Go to a different tag office. They are SUPPOSED to treat the SF97 as an out-of-State title.

The proof of registration and insurance is so you can bring your POV onto the base... Otherwise, they won't let you IN. You have to go through pass-and-ID first. Getting OUT is no problem... at worst gotta show them an invoice; I just drove out the gate. My neighbor has a tow truck, he went...

I tried to buy one of the Personnel boats off my ship when it went on a DRMS auction, but sold for too much. The trucks that were in my Navy unit either are still in use or got sold down in Cali since my unit disbanded and was transferred over to Active. I have seen a few NCW Group 1 trucks go...

I actually got a note in the mail with my renewal notice that I Might need a USDOT number to be allowed to re-register my Deuce. It made it so I had to renew in person, rather than online or via mail. However, after being asked a couple questions they determined I didn't need the DOT number...

If it's not at least making an attempt to fire on starting fluid then it's quite possible the timing chain broke. That would explain the no fuel from the IP, since it wouldn't turn with the chain broken. I know, worst case scenario, but I'd check that. Pull a valve cover (or if you can see...

You do NOT want to run a 12V alternator and hook it up to the middle. It would cause a MASSIVE inbalance, and it WILL backcharge the other battery, killing it very shortly. Probably destroy the regulators in both alternators as well. If the 24V alternator/generator were to fail with this...

Mine read over 88,300 on the odo when I got it, but under 20 hours on the tach. Tach was obviously replaced, and didn't live 20 miles after that. I now have a much older tach, which was pre-loaded with many, many hours so God knows what the real hours are. Plus the engine was depot-rebuilt in...

Isn't Georgia one of those weird States that doesn't require a title for vehicles over "x" years old? I seem to remember something like that- they won't even issue you one if you wanted it. But that wouldn't avoid needing the VIN inspection to get registration.

Considering that AM General was founded in 1971, it's a physical impossibility to have a 1968 AM General. AM General didn't exist in 1968, it was still Kaiser-Jeep at that point, American Motors didn't buy the Jeep corp from Kaiser until 1970, which is when the AMC logo started showing up on...

Personally, I prefer the 5-ton. The 813 was the first military vehicle I ever drove (aside from civilian stuff owned by the military). It was funny, because some of the guys in my unit didn't want to drive the 5-tons because they thought it'd be too difficult- I figured out in a hurry that...

Mike, those are the Naval Coastal Warfare logos (the more generic ones) I was talking about- the shark and lighting bolts. Probably MIUW equipment, or maybe IBU 11 or 13.

If the trucks were officially issued to the Navy they are solid color, but in most cases the M35A2 trucks were DRMO acquisitions. I know my unit had a few- we were issued a pair of A3s but they were incapable of STOPPING the trailers we towed so we turned them back in and ended up with a couple...

Well, that's one way to get bugs off the windshield. Just don't forget and use it with the windscreen open.

What I mean by "overbuilt" is that the Allison's main components could handle far more horsepower than the engine was designed to produce. The Merlin, OTOH, wasn't quite as stout. Its components were far closer to design tolerance. It made the Merlin lighter per HP but more fragile. Reno Air...

Yes, the single-stage centrifugal supercharger was the Allison's biggest drawback, but it was the USAAF that demanded it be that configuration- they believed that turbo-supercharging using exhaust would provide better results, and they intended it to always be a low-altitude engine. Of course...

I was able to stick a take-out cup in the rifle rack bracket on the dash, though that's hardly a permanent solution. It does work in a pinch.

I'm in the process of rebuilding an Allison V1710 right now. It has to run by next month... Making 66-year old worn out parts into a running machine takes patience. And a little luck, though this isn't the first Allison I've helped assemble. But this one is far more a collection of worn out...

I've seen some that look like they were painted with a broom. The straw military-issue type. And not new ones, either. My Reserve unit wasn't much better... we painted our Mobile Command Post (an M109A3) using forest green latex house paint and rollers. Touch up what the rollers missed with...

Yeah, most of the posts I searched through were folks asking how to install the retrofit kit, or folks asking how to diagnose. I Already have the retrofit kit and I've already diagnosed the problem I just need the part number. Memphis comes up empty (they don't list part numbers and their...
