    Emergency help needed

    If you do need to replace the batteries, try group 31 commercial rather than the military batteries. The group 31's fit nicely in the stock battery trays.

    You're probably better off going to a speedometer shop and having them make a little in-line gear box for the speedometer cable. I did this on a Pinzgauer when I was converting the metric kph speedometer to miles per hour. The guy drove the Pinz with a GPS unit measuring speed until he had the...

    The Wrecker Bees are Back!

    Sounds safe. At least you won't set the truck on fire with steam. We had a swarm of bees land on a WWI truck at the Riverside Air Show a few years ago. We tried WD-40 on the hot exhaust, spraying the swarm with glass cleaner, and trying to sccop the swarm into a box. Swarming bees are...

    Northern Climate multi fuel oil..?

    If you have any oil leaks at all, expect them to get worse if you switch to synthetic oil.

    G749 preservation

    Great video. I rode in the cab of an M211 when I was 10 years old. I've been hooked on MV's ever since. Thanks for bringing me back.

    Having owned both, I will take the "D", any day.

    Towing Question

    I'm not saying towbar towing is unsafe, but here is a point to remember: a tow bar adds almost no weight to the rear axle of the towing vehicle to help with traction. A trailer contributes the tounge weight to the rear axle of the tow vehicles to assist with traction in acceleration, turning...

    Boyhood dream nearing completion

    Ford or Willys? Either way, that is a sweet looking jeep. My dad has a '44 GPW and it is still one of my favorite jeeps of all time.

    Which Deuce, 923 or 925?

    ... and the turbo doesn't whistle like an M35A2 with the "C" turbo does. The 923 doesn't even have a turbo on the huge Cummins 250.

    The only deuce I ever experienced that ALMOST didn't leak was one that had just returned from Germany, before being sold as surplus. It had the extra side marker lights required in Europe. Somebody had used multiple tubes of silicone sealant in a Don Quixote-like quest to stop all of the...

    12volt lights on 24 volt

    In theory this would work, but it would be like the old-time Christmas light strings. When one bulb burns out, all of the lights would go out.
