    Geneva FL: July 4th Parade 9AM on Thursday 7/4

    I know what grits are, but the "bowel" thing is a bit disturbing.

    2013 Cincinnati / N. KY 4th of July Parade -Edgewood KY 9:30am

    Yes it rained on the parade. But it didn't dampen the spirits one bit. Happy Independence Day America!! Truck count was 5 deuces and 3 939 series.

    Jeff- I plan on being there. If anyone else is heading down from the southwest Ohio area, let's run together.

    Anyone Near Wright-Patterson??

    I am sure I can move it if you want :-P. Just say when. Snatch blocks are handy.

    Oil coming out of water reservoir overflow

    My oil cooler failed on my m932 with 600 miles on it. And that's not a rebuild, but original miles. The oil cooler housing is held to the engine block with 4 bolts. The first time I installed the housing, the gasket slipped out of place and did not seal. A tip is to take 2 bolts that are at...

    Oil coming out of water reservoir overflow

    Replacing the oil cooler isn't too difficult of a job. It's flushing the cooling system that's a real pain.

    Oops. this one might be stuck for a while

    No yelling was involved. The most difficult part of the extraction was getting everyone else to quit yelling useless suggestions. Once we were able to direct the 16 year old deuce driver to only listen to certain individuals, it went very smoothly. Too bad no video of this is known to exist. I...

    Oops. this one might be stuck for a while

    We were told by numerous people that we would not be able to extract said M818 without a winch. We prevailed, and made astounded believers out of them.

    We consume mass quantities of Diet Sundrop, Diet Mtn Dew, and my favorite Diet Citrus Drop from Kroger.

    Gave my M923A2 a fresh paint job...

    That turned out looking great. How many gallons did it take??? You will love the LED headlights.

    2013 Haspin summer rally multimedia thread

    I really like the way your off-road lights pierce the darkness. I am wanting to add something to the front of my tractor. Is it just me or are the night time videos just the coolest thing??? For whatever reason, I have always liked night rides the best. We have done them in Georgia with just...

    Transmission cooler for M939 series trucks, anyone done this ?

    If the engine stayed cool, the fan actuator was likely not engaged due to the temp not being high enough. If this is the case, a remedy would be to install the 2 bolts which lock the fan to the pulley, bypassing the air clutch. The fan runs all the time. Just remove and stow the bolts at the...

    2013 Haspin summer rally multimedia thread

    I managed to resist the temptation of taking the 932 out on the trails Friday, and early Saturday. But after riding in the back of a M35A3 and the cab of another 932, I just couldn't take it any more. I saw them lining up at the shelter for a trail ride, and felt the uncontrollable urge to...

    Locking Hubs for 5 Ton trucks

    If there is enough interest, could it make them affordable??? I would like to have a set. I also would like some hub steps- round knurled cages that would bolt on the drive hubs. I saw some a long time ago, might have been for deuces.

    My new 932A1 Acquisition and Conversion to 925A1 short bed.

    You should really like the end product. The 5 ton dropside bed installed on my 932A1 is approx. 9.5 feet long. We have been calling these vehicles "Trucktors". I prefer the 5 ton bed for the tail light pockets, and the way the front of the bed is permanemtly fixed. Adds strength. Be sure to keep...

    Truck mounted shelter grounding questions

    I would leave it as it is. That will teach dogs and humans to not urinate on your vehicles.

    Can "clearance lights" be used as turn signals/flashers?

    Maybe consider that the marker lights are only a single filament bulb, as opposed to a brake light or turn signal bulb which is dual filament. Whatever you do, just try not to let the smoke out of the wiring.
