    Upgrade complete

    Just logged in using firefox, and all text is left justified. When using IE it's centered. Weird

    Upgrade complete

    Very nice, I really like the upgrade. The only problem I have is that I find the centered text and tread titles hard to read as well.

    Transmission Jingle

    I second the park brake. Mine had a god awful annoying rattle and I found one of the springs on the park brake shoes was broken. Made the drum ring like a bell when I was driving,

    Looks good man! Remember, they are old military vehicles. If there are no leaks, it usually means they are out of oil!

    Spin on oil filter kit

    I have got westechs spin on oil filters on my truck and am very happy with them. He even fabbed me up custom threaded adapters so I could use the larger filters on one of his older kits. Great guy to deal with!

    1500 mile recovery

    Sean stopped by the farm a couple days ago on his way through. Went for a cruise in the 5ton and got a couple nice pictures while he was here. All in all, was a pretty good way to spend an afternoon!

    deuce hyd power steering

    Nice looking setup! I wish I had waited a couple more weeks, I just finished rounding up all the parts I needed for my hydro steering setup. The steering box I grabbed was the HF54 unit off an old LN700, and the truck also had the ram assist on the tie rod as well. I'm pretty sure I can make it...

    1200 miles in a deuce

    Thanks guys! Karl, that would have been cool, but I was on a mission. I and to be at the border crossing at a certain time so there was very little stopping going on. Only when the truck was low on fuel and when I couldn't feel my legs anymore! That was a long day, but you can still cover a lot...

    1200 miles in a deuce

    It's the dang park brake shoes rattling. There's a spring on the top that was broken. It's a special one that goes over a bolt. I haven't been able to find a source for it yet, maybe I'll post up a pic when I get home so people can see what I'm talking about and point me in the right direction.

    1200 miles in a deuce

    Yeah, I never even thought to post on here before I headed out, otherwise I could have stopped for a bit. There was a few times we pilled over and waited for the worse of the rain to pass. They sure are. The 395's Andy found for me were sure nice rubber. Most were brand new, and the others...

    1200 miles in a deuce

    Yeah Loco, I don't think it could have went much better. I didn't even need to use any of the spare parts except for the new wiper blades. I hope you have a good trip with yours too and not have any trouble along the way.
