    My dad's new FMTV...

    I can only comment on what I drove. The deuce can take that licking and keep on ticking. We proved that in Nam. Drove them hard and fast. They broght us home. Leaking and full of holes. They were designed to take that beating. I will sit back and :popcorn: then see if they reissue the deuce...

    Power steering kit for M35A2

    I have 2 that came with Air Assist. They are nice but I would not spend $1800. There are other cheaper applications available. The assist is good for me since I use mine in the woods in close quarters. 3 years ago while in the heat of backing between 2 trees {withour air assist} I was not...

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: GL $ and EUC No reputable company conducts business in this manner, by charging someones credit card or account and having them wait for days, weeks and sometimes months before the product is delivered. This is an unconscionable business practice. This puts them right down...

    Battery terminal meltdown

    RE: Re: RE: Battery terminal meltdown Replacing the post is probably the best and most simple. The cause is most likely a dead short in your system. I had this happen on a truck recovery when attempting to change the battery pack. When I touched the positive cable to the battery, instant melt...

    Quiet cab?

    RE: Re: RE: Quiet cab? :funny: Yea, keeping cool in a deuce. But the idea of sealing around the trans and transfer case shifters is a good idea. I have 2 trucks with this set-up and makes a difference. The last recovery from Ok I took the blue paper towels and cramed them around the trans...
