    Picked up a M929 at Pineville, LA

    It's been about a month, so it's time for an update. I had to take a couple of weeks off because of work. When I got back at it, I changed the transmission fluid and filter. Next I repaired/rerouted the 1/4" air line that was mangled on the air drier and serviced the fan clutch thermostat...

    Transfering a Permanent Antique Tag in Florida

    I sold my Deuce in early 2012 and kept the permanent antique tag. When I bought the M1028A2 later in 2012, I tried to transfer the permanent antique tag from the Deuce to it (RS-25, the procedure that covers ex-MVs says any tag office can do the transfer) and the local tag office couldn't make...

    Failsafe Warning Control Module Plug Repair Help

    Heat it up in an oven (not one you cook in) to 160 F. for about one hour. The potting will soften up and you should be able to carefully pry it out. If you have a heat gun, you can spot heat it and dig the potting out one area at a time. I've done it many times, just go slow. Be careful...

    Deuce fire truck spotted

    Thanks for sharing. I like the tires they have on it. Looks like they would work good off road.

    20 July SS'er Get Together at the Veterans State Park in Cordele GA.

    Don't forget to hit the Striplings general store at 280 across from the park entrance for some good spiced sausage for grilling! I buy some everytime I'm up visiting my brother-in-law in Montezuma. My favorite is the medium fresh, but the jalapeno is good too. They make their own sausage and...

    M146 RV Conversion

    Hey Ray, I was thinking that was a tank type water heater; I had never heard of one with a pilot light. The one in my RV is electronic and doesn't use a pilot light. How do you light the pilot light, bic or match technology?

    M146 RV Conversion

    Hey Ray, sorry to hear about the back. Is this the instant WH you were talking about? When you say 6 gallon, is that how many gallons a minute it can supply? That's a lot of water. What's the temperature rise of the water at that rate? Very nice.

    24v to 12v Without Converter or Transformer

    Just tap off the battery(s) that goes to ground so you have 12V from B+ to ground. If you are worried about charge imbalance, switch the battery position every 6 months. I swap my CUCV batteries front to back like that and have no problems. If you are going to pull more than about 5 AMPS I...

    Picked up a M929 at Pineville, LA

    I had a productive week and day today working on the M929. I repainted the muffler and a replacement under-cab exhaust pipe during the week. I had a little work to grind a bolt head off the frame clamp that holds the under-cab pipe. After getting the bolt ground off so I could replace the old...

    never seize on glowplugs

    It doesn't affect spark plugs. I would think it wouldn't be a problem.
