    Working the Deuce, Vol. 12,385

    I thought you guys would enjoy these. Helped a friend out who owns a landscape company. They're having to do a job for a client who has a yard with extreme erosion issues. There's a stormwater drain that dumps out halfway down their yard and with the volume and amount of water, it's killing...

    Yet another knuckle boot install...

    Are you on the driver's side? I don't put the clamp at 12 o'clock on the left side because the steering arm hits it. I rotate it a little back, so it's just behind the arm. That shouldn't hit anything. If there's any question, once you're done with the boot, rotate the knuckle through it's...

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 18-22, 2017

    It is absolutely, 100% acceptable for folks to bring their civvy vehicles. I haven't had a chance to go out there. I'm trying but I'm working 7 days a week right now. Just no time.

    Hydraulic fuses for brakes

    I think VPed is correct. I'll be honest-I see all these people here and on the various Facebook pages talking about ways to beef up the brake system, in terms of safety or redundancy. And honestly, the absolute best thing you can do is just maintain the system. If you have a deuce that's...

    To be safe, I'd say no later than about 9:45am. You will need to check in at the registration tent and let us shoot a picture of your insurance card and then get in the line for the convoy. I think we begin lining up at 10:30.

    CAD M35 wiring diagram

    F-14 Tomcat (Grumman)

    I could go on and on about how awesome the F-14 was and why they should have gone with the Grumman Super Tomcat or Tomcat21 concepts. I understand the maintenance times and costs and the airframe age issues, but that could have been avoided had the SECDEF not screwed Grumman (wonder how much...

    To blast or not .. and then what. Professional advice sought

    [/COLOR] No, I don't like doing "build" threads until I'm actually done. If you look at the majority of build threads on automotive forums, they're unfinished and everyone loses attention before they're done. I'll do one once I paint the '87 next year, because it's 90% done (front winch, rear...

    To blast or not .. and then what. Professional advice sought

    Looking at those pictures, my $.02: A. I don't think that's CARC. It looks like the original lead enamel olive drab with a newer coat of the MERDC camo, which was pre-CARC. I do not know what the formulation of the MERDC era paint was, but I doubt it's CARC. B. Kind of doesn't matter. You...

    Is This One of Us? This Is Incredible to See

    re: maintenance There are so many things that most people don't think about. That truck will never be the same. Gauges filled up with water, PCB filled up with water, blah, blah. It isn't just gearboxes to worry about re: running over stuff Ha, I always think the same thing. re: snake...

    Brake Fluid Flush

    Regardless of fluid, I'd flush it every 4 or 5 years. If you go underwater, more frequently. BFS won't absorb moisture but that doesn't mean it won't get in the system. The moisture will end up in the low spots (I think) versus just being throughout the system. One way or another you need to...

    Repro coil issues

    So I think most everyone who deals with the 24V L and F head engines knows the reputation of the repro coils (easily identified due to their chrome exterior plating) to be just awful. I have a customer with a dead coil in an M38A1. I hate to sell him one of these awful chrome coils only to...
