re: maintenance There are so many things that most people don't think about. That truck will never be the same. Gauges filled up with water, PCB filled up with water, blah, blah. It isn't just gearboxes to worry about re: running over stuff Ha, I always think the same thing. re: snake...

Regardless of fluid, I'd flush it every 4 or 5 years. If you go underwater, more frequently. BFS won't absorb moisture but that doesn't mean it won't get in the system. The moisture will end up in the low spots (I think) versus just being throughout the system. One way or another you need to...

So I think most everyone who deals with the 24V L and F head engines knows the reputation of the repro coils (easily identified due to their chrome exterior plating) to be just awful. I have a customer with a dead coil in an M38A1. I hate to sell him one of these awful chrome coils only to...

We have a very big announcement today: For 2017, Memphis Equipment has agreed to sponsor our event. We're very happy to be working with Memphis again; they were one of our primary sponsors in 2016.Memphis Equipment has been in business since 1946 and they are one of the largest, if not the...

I love stuff like that. Clever repurpose of an engine stand.

Very nice! I love 'em with fresh paint. Come join us next month, we're not too far away: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?169699-Official-2017-Ga-Military-Vehicle-Rally-info-thread-Oct-18-22-2017

6 cubic yards is what I remember from the last time I did this. I had troop seats. In dirt, you'll run out of room before you run out of weight capacity.

I need a good, complete deuce front end suspension kit. A friend of mine has a bobber with homemade rear suspension and it's the deadliest thing I've ever seen. So I'm going to help him do it right. We need the front springs, hangars, axle hardware and shock mounts. Will have cash at rally...

What did you do to get the axle shaft out of the trailing arm? I assume a shop press? Looks like the axle shaft is pressed into a sealed bearing.

What do you think will happen after he drives yours and gets in another one? "Holy smoke, this steering is messed up!"

It makes me really happy to be able to give something back to the community. I'm glad this is something that has helped some of you out.

I'm so excited about this.

There probably isn't a "M" number for something like that. The US military buys thousands upon thousands of vehicles for every use imaginable. From the lowly Dodge Caravan that recruiters and office workers use, up to half ton 2wd pickups and then giant tractors. Only the "front line"...

I'd like to see how the military kept trying to keep the 5 ton relevant, going from M39 to M809 to M939, then A1 and A2, whereas the M44 series stayed basically the same. Wait, isn't the M809 frame longer than the M39 to accomodate the NHC250?

Broad topics I'd like to see addressed: That short 10 year time period, 1945-1955, where the military transitions from the CCKW, they know it's outdated, they want parts interchangeability, they know they want the M-series watrerproof wiring with circuit tags and every truck's #10 circuit does...

I haven't done this myself, but Gimp's e-track thing is awesome. I love that stuff. If you want to keep it stock, you can add the military cargo tie downs, although it's a lot more work. I saw a 105 on GL like 10 years ago that had had the tie downs installed, so you can claim it's...

SE Toyota is referring to the long bolts that run from the top of the bumper and mount the clevis to the bumper and down to underneath the bumper. I looked tonight and I can't find the invoice where I bought them. You can also get slightly longer bolts and add clevis to the bottom of the...

I had to special order them from somewhere, I'll see if I can find the info tonight.

I had always thought detergent was for filtered engines, non detergent was for non filtered.

Yeah, I think the site (SS) is saving the image from Imgur.
