    New Navy Destroyer

    Maybe related to glancing off, the radar and minimizing the radar return image?

    goose neck trailer hookup.

    The tractor is a little "overkill" for your gooseneck. You won't know if its back there - by the same notion, you won't know if its not back there either. To respond to the subject though, just make a ball hitch in back of the real fifth wheel, and add special place to hook in the lights, but...

    Wiring M101A2 to 7 spade on civilian vehicle

    I have done a couple of them . Leave the lights. You can't beat them - they are shock proof/rubber mounted & water proof, but change the bulbs. Then cut the military plug off the end of the existing "trailer to tow vehicle' cable, Strip back appropriately for the seven flat pin ( RV Plug)...

    270 GMC engine rebuild tips wanted

    I balanced a GM 302 & an 264 International. It does wonders to smooth things out, when your pulling that long hill.

    Mud flaps on the M939 Tractor

    You don't need mud flaps, on the tractor, if your pulling a trailer. In fact on some trailers, if you leave the flaps on, they will hang up on the trailer frame or landing gear, when making sharp corners, or on uneven ground. Therefore, you want to have a storage place on the tractor (never...

    m35a1 heater and motor id

    Need more information, and more pictures of the heater. Is it a hot water heater, with a radiator in the box in the pictures, or was that out in front by the engine? Or was it gas fired, and the thing in the cab was just a distribution box for defrosters, and a booster motor? Lots of stuff...

    I'll bet it was loud, and that you had fun doing it, all the way.

    Fan blade broke, Pain in Pennsylvania

    Your sure lucky, it didn't get the radiator, or that your first thoughts, didn't come true! Probably the hood will be the hardest, and trickest to repair. The metal around the dent is stretched. Doing anything to repair it (make it smooth again), might not be possible, without warping the...

    Deuce brake problem

    Its the Air Pack. Your Service glad hand, has nothing to do with it. If you were pulling a trailer, things would even be more complex & difficult to diagnoise.

    Deuce Halogen Headlight Upgrade

    I used Hella H4 lights & swapped the bulbs for 24V. Soldered ends from burned out bulbs to the adapter. They fit in the bckets without alteration. They have swell "cutoff lines" in low beam. Traffic doesn't complain, they have wider beams for Moose control in the ditch, and make night...

    Optima 6TL battery tray adapters

    That sounds like a really neat alternative, especially where the 6TL's are not availiable. Thanks for passing on the Tip. BTW, Welcome to the site!

    M-37 Gearing

    Even if you have a faster ratio, the stock 230 flathead hardly has the power to run it, and will fade even worse, on a hill. It was built for off-road, with some Highway capabilities. Where as the new 4x4's are built for Highway, and just some Off-roading. Alter it, and you just find the next...

    M1101

    Welcome On the trailer, the Mil Spec Pigtail ends are avaiiliable for not too much. One option would be to change the bulbs to 12V, and cut the plug end off, the existing pigtail, and install a common RV plug on it. Just disregard the BO light stuff. Most pickups ar already wired for the RV...

    Budd lug nut question

    A PorkChop should be a standard tool in your Wheel End Kit. Once the nuts are broken loose, if they aren't finger loose, I replace them. I don't care to have to back the whole thing off, with a wrench! They just get worse and gauld other stuff.

    6TL Battery mystery

    Yeah, being up here, sometimes I get to feeling like one of the Step Kids. But back to batteries, my Dad always like the Hygrometer, and to test each cell for "specific gravity". If there was much difference, from cell to cell, it usually ment a "push start", and don't shut it off till you get...

    6TL Battery mystery

    What little techinical stuff, that I know about batteries is: A fully charged battery is considered to have 12.66 volts. But they can have, what is called a "surface charge". So, when testing a battery, if super accuracy is desired, one should get rid of the surface charge. You can do that by...

    Storage containers outdoors

    I'd leave them vented, but on another note, does ultraviolet harm the poly stuff?

    Why would the Transfer Case pop into neutral while driving?????

    Is the TC low on lube? Can you reach it with your finger? Don't pull the tunnel, unless you have too.
