air line Back in 2002 I was making a 4,000 mile trip in the deuce. Not so smart in a 30 year old truck, but hey, that's me, not so smart. On the return leg I was driving through BFE (Nowhere, west Texas) and I had a catastrophic fuel line failure. Two fuel lines had been chafing together for...

V-100 TM's Trigger, there are a couple of people on this forum who are really into V-100's. I am good friends with one of them. I'll let him know what you are looking for and he probably has it. The bad news is that if he takes them to Kinko's it's going to cost you so much per page. Are you...

M809 air filter Well, after exhaustive research I discovered that no civvy equivalent exists for the M809 series air filter. I could have saved several hours by searching and reading (and trusting!) the topic on Steel Soldiers. This is what I have discovered; the research has already been done...

GMA cover Mark, a brand new vinyl cover cost me $183.58 from GMA delivered to my door. I bought the 3 color (SCAPP) top. GMA sells (I think) the tan cover and the solid green cover. There are a couple of guys who buy these tops in bulk and then resell them for a mark up. Hey, everyone has to...

Turbo in a non-turbo I've been meaning to ask this question for some time now. The reason I did not ask it before is because I was worried that you may think I'm an idiot. Well, I'm not worried about that any more, after the posts I've made in the last couple of weeks, everybody knows i'm an...

You know, when I saw your SS name, I thought to myself that you must be crazy. Now that you've posted photo's of your MV, everything is explained! Why don't you paint it green? Ohhhh.... Then your name wouldn't have the same ring to it! Anyhoo, I've been running a 12,000 pound MileMarker...

m-35tom, are you the guy who built the M35A8 a couple of years ago? If so, I was curious how many man hours you put into that beast? If you valued your work at one dollar an hour, wouldn't yours have been a $60,000 dollar deuce? If no-one understands what I'm talking about, perhaps you could...

RE: tranny tips Mike, you are way ahead of me. Just like everyone else! -Sarge (in the slow lane)

I'm not familiar with MILSPRAY, but I'm very familiar with Gillespie. Gillespie is an excellent paint. As Kenny pointed out, it has a much smoother texture than CARC, but 34094? That's not a CARC colour is it? An 86 Mustang? That's ahhh... an interesting MV, ahhh..... I tried to look at your...

tranny tips Mike, since you are new to deuces, I don't know if you are familiar with swapping a deuce tranny or not. I have swapped a bunch of them. In the motor pool we had all manner of great tranny swapping equipment but in the field we had very little. I'll assume you don't have access to a...

Deuce stuck Yeah, seen this one many times before. It happened to me again in January when I picked up my new deuce. You say you released the e-brake? How? By pushing the handle down? When these old trucks sit for months or years with the emergency parking brake on, they often stick the brake...

Mystery vehicle Medlog, O great Karnac, here is a question for you.... I bought an ultra top-secret project vehicle a couple of years ago. It has not made it's debut yet to Steel Soldiers nor to my fellow club members of the Lone Star MVPA chapter. The US Army serial number NP01JF was marked on...

Hello new guy! Welcome to steel Soldiers! I am also a member of HMVF, but I'm sure that the reason they directed you here is because of your future vehicle choice. HMVF is very much centered around WWII, similar to the US G503 forum. I'm not saying anything negative about HMVF, they are an...

TM's I have all of them. You heard right, I have all of them. Okay.... I'll be more specific, I have every single unlimited distribution TM on Logsa. That's somewhere around 12,000 TM's in .pdf format. A couple of years ago, I got bored and downloaded every single unclassified TM on their site...

Tony, you’re in luck, I just found all of the info about the inner tubes. I was researching them about 18 months ago because I needed 9 of them for my M1003. I asked the question on Steel Soldiers, pretty much just “Where can I get them? And how much will I pay?” Well, I got a lot of replies and...

You Sir, are a thief. However, I'm willing to help you out here...... hee-hee! -Sarge (Honestly, great deal!)

Tubes? Flaps? Runflats? What are you exactly looking for? I have a source of supply for inner tubes, the bad news is that 16:00/18:00 tubes cost around $60 each! A couple of guys told me that they had a cheaper source, but they never came through with the info. Let me know if it's tubes you're...

715 transplants Thank you Will, I did not recognize it under all that gunk! About V8 swaps, I have seen Barrman's setup, it is superbly done. Here is the perfect motor for a 715, it is an air-cooled Deutz Diesel V12 twin-turbo. Unfortunately, I don't think it will even fit in the 715 bed. It...

I bought a 1992 Dodge 1 ton with the Cummins 6BT turbo-diesel to stick in one of my 715's. I wanted to make that 715 a daily driver and I figured that the 6BT was powerful enough and economical enough to use. Now, where did I put my shoehorn? I'm probably going to need a BFH to use on the...

Two types of DOT 5 Okay, I'll try to jump in here and confuse the issue. There are two types of DOT5, NAPA carries them both. There is DOT 5 which is a silicone based product. It is the only brake fluid used in military tactical vehicles since the 80's. There is also DOT5.1 which is not used...
