    another MV threatened by code enforcement

    Funny you should mention living on base, I felt I had more freedom and less eyes watching me when living on a base than living in a HOA. Some of us got bit by the MV bug well after moving to a socialist HOA. It seems that you don't think about it until you are "targetted". I found that bored...

    Why so little power?

    You can get a Cummins ISX in 400-600hp tune with 1400-2000lbs of torque. It will outpull a duramax, but it might be a little too big for a chebby pickup. 8-)

    Question about what oil to run in my deuce?

    If you buy oil in 5 gal pails, anything 15w40. For gallons, I like Delo because the bottle is so much neater and easier to pour (huge handle, and spout designed to limit the glug, glug, glug, dammit I spilt oil everywhere). The foil seal for the bottle even has a pull tab. No thanks on the...

    "How to" section

    Yes, a good idea since TMs don't show many of the potential difficulties we all run into.

    M35A2 Oil change

    No. It just holds everthing (washer & spring) in the can for when you loosen the bolt and lift the can assembly off for a filter change. I always lift the filter and can up and off together carefully with my fingers anyways when doing this. No cotter pin needed.

    Recovery? Lost...... or Stolen from Ft. Indiantown Gap PA.

    Meh, it was gettin hot in here fire fighter. Needed distraction ;). I think very visible cameras, fake or real would deter some of this theft at the various sites. Also, a big scary sign stating theft of govt property is a federal crime punishable by ... Who knows?

    Recovery? Lost...... or Stolen from Ft. Indiantown Gap PA.

    Heh, ever been to my neighborhood? :) I understand the point you are trying to make, but I chuckled at your statements here. I do not intend to derail the thread, but I live in perhaps THE WORST busybody, soccer mom/baby factory HOA community you could ever imagine. I've had exactly what you...

    Caution with loadouts!

    Wow, I was just going to say that Chambersburg PA was the only site where the GL guy there absolutely refused to help in any capacity. The smug jerk just stood there, and no amount of being nice was going to make him move. You had to have been there to believe it, really. All of the other...

    Zinc removed from oil?

    I wouldn't worry about it. Apparently, the zinc is still there in the new CJ 15w40 oils, just in lesser amounts. I think I recall that new Delo has 1300ppm+ Old Delo CI stuff had 1500ppm+. New Rotella T 15w40 has somewhat less.

    Deuce life expectancy.

    Lonegunman, some folks with A2s probably do have over 100,000 on two rebuilds and just don't know it. One thing I've learned about all of our MVs is that the guages suck, and are an estimate at best (maybe not - replaced several times during the trucks lifetime). Then again some were almost...

    M35a2 fuel in oil

    I think I'd go with the former explanation. This was crazy overfull.
