    M105A2 - Pintle Hitch Height

    Even with this mount (same one I use) AND even if you flip the lunette, it will still not sit "level". I even removed the bottom five springs in the pack and it still sits slightly nose down. Until you connect it to the deuce, then it sits just right. :) My Duramax GMC tows it just fine, I...

    Towing a deuce

    Having a driver is no more illegal than exceding the weight limit. I think they both are ticketable offenses. Seems odd that we applaud 'gettin it done' when we grossly overload trailers, but just trying to move a truck a few miles is insane. Plenty of 'get er done' threads on getting M105s...

    Towing a deuce

    If you had a driver for the deuce and it had good brakes you could "move'" it successfully from one location to another. Provided the road conditions were right and each driver had a decent amount of common sense and teamwork. If I were broke down (say engine related) a short distance from...

    60 days gl wait normal?

    You can't really say "GL" and "normal" in the same sentance.

    surplus helicopters?

    I know where there is a tail section of a H53 Alpha. Low, low hours. When it crashed she was near new.

    well... shes dead.

    Could be the vibration he's been feeling. Or maybe one of the alt bearings went bad and left unattended caused the other to go. Both left unrepaired caused the blets to get tossed, taking off the cap and then she just overheated. Pretty much what Jim said, but with DHs balancer idea tossed in.

    Lucas oil additive

    I feel that you are trying (for some strange reason) to pressure me NOT to use an additive. Saying things like the OEMs would use it or the gov would mandate it come across as peer pressure. You posted up some guys website that said it was bunk, I posted up some guys website that says...

    Lucas oil additive

    I don't need to "justify" my wanting to use (I ordered online so I haven't actually got my hands on any) I just have to WANT to. And I can base that WANT just on what I hear other people say, what I read and what I feel. I don't need a lab and I don't need to be swayed by the "if it was any...

    Lucas oil additive

    All through this thread there have been comments to the effect: If it was worth anything, the gov would mandate it, if it was worth anything OEMs would require it, don't listen to that seat of the pants dyno your buddy is running - get lab tests. Yawn, whatever. Those who think like that...

    Lucas oil additive

    We should get side by side comparisons on everything. Toothpaste, houses, what's for dinner, the list goes on and on. No more seat of the pants dyno bull. If the opinion doesn't come from guys in suits and coats in a lab, it's worthless. Wonder if that sushi place is any good? Send in the lab...

    Lucas oil additive

    WOW! Really? Yeah, I read that. I only used that website to try and answer some of your concerns as to why big oil and the government weren't rushing in to save your crankcase. If you really think Slick 50 destroyed your high milage engine, talk to Quaker State - they own Slick 50. Pretty...

    Lucas oil additive

    Do Oil Additives Really Work Another opinion. For every website you post that says an additive doesn't work, I can find one that says they do. This site has a few anwers to why government doesn't mandate them or why OEMs don't require them. Bottom line is I write the checks here and I say...

    Lucas oil additive

    You are an unlucky dude indeed. I've never had throttle stick on anything. My POINT is, I don't blindly trust anyone - not Toyota, nor GM, or Ford or even the big oil companies. You stated something to the effect that if there was something better, big oil would be all over it. I don't buy...

    Hard top Price?

    This assumes that all players are sitting around watching the auction close. How many times have we read posts where someone says they were outbid at the end because they weren't able (or forgot) to watch it close? If there are multiples of an item at one location, you can indeed do well at...

    The day that backfires you'll be on here posting a sob story. I hate people who run up bids just to be a di........... Actually, that sounds like shill bidding or collusion. Do you work for GL? Why are you driving prices up? This whole thing wreaks.............................
