Hello Members! SS is working on a new era of cooperation with the MVPA in order to further the efforts of both of our groups. In that theme, David Welch, the MVPA President, has offered us the opportunity to present a SS award to the vehicle of our choosing at this year's MVPA Convention in...

Hello all, Numerous threads have been brought to my attention lately. Unfortunately, the problem with these threads has been the description of illegal or unsafe actions while recovering a vehicle from an auction site. There have been tens of thousands of vehicles auctioned off from GL and...

Hello SS Family! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your participation in one of the finest MV forums on the net! Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate that Steel Soldiers would still be around in ten years or that there would be over 11,000 members! I am blown...

Hi guys, Does anyone know where I can find a set of two 5-ton Detroit lockers in good take-out condition? I recently sold a USMC 931A1 truck to a fellow member that that I advertised as having had lockers in it because it had the door placard and it was a USMC 939 truck. Unfortunately, he got...

Hi everyone, I don't know if you have noticed, but I haven't been on the site at all lately. That is because I have sold my optometry practice in Franklin, VA and have taken a new position in Richmond. We are still living in Franklin so I am left with a 1:45 commute each way and very little...

Hey, We won a MEP002A 5kw diesel genset at Chambersburg the other day. I would be very grateful if one of our PA members could swing by and pick that up for me. I will pay fuel. I would be even more grateful if that member could bring it to Aberdeen with them so we can get it there. I will...

Hi all, We are in desperate need of help to coordinate the reservation of our SS spaces for this year's Aberdeen show. Mike and I have been wrapped up with personal and professional situations and it hasn't gotten done yet. The deadline is fast approaching. We really need a member to step up...

I have found myself in a bad situation. I won a M932A2 on GL last week. That in itself is not bad, but I also found out last week that the new job I was supposed to be taking at the first of the year has been eliminated :x. Therefor, this 932A2 must go. I would love to keep it since there...

I need a filter and pan gasket kit for my 925A2's tranny. I found a couple of Allison parts places online that sell the kits, but I haven't heard of any of them. Has anyone bought a kit recently? If so, where did you get it? My local NAPA has been able to cross some Cummins numbers for me so...

Has anyone ever used these folks before? They have some 939A2 parts that I have been looking for. Any reports, good or bad? http://www.stock-number.com/06Class9M939PartsList.htm

I would like to address posts about guns here on SS. Please don't post guns for sale, breech modifications, de-mil cut repair, or anything else that would get the ATF excited. There are plenty of guns websites out there so go to one of those if you want to talk about guns. The exceptions to...

Hey All! I have been dreaming of doing a 10th Anniversary Rally or convention for a long time. Next year is the big 10 for SS. The first Haspin Rally was our first real SS rally so it has a special place in my heart. I was thinking of combining the Haspin Rally with the SS 10th Anniversary...

Well, now I have another big 939-series project on my hands. This is why the M931A1 tractor is being sold so quickly. This project is even bigger than the 923A2 from last year, but it's what I have always wanted. It was a great price too. I had a local guy pick it up from Portsmouth on his...

I won this very cool USMC 1986 M931A1 a month or so ago. It was way down in south Georgia so I had the very competent MV restorer, Tommy Craig, pick it up and take it to his place. Originally it was going to be my keeper, but then I found another project :) So, I decided to have Tommy fix it...

Has anyone used one of these to do a 100 Amp conversion on a deuce or a 5-ton? The 100A conversion shown in the parts manual shows a big external regulator and additional wiring. This one has a self-contained regulator and wiring studs instead of a screw on plug. I searched the forums, but...

Is anyone from NC, VA or further north going to the GA Rally? I need a winch brought from there to somewhere close to here. I can drive out to I-95 or wherever to meet you. It's a 939-series winch. Bare drum, no cable. 400-500 lbs. Thanks!

Hey all, My brother and I went in together to get this dirt bike from GL in Portsmouth, VA. I went and picked it up yesterday. It looks like they took a civilian DR-Z and sprayed it with brown and tan CARC. The prep job on the plastic wasn't the best so it is peeling. I am going to strip it...

From this moment on, there will be no more political avatars, political signature lines or political slamming in the forums. It is doing nothing positive for our site. All it does is create anger and dissension in the ranks. I am tired of it. I'm not talking about MV related politics. There is a...

Hi Guys, I need an item picked up from Ft. Lewis. It is in a box that is 10x10x11" and it probably weighs less than 30 pounds. I need it picked up, the item padded, and the whole thing given to the UPS man. I have an account with them. I will pay for some fuel if needed. They do load-outs...
