And for god sake read the tm - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

CARNAC · 03-17-2009, 00:03

We have A LOT of new people on Steel Soldiers and there are quite a few that have never owned a military vehicle much less driven vehicles the size of a deuce.

FOR GOD SAKE DOWNLOAD AND READ THE TM before you kill yourself or run over a minivan full of kids. Some of the questions that get asked just lead me to believe some people don't have a clue.

Good example, how many people that own a deuce know they are to drain the air tanks daily and how many more know where to find the air tanks.

So Please get the TM's downloaded and read them.

I think I've voiced my concern sufficiently.

I agree.

Talking about draining air tanks, There was a post awhile back (believe it was on the old site) where someone asked if they had to go out and drain their tanks every day if the truck was just sitting there not in use.

I've seen post where someone already owns a deuce and ask "what is a TM" also.

An air tank is the empty space between ones ears if he/she doesn't have enough sense to learn how the vehicles he has work and how to safely operate them.

I do like the handy "cruise control" knob on the dash. And how do I us the AC??

But Seriously, These vehicles take a lot of TLC and if you don't have time to educate yourself, then stay out from behind the wheel.

Ditto I'm pretty sure that "Ghost Ridin the Deuce" is not in the TM

Yah, I think that Ghost Riding the Deuce bit was just too much. Makes us look like a bunch of hillbillies w/crud like that. Definately doesn't protray us MV owner's as responsible. In fact I think the moderators should delete that thread so it doesn't get into the hands of another kid who wants to out due that immature skit

I agree, that was dumb on their part. I've been a trucking veteran for 17 years and the first thing we were taught was to RESPECT the truck and don't do anything stupid because that truck weighs a lot, it's not a sports car, and you can kill yourself or others by negligence. These guys need to respect the truck they have, what if they slipped and fell? Not a pretty picture. The mods should remove that post because it's not in good taste.

mods should just remove it because it promotes unsafe vehicle opperations, negligence,stupidity.... Maybe they should just move it to the" safety forum" on what not to do.... well just my oppinion.... they do have freedom of speech I guess...

This is why the first half of all new car manuals are instructions on how to drive. We have become a nation of "its somebody else's fault for my stupidity"

Come on guys, this thread is about TM's not talking about other threads.

Altough the reverse lights thing is funny!
