    African Queen Update

    I also have to ponder if the spotlights were ever mounted to another conveyance. Like the M10 ammunition trailer, or a double caisson setup. Outstanding!

    Cucv roof rusted through

    Liability is a factor for sure on any kind of repair. Should be a simple repair for a shop that can handle a body seem panel replacement. Sounds like the top surface skin on the top windshield around. Ask around local car shows, swap meets, you will get the skinny. Take your time, then decide...

    From what I see is the crank at oem has more surface area contact. The proposed belt location has more surface contact on the ac compressor. But is the diagram representative of where the oem compressor would be? Maybe not a good comparison, diagram? There is belt tension to consider, belt...

    M8 Greyhound help

    I am a little late but I will have a couple of things that I do on any carburetor rebuild, especially cast iron. I will use talc powder on the gaskets to keep them from sticking. Sometimes it will take a few cleaning sessions to get all bleeds clear of foreign matter. And a little rust or dirt...

    Lighter springs on a 939?

    I do not know which tire size you currently have on the 939 but is it possible to use a tire with a softer sidewall? Just wondering, if you do not plan on transporting heavy weights then maybe a little help in using the tires as a cushion may help.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2019 - September VOTE HERE!

    fuzzytoaster the front tires on the 817A1 are monsters. I have to wonder if the tires on your Truck are enough to float it. I would imagine that if you had to float to get somewhere you could take one of the tires off and travel a great distance. That is one Tough Truck. The 817A1 has my vote...

    power steering pump part#? 87' HMMWV with 6.2 non turbo

    It was brought to my attention that the TM calls for transmission fluid in the hydro-vac system of the HMMWV. I was not aware of that and should not have stated that PS fluid is used. This can and will be debated for obvious reasons. However there is a difference in that PS fluid is a higher...

    Idle adjustment

    Definitely worth the time to just brows and spend time to get familiar with looking threw the TM's. And if you have a printer then print out what you need or all. I need to get a printer. Simple adjustment like a carburetor.
