I was part of a recovery yesterday and I was the one who was recovered. I was about 95 miles from home in western Maryland when a brake line blew out on my truck on one of the mountians. I was in the middle of no-where. I made a call to a member who lived about 70 miles away. He dropped what...

I just arranged to pick up an Humvee A/C unit from a member who posted in the classifieds.These are the bolt in units that cool the HUMVEE in the Iraqi 125 degree heat. They ought to work wonders on a truck cab. Has another out there installed one of these units in a deuce or 5 ton. My son...
