Nice looking jeep! I have driven M38A1s with the stock Carter carburetor and with a Solex. In my experience, there is not much difference in performance. Since it lacks a conventional choke, the Solex equipped jeep is much harder to get started if the vehicle has been sitting more than a few...

I think the mystery part is a turbo encabulator! "Turbo Encabulator" the Original - YouTube

That's a long trip! Does your HMMWV have the standard 6.2 and turbo 400? What's your average speed? Good luck!

FYI, Gama Goat wheel bearings are the same for all the wheels. I ordered mine from Bearings and Drives. My local store's phone number is 770-792-2922. They did not have them in stock, but they had them shipped directly to me in a couple days. The part number on my sales receipt is...

Thanks to those that offered to be available to help if needed. I made it home without any issues. I drove from Western Arkansas to North Georgia, about 635 miles, in approximately 14 hours including stops for food and fuel. More details, pictures, and maybe even a video or two will follow in...

I think I'm about ready to drive our M816 wrecker home to Georgia! I'm looking at sometime next week, the 12th through the 16th of December, 2011. The trip is approximately 635 miles. I plan to make the drive in one day, and I anticipate it taking 16 to 18 hours if everything goes as planned...

Will Wagner is no doubt THE Cummins guru! He has been very generous with his knowledge and taken several calls from me with questions while working on the engine in my M816 wrecker. He is polite, professional, and does an excellent job at explaining things over the phone. What really amazed me...

Many thanks to Will Wagner! My fuel problems with this truck have been solved! I started off by changing the fuel filter, all of the fuel hoses, checking and lubing the throttle linkage and hand throttles, checking for a restricted fuel return line, and checking for leaking fuel at the fuel...

The offset is different.

No doubt that a goat is faster than people think they would be. I made this video on the way home from the Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally a few weeks ago... Gama Goat Cruising at 60 MPH - YouTube This one too... M561 Gama Goat 0 - 60 MPH - YouTube I hit a slight uphill grade on the last one and...

Joe C, If you can reach the listed maximum permissible road speeds in lower gears, then you know it isn't the governor holding you back. Sounds like you have already changed your fuel filters so you know that isn't the issue. Does it start easy and have immediate...

Hi Joe, While driving your gama goat, if you run it wide open until it hits the governor, how fast does it go in first, second, and third gears? (high range, two wheel drive, of course) Joe

I made these videos on the way home from the rally. I had a few people that didn't believe I run the goat at 60MPH... http://youtu.be/p1CtSR5_gFI http://youtu.be/qj_xMHsyl3c Can't wait until next year! Joe

Here's one for Clint! Taken on the way home from the GA Rally.

It doesn't have to. Only the early M52s that were fitted with the Flux Capacitor had to reach 88 MPH. The truck in question is an M52A2. As I'm sure you're well aware, all A2s were equipped with the Rockwell Turbo Encabulator which activates at 2,600 RPM in 5th gear. If yours doesn't work, it...

Hey CARNAC, Do you have a second complete set of 101 fiberglass side boards? If so, I'd like two complete sets. Also, did you happen to run across any cargo covers for the 3/4 ton trailers?

Hi Justin, It's been a while since I've looked at one of those tensioners (on a m548, I assume it's the same), but how far is yours extended? Is it possible that the "weep hole" limits the travel of the piston inside the bore and that your tensioner is maxed out? Just a thought... Neat toy! Joe

I plan to be there Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. See you then. Joe

I'll be bringing a nice aluminum boarding ladder to sell (SOLD to Sirblissful!), a good take off M35 steering wheel ($60), and some of my M16A1 replicas built with real stocks, handguards, and pistol grips on demilled barrels and solid aluminum receivers ($225 each). I also...

Hey CARNAC, I want a full set of 101 fiberglass sideboards. Would you happen to have a green or 383 camo vinyl cover for a 101? Thanks, Joe
