I was at Lakehurst and saw a lot of trucks that looked like they would be going to DRMO in the near future especially from what the National Guard guys there said. Also the site is not manned by a GL guy so it was a real pleasure working with the National Guard Soldiers who manned the site...

I am waiting to see how high these guys go but I bet GL 77008500 is lurking in the bidding. There are a lot of them so it will be interesting to see if any SS guy gets one...

I tried to post these in a follow on update and could only get one photo in the post so here are the rest up to the present. We will be cleaning up the rust on the fifth wheel frame and adding some I beam support to the chassis along with some additional angle steel that will hold the fifth...

OK I missed out on the M 818 due to one guy with very deep pockets. Do you think he will be trying to get trailers too? I am looking at going for one to tow with my duece using my yet to be built dolly converter. Do any of you plan on bidding on one of these? I usually bid a low bid on all...

I have been looking for a lifting buddy since my boys are out more than home any more and I am over the hill of the half century mark so I have been considering a crane for some time. I saw this at Harbor Freight and when they were $99 I was hesitant in getting one. Their Christmas flyer came...

Does anyone think a dolly converter could be made out of a generator trailer with dual wheel axles? I am thinking of that line welding up the rails and mounting an older civilian fifth wheel to it. I know we used the M354 two axle ones in Desert Storm since we did not have enough tractors in...

I am sure some of you know this better than I do but the front battery in our M1009 is only reading 12.6 Volts and the rear one is reading 14.7 Volts. Both alternator belts are tight an the generator lights do not come on but the Voltage gage is reading in the yellow. Is this an all right to...

I am looking at M 818's and if one does not have brakes what would be some of the reasons, and worse case scenarios for this? Only have a deuce right now but I can think of an air leak or hydrovac issue but do the M 818's have similar brake systems or am I into a new animal with these trucks...

I am not aware being fairly newly promoted Sergeant but if there is not a link for local re-enactor groups we might have one to allow SS members to check out if they could do common tasks with them. Maybe lots of you do this already but just thought it would be a good thing to be able to check out.

My Deuce Door handles are the wimpyest part of the truck. The driver side does not open the door although it is still in place and turns. The passenger side works but comes out about three inches and hangs there. I have spent a few hours trying to get access to these to fix them and short of...

Just the other day when I took the deuce out the speedometer started going crazy like spinning around the whole dial and due to the short suspense I had to make I had to keep driving. Now the thing seems to have settled down but I do not know if it is really showing my SOG. Is there a common...

I am considering picking up free wheeling hubs for my deuce and short of pulling the front hub and counting can anyone tell me what I will find with any reliability? I like the idea of keeping all that metal from turning when I am just rolling down I 95. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I Love my M35A2 and it starts up better than any other vehicle in my fleet when the batteries are cooperating. I have two square original equipment batteries in there and they worked fine and tested OK on the load test but when I drove to Aberdeen to pick up the M1009 last week the things went...
