This is your schedule tickler. Please let me know on this thread or by PM if you think you can make it. Thanks Jason

I've got water in one corner only on a M105 top. It is in the rear right corner. I'm guessing 2 pints. I really doubt it is suppose to be there. Guessing it is condensation that has accumulated. It freezes hard as a board in the winter so it isn't glycol. Poked the corner w/a pin but it...

Savanna IL. We are on the Mississippi about 30 miles south of Galena, 20 miles north of Clinton IA, 5 miles East of Sabula IA. Not too far by MV from Rockford, Chicago, Cedar Rapids, Madison, Peoria, Burlington etc.

Do we have any members in MVPA in the Eastern Iowa, Southern WI, Northern IL area? All of the local guard units and the Rock Island Aresenal have declined to show up with so much as a HMMWV. So much for free recruiting opportunities. We have four military organizations less than an hour...

Bit of a mystery...to me anyway. A gentleman saw my trucks and decided to swing in and talk to my Dad. He wondered if we would be interested in both axles, transfercase, transmission for a 1947 Hy-Hoe Dodge. He said he had the registration from years ago and it lists it as a 1959 on there. He...

I've driven the northern IL to San Antonio many times. Lots of flat terrain in between which should help a bunch. One thought I had was to sell your 105 and buy or rent a trailer to pull the Uni. home. Less wear and tear and then sell the trailer and buy another 105. For the fuel and maint...

Thanks for more good ideas. I've replaced the cond. and points with no change in performance. Replacing the dist. and cap are not good options just yet as they are pricey on these old 24V trucks. Timing has entered my mind a few times and may run it to a friend who has a light. May try to...

Rigged up the remote fuel supply today. Truck runs good as long as I'm gentle on the peddle. If you hit the gas like you wanted to rev it, it falls on it's face for a second, burps then comes alive. If you take off really easy it will go through the gears pretty well wilth minor hiccups. Try to...

The date is getting closer so I wanted to post a reminder. If you are anywhere close and can make it, that would be great. Any members here belong to a collectors group that you could post a notice at? The commitee would really appreciate it. Thanks Jason

Houston ...we have a problerm. I've used the truck several times and the diamond plate steps along the side come in really handy. The rear diamond deck is a nice work bench or just to use as a shelf for saws and such. I didn't intend to leave them on but now I've grown kind of fond of them...

Great ideas guys. Put a glass filter before the carb and it shows clean fuel. Replaced the inline filter right after the tank and b4 the electric inline pump and noticed something right away. The filter was twice as heavy at the other in line filter was. Replaced it and the thing ran great...

Strike 2 and 3. It's not the condenser or the points, installed brand new ones this AM and it's still acting up. Can't even get it up a hill or over 15mph. Going to start w/ the fuel system next. It has two filters and the mech. pump an elec. pump, plus the in tank sock. Good Times

Thank you very much. From the paperwork I was given, it looks like the miltary gave it away in 1977 to the Colorado Emergency service.

You Sir, Keeper of Knowledge, do you have intel on the M715? A solution to the mystery of my 1968, Jeep M715 s/n 34231, delivered 1/69 would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

I'm pretty sure that is what is meant by love at first sight. The makes the H2 and H3 look like .....? Just think of the money they put in that thing though. It is way cool but for the same coin, you could make the worlds most bad azz "real" M715.

I could help you reduce your inventory of M37's by trading you a M35. I want a M37 and then the last thing I need is a 1949 Power Wagon and I will be complete.........? We are expecting hail tomorrow so I had to shuffle the garage around and park the M715 in there. She was all calmed down...

Illinois guys popping out of the woodwork now. Awesome to know there is more around. I just drove by a M105 in a back yard that was only 10 miles from me. Never know when the MV's are going to pop up. June 12 in Savanna IL, we are going to have a parade and get together for the closing of...

Always good to have another MV guy in IL. It will help make it harder for them to ban them due to the fact that they are capable of carrying many assault rifles in the back at one time....like Remington 700s, Marlin Model 90s, H&R 20ga, Ruger No 1. etc.. Welcom aboard and congrats on your...

She still isn't happy but she has adjusted to the idea. I got brave enough to ask if she minded leaving her Suburban out so I could put it in her stall of the garage....probably wasn't the right timing to ask that yet. The levers don't help w/the drop top. Wish they did cause that does not...

Very nice. Those do look cool. Did you go with power steering?
