run charge cables from a battery isolator to the deep cycle, or if your loads are...

OK, thanks for the explanation...

Is that relay different at all from a generic starting relay?

I have Steiners with the attached lens cap, they ride in a center hump organizer from CaseLogic I got at Walmart. Along with a 8-cell dive lantern and my mechanics gloves...

Nice, also available for free download from lots of places. The one I'm putting in the bags is this: http://bookstore.gpo.gov/actions/GetPublication.do?stocknumber=008-070-00810-6

Well, if you ever get some pictures of IDF medics with their bags, I'd love to see them.... And if you know of a website discusses training, equipment, etc for the IDF medical services (besides the official one) I'd appreciate a link. Field medicine is both an occupation, and a hobby for me. I...
