    MV of the month nominations Nov 20

    There are a lot of different forums and each one is built around a specific vehicle or era. Most of the traffic on this site is geared toward the big trucks so it would only make sense that you would see more big trucks in the monthly competition. Other sites like the G503 is more geared toward...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month October 2020

    I forgot to mention in the last post that I've owned it since 2012 and have done nothing to this truck other than what I mention previously although I did buy a cargo cover for it. This thing is as it was when it was released from the military. Of course when you buy a deuce you have to get a...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month October 2020

    This truck and I were both assigned to Fairchild AFB when I was AD however we never crossed paths because it was assigned to the civil engineer squadron of the Air National Guard. Never drove one of these trucks so I got a quick lesson from the DRMO manager who was retired military. He told me...

    M38a1 loss of power backfiring

    Check the inside of your distributor cap, rotor and points. If they look good and your points aren't worn or corroded, check the gap on the points and reset if needed. Put it all back together and see if it starts. If it doesn't, pull a spark plug and check for spark. If no spark than its either...

    M151 A-1 Coil

    I would pull your coil out and see if there is fluid in the bottom of the distributor. Word of caution have gloves on because that fluid is caustic and these coils have a tendency to leak. I've been told the fluid in the coil helps to keep it cool. If you find liquid in the bottom of the...

    Rally's near NW Montana? OK within 500 miles?

    Dave this is a true statement and because they are treated as a piece of equipment they are cheap when the owner decides to part with it. Another reason that there isn't any interest around this area on the hobby side is because there isn't any exposure to it. Cities around the country had...

    Rally's near NW Montana? OK within 500 miles?

    There doesn't seem to be much interest in MV collecting out here. I drive my 151 on occasion and I don't get much of a reaction from folks. There is a group in Bozeman MT named the Montana Military Vehicle Club that went from an internet based club to an FB group. They are somewhat active but I...

    Foggy gauges

    Common problem because these gauges are sealed and over time the seal deteriorates and allows moisture in behind the glass. You can buy new gauges but they will eventually do the same thing.

    plate questions for Montana MV residents

    Nope. If you have a deuce or larger it will be registered as a commercial vehicle due to weight. If you own a vehicle 11 years or older you can get permenant plates. My 151's are both permenant plated along with the rest of my civy vehicles but my deuce is considered commercial so it cant be...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?
