    Ok so, I got a bit done today. Took the intake and exhaust manifolds off the old LDT. Thes are in better shape than the ones on the LDS. Also I cracked open my supposed to be a rebuilt transmission to find this- guess I will be redoing my old one. It is my fault I had to store it outside for...

    As far as I know, only robo and the GL guy were out on the road getting video.

    M915 headlight alignment instructions?

    I don't think it exists. I simply put a mark on the ground 75 ft in front of the truck, and aimed the center of the beam there. At some point I was told 75 ft was what truckers do but I don't remember. I could have just dreamed it up. It works well though on mine.

    Should be some editing software for video for free. Plenty of generic songs to use fre online. Or you can open another tab, and watch a video from a previous convoy. Sure, the dueces might sound like 5 tons, and the 5 tons like cucvs, but some will have the right sound for the feel of it...

    R-2 crash truck

    Awesome news! Sounds like she has a good home! Tires are a bear for the m37s. There are several options. Go back with ndt tube tires if you can find a decent set, or the make new production ndt tires, they are just proud of them. Cooker tire is one supplier. Or go with a radial, they will last...

    Um.. upload to youtube? I am pretty amazed really. Must have been the lack of wifi, or everyone having a good time, but in previous years we would have had many more pages by now.

    Ok, when I got home it wasn't raining so I bolted it up. I ment to bolt the new bracket to the back of the stock bracket, but I wasn't paying attention (wife and MIL wanted to go out to dinner and rushed me) it is an easy fix though. I think it looks good. I need to take the tail lights off...

    Always get a quote. You can get rebuilt injecters for $30-60 so with the upcharge thats normal. You do have to lift the cab to get to 5&6. There is no way around it. Took me 10hr in a field to change a set in a m936.

    The box parts are rare yes, but everything else can be had reasonable and a lot of stuff you can get locally at any auto parts store. Want to have some fun? Go to Napa, and tell them you need a part, and you know their stock number when they are ready say 1. They will look at you waiting for...

    I will tell it when the deal is signed and the ink is dry. ;-) So i got the oil pain off and flipped, along with the oil pickup tubes. The bellhousing is off but I relized I should go ahead and change the rear main seal so one is on order. I also got the secondary and final filter off, going...

    When we did the hardball I brought my railroad private license 100 watt mobipe that was mounted in the hyrail truck, and a 7watt handheld I gave to EMD as he was the convoy commander and I was tail dog. Came in handy for hearding the cats and when jimmy jam had the flat on the deuce. I don't...
