    Extended axle vents

    . Yes Sir. That is the factory vent. What we are doing is extending that vent up out of the water if you happen to be fording a stream... A lot of times, if you put it above your nose while seated in the truck you will be safe :cool: Nothing wrong with using the factory vent - except once...

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    . Good call @goldneagle ! Those upgrades definitely make the DUCKW model a lot more realistic. I wonder if the co-pilot was manning a .50 while they were "headed in" for a landing. According to a quick lookup on the web, about one in four DUKWs came with a .50-caliber Browning heavy machine...

    Extended axle vents

    . Suggest that you come up behind the cab and put a filter on the end of your hose. That way you don't end up with dirt daubers or similar building a nest in the end of your hose.

    genset loadbanks

    . I think dropping in two heating elements into a 55 gallon bucket of water would work well. At least for a little while. The water will heat up and the water will boil off eventually.

    Hello from Montrose, CO. Happy to be here.

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Might be useful to download some TM's (Technical Manuals) to sort out the wiring. Available for free here. https://steelsoldiers.com/forums/cucv-tms.114/

    Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about the military's process of decommissioning vehicles?

    . Chances are almost nil on any service information be provided. Other than that - you summed it up pretty well.

    purge troubles

    . Awlright! Yes sir. It is pretty amazing how well it works. Ultimately, I used that trick several dozen times - culminating in the rebuild of the dryer. Found a rebuild kit and it was done in under an hour for about a hundred bucks...

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    . A medium tow bar should work - and I would suggest that you buy one that already has "feet" on it. Don't forget that you need a pair of chains too. Those run from the back of the tow vehicle to the front of the towed vehicle - Just In Case. The F350 should pull it with no trouble. On a...

    M1097R1 Running Cold?

    . Pretty sure that won't be a problem. The transmission cooler is way over-engineered.

    M1097R1 Running Cold?

    . Sure... A plastic piece of an old Political Yard Sign will tell you pretty quickly if it improves your problem.
