Installed new flasher on my M35A2, now the directional work only the first turn, but then it doesn't flash. Cleaned thre ground connector, fender contact area and washer surfaces bright and no difference...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
So that's good.found out how much coolant can come out of a bad radiator cap.... got a new one from Napa... 7$
figured out where the hissing was coming from, need to work on air line to horn, guess some copper work is in order.
Is that a flare end or compression fitting? (I'm thinking its a flare fitting, but I'll look into it).
Took the wife for a ride (first time), she liked it and said the ride was way smoother than she expected.
So, I got to put a few miles on the deuce, so that's a good thing....![]()
I understood they "self leveled" to a point if over filled... I've seen it push from the overflow tube out the bottom.So that's good.
All of your missing coolant was coming out of the cap? Was there no indication that the coolant was being pushed out there?
Nice modification but I'd be concerned what the heat will do to those pistons.I got tired of fighting my hood. I painted and installed one of BBQRODs hood support kits today. The kit is well designed and installation was simple. It came with a solid coating of primer and everything necessary for installation, he even included a pull down cable. I don't have any trouble just grabbing it from the side and pulling down while I move around to the front, but the cable is a nice touch. See hood kit thread here. No more climbing up and tying the hood to my front M66 support leg before I do anything in the engine compartment. This is definitely a worthwhile mod.
Thats really cool, you used a deuce for something it was designed to do. All I did this weekend was take mine on a 1hr long shakedown cruise before I start my adventure to SC with it in a few weeks.What did I do. Well I drove it about 45min away. Then back into the woods. Loaded the deuce and the 105 trailer with firewood then made the drive back. I was surprised at how well it climbed a hill. When I backed down the hill to one of the trees I was thinking I would have to winch it back up the hill.
Did have a stick bent the throttle rod. Easy fix just bent it back.
I also learned when breaking a lot to back down the hill the air compressor will not keep up with the engine at idle. Thought I busted an air line. As it was I just had not power breaks on a big hill.
I do believe they will be fine. extreme cold on the other hand 5 or 10 degrees below 0* might be an issue. But for piece of mind I'm working on a extension for the M66 support leg. I will send it with all the new kits and send it to the guys that have already purchased one. If you watch the videos closely the hood goes up by itself. Just like your Tahoe and Suburban rear lift gates, its hard not to feel like your in a mouse trap.Nice modification but I'd be concerned what the heat will do to those pistons.
Hood flew open at 40 MPH , the center latch was bent and not catching consistently, which I ignored, and I forgot to fasten the two side hold down devices. The hood is bent but closes sufficiently. I ordered two new side fasteners and will repair the center latch.
While it may in fact "suck", we cannot deny that THIS WAS PREVENTABLE with the simplest of SAFETY MEASURES. Even the TMs specify a WALK AROUND INSPECTION and DO NOT OPERATE an UNSAFE VEHICLE.Oh that sucks!
