    Heads Up Florida! New DMV definition coming!

    SUBSCRIBED and Actively Observing from Texas. This is why every American High School student should be required to pass a civics curriculum AND understand how Municipal, State, and Federal government works. Thank you for your civic activism. Watching :popcorn:

    Checking on getting some military oriented air fresheners. Need input.

    I am reminded of the Marine who put ODOR EATERS in the insoles of his combat boots. Three paces later he disappeared. Carry on.

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    Thanks for that input, tractors0130. I added the BOLD and UNDERLINED condition into the quote above. I should have included that detail originally. The fuel lines simply do not hold pressure, seemingly indicating leakage somewhere else.

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    Finally finding time to tinker with the XM818. With new batteries in her all the electrical seems A-OK. Even confirmed she has power to the Fuel Solenoid. So now chasing the fuel system. The EMERGENCY Fuel Cut-Off Cable and Valve are both functioning properly and I've confirmed the Fuel...

    Supplies for a Long Trip

    You've already found a good Soldier B in 98G (John). I'd also recommend that you check the Member Map and make contact with folks along your route in case roadside assistance or a safe harbor becomes necessary. Vaya con Dios !

    Helpful Reminders & Tips - Driving/Owning MVs - To Other Newbies

    BRAKING DISTANCE: If you are unaccustomed to large, old-design vehicles (i.e.: Vietnam and prior vintage models) you will quickly learn that they DO NOT stop-on-a-dime (or even on a quarter) unless you plan ahead.... like a $1.38 ahead if you plan on hitting that dime. HIGH CG: These vehicles...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    Thanks, Gimp. I didn't catch that in the pics. "Grape" minds think alike, huh?

    Show us your Military Trailers

    You seem to have a very well thought out design there. I see just one place where I would suggest improvement.... The nut atop the threaded post the captures the Lunette Ring is your "single point of failure" and with vibration can loosen in spite of the lock washer you've employed. Lock...

    Just a reminder for Newbe's

    If the tranny is in a forward gear and it's bumped from the front, the engine could run "backwards" and the truck runaway "in reverse" - to the REAR. If the tranny is in REVERSE and it's bumped from the rear, the engine would be "push started" and run "backwards" causing the truck to go FORWARD...

    2016 TX MV Rally

    I had hoped to be able to make it to this year's Texas Rally. But you can be sure I have trusted God to light my path and guide my steps. On one hand, I am sadly announcing that I will NOT be coming, HOWEVER...... On relatively short notice Dianna and I have been invited, along with several...
