    8.3 suddenly started knocking

    If it was overhauled and truly has 1200 miles on it, there's no way I'd part such a truck out over a dead cylinder. Pull a valve cover, see what's going on. If it isn't apparent, pull the oil pan. One way or another, if the valves are opening and the injector is firing and it's still 70°...

    A3 to A2 Bearing Conversion

    It means "this side is outside of the area it's sealing" , i.e. the inside of the hub, where the bearings and grease are, are the inside. I hate to say this, but I can speak for Gimpy, R4x4 and I when I say: We know, we don't think. I've done a hundred of these. The rubber part faces...

    Rideshare to GA Rally- Texas and potentially other states................

    Like Andy said, if we put the rally thread up now, there would literally be 1,000+ posts on it. We try to limit the # of posts in the info thread because we don't want a new forum member to sign up a week before the rally and have to read 900 posts to get up to speed. The info thread from 2014...

    HMMWV or A3 seat on a A2 Spring Driver base

    I am about to do it-I have a complete M44A3 drivers seat in mine and I really like it. I moved the spring ride over to the passenger side and I am about to replace it with an A3 seat on the spring ride base. Will have to build a sub-mount to adapt the A3/HMMWV seat to the spring ride base...

    Bearing roar

    Not in a deuce. Several cars (when I was 16, a front bearing failed on a car I had just bought, taking out the spindle and a week later, one of the rears did the same thing) but no deuces. A bad bearing is definitely noisy, I am just surprised you can hear it in a deuce. When I read the...

    Bearing roar

    I am impressed you can hear bearing roar in a deuce. I mean, I can hear noisy transmissions and transfers, but I think I'd have to get it up to speed and kill the engine to hear a bad bearing.

    New MV Owner / Member in Virginia

    Builder77 was hilarious. One time he bought an enormous truck load of fiberglass M105 racks. By the time he had sold about half of them, he was practically giving them away. At Aberdeen he told me he couldn't sleep because he kept having nightmares about 105 racks. He was also a highly...

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Multimedia SSGR14 thread

    I have some good footage but I need to edit it. My editor doesn't work with QuickTime and the footage was shot with QT. I either need a free editor that can work with QT or a free converter that can convert QT over to something like mp4, flash, wmv, etc. Anyone have any suggestions?
