    Eglin AFB Pick-up, delivery to GA Rally????????

    Captain said he was heading down there again this week or next...and he posted his cell number to get in touch with him if you still need him.

    A real quick way to see if the pictures aren't very good or if you are just doing a "walk by" would be to look at the "Air Scoop" on the drivers fender to bring fresh air into the heater. The first pic has no "scoop"...No Heater Installed. Second pic has the "scoop"...Heater Installed. They...

    Deuce = Coolest Scaffold Around

    Great way to put the deuce to work!!! Some people might think you should be working it a bit harder, but sometimes the old girls need a break too...LOL :-D

    MEP use in home PV system for topping up batteries

    even at that, that's still a LOT of DC current available. 200 volts DC isn't going to do anybody much good, so it will need to be at a lower voltage. 3 KW 208 volts 3 phase is about 10.4 amps. Step down the voltage before rectification to about 28 volts (MV uses) and you're talking about a...

    it sure could....if you had a use for that much rectified DC

    Hauling wood again! 15,000lbs

    OK Stretch, You should have said you were coming down here to steal my firewood....I could have had a beer waiting on you or something. Which mill did you get the slabs from? I know of about 3 or 4 right here close to home.

    My Deuce

    sweet truck :-D Your brake problem could be as simple as it just being adjusted too tight...once the pads heat and swell it could have been rubbing. Hopefully it's that simple and nothing serious.

    JC, if I were closer I would happily go with you, I'm always up for looking at some OD Iron. Hopefully someone will step up and be available to help you out. It's good that you are going to look at them and ask questions before buying one. May I also suggest reading the deuce wiki article in...

    New Guy. I have some concerns...

    Recovry4x4 and the others are correct about the heat in the cab and the heat you'll feel on the transmission, listen to them and you'll be fine. As to the transmission fill level....I've been there and done that. I had a 750+ mile recovery trip from Wisconsin to Ohio earlier in the summer...

    Eglin AFB Pick-up, delivery to GA Rally????????

    Woody, I'm happy to hear you made it back safely. I know it's no fun trying to drive around with a leaking tranny/clutch problems. You did a heck of a job getting back to TN from FL with a tranny going south on ya. Apparently, even the thought of stopping at WM's brought Murphy from his...

    Eglin AFB Pick-up, delivery to GA Rally????????

    Well, for those of us that won some of these tents, I was doing a little research today. Green_gator said in an earlier post that he spoke with the GL rep at Eglin and was told that the tents are brand new in the crates (most of them anyway). I was looking for the TM online and doing a little...

    Me and my boy went for a drive today.

    Jeff, Thanks for posting that trip. I've driven by and wondered what exactly was on that hilltop...now I know. Too far to make a trip myself, unless I happen to be going out west again sometime. I might have to make an extra day to stop and check it out.

    MEP use in home PV system for topping up batteries

    Oh, where to start.... first off, why??? When you rectify AC to DC the DC output voltage is not going to just be the RMS voltage, although it may be close (speaking 3 phase only here). The calculation is actually V(dc) = 2 x V(p)/ PI, where V(dc) is the DC output voltage, V(p) is the peak...

    Eglin AFB Pick-up, delivery to GA Rally????????

    I'll still say thanks again. How's this.... Woody, you are the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! :not worthy: Seriously, You guys do so much for the folks on here I don't know how we can say thanks.

    Eglin AFB Pick-up, delivery to GA Rally????????

    Thanks Captain, You are the man!!!!!!!!!! :not worthy: Did Woody tell you if they are in the crates or just the bags? Now I'm curious to see if they come with everything that they are supposed to be issued with. Like the map board and table and lights? If they don't that's fine with me, I...

    Do it urself bed liners????

    Trudge, if you can get that set-up and apply the true line-x...I'll bet you could make a killing going to a rally (GA Rally maybe??????????) Do I hear/see a discount for SS members?????

    Do it urself bed liners????

    If you've got the stuff needed already, and the customers are lined lined up, why not contact Line-x corp and see about a franchise?? I have it in my pick-up and I'm with you. I love it. I would love to have it sprayed in the deuce, but I know it will cost almost as much as the deuce did.

    My M35A2 story (so far)

    Mark, welcome and congrats on the new "member of the family" so to speak. I agree with all the posts above, bleeding the brakes will help with your problem most likely...however, since it's a new (to you) truck, and you have no idea of the maintenance that was done to it prior to you purchasing...
