    There's gold in them thar pockets!

    They do require an EUC for it... I've bought a couple of tons of fired 5.56. But strangely enough, GL is now selling it by the box, too, and as far as I can tell, there's no EUC requirement to buy that stuff. Mine is cheaper and fully processed, tho. 8-)

    expensive 816

    Thanks, wreckerman. I bought one out of GSA a couple of months ago with the express purpose of fixing it up and selling it. If they're still offering that much for one, I'll sell mine in a heartbeat.

    There's gold in them thar pockets!

    It's fired cartridge brass, not enriched uranium. Combs, go to the grocery store or walmart and buy some lemi-shine. Should be in the cleaning supplies section. Mix it with distilled or RO water to the correct concentration and soak the brass in there for and hour or so. Then rinse off the...

    M35A2 un-insurable

    You may not enjoy that low premium forever. I think there's a GVWR limit State Farm has for that cheap antique insurance. Friend of mine got it insured that way and they canceled the policy 3 months later out of the blue. I've got mine insured through state farm for like $190/6 months, but...

    How safe to spray water in engine compartment?

    Hm, good idea with the trash bag, thanks. Yeah, I'll probably take it to a self-serve car wash to do this.

    How safe to spray water in engine compartment?

    Ok, I've got various grease and oil on parts that I want to clean off so I can start fresh and get an idea of what's leaking. This goes for both the engine compartment and directly under the engine. The oil pan has oil on it, various lines have oil/grease on them, etc... I want to clean...

    Front axle air switch - again

    Ok... I believe I have the same problem, but I don't even know how to start doing what you described. Is the transfer case cover under the passenger bench? If so, I need to flip that up to unbolt the cover, right? What's the transfer case vent look like and where is it located? I tried...

    Muffler installation with db comparison

    MO MV, do you think you could take some audio recordings for us with yourself or someone else talking in the cab while the engine is idling so we can hear it, please? I've got a whistler, too... and the big thing keeping me from putting a muffler on the exhaust is that I like hearing the...

    Whats Allowed???????

    One of the ladies at Ft. Sill impatiently tapped her foot while I swapped batteries (and that was it) on a deuce. I actually tried to weld my wrench to the deuce while tightening the posts down on the new batteries, I was so rushed. Other places have let me come in before my euc came back and...

    Retrofit direct injection on a 465?

    Right, someone mentioned that on another board... The electronically controlled injection part is what I'm wondering about, now.

    Retrofit direct injection on a 465?

    As far as a crankshaft sensor, I assume it would be pretty much just about the same thing they use for encoders on servos or steppers with closed loop modification: just a wheel with infra red graduations painted on it for an IR eye to count. I've done a little bit of home made cnc stuff, so I...

    Retrofit direct injection on a 465?

    Yes, another crazy idea, I realize. But could it be done? What all would you have to do? Drill and tap ports for new injectors, find suitable injectors, get a new electronic IP for the injectors... Assume money was no object. What would be the result of such a project? What kind of...

    If the problem with your injury has to do with steering the truck el manual, get an air-o-matic steering kit installed.

    Kicked out of my own driveway!

    Junk? Junk yard? MY collection of deuces has attracted BUYERS and ADMIRERS. Never has it attracted and untoward or unkind comment or complaint.
