    New to Steel Soldiers - Beginners questions - Wiring - And why did they take the front drive shaft out?

    There is actually a thread here (maybe in one of the 'stickies') that will tell you exactly what each numbered wire is used for. Hence wire 14B will always connect the same two parts electrically, no matter what vehicle it is found in. There is a list of the wire numbers in that thread...

    Fuel problem

    usually the screens on the bottom of the pump have come loose, pull the pump and verify.

    Oil thin and drippy

    Most of us use Rotella T4 15W-40, other use the Mobil version.

    Oil thin and drippy

    Is the FDC bypassed? That is a great cause of fuel getting into the oil. There are some other places on the IP that can leak fuel into the oil. Search for "Bypass Fuel Density Compensator" here on the site.

    Fuel problem

    Normal ratio for boiocides is one part biocide to 50 parts fuel when dealing with severe buildups. Probably need to remove filter canisters and throughly clean them before trying to push any liquids through them. Yes, you will have to 'sacrifice' a set of filters, but they will catch what is...

    Official 2020 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally (20GMVR) information thread

    Actually I think you are smart enough to not burn that bridge till you have crossed over the new one at least once.

    MKT-75 It started out that I wanted to make a tactical burger.

    Stretch them. You have three sizes, the longest goes on the sides, then the middle piece should have 'fire exit' painted on the inside - that part goes in the middle, then the smallest panel goes over the remaining part of the end. Remember, the military generally had this smallest part open...

    MKT-75 It started out that I wanted to make a tactical burger.

    The pan in the second picture is what I use to make the 'poppabear' Chilimac in. For just one of those pans you would need about 2.7 kilos of macaroni, cooked and put into the pan, add 1.7 liters of ketchup, and two #10 cans of 'chili no beans'. The US #10 can is 18 cm high and 15.5 cm in...

    RESOLVED No longer Stranded... anyone in the Macon or Augusta GA area?

    Ditto. If you were on I-20, you passed within half a mile of my house going through Lexington, SC.

    Soft Top Ripped Loose While Driving.

    I did pretty much the same thing several years ago, but used a single piece of house siding, trimmed down to fit. I posted pics here on the site after I did it. Still holding up, but the top has seen better days. I will be replacing it with a hard top this spring.

    Slave Receptacle

    If I can find my hole cover plates, I can send one of my two hole ones and replace it with a NATO style that I already have. I'm not worried about 'period correct', these trucks were used for 50 years, and the military upgraded them throughout their entire life as circumstances dictated.

    SF97

    Change a wire or a cable, then get a 'mechanics lein' on the vehicle. It may take a year or so depending on your state's laws, but you will get a title.

    Got my HET today!

    You need to read the thread " Code-name-BART-(Bad-A**-Recovery-Truck) " if you want to hear about a HET. I got towed behind it when my shop van broke down going to the GA Rally. It was wider than than one lane on those roads!

    Got my HET today!

    The back seat of a HET is built to carry four tank crew members, so there should be plenty of space for his wife to stretch out and get some beauty rest on the trip. There is also the matter of excess width permits for each state he is driving through, which is probably more of a barrier to...

    Canvas cargo cover weight

    Also depends on whether you will keep the cover on all the time or not. If you only put it on when you need to have a cover on something that NEEDS a cover, then it will last a long time. If it is on 24 x 7 x 365 and exposed to the elements, you will get two to three years maximum. Parked out...

    Question/looking for help with the Inj. Pump Hydraulic Head.

    They will interchange, but you will probably have to turn the fuel supply 'down' a couple of flats. There are a number of threads on this subject, probably found in the deuce forum, or in a sub forum of that.

    Inline pump pulling thru stock pump

    If the pickup tube on the old pump is bad, you may still have problems sucking air into the line. YMMV.
