The terms "accurate fuel gage" and "military vehicle" should never be used together. :grd:

:shock: Man, that truck got planted. Glad you called in the big artillery to fix the problem.

This almost happened to me while driving my dad's GPW years ago (I was 16 at the time). I got up to about 40 on the drive home from a car show when I noticed the hood get "light" on the front end and just start to lift. I slammed on the brakes, pulled over to the side of the road and latched the...

^True, it would be mayhem otherwise. I wouldn't mess around with a frequency other than 60 Hz in the US. If you happen to have bought a 400 Hz generator by mistake, I wouldn't power anything other than incandescent light bulbs or pure resistive heater elements with it.

Indeed a beautiful place to stop, even if forced to. It looks like the Saguaros will be blooming at night. Glad to hear you are back on the road.

You will probably get away with this emergency shut down. You surely saved engine damage, which is much harder to fix than any damaged turbo.

The generator on my A1 is shaking too. The crankshaft pulley is a little bent and I think that is causing the problem. Maybe someone bounced it off the frame when they were installing the engine.

Now that is the quote of the day! :wreckerman893:

Looks like you dodged a bullet there. Thanks for sharing the warning! :shock:

A friend of mine did this recently on a WWII CCKW. He flushed the drake lines with alcohol before putting the DOT 5 into the system. I don't know what type of alcohol was used, but he bought it at Home Depot.

Quit buying trucks and trailers and maybe you would have enough money for the wedding. JUST KIDDING!

I would only use the D-links in an emergency and only for a real short distance at slow speeds. There will be too much slop in the set up and the D-links will probably break eventually.

Sounds like the Big Bear air show, which happens every two years.

I sent a message to Kylia. I'll let you know what she says. She IS nice, but we both are married.[thumbzup]

Jason, Kylia doesn't work for Riverside County anymore, but I can message her on Facebook and ask her about a new contact. I agree that the convoy was as much fun as the air show itself!

Jason, I love the IE and would stay here is I could. But like the Godfather, my company made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I will have to downsize my MV collection, but I plan to keep at least one vehicle. Several truck club friends in the SF Valley have offered me storage space. I plan on...

Don't know about a bobber, but that car would surely fit in the bed of a regular deuce.:tin hat:

I will miss this great air show. I am leaving the IE this summer and moving to LA - oh, the horror! My wife and I will be scouting for our new urban LZ this weekend.

I like this idea. It seems that when you have an M35A2, you wish for an M109A3 and vice-versa. An expensive and space-consuming solution is to own one of each - I had two M35A2's and an M185A3 at one point. That was a little ridiculous, so I kept the best M35A2 and sold the other two trucks. I...

I did this years ago, with the help of a crane. The new owner of the M35A2 -> M185A3 still loves the truck.
