    MEP-002a DC draw

    I have an MEP003A and it sparks every time I connect the cables. The batteries never drain down.

    Official 2021 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally information thread

    I haven't even touched my deuce yet or gotten anything organized - I better get started. I did receive a French military surplus tent in the mail today that I intend to set up. I thought about driving my FLU419 to the rally, just to be different, but man that thing is slow!

    Vehicle hit in an accident

    It depends on the State. I had my car totaled in Michigan when a Michigan car rear-ended me. I was stopped and he said he was only going 60 when he hit me. Almost killed me. I only had liability insurance from Georgia. Michigan was a "total no fault" state regarding both liability...

    Vehicle hit in an accident

    I would make sure you have the other driver's insurance information in case you find hidden damage. Was the other driver ticketed? I would also request a copy of the accident report. Years ago, my wife had an accident where a driver ran her off the road and up a guy wire on a utility pole...

    UPS broke water pump pulley (anyone interested?)

    You need to keep after UPS. They will pay. Make certain that you take photos and don't do anything with the broken one until you get paid.

    M35A3 Power Assist Steering Problems

    That is a very good idea and easy to do. There is a valve on the firewall that will let you cut off the air. If it still pulls, something else is wrong. The leaking air could be a separate issue from the pulling. As far as adding oil to the input, I jacked up the entire front of my A3 until...

    M35A3 Power Assist Steering Problems

    I'm assuming you meant to say Kroil oil and not krill oil? No one should put krill oil in the pneumatic system. Most people I know with air assisted steering put jack oil in the pneumatic system and work the steering back and forth. It usually works.

    Dirty rusty glove box

    The problem I had with my M35A2 glovebox was the rotten and melted rubber gasket for the door. It took me several hours cleaning the remains off before I could replace it.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    My FLU419 came with the ripper backhoe bucket as well. I also have the ripper teeth on the loader bucket. This isn't a problem because I also have two John Deere tractors with smooth lipped loader buckets. I live on 40 acres in a very mountainous and rocky area. At first I didn't like the...

    M35A3C winch trouble shooting

    I have an M35A3 W/W that I have owned going on 11 years now that I got directly from GL. I also owned an M35A2 W/W at the same time. I love my M35A3. It has turned out to be the most dependable MV I've ever owned, much more dependable than my A2. Once I replaced the gaskets on the wheel...

    CA Finally found insurance for our deuce and a half

    State Farm will write a commercial policy for non-commercial use for a deuce, no problem. However, State Farm has a requirement that they won't write this type of policy unless you have at least one vehicle insured with them under a standard passenger car policy. I think they figured out that...

    MEP-002a service near Knoxville, TN

    Absolutely none of my business, but what is the guy asking for the MEP002? As others have stated, this deal smells a little. I would go for an untested, cheap and complete unit for a very good price as is, or pay more for a tested unit.

    Door removal / hinge pins FLU419

    Joel, The answer is complicated and based on my FLU419. On my FLU, the left and right door hinge pins are different. Drivers Side Door On my FLU, the upper hinge has a pin with a head on it, driven in from the lower side of the hinge. The lower hinge pin doesn't have a head on it. In any...

    Dot5 or DOT 3/4/5.1

    I stay as far from Chinese goods as possible. Sometimes it isn't possible. I was responsible for equipping a very large manufacturing facility in China with hand tools, machine tools and electronic equipment. I was under mandatory orders from the Chinese management to not purchase any...

    Those with A3 rims that don't leak... Clamp ring tightness

    I'm assuming that you deflated the tire before removing the nut and retorqued the nut with the tire deflated?

    Dot5 or DOT 3/4/5.1

    I use DOT5 in all of my vehicles. Never had an issue in any vehicle in the past ~20 or so years. I bought DOT5 in bulk on Ebay many years ago for a cheap price.
