    Clinto civvy flasher modification ( video)

    I will admit I'm really bad about using a pressure washer and degreaser to make stuff as spotless as possible and so far, my EG22 has survived both in the original box (plastic) and the newer metal box it's currently in. I think if I was doing an EG22 swap and I wasn't going to mount it in a...

    Dist. & plugs

    And remember, on these you'll have to re-prime the oil pump after re-indexing it. Pack it with grease.

    Dist. & plugs

    And the distributor shaft can only slide into the oil pump shaft one way- the slot is offset. And people frequently forget to "time" the oil pump to the cam so the slot will be where you expect it.

    Clinto civvy flasher modification ( video)

    A. Oh man, I'm famous! :clinto:I always thought it was funny when people started advertising CUCVs with the Doghead relay on Craigslist and eBay and I still laugh out loud at the idea of a person who's never been on SS seeing such an ad and saying "WTF IS A DOGHEAD RELAY!?". I live for the...

    1942 White M2A1 engine and gearbox colors.

    I'm doing a restoration on a '42 White M2A1 halftrack and I need some help with colors. The engine is at the machine shop and I'm building the gearboxes now. I think the engine is supposed to be grey (it was the same olive drab as the vehicle when I received it) but I'm not sure about the...

    Official 2019 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally (19SSGR) - Georgia Military Vehicle Rally

    Ok, I know many of ya'll have attended for many years, so you gloss over the ever-lengthening main post (#1) above. So here's the cliff notes: A. The waivers of liability are now combined, so you only have to sign one, as opposed to two. And, you can download it here and fill it out and...

    Official 2019 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally (19SSGR) - Georgia Military Vehicle Rally

    This year will be very similar to last year’s event, obviously the date is 2019 specific. So, if you’ve attended the last few years, you probably know what you need to know. We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our 2019 sponsor, Memphis Equipment, for their assistance. Without them...

    Brake line flush

    I did not change out all the rubber components. This is one of those things where I had read all of the comments about an alcohol flush and switch to BFS being a bad idea. And I got in a pickle with my '68 Road Runner and did it. And it ran for years afterwards without issues. I slowly did...

    M44 headlight doors.. how many different styles are there?

    I noticed a difference I think I'd noticed before but couldn't quite put my fingers on it until I had two trucks with headlight swaps at the same time. Both of these are old trucks (60s ish) but left the military in the 2000s, so who knows what they had when new, what got replaced with what...

    Brake line flush

    I have two brake bleeders (the regular pressurized setup everyone uses). I drain the system, then I fill the pressure bleeder with denatured alcohol and flush it all the way through the system (i.e. open all the bleeders). Once I'm confident everything is out, I simply turn my air pressure...

    Trailer Wiring for Deuce

    And most of them don't have electric brake functionality because that's a lot of complexity and integration with the truck.

    Trailer Wiring for Deuce

    Yes/no. I've designed all of the box and built about 80% of it. Last thing I have to do is install the self diagnostic system (long story) and then paint the box. I then have to strip my deuce interior, paint it, install the M44A3 cab brace so I can upgrade to the M44A3 3-point shoulder...
