I love my dmax but man, the simplicity of a 12v
so why does your fan look like its missing 2 blades?
Am I still fired?I love my dmax but man, the simplicity of a 12v

You forget, in all that spook psyops training, I was schooled in anti-NCO techniques...I'm on to ya!Not going for it Natter...Edit: Just went back through the pics,Darned if the Sergeant isn't right, the fan does look like it is missing a couple bladesIt isn't of course, just an optical conclusion!But I may want to remove a couple blades to reduce the truck's weight to compensate for the upcoming 18K winch!Should about balance out.You see its physicsSpinnin things operate under new and exciting rules! One sez:The mass multiplies when weight times the axial beverence quotation is appliedLike in helichoppers. Law sez: Things that get to spinnin' get real heavy real fast. Then need to be, cause it seems that this spindly lookin' stick of aluminum, when applied to a pine tree will grenade the pine tree, and get you standin' at attention for about thirty minutes in front of your commander's deskSo ya, that fan can easily outweigh an eighteen K winch!A little Aerodynamics lesson right there...
In some cases the blades on fans like this are not equally spaced. Doing this can help reduce the noise that a fan blade will make. The unequal spacing can disrupt the air movement and breaks up the frequency of the fan blade without having a large reduction in the volume of air being moved.

Most likely because mechanical engineers in their own mind design things that are fail proof. Granted they never met Don.......
Say Bobby, Nate, and Tate...You three monitor this mischief maker. Keep him in line or you three know what's next for you!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Don, once you get that manifold off let’s talk before you spend money on another. Usually several different ways to get a bolt out without a machine shop. Also stainless can be drilled FYI, it needs to be drilled slow with lubricant & take your time. A carbide drill bit is even better if you have a way to center drill the bolt slightly first & have a way to hold the piece being drilled. Carbide bits will not take side loading and they will snap easily.

Lest I get fired....again. I think I’ll refrain from a repeat comment made earlier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
