    The big trip and a new MV.

    The good news is I know this truck runs, upon careful review of the photos on CL, I found that the picture of the dash cluster was with the truck operating. I also noticed that the truck was moved between photos which means not only does it start, but It also can move under its own power. Little...

    The big trip and a new MV.

    Thank you very much. I understand the distracted driver problem well, and its amazing how many there are. I do a lot of towing and am very familiar with the dangers of the interstate when things go wrong. I know this doesn't make me in any way shape or form an expert on MV's, but I feel that...

    Sorry for sounding like a complete idiot, but where do you attach that? Do you fill it with DOT 5? Explain the usage of it if you don't mind. Thanks!

    The big trip and a new MV.

    Thanks for the advice. As the only one who will be driving it, I will stick to day driving, and at night I will nurse my poor buns back to health. We are going to be hitting it during spring break. I am currently looking over the TM's again, and I am trying to figure out what to look for first...

    The big trip and a new MV.

    I am a lurker in these forums, and have for the past 2 years, been saving to purchase my first MV, a M35a2. I have no experience with the deuce, and no experience with MV's in general. In this, I feel my next move is either going to be a great adventure or a dumb mistake, and I have no idea...
