    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    Even then I can't find the SOB...... I can hear a high pitched low volume whine but **** if I can find it.... Mine sounds like it's right behind the battery compartment I've sprayed everywhere around there except on the batteries..... I don't need more excitement...

    Red flashing light nstead of the buzzer?

    ^ Buzzer is better when you're driving around. Even truckers like me get complacent in reading gauges...the buzzer is the smartest IMO.

    Well don't know what the problem there is, but it's a direct link to the video. If someone can tell me how to embed it here, I'll be happy to.

    My axle fell off on the way home!

    I can always use the torque wrench on all my vehicles. It wasn't super expensive. Good to have when needed.

    GL experience Feedback

    Mileage varies, I found the 10 day window to get your vehicle to be nailbiting if you work for a living. That 10 days at Camp Ripley really is like 2 specific days since they aren't there all week. Don't know about the place you're thinking of buying at. The GL guys were nice enough but the...

    M3 Halftrack Restoration

    "That topic has been covered in exactly 14,273 threads on SS. The front roller was added to help the half-track get itself out of ditches, if the vehicle "nosed-in", it could "roll out". " I'm sure everything has been covered at one point on these forums, so why not just close the forums to...

    Do I really want a M1009? (MPG)

    Yes Vehicle MPG varies with the user, engine condition roads ect. As in any vehicle. You're not going to get 5 MPG, your friend doesn't know what he's talking about. As JSF01 pointed out, he drives at 55mph to get 18. I drive 65-70. That 10 mPH easily could make a 4 or 5 MPG difference.

    M3 Halftrack Restoration

    Stupid question, but what is the big roller on the front for? Getting up steep inclines?

    Well...I'm an idiot

    Don't feel bad. My wife's 2001 Ford Supercrew wouldn't start. I made sure the battery was good, went out and bought a new starter, replaced it no start. After spending $$$ on the battery turned out to be the $10 relay....... I won't even go into the time I accidentally put power steering fluid...

    My axle fell off on the way home!

    I had the same thing happen to my A3. Luckily I was in my backyard when it happened, I didn't notice until I was backing into my pole barn and a line of fluid was trailing me. My axle had flopped around enough to cut the brake line.(poor design IMO as to placement of the line) I won't comment on...

    CUCV Detonation? - Knocking Noise

    There's a reason a mechanic called my truck a rattler just asking for a quote on service. It's normal. In fact I'm thinking of getting some stencils and painting "Rattler" on mine as a name.

    SF-97 Time frame

    IIRC mine took about a month. Some are faster some slower. Use the time to download and read the TM's on your vehicle. From what I understand following 97's go faster. I didn't need one for the M1009 I bought after the A3 so don't have personal experience with a second one. I believe it IS...

    M35A3 is shimmying

    Like I said, you need to spray everywhere with detergent and water to find where they are leaking. Probably the oring or grommet but possibly just the air connections under the shield. About $40 a tire is what the going rate here is for labor to pull the rims apart and replace grommet and oring...
