I cannot speak to the legal issues, but I can tell you about towing a Bronco from Ft. Riley, KS to Denver, CO., it went great! I appologize in advance if I am repeating something someone else said on this thread; it is a bit long and I'm at work and couldn't do more than skim it. The biggest...

Here is a place to contact for relay valves or parts: www.airbrakespec.com I had 3 trailers with damaged valves and these folks sent me the repair parts FREE!. Also you might look at this thread I started when I was looking for a solution to my problems...

Not bad at all. I've seen lots of shelter half go up for auction and wondered why anyone would big on them. I guess I'm not imaginative enough. The trouble is, they go across the auction block 100 at a time. Arlyn Colorado

It was too cold to go out yesterday and barely decent today. I flipped the accessory switch on and measured 24 Volts on the pump side of the fuse which was intact. There is no sound coming from the pump. I measured the resistance across the pump and found it to be 2K ohms. Considering that it...

Thanks for more good suggestions. I'm going over to the yard where it is stored and start working on it. I have not done any of the PM suggested, so I have some work ahead of me. QUESTION: If the in-tank pump fails is it completely dead? Will the injector pump suck fuel? I don't...

Thanks!! Pic's are worth a thousand words, especially in this economy. Thanks everybody else for the help and suggestions. I am always a little hesitant to start taking things apart without a manual or something or at least a little encouragement. I see a bit of RTV in one picture, so I...

Did I miss the answer to that question? My recollections are that the flat head engine in those was rather weak and got only 6 MPG. However, one of those old beasts got me home in '68 with a few extra holes down the right side. Where does your spare mount? Do you still have a place for...

I stand corrected. I see the hoses, but I don't see the bracket in front of the electrical bracket for the blue hose. Maybe that is why the blue hose is hanging down. In that case I have to endorse what Recovery4x4 said. If you need help, these folks sent me some used but FREE wasp excluders...

I know, RTFM. The trouble is that I don't know what TM to look in. Here's the problem in a nutshell (coconut sized): The deuce is a '66 Kaiser Jeep with a NON-turbo Continental w/ 23K miles. 1. It used to start easily until I ran it out of fuel and had to bleed air out of the valve at the...

Interesting!! Our recon team in the 15th Combat Engineers, 9th Inf. Div. Viet Nam, 1968 , had one of those mounted on the back of an M38. They called it the gun that kills on both ends. You really didn't want to shoot it straight off the back.

Recovery4x4 would be right on except that econstruction has the early type with no relay valve. The fastest way to tell them apart in the pic's is the presence or lack of the lifting lugs with 2 holes each welded to the frame just in front of the box. also, if the pic' is clear enough, there...

An M38 is just a Jeep CJ5, or should I say that a Jeep CJ5 is just an M38. There are lots of really good conversions in civilian CJ5s. The only problem there is that a CJ5 has a shorter engine compartment than a CJ7, the most common older Jeep you will find. A real nice conversion, but...

There is another option than any I saw above if you can rewire the trailer. American SuperLite sells trailer lights with a voltage range of 12 - 38 volts. http://www.americansuperlite.com/productDetails.cfm?categoryID=2&categoryPage=1 This is what I am planning to do with an M101 that I...

I think we just got above 10 degrees here. I followed the prescribed method of using the heater and it still didn't start. I stopped trying before I killed the batteries so badly that they would freeze. I think that I have problems with air in the fuel lines. When I picked it up at Ft...

I take it that you are bidding on some of the equipment at Ft. Carson. When the bidding is done, let us know what you've bought. GL in Arizona is a pain to deal with, but the folks at Ft. Carson are great. I have bought 5 trailers and a tent from Ft. Carson and can honestly say that the people...

The deuce in my avatar came from Ft. Riley; in fact that pic is taken just outside the gate of Ft. Riley. I had to grind the pintle hook down because the tow bar I fab'ed to pull the Bronco home had a small eye. They ran a cord for me and waited in 115 degree heat for me to get it done before...

Before you open up the wallet or get out the check book, clean up ALL your electric connections. That might include the connection between the starter itself and the engine block because that is part of the circuit too. Clean up all the battery connectors, too. The starter by far pulls more...

I don't know what the Army suggests, but I go back to my Boy Scout days. I have always used a double halfhitch for tying off tarp lashings. I have 2 M105s and and an M101 and except for a couple of short ropes, it works great. I have pulled the M101 around a lot and no flapping. Thanks papercu...

' Congrat's on the new baby. They're lots of fun, too.

I am impressed with your conversion, partly because you did it INSIDE the frame. I have found several systems in junk yards, particularly 2 ton IH rigs, but they all mount outside the frame. I have been wondering where school buses go to die! They should have similar systems.
