This evening I was out trying to troubleshoot the LF clearance light on my mil semi trailer. I ended up pulling the whole light assy as it was very corroded. When pullling the wire harness out I found a second wire in the harness. Since I had the test light up there and was hooked to the...

My M447C and M103A3 with the S318 shelter.

So this morning i'm on the last leg of my hour trip home from work. I live in a rural area 15 minutes east of Lake Okeechobee with paved main roads and all other roads dirt. I round the corner onto the last paved road and 5 blocks down the road I see the very back of a truck turning a corner. I...

I'm sure lots of us have TMs on a disc similar to or maybe even one of the comprehensive discs made by rdixiemiller. There's more manuals there than you can read in a lifetime but you don't have to. Remember this for easy reading and finding what you're looking for without scouring 28 TMs. The...

Some folks just get caught up in it. I was bidding on these 6 filters on ebay. Gave up at $15 since shipping was fixed at $6.50. I was just checking it out and it's up to $32.89 + $6.50. Thats over $39 and divided by 6 is $6.50 a filter. I get them from WIX of around $4.00 a filter. Gheez!

I've been doing a little research into the origin of the odd looking front hub that seems to be exclusively on water purification deuces. At first I thought that it might be for tie down purposes but the more I thought about it, the less sense it made. I've searced every deuce parts manual I...

Hey gang, here's a link to some pics from my 2003 trip to Gravelrama. This is old news to some of you but others may get a kick out of how I got 2 deuces from FL to OH and back. The trip was 2568 miles was an absolute blast. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v460/Recovry4x4/Gravelrama%202003/

As promised eons ago, here are a couple of pics of the airlock diffs. Sorry but I only have one pic of the actuator inside. Lost the others showing the axle and carrier.

Collecting and owning deuces. I just love having the extra parts on hand from unnecessary ebay purchases and projects long since abandoned. One day I needed a master cylinder for my once owned 1971 M35A2. Remembering that I bought one for the old 1952 M275 I went and found it and installed it...

All this talk about tires has me wondering if everybody is matching their rear tires. If not here is the formula for getting the best match out of a set of 8 tires. Do a rolling circumference of all 8 tires. Make sure the tire pressure is the same in all the tires first. Pair up your 2 tires...

Well gang, we're back home safe and sound. Jonathan (3 yr old son) and myself made the trek without too many problems. We left the West Palm Beach area around 10AM on Tuesday the 10th headed for Doswell VA to meet up with the yellow serial of the East Coast Convoy. We made several stops along...

Anybody have any thoughts on hooking up a headset with a boom mic to an FRS Radio?

I wanted to start a conversation on the above. I've got the FM 20-22 which is a Field manual on recovery. It has lots of basic information and lots of more complicated information on the subject. rdixiemiller says he might be able to get this thing copied over to PDF where it can be downloaded...

Well I finally took all the 10KW gensets off of my M103A3 trailer. I bought this trailer on Ebay a few years ago for a whopping $99. Went to Naples FL and towed it home with my pickup. Once home I stripped the lights off and removed the lunette ring. I owed a lunette to a friend and bought this...

Came a knock on the door this AM. It was a young fellow dressed in desert BDU pants and a green shirt. He told me that he had his deuce stuck and figured I might be the only sucker in the area that could pull him out. He didn't actually use sucker but you see where I'm going. I asked a few...

Hey gang! Welcome to roadtrips! This is a new forum for everybody to share their roadtrip stories in your MVs. Post pics, tell us the story of your latest adventure or one from the past. Post the pics and lets laugh. I know that some of the worst nightmare trips I've had are now called MV...

If any of you own an M45A2 or an M46A2 and have those unsightly front drive flanges with the eye in them, I have good news. I'm willing to swap my streamline, original drive flanges for a set. DOn't worry, you won't be needing that lug unless you have a really big crane and a ship or railcar to...

Before you read any farther, I didn't say bad luck. While rummaging around at my buddies tow yard last night I found that he brought 3 deuces in. Of course anytime one comes in I have to raid the glove compartment and tool boxes. This time was no different. For my efforts I found a new but...
