    M116A3 surge brakes on a M105a2

    That would be interesting. Not sure how you would mount it properly, but if bypassing the air assembly, and properly mounted, it might be worth a try. If you confidence was sufficient you could replace the entire piintle assy, I would just hook it up to the brake lines with a "tee" and push it...

    Smart phone app

    I used to be a geek. Today, I'm a dinosaur, my schooling and skills vastly outdated. I can say this though... I applaud all those who seek out and make the best use of advanced technologies. Yet, a smart phone is only as smart as you in your help in programming it, or providing it with the...

    Can't wait for them to close this thread and move on. Amazing how something so simple can turn out to be so complicated. Just Do It!

    Prohibition on active auction links

    No need for this site, nor their owners to risk the Feds breathing down their neck. The use of this site for collusion would be a complete conflict of interest, thus, you cut off the head of the snake before it bites you. IMO, it's a sign of good management... Collusion definition from...

    Help plz stuck in byron

    Yep, front wheels have to be straighened out all right, even if you have to try to drive it in deeper to straighten them. Again, WR Towing can winch it out, but even he might suggest you get those wheels straight, or he might just pull your axle right on off of there if bottomed out and wheels...

    Help plz stuck in byron

    Warner Robins towing can probably haul it out with their winch truck and long cable. I have a M109, but if it is so bad a tow truck can't get in there, not sure it would help any without a winch on it. PM me your cell number and give me your exact location. Do you have any extra long towing...

    Jerry can tool box

    Don, Those things are really cool. One thing to watch out for, at XMAS season sales drop off. It picks back up at the end of Jan when new checks and income taxes come in. I spend my income tax money on green. Half of it anyway. Joyce gets the other half. Let us know the price when you...

    wiring help

    You also run the risk of depleting your 24v batteries in your deuce, unless you charge while the truck is running. I would not do this overnight.

    I hear HAM operators on my computer speakers

    Seeings that it is audio, I would have to agree with ya. It was RF interference I was thinking for shielded speaker wire, and the RF would NOT be demodulated to audio in a wire. Thanks. edit: Oh crud, my brain is fried. The way it works with RFI is, if unshielded cable on a system, high...

    I hear HAM operators on my computer speakers

    These kinds of things can cause subtle degradation in ALL your electronics in the house. You need to do a number of things to eliminate, and even they might not help, but it need be done for safety. Let's assume he is not right next door. First, check you house ground from the main circuit...

    M1101 Brakes locking up?

    I had a crimped handbrake line on one of my trailers. Sometimes the internal line would be snagged inside the brake line corregated sheath and not release. The crimped line was under the trailer and I associate it with forklift damage where it was pinched. Do a thoural exam of the lines...

    The Steel Soldiers 1st Annual Fund Drive Benefiting Our Wounded Veterans

    I'm with ya Don! It is what it is. I guess we can all find fault in any thing under our microscopes if we wish to, but there is goodness in everyone. My favorite thing of all is, going to the grocery store, buying up bags of groceries, and dropping it off on the old sharecropper's house with...

    The Steel Soldiers 1st Annual Fund Drive Benefiting Our Wounded Veterans

    Thank you for the statistics Stalwart. I usually look for these things. I donated and am proud to say I did, but I usually look for less overhead on the expense accounting, and rarely donate more than once after finding out some of the costs of doing business. I try to spread my money around in...

    found a Deuce

    I wouldn't bet that engine is new. Maybe the radiator, but stickers don't mean anything either. If they go in for depot overhaul, they might put in a new odometer or reset it to zero, but that's not the case. They often just steam and paint. It could still be a nice one if I am right, but...

    are bobbed deuce shocks necessary?

    I would think the springs you use would make a heck of a difference. I intend on using M105 springs instead of deuce, and plan on putting in two on each side in a "V" formation for smoothing out the ride. Springs can make it stiff as heck and you can easily go into overkill. If you plan on...

    my bucket list

    I've been retired for over 5 years now and find working on a deuce a labor of love. That's something we all need in our lives. Every time I go out and accomplish something, regardless of how small, and how many bumps and bruises I get, how dirty, how greasy, I walk in the house like "A REAL...
