Get the batteries checked, make sure they are not on the verge of a dead cell. Insulate them either with a battery type wrap or rigid insulation on the inside of the battery box if you have the room, block the radiator, drain and flush cooling system and put fresh coolant in, change to a lighter...

Update My EUC has been sent to battle creek today; 11 days after submission to GL.

IMO the only reason to use a block heater is to start a vehicle in extremely cold weather. I am not sold on the "it saves the engine because it gets the oil flowing quickly" theory. Engines are designed with an oil pan at the bottom that the oil settles into when the engine is off. If wear was...

I enlisted at 17 fresh out of school, If I had it to do over again I would go to college first and go in at a higher rank than E1. But that is just me, some people do well working up through the ranks, others not so much.

In other words it would make a good building to put in the yard and keep a few chickens or maybe a hog in.

Well the peal and stick application would concern me, nothing like gluing your hard earned to the bottom of the oil pan just to have it fall off and get run over. Though if I lived in Florida I would not even spend my hard earned on any motor oil heater.... actually pretty much anywhere south...

I think cold is relative. I like to travel around old KY and visit all these old historical sites and the one thing I see in common is that the old houses all have ice houses on the grounds and little markers that say they "used to cut ice off of local ponds and store it here for summer time...

Wow, a southerner extending an invite to a northerner to move south? All I ever get is told to leave:-D

You don't dip the vehicle in the bar and chain oil, it is just sprayed on, no dripping off anywhere, but do what you like:wink:

Having them grooved is an option, but it might be hard to find a place that has a grooving gun to do it with. I saw a deuce recently that had grooved NDTs on it, it was either out a Frankfort or on ebay. Studding would be an option if you had a second set of tires to run in the summer, but...

Wrapping the lines around anything to increase the heat before it enters the heater core circumvents the purpose of the thermostat; to keep the water in the cooling system from reaching high temps and building pressure as steam, blowing the cooling system to the moon and melting down the engine...

Or risk turning the heater core into an in cab steam bomb.

The reason I mentioned the chain laws is that I am pretty sure that Michigan is a state that does not allow them. You could make up a set to have just for emergencies. they are pretty expensive to buy. If you cannot afford tires your best bet would be to knock her down to singles and lower the...

I have seen a few leave on goosenecks pulled by 3/4 or 1 tons. I would do it as long as the trailer had brakes. The main problem I see is when DOT pulls in behind him and checks for a CDL because he is hauling over 10 K trailer weight.:wink:

The best option if you want to keep your NDT is to buy a set of winter tires. The problem with the NDT is the smooth flat band of rubber down the middle. The tire curves from there upwards when it is making contact with the ground so the actual tread cut does not make much contact with a hard...

I am only 8 days out, but it still has not been sent to battle creek yet, so I guess the clock really doesn't start until then.

Another example is my wife's family farm in Vermont. When I-89 went through in the 50s they offered her grandfather 1500.00 an acre for the land the interstate would be taken up. He refused because the town had a meeting and everybody was going to hold out for a higher offer. The bulldozers just...

They are not listed. If you read the "why did they pull all the M35A2s" thread a member received a correspondence from DRMS which stated that the have been recoded as F (must be destroyed) Apparently they are discussing:roll: the situation

Email for demil program office is: dlacontactcenter@dla.mil

I would like to know if that means that all EUCs on them are on hold?
