    Scrapping rear axles

    Gimpy, save the axles. People break them. Or you could cut the ends off and someone may want the cap so they can 'freewheel' an axle for MPG.

    engine,transmission and tire swap

    That bobber with the 460 might sell to the right person for enough to buy a bobbed multifuel. There is always someone wanting a somewhat faster truck.

    Pros and cons of Battery Equalizer / Dual alternator

    You can run a 24V alternator and use your 12V starter if: 1. you use a battery equalizer 2. the equalizer is current limited 3. keeping in mind the EQ has a definite current rating and will only recharge the battery that hard, your starting requirements must be able to be handled by the...

    Oklahoma,recovery,tornado

    Who finds it funny? Probably the ham radio storm chasers from SWDCARC that kept wishing, over the air on their 2-meter ham repeater, that the storm would come closer to them so they could see it better in the lightning flashes (funnel clouds, hail, and all), which if they had their wish, would...

    Info on Flying Flags on the M35's

    with antennas mounted up front on sugar scoops welded to the backsides of the bumpers, I had natural flag poles. The VRC-12 system's antenna is best, being rigid. It also covers 30-80MHz so the 6-meter ham band is right there. It's on the right bumper. The front is a great place for antennas...

    M108 gets overdrive gear

    9 lbs boost at WOT got to 1200 pretty quick on mine. Up hills WOT as the engine slowed and the boost dropped, the pyro climbed quickly. You should get a pyro because you won't know you are ruining the engine till it has gone too far. I always played it safe and ran no more than 1100 for any...

    trade a m35a3 for a 5 ton tractor?

    I paid $3750 for a near excellent CARC M818 with 7000 miles. It needed the injection pump but otherwise was OK and I drove it from IL to TX. The price was considered high by GL M818 standards. You may be trading down in value unless you need the tractor for customization or to pull stuff. 818...

    Stupid Insurance Agent

    I don't know if I would call a insurance agent "retarded" or "Stupid" because they would't sell a policy. Most would tell you anything to get you to buy and then tell you tough luck if you ever needed them. Quote: and says Allstate guy tells him they don't insure ANY military vehicles...
