    oscellating multifuel engine

    Ditto on the above......the type of fuel you are running can have a cleansing effect on the whole system....the only place for the crapola to go it is into the filters (afterall, that is their intended purpose).....not uncommon to have to change filters several times in a short period until all...

    Labor Day in ALA

    Not Rocket City, 4x4 check out Mountainside Offroad Park - Gadsden, Alabama I met the owner a while back, good guy that is serious about his hobby. They are constantly improving the site but it is still somewhat primitive. I'm offering them my van to use as an office for the big bash. I...

    Labor Day in ALA

    There is a big offroad park near me and I know the owner well. They are going to have a big rock crawler rally there Labor Day weekend. It is in the mountains of NE ALa. I have offered to let them use my expando trailer van for the weekend. This would be a great opportunity to have a small...

    Air compressor

    A customer of mine has an Army air compressor with a Teledyne 4 banger on it. It has the rope starter on it and he would like to put an electric one on it. Can anyone direct me to a source for the kit. I remember my old unit at Benning had a similar compressor with electric starter. The old guy...

    Camp Dodge Wreckers

    Welcome to the Wrecker Owners Club :) They are amazing pieces of equipment.......they will pick up a load, pull a load and haul a load. Not real fast but they are stout.

    Bobbed???

    My opinion...FWIW....is that if it is a classic or hard to find truck (pipeline, auger, tanker, etc) it should be preserved. If it is a plain Jane deuce and you want to bob it...go for it...I had a bobber I made that was a kick ass truck...it got a lot of favorable comments wherever I took it. I...

    Militaty Decon Bottle Location

    Usually they were located where you were most often to hit them with a knee while entering/exiting the vehicle......installs were done by jealous mechanics that like to piss off drivers.:roll:

    Fuel gauge problem

    The only thing that lies more often than a career politician is a deuce fuel guage. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER trust one...even if it's brand new and just been installed. (ask anyone that has been on a recovery with me). There are all kinds of reasons for fuel guage failure/error. Bad guage, gunk in...

    CA or bust!

    I'd be real careful of what kind of guns to took into the "fruit and nut state". They have some idiotic gun laws out there.

    Need some advice... GL and credit card issues

    :soapbox: The same thing happened to me..only the once-only email their mindless computer spits out hit my spam box or the twilight zone and I never got it. The result was that I did not know my credit card had been declined until GL locked my account. My ECU status said "sent to Battle Creek"...

    Deuce as a donor?

    I have a 1960 International (Cornbinder) crew cab pickup body. International called it a "Travelette", basically a Travelall with the end cut off. I plan to put it on a bobbed deuce frame and have a crew cab deuce. Since I am only using the body I should be able to add power steering and AC...

    Alrednecks daily tow rig!

    You guys just don't understand "redneck engineering". That truck is an easy fix.....just jack it up and run another one up under it.....all fixed.

    Tires and wheels moved from TX to FL

    PM ALREDNECK.....he is going to Fla soon to deliver some deuces and pick up my tanker. Reasonable rates and good service.

    Mtvr

    . I think the plan is to rebuild or upgrade them rather than sell them off as surplus (of course this was the same idea that brought forth the M35A3 abortion). This option keeps the contractor busy rebuilding when the new administration cuts the military budget to the bone and precludes any new...

    It would be cool until you raised the launcher and the black helicopters and their associates showed up.:roll:

    Definitive M105A2 Recovery Thread?

    I have pulled an unloaded 105 with a F-150 and had no problems. You need a Reese type hitch with a pintle adaptor. You also need an extension that will raise the hight of the trailer tongue so it will ride level. Get a set of magnetic tow lights with a long cord and you will have required...

    A SS Transportation Challenge!!

    PM ALREDNECK and see what is on his dance card for the next little while...he is picking up an item in Fla for me and also a tanker I have stashed near Miami. His rates are good and he goes the extra mile to help out fellow SS members.

    Grade 8 Bolts

    Bama Lady works for TSC......we get 15% off the stuff we buy...they have great deals if you watch the sale papers. They also match prices on identical items sold at other stores and can do special orders from a huge catalog they have.

    5 ton turning radius

    :-D MAN UP!!!!! :-D Like the man said, it's part of the price you pay to play the game.....if it was easy the sidewalk sissy fixing hair at the beauty shop would own one. Adapt and overcome....I have operated these vehicles for over thirty years and still love them. You may have to make...
