Jay loaded the M998 I mentioned above with a loader; that was last year though. Another thing I would mention about this location: parking for a truck with trailer is very limited at some of the hotels. I stayed at the Red Roof Inn, which has a truck lot, but it felt a little shady. The Quality...

So per 46.2-740.1 E, those already registered under "any other provision of this Code" may continue to be registered under such provision. Then it says that for the purpose of inspections (46.2-1158.01 - which in item 22 EXEMPTS military surplus vehicles registered as defined in 46.2-100 and...

I wonder if anyone has taken into account that "Historic Military Vehicle" is not a new term but is already defined in Act 300 Part 257.225 (6): 257.225 Registration plate; attachment to vehicle; legibility; color; distinctive registration plates; name plate, insignia, or advertising device...

Maybe it would help you in Virginia to reference the Military Surplus Vehicle (MSV) law that went into effect in Kentucky in 2017. When the KY Transportation Cabinet was studying the matter, they were interested in what adjacent states were doing. I am attaching a compilation of the affected...

Another vote for JB weld. I have had it last for years on a car gas tank. I also have a diesel farm tractor (Case 1494 with dual tanks) that had multiple places with holes after I sandblasted the tanks. I covered the holes with JB weld and painted the tanks. That was in 2004 I think and the...

There is a vent tube that connects to the filler tube inside the wheel well. You can take apart the fitting and blow into the tubing while capping the fitting on the filler tube with your finger. I have been able to force fuel out the filter vent with just lung power, but an air source is better...

Purple Power contains diethylene glycol mononutyl ether. A glycol ether is sort of a hybrid between an alcohol and organic solvent, so it makes oily deposits water-soluble, while not being as harsh as caustic. I also like to wet-sand lightly...that helps to locate prior runs in old paint jobs...

Thanks for sharing your experience, aleigh. I have wondered about how the Type II CARC would do over various substrates. That's a good point about the water sealing aspect. Do you have a sense as to whether the Type II CARC will tend to wrinkle/peel etc. if applied over existing substrates...

Connecting terminals S-T makes the starter operate, but does not power the solenoid on the fuel injector pump.

The older automatics are not that hard to work on. As dilvoy said, a clean workbench is important as it is going together. I like to clean subassemblies and bag them or put them in plastic containers to keep them clean until they are installed. It is good to have a really good set of...

I had to replace a starter solenoid on one of the M998s; it a non-runner and the fuel pump was missing, which was a clue about the starter solenoid - probably somebody took the fuel pump off to get to the starter but did not follow through. Anyway, I had not worked on a GM starter with the...

Jay did a great job loading a HMMWV for me. That was a long haul though all the way from Kentucky to LA...lower Alabama. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And Joel (19) got a lot of thumbs up on the interstate today in the M925A1.

Thanks Ahab, Happy 4rth to you also! Appreciate the comment on the bows; not regulation perhaps but easy and economical. It is great how green (and tan) iron makes everybody smile. And that everyone old enough to walk knows what an "army truck" is bodes well for the Republic I think. It's...

And Happy 4th, y'all:

Here are the instructions, maps, etc. We are entry 91-96, to park in the Caywood Elementary lot. See you all there.

Hi all, it's time to sign up for the Edgewood July 4 parade. This is a great parade. It goes through a residential neighborhood and the crowd really appreciates the MVs. If you search Edgewood here on SS you can see the prior threads with pictures. This year the theme is "United We Stand -...

Sorry, I meant the block surface, not head surface...

Misdemeanor, you are fortunate that you did not pull the threads out of the block. I looked around on the internet a bit, and found a case where someone did that to one of these engines by using anti-seize on the nuts. If you don't have the pocket guide mentioned by SCSG-G4 handy, there lots...

Looks like a lubricant paste on the threads, what are you using? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
