    New truck, Time to hide from the wife...

    Uh oh, Seems I went and won a M109 at Ft Jackson today. I had to, it went for a decent price and when I went to look at the other M35s they had, the guy there had to move this truck so I got to see it run and drive. Purrs like a kitten. Now I have to break it to momma that I got another big...

    My dad's new FMTV...

    Get a bullet in the tranny of a deuce- drive until it grinds to a hault. Get a bullet in the tranny of an FMTV- it grinds to a hault. Boo technology. I'm with those that say it better run when it's needed, and all that nice comfy crude is what will keep something from running if it goes bad...

    Hmmm,something fishy here

    RE: Re: RE: Hmmm,something fishy here Yes. Mine no go no more. Well, no, it still goes. But if I add up the cost of all the parts to fix it up right I could just get a whole truck. I've found several major issues with the front end that need to be addressed, the hydraulic head on my IP is...

    Hmmm,something fishy here

    Well, at least you remembered the day the auctions closed. I thought it was today. aua So I didn't win squat. But fishy for me, is that my closed watchlist shows only 3 lots, none of the trucks that went up yesterday. Now I have to sit around and wait for somemore trucks to come up for...

    M101 Tire Changing

    Yes, I just had to take mine off to run Mangus's M37 up to him, and I found out they are just like on a deuce or M37, tighten to the front, loosen to the rear. That's how I remember it anyway. Unless your M101 is the updated one with CUCV wheels, then I'm not sure...

    Horn button question

    I have this same button, but lately I've been having trouble with my horn just going off whenever it feels like it. I think there is a ground in the wire from the button to the horn solenoid, but I have yet to find it. With Aberdeen coming up, I may just run a new wire, after I take the steering...

    tire inspection, and a note from the depot....

    Two of my inside tires were that way, I drove to Aberdeen last year on one of them. (bad Ferro!!!) :oops: The tube has a tendency to rotate within the tire when no air pressure is inside it holding it fast to the walls of the tire and rim. Which will drag the valve stem inside. Somehow. Mine...

    PYRO-maniac

    Yes, I'm a maniac. I've been needing (er, wanting) a pyro for sometime, so I finally ordered one and installed it today. Ordered it from Diesel Manor, and it arrived fine. I did ask for a 24vdc one, but got a 12vdc instead. I needed it for this weekend, so I installed it anyway, just ran a wire...

    Air hose connection

    I just use a glad hand with a quick connect on it, then two 25ft hoses together with another quick connect on the end of the hose. Hook it to the emergency air line on the back of the deuce, then I can reach anywhere on the front, and even to the rear of the M146 hooked to the deuce. Its a good...

    March 2009, SC gathering?

    Joe, if we get too big to hold it at your place, I just bought a nice spot outside Ridgeway, 10min from I-77. It has a mile of trails, not all big enough for a deuce though. But a 10acre open field to have a gathering in. And 62 acres to explore. Just a thought. But pissing off your deuce...

    Unplanned 450 mile deuce trip

    2004. It was the transfer pump, apparently 2003-2004 dodge diesels had a fault prone transfer pump mounted on the fuel filter housing. 2005 and up had a new almost flawless intank pump. The dealer is installing the new pump with an adapter. Too bad its not a warrenty issue. $900 to get it fixed...
