Thank you for serving! :-) Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy! :cookoo:

Murdock, A couple questions: Is is possible for you to acquire the engine parts from another source? Why tear apart an engine that already fired up and is at least partly known good?

I installed dual Interstate MTP-24's in my M1009 a couple of years ago. They are 800 CCA beasts. I don't have to deal with -20F or colder in sunny Florida, though.

You also get an auto transmission with the 5 ton. There's plenty of 'cool factor' with the M934/M935 trucks.

silverstate55, I REALLY wanted to snap a couple of pictures of the M113 and MRAP, but I was coordinating a parade entry that combined Steel Soldiers members and the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum. There was too much stuff happening all at once, and I didn't get a chance to take pictures. :-(...

Murdock, Starting out with a M1009 is a great introduction to diesels, and auto mechanics in general. Buying a Deuce first is biting off more than you can chew if you don't have any experience working on 14,000 lb trucks with multi-fuel engines. You are wise beyond your years. I am SO PROUD...

This weekend, I participated in the DeLand FL Veteran's Day Parade. The Volusia County Sheriff Department has a M113 with rubber tracks and a MRAP. It was cool to see both of them in the parade! :-) It's too bad our entry in the parade was so far away from the MRAP. I'd have loved to poke my...

More pictures!

The parade, convoy, and cookout was AWESOME!! We had 9 vehicles total - 7 Steel Soldiers and the DNAS Museum jeep. I appreciate everyone that joined in the fun! :-). I got the opportunity to tow the DNAS Museum's 1938 40mm gun with my M1009! :-) I took a bunch of pictures at the parade lineup.

Thanks for posting this! I sent the information to a fellow Extra class holder friend of mine. He has a M37 with a communication shelter loaded with functioning mil radios.

They look great, Lindsay! Looking forward to seeing you! :-)

Bump.

That sucks big time. :-( The unfortunate experience you are having is the primary reason I don't let anyone borrow any of my vehicles. I'm even hesitant about authorizing my mechanic to take my cars and trucks for test drives.

I have highfavor on my list. I don't have the Pigman.

Good! :-) I was thinking only 3 or 4 people would show up.

No Oddball, Steve6x6x6, DodgeMan, or Phil. :-( Phooey.

I just got word from my contact at the DNAS Museum. He wants us to arrive at the Museum by 8:30AM so we can leave at 9AM to convoy to the parade lineup location.

Lindsay - I'm glad you can make it to the parade. Too bad you can't make it to the cookout. :-(
