    Alright, since this has gone no where, poop. I may have found a place we could all meet up in a neutral location with FOOD! They have car meets at random times at the Fosters Grill in Cape Coral. So if anyone is interested, I will go down there and talk with them and see if I could get...

    Floor jack adaptor - makes it a transmission jack. Any experience?

    There is one of those adapters sitting in the back of the shop at work. I am told it was useless. We use a Motorcycle jack instead for trans and tcases. Worked pretty good with the 500ish pound ZF-6 speed we just replaced in my truck. Used a strap to help hold it in place. Also had to use...

    Temporary Insurance Question (Binder Policy)

    All state's, except CA(some cases), recognize your home state's laws. And most consider Canada another state. Just drive it like you would your pregnant roller-skate. I would however put Not For Hire on the doors. All other recovery things are still needed, tools, TM's, all that jazz. As...

    CUCV Speeds

    Its not hard at all. Just have to have the right equations. From there its all plug and play. You have to find the frontal mass, which I used ground to roof line and with of truck as a square, because it is. I think its about 60 sq feet. You also have to figure out power at the wheels...

    CUCV Speeds

    I had a physics class that was self led in HS, and part of it, I made my own lesson plan, I figured out the top speed of my 85 Chevy C20, with Drag figured in. It came out to like 142 with the 350 4 Bolt, THM350, and 4.10s and the stock tire. Now I had a bit of power in that truck, about...

    best diesel engine to swap into early-model CJ5?

    I have a 4.4L Turbo Perkins in my Reed A40HP Concrete Pump, and its great. Does decent on fuel, no problems with, got 500 hours on it since the beginning of the year. Just gotta keep the oil changed in it every 100 hours. Once the oil in those start to go black, bad things happen. It sounds...

    Its run by mike, not sure on his SS name. No one has been added for a while. Don't know why its like that, but I remember it taking a while for me to be approved.

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    I would check compression, but give it a shot with some brake cleaner. Have someone shoot some in the intake while cranking. This has worked a few times to get one of our 7.3s to stat. It turned out to be 2 injectors only half working. Once it got going, it would stay going. But you said...

    I'm across the sate from you, but I know there are a bunch of guys over there. Kenny, You moved over here at the wrong time. We just finished a job over at USF St. Pete, just down the road from you. You're still not far as we have a job going at St. Joe's Hospital. Would love to get a...

    Upgrade complete

    Oh and why can I send myself a PM? All I wanted to do was send another PM to the same member, and ended up replying to my own message, which sent it to myself. Not saying this didn't happen before, but seems kinda pointless. I know I can text myself or call myself on my phone, but those...

    Okay, simple question. Could we attach pics in PM's before? Because I can't now. And if I am missing something, how do you? And if not, could we get that at some point, it would be nice.

    Has it? Sorry. I admit I skipped the 10 pages from last night to this afternoon. I understand that those options are there and how to get to them. I was just stating the fact that I liked when you clicked the Steel Soldiers logo, it took you to the updated threads, not forums lists.

    Upgrade complete

    One thing I am not liking after using it for a while is when I click on Steel Soldiers, it brings up the forum menu. I preferred the old way where it brought up the latest updated threads. That's what it would bring up on my book marked page of steelsoliders.com. That was nice. I don't like...

    This is great. Feels like a fresh pair underwear. But I am not a fan of the grey. The sink idea is cool. That way we can all pick something we like or can see. I also like this auto save feature that I see as I type. Good work ladies!

    rust on fuel tank 'filter screen tube' M818

    One thing you learn when getting your pilots licence is keeping your fuel tanks full all the time. This is to keep air out of the tank. There is moisture in the air and when it gets cooler at night it condenses onto the top of the fuel tanks. This drips into the fuel which is bad no matter...
