Thanks TNriverjet. Unfortunately, Jeannie won't be ready for Memorial Day. :-( My wife is sad but she understands.
I talked to Doc on Saturday night and got another update. He took the carburetor off of his Mite and installed it on Jeannie. She ran perfectly. He plans on tearing the carb...
I attended the mandatory driver’s meeting last Thursday. Below is a synopsis of what I learned.
The City of Orlando is using the Ace Café parking lot as a staging area, which is our meetup location. We do not have to convoy to another location.
We are Lineup # 61. The Orlando Jeep Club is in...
We have 9 vehicles if we bring the Model A and the M1009. I submitted 10 vehicles to the City of Orlando. If two people would like to join us, I'll leave either the A or the CUCV at home.
I like the way you think, Ahab! :-) She really wants the Mite completed for the Orlando Veterans Day Parade. My concern is Doc's health. I really don't want to push him too hard. He is still recovering from Hurricane Irma, as am I.
The hurricane knocked over 6 HUGE trees on his property. He...
I talked to Doc last week. Bensinger sent the master cylinder back to him. He installed it and used a power bleeder. The pedal was still a bit low and spongy, so he had a friend come by and manually bleed it out.
The punch list:
- Doc discovered a hesitation on acceleration. He wants to...
You're on the right track. You talked to Retired War Horses. He, in my humble and essentially useless opinion, is a priceless resource. If I lived in CA and wanted a HMMWV, I'd take every ounce of his advice. I'd seriously consider buying a truck from him. He'll give it the once-over at least...
Our small community needs this thread. We have a small, tight knit group. Our motives are often misunderstood and misconstrued. The world needs to know the value of civilian military vehicle ownership. We care about our country, our communities, our families. Our trucks save lives.
To every MV...
dao - I completely understand your frustrations. If I were in your shoes I'd be miffed as well.
I see a couple gifts in this. You lost only 5 hours give or take, and the fuel to make the trip. No money changed hands. You walked away free and clear with knowledge that you didn't have prior to...
whelmed - I have factory A/C in my M1009. It blows really cold at the vents. The problem I have is that the interior is a greenhouse with no insulation. It takes A LONG time for the A/C to cool off the interior, especially if I park the truck in the sun. Parking it in the shade helps, but back...
Welcome to Steel Soldiers!!!! :-)
We have a forum for Auxiliary Equipment. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?55-Auxiliary-Equipment
I suggest creating a thread in that forum. You might get some help finding manuals there.
