Maybe we can send a copy of the BGGTRRRRRGG video to the "Jake Brake hater" guy?

LOL, is that why she loves it, because it is a place to send you when she's mad?

Anyone got a decent S250 shelter for sale? A M105 with bows/canvas?

Here is the link for information. www.veteransweekend.com There's some pictures on the site from last year, plus an old posting here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/38991-s-e-michigan-wwii-veterans-weekend-09-pics.html

Jollyroger, you are correct, they unlock when you coast. So you try to coast when turning, not feasible in every circumstance.

How much worse is the turning radius? My 932 has Detroit's in both rear axles. Turn radius suks, but none of these trucks are very good and I have only driven a deuce for any comparison. I pulled the far rear driveshaft to help things a bit. I will put it back in if I have plans for going...

Just received word that the show is cancelled due to weather.

I have what used to be the erdlator. All of the equipment was gutted when I got it. I pulled some pics from an ebay auction years ago of one that was complete, they are posted on the old steelsoldiers website. Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite

Even modern gasoline powered cars have to get considerable changes to the fuel system components for E85 capability. I would stay away for this reason alone. In addition, E85 is a higher octane fuel. High octane = bad for multifuel use. But I don't know what your final octane rating would...

The transmission service manuals have to be purchased, but their user manual is available for download. http://www.allisontransmission.com/servlet/DownloadFile?Dir=publications/pubs&FileToGet=OM1334EN.pdf There is a section on lockup clutch function. It is not clear whether the lockup...

Without some sort of brake input to the trans, the only other way I could see the TCC disengaging is if it were designed to on a decel, via hydraulic circuits and the throttle input. I cannot tell with those schematics if your trans does or not, nor do I have any such charts for the MT654. But...

I cannot find any input in the schematics, electrical or pneumatic, that would "tell" the transmission that the brakes are being applied. The transmission shift points and TCC apply are controlled by the modulator, but this is only the throttle position input to the trans. Unless there is some...

I have a suspicion that TCC disengagement from heavy accel or braking is not done at all on the M939. I can feel the TCC engage, but have never felt it re-engage after say, braking at moderate speed and then getting back into the throttle. I just don't see how the trans would know you are...

Bjorn, my understanding of the 939 torque converter is that it locks in towards the top of 2nd gear and stays locked in for the rest of the upshifts. I can feel this as sort of an extra 1/2 gear "shift" right before going into 3rd. In the civvy junk, a brake pedal electronic input kicks out...

That's going to be very handy, especially if you have vehicles scattered about, away from your tool storage location.

Here's a few. The steep hills and winching the front of the deuce sideways out of the sand ruts were all from a "quick" run we took on Sunday before driving home. 2+ hours later we made it back to the road. Pics don't do those hills justice. The one showing my hood and the deuce peeking out...

Finally got around to getting pics off the camera. Don't have as many that turned out as 319.

McNabb's in Waterford, a little far for you. It is a small locally owned place that crams a surprisingly large variety of things in it. Better to support them than the big box stores. There's just not too many choices anymore. Speaking of locally owned places, Mazza's Auto parts...

Finally got the pics off my camera to post. This was held at Veteran's Memorial Park in St. Clair Shores, MI. Lots of vehicles, vendors, reenactors. The best part was the LVT and Higgins boat used in the reenactments, plus the owner of the LVT was giving rides in Lake St. Clair! I loved the...
