    Newbie lookin for a M101A2 on GL w/ questions...

    MV = Military Vehicle. I like the plate because it comes in handy for moving different trailers that are different heights. I have one with the ball and it works fine. You see, you now have OD (Olive Drab) addiction. You don't know it yet but you do. Ask any of us how this happens and all will...

    Newbie lookin for a M101A2 on GL w/ questions...

    Tractor supply has the pintle plate but I don't remember if they have the hitch. Just so you know a stock pintle from a MV will also work. I have several of them laying around. Rick

    Installing 4" lift on m1008

    I can tell you that we ran those spacers for years on trucks with 44's and they got hammered pretty hard. As long as the bolts were goodd quality and torqued correctly they were no problem. I did see them come loose on occaision but remember that these trucks were slamming through mud bogs and...

    Turbo spool down

    It is this kind of sarcasm that turns people off to this site. I have pointed this out in the past but I always just get flamed. So be it.

    As if the power doesn't go out enough on it's own!!!!

    I was out for three days last winter during the last storm in Feb. I did not have the 002 then, now I have two of them! Temps here have been low 20's at night, 20 below the average. Rick

    Coolant question

    I do not think they are behind the mounts, Passenger side should be somewhere near the back end of the starter and drivers side should be close to the mount but in front of it. They should not be hard to find looking up from underneath with a flashlight.

    Thanks Ben, I had a post titled "Rough running" that I think I will abandon because this thread is covering all of the bases. Rick

    doghead relay surprise...

    On most of the Ford style relays like that if they have two small posts then one is the feed for the relay and the other is an output to feed 12 volts to the coil for starting or in some cases to bypass an oil safety switch. The relay does ground through the base but it has to be bolted to the...

    Treeguy, Do you by any chance remember where the thread is that you were referring to about taking the pump apart? Rick

    HELP!! installing the rebuilt IP - MEP-002A Refurb Update

    Joe, I think this thing has become personal to all of us, Once you get it going this thread will become invaluable for diagnosing and repairing a 002. Once it is all said and done I am going to print out the entire thread and out it my generator papers. Rick

    Coolant question

    The rest is trapped in the block, there is a drain plug on both side of the block. It has been a long time since I worked on them but the plug is below the freeze plugs and offset more to one end but I do not remember exactly where. It will be a 1/4" pipe plug, hex head. Rick

    I know one year there was a shortfall due to some unforeseen circumstances at one of Cabell's dinners and one of the members forked out some cash. I don't think he was going to say anything but word got out and there was an immediate collection to cover the costs. When you consider that the food...

    Aberdeen

    I am going to ask a question here that may not be real popular but it is something to think about. Since there is no "onsite camping" isn't there going to be a point where drunken rowdy parties are going to cause the management to put an end to the use of the venue? I like to have fun as much as...

    Definitely get hold of Cabell so there is not a glut of food and people lose money. I know Cabell has done this for many years. I will be there as well but you don't have to worry about me sucking up all the beer.:grin: Rick

    Allow me to introduce myself

    Craig, I hate to say this but you are not helping your situation by going on like that. I, for one have had enough of the paranoia and witch hunting, I am gone. Craig, you can pm me if you think I can help. Mods, you really need to take a close look at the paranoia and retribution that is going...
