Making the run on Saturday. Thanks to the guys who PM'd me, I'll post some pictures and progress notes along the way.

Bueller? Anyone?

Hey guys, I am moving mah Deuce this weekend from Maryland to NJ. I'm going to be attending the monthly breakfast meet up prior to the trip. It's about a 45 min drive to there for me, I figure that will be a good warmup test to see if she is running OK. From there I'm going to try the trip...

Will be there with Deuce and girlfriend :)

hmm, I'll have to put one on then! Thanks guys.

UPDATE: Pulled the thermostat, replaced it and topped off the coolant. Took her for a 20 minute drive on the highway and it's good to go fat lady sings So far no major oil leaking either. I am going to try running her around on short local runs before I declare it a complete victory, but so...

I'm going to start with the thermostat and then work my way to the water pump. It's turning, but that doesn't mean it's pumping. Should have a chance to check it out tomorrow, will post an update.

Took a little video for you guys: She is still overheating and spraying oil everywhere. I'm going to wash down the engine with a power washer to get it somewhat clean again and try to figure out where the source is. There is a lot of oil coming around the air compressor in the front...

Commander5993, that's not a bad idea. What are the down sides to not having the thermostat in? I know people do that in warmer climates, but it's pretty darn cold here in the winter! If I let the thing idle or drive it lightly, I don't have temp issues. Only when I drove it on the highway...

Here's a pic after I made it back to the city. Parked her on the street. No one will mess with her, right? Haha

Thanks Everyone. I'm going to go with stuck thermostat. The radiator is cool, and the bottom hose back to the oil pan is cool too while the block in baking the engine. I'm going to get a new one and see how it works. They are like $25, easy enough to try. --- I am here...

So I got the title and tags today after the SF97 came! So excited I was, I figured why not drive it to Baltimore from Fort Meade? It's only 10pm and raining, what could go wrong? Haha Well after overheating, I pulled over to let it cool. Discovered I had too Much oil, drained a bit out. Thought...

I'm actually stationed at Fort Meade, and am moving my Deuce to my parent's house in NJ once I get the SF97. They are in Sussex County. Does that help? PM me if so. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=24.695247,-81.347788

Got tired of waiting for the SF97 so I decided to try registering without it, seeing as some of you have had luck with just the bill of sale. That was a huge no-go in the state of MD. Tried the MVA and a local "Tag and Title" place, and they both said they can't do it without the SF97, or...

I was recently out there about two weeks ago with my friend Paul. Met with John directly, he is a heck of a nice guy. So was his father who happened to be there as well! The big guy was full of knowledge too. Forget his name... Anyway, here are two videos I took while out there...

The serial number came right off the frame rail. Had to grind a bit of paint off to get to it but it was there. hmmm. Does this sticker help? It was left by DRMO on the door. Thanks :beer:

Nice

I counted three in the movie. Yeah, nerd. A couple of the military Blue Bird busses seemed a little out of place for the era as well. But aside from that I thought it was a good flick! Lots of Steel Soldiers, for sure.

Hey Carnac, thanks for doing this. Here's what I got: M35A2 with out winch a. Serial Number 7538968 b. Registration Number 04N12470 c. NSN 2320000771616 d. Bought from GL at Fort Meade, MD (Received November 2011) e. No Bumper Number Thanks! Jared

That truck in in nice shape, minus the engine compartment. Would be a nice project.
