Yesterday, 11 April, was the CAF airshow in Burnet Texas and the Lonestar chapter of the MVPA attended to provide some wheeled MVs to go along with the wing-ed ones. The day was overcast and chilly but turnout was pretty good and a good time was had by all. We were able to muster two jeeps, two...

I am amazed at the city folk who just stand around and look without DOING something. A few years ago a small but fierce storm tore through my neighborhood and left a lot of trees down and no power, and almost all of the roads blocked. My first thought after finding out my family and house were...

Just thinking out loud... If the housing is not square the seal won't make. Take the canister off and roll it on the floor and see if its round. I can see how frustrating it would be to not be able to pin it down, I got lucky and my canisters sealed the first time I tried it. My next oil change...

Not if it was tweaked during the change. Did you replace the old gasket under the nut on top of the canister? Did you make sure the filter was lined up correctly inside the canister and on top of the base? The TM shows the cup and spring under the filter but mine was on top of the filter, would...

Your filter housing base might not be square, or the canister bent.

I did the same, drained the air tanks, no way I was going under the hood with that noise! Though I suppose I could have donned my skull crusher first...

It DOES, thanks Tim. My problem was the third thing: the solenoid was stuck due to corrosion (not an electrical short). My horn button is the newer sealed type that grounds inside the button itself (not to the wheel/column) so I suspect the trouble is at the fuse block. I will get my electrician...

An electrical cutoff would not have helped me, my airflow was open and would not go off, had to drain the tanks. When I disconnected the power the horn still worked, ended up having to cap the air line so I could drive home.

YOU Mr. Electrical Contractor, OR the Journeyman Electrician who got the horn stuck in the first place!

My problem was a stuck solenoid, I have cleaned the solenoid but now can not get 24V to it, when I punch the horn button I get 13v at the horn. If I knew an ELECTRICIAN I might be able to get them to fix it:roll:

My brother is letting a 1968 VW Type 3 Fastback rot away at this very moment...

The Mexican military uses M35s, that Border Patrol agent was doing his job and likely EXTREMELY relieved to not find Mexican Forces on his side of the border (AGAIN), or a truckload of: illegal aliens, pot, meth, weapons, Al Queda or all of the above. Those agents are over worked and stretched...

M146 trailers make me feel all warm and squishy inside, like a pretty girl's smile, or a purring kitten:) I want one SOOOOO bad...

Here they are:

I photographed a M109A4 in the DRMO yard at Ft. Sam Houston last summer, it did NOT make it to GL:cry: I will post photos this evening. Sam

Now THAT is sexy, kind of a modern M109:) I talked to a MARINE at an airshow years ago that explained to me that the reason the USMC HMMWV didn't use the CTIS was that if the system failed then the unit had four flat tires with no way to keep them aired up! I personally am afeared of it but...

AWESOME! I will take the credit for informing Sarge that this trailer was available! I says: "Sarge, did you know there is a shop trailer on GL at Ft. Sam?" Sarge says: "OH REALLY?" I says:"it's a clamshel" Sarge says: "OH REALLY? Does it..." I says: "yep, it still has the tools onboard, and...

Remind me to never break down in backwoods AL, sounds like there are scavengers roaming to woods LOOKING for stuff to steal! Thieves reallllly piss me off...
