    can old diesel be saved?

    A bit of tubing and a long piece of brass tube to siphon out the bottom of the tank is a good idea. You can get up bits of crud as well as water off the bottom of the tank that way and make it far cleaner. Ideally, a pump with a filter attached that pulls fuel from and then dumps back to the...

    tranny lube?

    More specifically with regards to the yellow metal issues, is that the high pressure additives have a particluar type of sulfur compound that attacks bronze/brass/copper that are in some older bearing designs (or the synchros on the deuce transmission) and will eventually destroy those...

    newbie got her home!

    You can hook an air compressor up to one of the front gladhands and air up the system to get pressure to check the brakes first. Then you can try pulling it to see if the engine is free. Can the engine not be turned over by hand?

    Seems like a roller bearing would have been a good idea there for that gear.

    Trailer/Tent Project ideas...

    Oh, the number of people to be served by this setup is 2-3. Basically, if I'm at an event and I don't have my armor, it'll be ideal, or it'll be a good way to have the Deuce have a base station at an event (MV or otherwise). I wonder if I could integrate a heater into this setup....?

    Trailer/Tent Project ideas...

    So, after I finish sorting out the M514 trailer with the radar system on it, I'll have another trailer with not enough military parts on it to be original. So, I figure, it'll be good to see about keeping it as a camping trailer. Just so you know what I'm talking about, here's the gallery of...

    Front lockout light

    Ok, I know what's going on here. That switch setup appears to be kind of funky. You need a brake air pressure switch installed, (add a 90° fitting so it's pointing forwards. You'll need a few wire connectors. Your existing wire should be plugged into the pressure switch, then another from the...

    M756 Pipeline Bed install /redneck engineering

    You guys need some armored vehicles. Then no-one will complain. Would YOU bitch to a neighbor that had a "tank" parked on the street?

    Thought on tires vs power vs...etc

    I think that regardless of how you configure the truck, you're better off driving these trucks with lots of room out front of you. What I did like about the trip is that I rarely had anyone slow in front of me. I think I must have passed two people on the way back. Of course, there is the...

    Another LDT with Windows.

    Kenny, I just looked at your photos again. Why am I suddenly reminded of Star Trek scenes where Kirk is romancing the leading lady of the episode?

    Reminder to be safe

    This reinforces my concern with energy storing straps and cables. Hmm, gotta start thinking about saving for some Blue Steel rope.

    Another LDT with Windows.

    Umm, why would one operation blow six in a row? Are they wringing the nuts off of them? What makes an engine like this blow a rod like that?

    CB Antenna kits?

    In Civil Defense matters, the smart military commanders (as well as civilian emergency responders) will hook up with local CB and HAM users in order to widen their information net and expand their ability to deal with the problem.
