Pic load Finding upload speed is a little challenge. So far, this site has worked for speed tests. http://www.speedtest.net/ Windows 07 Fire Fox Trying to load pics sized from 1.0MB to 1.4MB, one pic was 554kb Upload speed was 1.09mbps Less important download speed is 15.6 Right clicking on...

Those photos are something I'm sure we'd all like to see. There's just something impressive about saving an MV that has some known history. Adding stories from the men and possibly women, that drove these trucks is another level of value that also gets me in the gut. Beautiful truck, I'll look...

Flatulated picture button I loaded a few last night but it seems to choke after 3 pics. Choke is the fancy computer word I use not to be mistaken for a fuel problem. The little thinking indicator on the 'manage attachment page' just spins like it's looking for an autosize button. We've been...

You're a fresh CUCV face on Steel Soldiers so welcome aboard and tell us a little more about the truck's future. Are you plowing with it as well or retiring the truck for Friday night cruises? We added a transmission cooler but it doesn't make complete sense without a transmission temperature...

What a great Christmas story for the G749 to be painted, decorated and paraded all in a short period of time. The whole video is worth watching but seeing that decorated 211 full of smiling troops is over the top. The automatic makes it easy on the parade route and for the riders as long as...

That was fun. Tunnels, MV's and Bunkers are up high on the list of favorites and that was an MV, tight ride in a tiny tunnel.....perfect. Here's a Canadian tunnel tour twist for a New Year treat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRvPPnHMsyE

Loose nuts I like it when a plan comes together! Nice easy fix and it's good to have some bunny remind us to check all our nuts once in a while.

Great big Holiday welcome from Sunny Alberta. You've got a big support network out there on the West coast with the likes of Western Command.....and Stan up in North Vancouver. One of my best MV rides was in a M37 touring the trails on the farm. Very capable truck so I know you'll enjoy the ride.

I've buried more MV friends and wrote more "get well" cards than I'm prepared for this year so will you guys just stop it.........what in Sam's health were you doing in the hospital???? You're making some serious progress and I'm full of bunker envy. In the beginning of the Cold war, from the...

Theft Prevention Just a little bump to remind everyone to review their security. We got the call from the neighbours that the gate was open at the G749 farm and the lock was missing. Started making the calls and another neighbour had found a stolen trailer on his property and storage...

It's tough to see the heave but at 22 seconds, if you hit pause, you start to see skid marks in the lane to the right of the semi. Both lanes on either side of the semi appear to be patched. At 24 seconds you can see how the skid marks in the right lane skip a few times. Looks like a bump to me...

Dynamo humm dynamo humm where's that dynamo comin from I thought my M135 was almost perfect until I got in a 'tight' M135. Seems like there's always one more nut that could be tightened to make it better. It's real nice to get into a similar truck for vibration comparisons. Sometimes the noisy...

Fords are a problem with a water under the hood but I've been lucky with Chev. I avoid direct high pressure spray on wires, computer boxes, distributor caps if cleaning a gas engine but aiming at a spot and short pulls on the high pressure washer limits problems. Bagging up the intake is an...

I should have asked the same question. We used Simple Green, Super Clean and steam to sanitize the M1010 under the hood and everywhere else. It's so much better to work on and after a good bath it's easier to see problems. A clean engine runs cooler and all Chevy's run better after a bath. This...

Doing a little holiday season bump with a newish video hot off press that teaches many lessons. The vehicles are not military but the situation of crossing a bridge while in a corner is one we'll all face. The dangers of wheel hop and loss of control can be mitigated by reading every foot of the...

Alberta just turned up the tap for distracted drivers starting next year. On top of the $287.00 fine we'll also take points from your airmiles card. It's actually an Alberta demerit point system but I don't see how it applies to visiting drivers. Alberta drivers will receive 3 demerit points...

VIN Number We might need to dig up David Doyle's book but as I understand it the next truck out the manufacturers door, got the next number. What I don't know is whether they started at 121100001 or not so let's find out. NDT? Final production numbers between the two countries is also a number...

Once out of the military they would have needed turn signals on public roads. These lights look like a farm add on....quick and cheap, probably wired to a flasher but I need to look. I'm just not sure if any of the trucks were decked with flashers while still in service. They were still using...

If you do a video make sure the sun is at your back. The camera on a coat on the seat trick works real good to watch the gauges. Great way for you to take us for a ride.:D How's your 0-50mph times? We're pushing between 46 and 55+ seconds in the old 302's so here's some video incentive. The...

Grab Handles Kinda rude of us not to follow up on the seal search but I'm guessing you charged ahead anyway. It's been a month man! I'll try to get a day next week to wrap these up. No trani gaskets for Christmas but Valentines day looks good. For the record, your donor trucks were Larry...
