    2015 Va Rally at Graves Mountain September 3-7

    Oh yeah that's burning @$$ too. I read one of the articles that was quoting the attorney general, he talked like all the rest of us were ignorant, irresponsible, gun waving rednecks that shouldn't have a concealed weapons permit to start with. Guess I won't be spending my hard earned $ in the...

    M105 cover question

    That's what I'm worried about. I saw a couple pics of them open on both ends on Gov planet. That's what made me wonder about towing it that way.

    M105 cover question

    Been wondering if it is ok to tow a M105 down the road with the front and rear flaps in the rolled up position? Looking to cut down on some of the wind drag for a trip and don't want to remove the cover just to have to reinstall it. I didn't know if it would create more problems or pull it off...

    M939A2 5 Ton 6TN 6TL Battery Replacement

    Man that makes my back hurt just looking at it. We have several or the 4d and 8d batteries in generators around town. Hope you had a soldier B to help putting them in the cab. I just have 2 of the 6tn's in mine. I moved then to the box under the cab. Much easier on my back that way. I'll also...

    Tools for M939A2 8.3 water pump swap

    Could be a belt squeaking also, take a bottle of water. Cut a small pin hole in the top so you can squirt it out when you squeeze the bottle. Spray the belt just enough to lightly wet it while it's running. To much water can make a different squeal. If the noise goes away is the belt, if it...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Why did you need the special socket? Could you have loosened the 10mm and then just put a 14mm in there to turn the nut or did I miss something? Does the 14mm need to be held for some reason?

    Gonna get a 5 ton

    The ctis or so I'm told, can blow a certain seal resulting in pressurizing the axle and spitting axle oil every where. I can air tires up and down manually and have peace of mind. I pulled the whole system and Coffey got several of those valves.
