    WisDOT on the warpath again!

    I like Wisconsin dairy products very much, but those cheese hats and those who are seen wearing them are a great source of amusement for those of us in the south. Y'all need a law banning them for some reason or another (making the foam is somehow poisonous? Do they release toxic fumes when...

    Henderson Heritage Day Parade

    That's cool. Very nice truck. Good on you for being asked by the OPH to help out! I see the bobber there, slick paint job. Normally we don't want to see political signs such as the one on the bobber, but in this case those are incidental to the pictures of the truck in the parade and are not...

    Steel Soldiers nametapes

    It's true, militia has nothing to do with it. We are basically an old car club.

    Steel Soldiers nametapes

    I always leave the branch tape off BDUs worn for sporting or utility purposes. The problem is that the BDU is a uniform, so any name in place of the branch tape or patch in place of a unit patch could be impugned if the wearer does something bad. Assuming the tapes were allowed or sold, etc...

    RT524 & MX-6707 Antenna setting?

    I plotted the SWR of a couple military antennas here. Not the one in this thread, but the no-tune AS-3684 one for sincgars and an unusual high band VHF one. Let me know if it is useful. If I had in my possession the kind here, I would gladly analyze it over its range plus a bit. Just send me...

    Cable - MX-7777 to Battery

    Try Haney Electronics tc0654@mesh.net - he often has such items.

    Cry Baby Neighbors

    I'd take that letter out in the front yard during a time when many people are about, put it at the end of a pair of pliers, and burn it. When asked, tell them exactly that is was a poison pen letter from someone cowardly and unimportant.

    fuller ten speed

    There is very little distance between the trans and transfer in a 2.5 or 5 ton. If the truck is a short wheelbase like and M35 or M818, the rear shaft will be very short, perhaps unacceptably so. The next truck I mod, if any, will probably be n OTR tractor, which already has the big hardware...

    813 clutch slipping smell?

    The can should have a line on it I think about halfway. It should not be allowed to get empty.

    Radio ID?

    If it is the '68 IIRC then you can use it on the "6-meter" ham band which is 50-54MHz.

    Is that an 800 series?

    m809 starter

    When I replaced mine, the rebuild shop set up the angle of the unit (mount vs where the solenoid is) and installed the 'same' kind of solenoid. Unless they have all been changed going forward, you may have gotten a generic one the vendor uses to replace several kinds. Hard to say. Do you have a...

    M939/A1/A2 ABS vs. Non-ABS Trucks

    Because once the engine has stalled out below a certain RPM the transmission no longer has enough speed from the engine to keep itself engaged and if it is computer operated may additionally disengage itself. - -just speculation.

    813 clutch slipping smell?

    First couple of times I went on a road trip in the deuce, I smelled, heard, and felt so many things that I was in a state of anxiety at times. All those things were revealed to be perfectly normal except maybe that banjo music and squealing off in the distance during a 40MPH night pass through...

    M939/A1/A2 ABS vs. Non-ABS Trucks

    Possibly a latching relay could be used to cut the juice to the lockup solenoid and activate a lamp when ABS activates. A simple momentary normally-closed push-button on the dash would restore the function by interrupting the juice to the relay. What I have just described is extremely simple and...

    Spinner II Centrifugal Oil Bypass Filter

    You buy an oil analysis kit at somewhere like NAPA. It comes with instructions, a procedure to be followed to fill the container, and the container. Usually it has a postpaid mailer (part of your purchase cost) and you just drop it off depending on the common carrier. They mail you back a...

    22.5 Rims on deuce

    I noticed in that wheel catalog the wheels had a "disc" figure that implied a rather thick disc compared to the M35 or 5 ton disc. Beware of bolt-nut thread engagement issues. It was an issue on the 5T when putting Goodyear rims and 16.00x20 on it. Those rims were steel and must have been 1/2"...

    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    The best thing I ever did was put lockout hubs on my M35. I used the Selectros, never a problem and over 8000 miles. Better mileage too.

    armored vehicle compilation video

    I like the videos. Some confrontations evolve from a situation where the government acting on misinformation, malicious lies, or even its own contrivances intended to make media mountains out of molehills, paved its own way to the hot place by violating the rights of citizens who as Americans...

    James Bond 007 smoke screen set up Project?

    In the past I had an old fury II with a worn out 318. It had a hard time doing over 60 on the highway and I found tailgaters to be an annoyance. To remove said tailgaters from annoyingly being in view to the rear, there was installed a winshield wiper reservoir, Ford kind with built-in...
