    M939 based het?

    HETT's sold for 11K a few weeks ago at Benning. How cheap do you think they will go? If I had known they were going to sell that cheap I'd have gotten a letter of credit from my bank and bought one. IMHO you will spend 15K or better on what you are thinking about if you are going to have a third...

    R.I.P.--ARMYMAN30YearsPlus--David Frankenhauser

    It doesn't seem like a long time since Dave was PCS's by the Man Upstairs but there was undoubtedly an important mission for him to accomplish. Although I never met him in person I spoke to him on the phone and we PM'd back and forth several times. I'm a better person for having known him that...

    Is it safe to coast backward in forward gear m813?

    Rolling backward in any gear except reverse is asking for trouble. If you are rolling backward in a forward gear and your foot slips off the clutch the next sound you may hear is metal grinding and have a rapid deceleration.

    395/85R20 tires for Deuce

    395's will go on the stock rims but (IMHO) is not a good idea because of the narrow width of the stock rim.

    I really didn't mean to buy it...

    The is a lot to be said for the judicious use of bling bribery. The Boss Lady caught me bidding on HETT's right before her birthday. She got a pair of diamond earrings the day of. Got me out of the chithouse for a few days but there is a GL auction every week.:whistle:

    Exhaust Smoke

    These engines do not have super tight tolerances and a little oil will get by the rings occasionally for several different reasons. White smoke generally means you are burning a little oil, black smoke means inefficient fuel combustion or air restriction. These engines were built before the EPA...

    Helping a brother out

    A classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. We still remember the abuse you heaped upon poor Elmo at a previous SS GA Rally. You possum porking fiend!!!!!! I haven't heard from him and I got wrapped around the axle today doing other stuff and forgot to call him. I hope he made it back...

    Won my holy grail cheap! 936A2 added to the stable!

    Did you inspect it? Does it have any of the Basic Issue Items in the tool boxes? If so you stole it.

    Helping a brother out

    Fellow member alanb scored an M101 trailer a few weeks back and drove his deuce up here from Florida to get it. He arrived yesterday (2/20/14) and since I was committed (or should be committed) to a previous engagement he got to hang around while my son and I attended a Yellowhammer Filmmaker...

    Deuce Driving Experience Compared to Civvy?

    I beg to differ with you Sir. I put over 50k miles on deuces in Germany back in the 70's and spilt empty or loaded. Splitting gives you two extra gears and you can accelerate like a scalded cat if you know how to do it right. When I had my bobber I surprised he ell out of a bunch of people...

    Deuce Driving Experience Compared to Civvy?

    If you want the most out of your deuce learn how to split shift. When you are upshifting you have two extra gears if you can split shift. It is not rocket science and I think there are videos posted on how to do it correctly. Splitting when downshifting is trickier and if you make a mistake you...

    Quadruple HET Recovery

    A few years ago Bastardcard upped the limit on my business card to $35,000.00 I called them and told them to drop it back to $20,000. The nice lady asked me why I wanted the lower limit.......I said "you don't know me very well....do you?"

    M246 wrecker tractor hydraulic hose replacement

    Since most Wally-Worlds carry dry ice now could you put some on the thingy and cool it enough to shrink and break the tension on it? Before I got out of the wrecker club my hydraulic hose guy had put a kid through college on my dime.

    What the Boss Lady don't know won't hurt you, until she finds it.
