    That is the ether start a metered shot of it for starting They installed these in lieu of a flame heater you should have a button on the dash to sent a shot of starting fluid into the intake manifold.

    Just a little ticked off.....

    Wow that is the worst hick up I have heard about I can attest to your being a long time member as I remember reading some of your posts long ago. I would PM Mike Mangus to see if you can straighten it out. I may be missing something too as I have not found the member map......

    Found German tank

    I saw this before and it is very incredible. I love the Russians for helping beat back the Nazi hordes and they paid a much greater human toll than we did.

    Vietnam era Huey..what's it worth?

    Wow buy it if you can and for sure keep us updated. I would think it would take a fortune to re-certify it for flight status. Helicopters are a symbol of making it in the technological world. They do not even make them here in Korea. I was just discussing this with a retired ROK colonel and...

    M818x3+872+447c=long trip

    Those are great prices for M818 tractors the benefits of a mass listing allowed me to get my M127 for $400.00 with all the sideboards. It is a pig compared to the M872 but it is my pig so like a Thailand farmer I am happy. Speaking of Thailand I got a Thai massage this week and are they...

    M818x3+872+447c=long trip

    Awesome I cut my teeth on M872 trailers and have amazed people by what a company of sixty tractors and 120 trailers could do cleared yards days in advance of planning and out hauled PLS trucks by a factor of five. They just plain rock. I could haul a Bradley Fighting Vehicle on it if I put...

    M813A1 Rear Wheel Tracks

    The track for trucks was often used by the 101st Airborne they are not like the armored vehicle track but a rubber set that is tightened in between to duels to keep them on. I don't think the tires will hold up well to that track as armored vehicles often shed chunks of road wheels from...

    Killed my alternator

    I think my duece alternator is on it's way out it has to run high RPM to get into the green. I know my alternator on the M818 is bad and it is getting me thinking I need to look into highly reliable commerical updated ones that crank out more current for a big rig. I like original but like LED...

    M796 Bolster trailer

    It weighs over four Thousand and can haul eight thousand for a combined twelve thousand gross. I had at least that on it will four foot diameter oak logs as long as the trailer stacked up three high.

    M796 Bolster trailer

    I have one and I picked it up with my Suburban and it towed very easily with the super single tires that said it tows much better with the duece. They are nice trailers they were used to haul pipe for the engineers. I have used mine to haul huge oak trees to the sawyer. They have removable...

    Maryland SS Chapter

    I can remember when Fort Meade really was a Fort and got to shoot many weapons in the place now liberalized for tree huggers. Maryland's antigun attitudes are sprung from the whooses that hate freedom. I sure miss my heritage growing up on 640 acres of prime Illlinois farmland with over a...

    Maryland SS Chapter

    I would invite you all to attend the first one in Korea.... well that is out but I am excited about this when I finally get home. I think a park, forest preserve, or American Legion or VFW would be a good ride along experience for the old vets that inhabit them to get them away from the bar...

    MKT-85 Recovery (Ft Meade)

    They are for a fly that goes out over the ends of the trailer we often had barrels of hot water with an emersion heater going in it containing cans of what ever the cooks wanted us to take hot like a ughhh lunch bucket lazzagna(LBL) I can not eat another one of those after the MRE ban in...

    bad night plowing m1009

    We have grenaded spiders on the rocks at Rauch Creek in my son's POC dana 35 once fixed he snapped the axle so it now rides on a FF Corp 14 bolt 1 ton axle. Perhaps with plowing you would want to put in a Dana 60 or better.

    Spining Turbo

    Hope you find out it is just a good set of ears you have. Did you visit the Ziggerat in your avatar? I was there a few times when I was in Southern Iraq.

    Greetings from MD

    I think I would rent a car hauling trailer from U-haul if you are going to tow it that would make it a lot easier to tow and then just drop the trailer back at your Frederick U-haul. I have flat towed quite a few trucks and in my opinion nothing beats having them on a trailer. Yes I sure hope...

    Steel Soldiers 2009 Florida Rally... Its on!

    Well I bought my couples tickets today with the hope of two things. 1. I get promoted effective the day I was assigned to this colonel slot 2. The Army holds to my retirement date and I get to attend this as a retired colonel. If this does not happen then I guess I will either not get...

    Spining Turbo

    You have better ears than I do as far as I know the Army told us to idle all trucks for five minutes before shut down to allow the turbo to slow down are you following this guidance? I think they all free wheel for a few seconds and the way to tell is a solid wooden dowel pressed to the turbo...
