    military vehicles sent overseas

    I was at Ft Drum last fall for a pre-view and they had several M1078s being readied for shipment oversees. These were pretty beat up; broken windshields, missing headlights, mirrors, torn or missing cargo covers, mid 90s vintage, non running, close to being scrapped. I asked about them and I was...

    m1009 Rear Window Troubles...of course

    I replaced mine in 2011 and used black urethane windshield caulk. I had to leave it uninstalled overnight for the caulk to cure. Just fill the channel with the caulk and slip the glass in. After it cures you trim the excess with a razor and your good to go. And don't forget to wear rubber gloves...

We have first dibs on all surplus "after other Federal agencies" and what is not spoken for gets sent for public auctions that you all see. Yes...

    isopropyl alcohol ​works for me. I always keep a bottle in the truck, and when it starts to kick and buck just add it to your tank.

    Standard HMMWV antenna for cb antenna?

    As cjtroutt said, a MX-6707 works fine. I had to shorten the length of my antenna by 8"-10" and nailed the SWR on my Cobra. I also get great radio skip on partly sunny days.

    Have you had any problems with law enforcement regarding your Military Police stencils and red lights? In New York I believe that is in direct violation of the law; "impersonation of a Police Officer". I have some red strobes in my grill for parade use but I'm always leery of being pulled over...

    Adding two-stroke oil for lubricity - this study says NO.

    I believe with diesel it is cetane. the higher the cetane the easier to ignite and the better it will run. But the higher the cetane the energy denseness is less.

    Adding two-stroke oil for lubricity - this study says NO.
