    Steel Soldiers MV of the YEAR - 2014 VOTE HERE!

    Any of the vehicles in the MV of the year competition would have made a good first MV of the month. There's only one first, to say you have to go back and rectify that first month's outcome is just silly. Different things appeal to different people. Several of the monthly winners were in the...

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    I used fire wrench technology to burn out the potting in the flasher can I modified. Either it wasn't epoxy like I expected, or it may have had a lot of sand mixed in. It was time consuming to remove but it all came out in the end.

    Would you toss these 395 ' s and get new ones?

    The crack in the first picture is what you see before the tread comes off. If it's a tubeless tire, it may or may not go flat. I had a tread peal off and happened to see it flying in the mirror. I didn't realize what it was, but knew I didn't run over anything so I stopped to check things...

    Bidding on a truck that won't start even with a jump.

    Right, if it's a 1984 truck that was rebuilt in 2009, it's not a 2009. I've had to research the serial number to figure out the year before applying for the SF97. Do yourself a favor and be accurate on the year.

    Bidding on a truck that won't start even with a jump.

    I don't bid on vehicles that I don't think are operational, it's not worth the hassle to me. If it was close by, I might feel different. I've previewed trucks but never ended up with one of those. All the trucks I have were bought based on the description, pictures and video. If you can't...

    Classifieds update, prune window 30 days of inactivity

    This is good information. You can get test strips that will detect BAC below 0.02%. If someone is really concerned, they can get a digital breathalyzer for precise detection of when they are over the limit!

    Bought A M275 Need some guidance

    Unplug the low air buzzer while you are trying to diagnose the problem. That thing will drive you nuts after awhile. Good luck.

    Cat 3406 B

    Think of it from the comfort angle. I've had a deuce and M818. Looking back, I would have liked to have kept the deuce, but for big trucks, I currently have a M929 (dump truck, because every little boy wants one) and M915A1 because it has AC and an air ride seat (comfort, and I want to get a...
