If you coat both sides, the next time you pull the axle you might not damage the gasket and possibly be able to use it again. Wipe off any grease that squeezes out for a nice tidy job.

Yours truly behind the wheel of an M38A1, circa 1975:

Mike, that looks like the female end of a regular M-series wire connector to me, not a capacitor. I would think there is a male wire connector that is supposed to plug in here, unless it was disconnected per a MWO. Edit: looking closer I saw the cap. Guess it's time for new glasses. :shock:

:doh: DOH! I just re-read this thread and realized you are correct. I need to go home and take a nap.

I'm interested to see how the gas V-8 likes the 3.08 axle gears.

I remember the broken M109A3 spring. Mark was driving to meet me to pick up an M105 trailer and a comm shelter. He called me to tell me about the broken throttle spring. My deuce was nearby, so I pulled the spring and bought new identical springs at a hardware store. Both deuces got new...

Bump again, the show is this coming Saturday. Please PM me if you have any questions. Thanks, AT63

Do me a favour and don't colour us all with the same brush. :)

Aren't you supposed to check that before you build the dog house? LOL

A friendly bump...

I like the dog house camper!

Don't use speaker wire. It will not stand up well to the heat in the engine compartment. There is a type of wire insulation that is resistant to gasoline etc., but if your wires are out of the way of the fuel system, this should not be a concern.

Ruppster, yes, please post the PDF file on BinderPlanet.com too. Thanks! I need to get on the ATHS forums. My job is moving me to a different part of SoCal soon, so things have been quite crazy lately. We are having an "ATHS members only" tour on Saturday, May 5th. Anyone can PM me for...

Everyone, I am a board member of the Southern California chapter of the American Truck Historical Society. We are having our annual truck show at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, CA on Sunday, May 6th from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. I would like to invite all of my Steel Soldiers friends...

The cargo cover is as big as a circus tent!

The mound 'o dirt loading ramp is the bomb.

That steering column picture is scary. Even if you stay with manual steering, I would replace the entire column and the steering box. You sure don't want any part of the steering failing a few years down the road. PS: It's great that your grandmother is interested enough to "supervise".

^Ouch on both the physical pain and the huge bills!

A friend of mine put an air ride seat in his M818. The only problem we had was that the seat was too high and your thighs rubbed on the steering wheel at times.

I have to respectfully disagree with this Floridianson, based on experience. I hauled an M114 APC on flatbed semi trailer behind an M818 once. We spent some time on dirt roads and took out the wedges. When we got back to the highway, we neglected to re-install the wedges. A few minutes of...
