    Urgent need of tow bar! My Deuce is broke near Seguin, Texas.

    If you want to come into downtown Houston, you are welcome to borrow mine. Note that most of the ACE hardware stores have good solid 1" OD, 3/4" ID bushings that are just the right length to use with 3/4" pins in the 1" holes.

    WB-57 - A Cold War relic but still flying

    One of my friends at NASA is a back seater for the WB-57s. He was loaned to the Air Force and stationed in Saudi Arabia for about a year in the second gulf war (2003) along with the WB-57 that usually lives at JSC. (Most of the pilots are Air Force on loan to NASA, so it was an interesting...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    I've got the same setup on my deuce, and have the same rubbing, slightly worse on one side then the other. I did a little investigating with re-painting the bolt heads and am 95% sure rubbing only occurs during full lock turns, which will leave the rear tandems visibly misaligned (sight along...

    Anyone know where I can Locate information on a MWO ?

    TMs for M917 dump body Or not, maybe a moderator can add these (they came from Logsa {which appears to open to everyone again, Yaaa!}, liberated manuals, and a google scan; all appear to be unlimited distribution). The lube order is just a partial, all the other versions of it I found only let...

    What Model is This and would I need a CDL in Texas to drive it?

    ke5eua, I have to respecfully disagree with your statement. From the TxDOT Commercial Driver's License handbook - Different Classes of Commercial Driver Licenses There are three (3) basic types or classes of Commercial Driver Licenses. They are described below. For further information, refer...

    What Model is This and would I need a CDL in Texas to drive it?

    And know that if you want to pull a trailer that is rated to more then 10,000 lbs that will bump the license requirement from Class B to Class A. mkcoen - Do any of the RV places rent (and you'll need a driver) for the tests? I know there are some truck rental places here in Houston that will...

    front hub smoking.

    Erik's for parts. Or NAPA or a bearing supplier may have some of the parts. Here are some useful threads. Since you have to open up the hub, it's a good idea to do a general maintenance while you are in there. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?8460-Front-axle-seals-and-boots-stepXstep...

    How to turn up the air.

    The only time I run out of air with my air assist is when parking the truck in its spot in the back yard, there is a bunch of lock to lock back and forth to get it tucked into place, all with the truck basically at idle. A couple of times I've used low range and run it mostly at higher RPM and...
