Well the Army is just about void of the steel ones anymore and we have had to live with the green fuel cans and the tan and black water cans for at least the last ten years. I like them mainly because they do not rust and they can take a bump without denting. The black water ones make for a...

I tend to think that the basic PMCS is good enough for the drive home. I had a brakeline pinhole like that on my Suburban but it was right after a panic stop due to a dude pulling out in front of me without looking. It is one of those things we need to be prepared for and thus is why I drive...

Funny thing is I packed two empty ones with fuel residue in my baggage to fly to Baton Rouge last week and they made it through the TSA screening. The spout was in there too and it leaked a little diesel and it still flew all the way from BWI to BR without problems. I wanted the insurance of...

Adam: The dolly brakes work if you have the trailer towing it and take it easy that should help a lot. I know the problems of trying to stop a trailer with just truck and dolly brakes but if you drive carefully it should not be a problem. I know that dolly is up to the task just a thought...

I have tried all four ways but the bottom line is it is best to be legal and always best to be insured. If I am going the way of #4 I always do it in uniform. I too am Stphen and live in Bulgaria

I have a 6.5 TD in my Suburban and the 6.2 in the M1009 I know the milage is about the same for the two even when the CUCV only has a three speed and the Suburban has a four speed. What is it that gains so much horsepower and torque for the Duramax? I do like my L480E in the Suburban and as...

Chuck what would keep you from driving it back? I know the cummins purred all 1,200 miles for us. If the truck is in running condition getting there and doing the PMCS might be better than trying to haul it with the duece. I am quite confident in my duece having used it to haul the M 127 with...

Very Nice: Is the GP Medium in the distance yours too? That is a nice piece of property sounds like you need to host a Steel Soldiers Mud Rally there.

Excellent it was not until they built the new HETS that the Army understood the wisdom of a crew cab. I would really like to see it out in the open and more detail shots of the cab. Very nice fabrication. Did the steering and dash come out of a big truck?

Welcome Bob: I used to live in Washington County PA and still have lots of in laws there in the burg. I am hoping to find an alternator for my M818 too must be the season. I am hoping my boys can pick one up at Aberdeen in May. Have you checked with an auto electric shop about rebuilding it...

I like having one in my duece it looks good and has not had any problems. Do you know if these are from the early issue or the later ones which are better protected against burn out?

Sorry I should have updated this thread I forgot about it being out there. $2500.00 what I think is a pretty good deal since I paid that for it and added a winch and worked on it. The deuce fuel tank is a new one put up there because the two saddle tanks were full of shellac from old fuel. I...

RE: chinook rescue They are quite the ride. I know the feeling of being underneath one waiting to pick up a sling load is quite unnerving. It really helps to know Jesus when one of them is two feet over your head and you are trying to hook the anti-static clip to the helo and hook the sling...

I know the 642nd Engineers had these but they were sitting on the ground. When I was a lieutenant I went to their motorpool to contact them about sufacing our truck motorpool. When I asked if they had tailgate spreaders for their dumps they looked at me like I was from Mars. I walked around...

At least is would be a ready made camper with built in waterbed.... sorry had to do that. It does look cool and if it runs it should find a buyer here on SS. I bet the guys in Texas would like it to complement the 5 ton they use but having just driven an M818 1,200 miles the cost of fuel is...

Very Nice Recovery David: I really like dollys I know Adam used mine to get his trailer but I missed any post on that recovery being in transit with our M818 and heading to and from home now I am back in Korea and trying to read all the emails I missed...

Wow nice truck and wives get over it usually just wait till it snows and it is the only thing that can move. I was glad to see you were a little older the first shot of the two boys I thought wow the Steel Soldiers are getting younger every year.... Did it go to war be nice to find out since...

Wow what I missed must have been bad to make Mike mad, everything I see from WGT makes me want them to work for the Army. I was trying to get AMC to put disposible cameras and a viewer on our UAH's for the gunner with IR capability the problem is the UAH has reached its limit for do dads and...

I bought a single 24 volt battery for my generator it was a bit pricey though. I like the affordable route especially if you have room for two 12 volts.

Great looking grandchild. Pretty good gene pool since it was born with a load of firewood in it too cool. I know the way the duece will climb logs sure made a few agressors panic when I told the gun truck to run over their fighting position at AP Hill. The ran like rats.
