Me and the boys playing around with Kenny's M38A2 Jeep. Thanks for that Kenny. I hope Michael didn't put too many miles on it!

TATRA T815 that showed up late Saturday night.

Those are from me, PB. I posted to FB first because it's pretty easy there to dump 100+ photos. I made the album public so all could see and even link to the album. I'll post some here as well. Working on that this morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for that vid Stig. That's me in front of you. Nice to have met you when we arrived on Thursday and I'm honored to have played some role in the story of how you acquired a truck and got involved with Steel Soldiers. I can see in your video that my brake lights were on a lot. I'm pretty...

Any one in or near Cherokee county Georgia that has an outer rear bearing seal? Just one? I found one that had rotated, torn off the key and basically ground it up. ** Edit: I searched through my parts boxes again and I found an outer seal! Truck is back together and we plan to roll out...

We will likely be there Thursday. Work is getting in the way here big time. Was supposed to be on vacation all week but it didn't work out that way. Hope to do some prep on Wednesday and roll out Thursday morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Michael and I are planning to be there. Haven't missed one since our first one in 2011. Started getting the truck ready to go with new front boots (again). I'm not sure how early we can be there. Michael wants to be there all week but I'm not sure I have it in me to camp all week again...

I finished up the injectors and got them reinstalled. The truck runs great, so I count it as a success. I still need to finish up with the spare injectors and take another run at getting the compression tester to work, but that will have to wait for another day...

Here are the spare injectors that I bought. They are pretty gunked up. I had one that still won't work right after cleaning it up so I gutted that one for my engine compression adapter. The others cleaned up and worked pretty well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally made good progress on the injectors. I've got it down now where I can break an injector down, clean it, reassemble it and set the pop pressure, all in about 10-15 minutes. All of my original injectors set up just fine. I did have one that was sticking open, so I hope fixing that also...

I've been working a lot, but I did get a few late-evening hours to work on the injectors. A) The pop tester finally works! That consumed my entire "patience" budget for the rest of the year. B) I checked my injectors and they're all popping at about 3,000 except one. I had one that was...

It looks like Colliflower got it right. I'll be able to connect it and try it out this evening. I'm confident now that I'll be able to get my injectors tested and calibrated this weekend. I'll post more after I get some done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A brief update on my injector testing saga. Colliflower is making a fuel injector pipe for me, to connect my pop tester to deuce injectors. I hope to have it later this week. I bought 5 injectors and 6 injector lines from a guy on FB. The injectors are from 1985 and in need of service, but...

Thank you, sir. It has been an adventure. You will not find a more supportive and helpful group of people anywhere, than SteelSoldiers members. These old trucks will make you sweat, bleed, cuss, and occasionally fling a valuable tool far into the woods (maybe that's just me), but hope you...

Pop tester arrived yesterday. Sort of. The packaging consisted of basically dropping a 24 pound piece of steel in a box. By the time the package reach Atlanta, the box was a wreck. USPS took the whole mess, and put it inside another box, and then delivered it. I checked it out last night and...

I'm seriously beginning to think injector pop testers are made of unobtainium! The first one I ordered got lost before it ever shipped and it was the last one the seller had. Something entirely hinkey about that whole deal. I got my money back and ordered one from a different vendor. This one...

The pop tester that I ordered from that popular auction site, still hasn't arrived. UPS was showing "order received for processing" but no shipping info. Now it says "shipping voided." I've contacted the 5-star vendor and they say their checking on it. Hopefully we get it resolved quickly.

That's the one. Real nice people and they seem to do a lot of diesel work. My father-in-law uses them for his dump trucks and heavy equipment. He just couldn't figure out how to connect the deuce injectors to his pop tester.

I'm anxious for it to get here. It should arrive tomorrow but I'm leaving about noon for a few days. I'll test it out as early next week as possible. I'm so ready to get that done and get my truck going again!

I've been doing some measuring and some studying this evening. I'm 95% certain that he injector connection is an 1/2" x 20 male tube nut for 1/4" tubing. The hard part seems to be the 1/2 x 20 is usually fitted to 5/16" line. (The connection at the injection pump seems to be a 9/16 x 18 male...
