    Vaccum wiper motor fails to cycle

    Absolutely agree. Erik is a good guy. I needed a diagram for the new style horn button and he emailed it to me in the middle of the night. On the weekend! If you've got those plastic wiper motors, give up on them. They quickly warp out of round and either seize up or leak air past the piston...

    Vaccum wiper motor fails to cycle

    Are the wiper motors the ones with plastic bodies or metal? I wrestled with similar issues on my deuce until I finally spent the money for the good motors with metal bodies from Erik's. They've been working flawlessly for many months.

    My M35A2 Project aka Big Betty

    Well, the wet weather delayed the radiator removal, but I got some other stuff done. I installed the new turn signal switch, new "new style" horn button, replaced the bad LED backup light, and finished all the connections for the front mounted combat lights. The old turn signal switch had...

    My M35A2 Project aka Big Betty

    I would appreciate it, Clinto. I thought I had this one all fixed up but it seems to have multiple small leaks at the welded seams in the upper and lower tanks. I get coolant on my headlights, it streams across the hood on the drivers side and I get very fine droplets on the windshield like a...

    My M35A2 Project aka Big Betty

    I'm really disappointed. A few months ago, I did a lot of work on Betty's cooling system: new hoses, clamps, belts, new water pump, reconditioned the radiator, etc., so that I wouldn't have cooling system issues to worry about. I've had multiple, persistent coolant leak issues and I came home...

    Driving a 5 ton... topless!

    I drive M35A2 around without the top quite often. I love it when it's not too hot. The top is critical to escaping the Georgia sun when it's hotter than the mid 80's. It is way louder without the top though.

    My M35A2 Project aka Big Betty

    I've been completely swamped at work, so I haven't had any time for Betty since the rally. I drove her to the office last Saturday (yep, we're working 7 days a week) but that was about it until yesterday. About 9:00 Friday night, one of our crews was headed up to a site on the top of a small...

    My M35A2 Project aka Big Betty

    So Betty did just fine on her first major event, the SSGR12 rally. One battery cable loosened up on the way over and caused a bit of smoke when starting up at the Flying J and then complete failure just after arriving at the rally. A bit of consulting with Clinto and a bit of troubleshooting and...

    2012 Ga rally check in

    I'm home. Got here at 13:30 and spent the rest of the day unloading and washing the truck. I'm wore out and about to get some sleep.

    Made it home safe about 13:30. Went in kissed the wife and now about to unload the truck and maybe wash the mud and dust off of it. We had a great time. I hope everyone makes home with no troubles. If anyone needs any help up on the northwest side of ATL, let me know.

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I want to say thanks to SquirtTruck for and Dumpster for organizing and leading some very good trail rides. I also want to thank everyone that was involved in getting me out of the mud tonight. Although, it was Mark's idea to pull over there and suggest that someone needed to play in the mud...

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Just sitting here in the bed of the deuce going over my checklist. I hope I've got everything, there's no room left! Excited and ready to roll to my first rally with a deuce. I'm rolling out a little before 0500, topping up the fuel, and then joining up with our little convoy at 0600. Should...

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I finished loading up the food and supplies last night. Decided to bring my dog, Hemingway with me, so I had to load a few more things to accommodate him. You would think I'm hauling supplies for a platoon if you looked in my truck. Loaded up guns and ammo for afternoon entertainment over at...

    Deuce oil leaks

    Those aren't leaks, it's the deuce's automatic rust prevention system.
