    Heated fuel tank project, biodiesel, WVO..

    Guys, here's a calculator that may help you work out what blends of biodiesel you can use at certain temperatures: http://www.duffscience.com/biodiesel/biodiesel_calculation.htm

    Deuce on the GL - Is it really worth this much?

    A mile! You lucky dog! The eight hours home from Ohio to Virginia on the interstate were...interesting.

    General Officer's Shop Van on GL

    Went for $4k. I wonder how "picked over" it could get while waiting for the buyer's EUC. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=620292

    Deuce Crew Cab and stuff...

    Thanks for the information! I've been researching taking the truck back to the 24087 OD to make things look a little less militant, and haven't paged through the more recent manual.

    Deuce Crew Cab and stuff...

    JWC, Nice photo editing! Stretch limo for a wedding, perhaps? Could someone identify the colors/pattern used on JWC's cab for me? My WV Army National Guard has it too. (Well, mostly. There are some large red oxide primer patches as well - or perhaps 'fall camouflage'?) Warmest Regards,

    Considering a deuce

    I'm a happy customer of Eric's (http://www.miltrucks.com/) also. He's got a "real" job, so isn't as available to show the vehicles during the week, but is pleased to talk on the phone about them. The trucks are at his parent's home and he might let you take a look at them with his dad (whose...

    I think St. Juliens is in the Newport News/Norfolk direction from the mountains. When your fording kit doesn't do the job anymore, you've gone a little too far...

    Chains, Cables and NDTs

    Well, on this page ( http://www.tirechain.com/9.00-20.htm ) the tire cables are less expensive and most likely weigh less than comparable cables. The new MILSPEC items I've seen are yet more expensive. As I don't have the square-edged profile of standard over-the-road tires, and won't be...

    Chains, Cables and NDTs

    While this may sound like a weekend fantasy to some of you, I'm simply thinking ahead to winter. I hear the NDTs don't fare well in light snow/ice, which is what I mostly expect here. I'm still dual wheeled in the rear, wearing 9 x 20" NDTs all around, and am unlikely to venture off-road with...

    Distilled water - great idea! Thanks Bjorn! The truck may just live to visit you someday.

    Scouts on a Deuce

    Had a great time on my trip! Drove about two hours "topless" for the first time and had a blast on the backroads. I DID have the directions fly out of the cab at one point and had to pull over quickly to retrieve them!! Engine temp still got up to 220 at times with the thermostat pulled, but...

    How many gallons?

    Any opinions on what an M109 shop van might require?

    Coolant system filter

    I'll be installing one. I put two bottles of Prestone cooling system treatment and tap water in the system before my two hour drive to scout camp, and what is in there now looks like chocolate milk or Mississippi riverwater. Ugh!

    Scouts on a Deuce

    I'm headed off to the Boy Scout camp for the boys of the Washington, DC area tomorrow for four days with my Dad, who is chaperoning a contingent. http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/pages/179_camp_olmsted.cfm I'll be rolling through Elwenil's stomping grounds and hope to stop and see him on the way...
