    All, The Fort Snelling Military Museum is scheduled to be closed by the end of September 2011. All of the artifacts are being reallocated to several different museums across the country. But we're not going out without a bang. Below is information that I posted in an email to my work. The...

    Slow vehicle safety

    Not to be a PITA but before you guys go out and spend a ton of money on new gadgets and reflectors to go on the back of your vehicles remember: All of these add ons will not prevent a retard behind the wheel from hitting you

    Guaranteed to be warm inside when out in the sun when its 90+ degrees outside.

    Shop Day and get together

    Never did ask, how did that tarp end up working for you? Minus the front zipper being torn everything else still in good shape on it?

    Slow vehicle safety

    50 is slow on state highways, only difference is rate of closure is 10 - 15 mph versus 20 - 25 mph (or more). I run my deuce at 55 - 58 mph all day long on the interstate and state roads to minimize the closure rate but you can't totally get rid of it.

    Oil level flucuating,spin ons??

    That's an open ended question meaning that every engine is different. Mine has a wet spot on the back of the engine from up top that leaks so little that I don't notice a change in oil by the time I do the next oil change. Another engine my have weak rings and burn oil, you could have your turbo...

    Slow vehicle safety

    I ALWAYS drive with my lights on and use flashers if I have to pull over. Simple fact of the matter it doesn't matter how many lights/reflectors you add to a vehicle YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID (the driver in the other car). There are more state patrol cars wrecked up here (and in other states I'm...

    If you find one that is reliable you're lucky.

    Shut off Deuce when Refueling, or let it run?

    Let it run. Remember you can put a match out in a can of diesel and you will have no fire. Try that with a can of gas on the other hand and you'll be in the ER.

    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    So you're comparing something that is an 8x8 based on new designs to a 6x6 from the 1950's design? Based on your comparison video of the Tatra trucks I would like to see what happened to whatever he was hauling in them going over terrain in that thing.....better yet do that with a full load on...

    LDS engine stalls at low speed or take off.

    What are you running for fuel? Lots of threads on here asking questions about power loss only to find out that instead of running straight diesel people are talking about running all sorts of mixed stuff in their tank. Troubleshooting a diesel problem versus a mixed fuel problem is a whole...

    Help My 5 ton is under flood water!!

    Just be glad that the truck isn't newer with a computer controlled engine. If it were I would say scrap it. With it being as "simple" as it is follow Gimp's advice and you should be fine.

    You'll see some artifacts coming from up here. They are shutting down the museum I volunteer at and some of our stuff is headed to Benning.

    Got tips for better MPG's from LDT motors?

    If you have a tarp on the back it will also decrease your mileage.

    Deuce Blown Michelin Fun.

    Don't know if you've done this but I would seriously look at all of the front end mounts to make sure that nothing broke based on your steer rim damage. Other posts on this site with similar off-roading adventures have found broken components even though the truck would drive away.

    Nice job troubleshooting the problem and not giving up on it.

    Sellable value for a M35A3

    You will notice that LGM is in love with M35A3 and anyone who differs from his opinion is an idiot and doesn't know what they're talking about. I own an A2, been around A3's and am friends/work with mechanics who have worked on A3's since they first came into the service. Their response is...
