Oil can is coming up this weekend to change out his T-case. From people that have done it, how long did it take you to remove and install? Looking at things I figure about three hours to take out and probably four or five to install. It looks like it should take considerably less but I factor in...
This picture below is at our camp in the middle of the Saudi desert where we waited 7 months to start the ground war. I was in country in August with the advance units of the 18th Airborne Corp. When we arrived we were a few units in the middle of the desert. By the time we left for the ground...
The battalion should be before the 202. Such as 1-202 to be 1st battalion of the 202nd ada battalion. I was in 5/8th FA while at I was with the 101st. It was the 5th battalion of the 8 Field Artillery Regiment. I then went to Korea and was in the 2nd Infantry division. My unit was 4/8th FAR (if...
The link shows them to be part of the 42nd ID attached to 18th airborne corp. It looks like the units were reorganized recently and perhaps the 202 was integrated after you got your vehicle. It would help to know what battalion of the 202 it served in.
One more step to your list. The first thing that triggers is the 28 volt relay under the dash This then triggers the solenoid with starts the motor and the armature moving. Armature then cases the motor gears to engage the engine gears. Not sure if this is effecting your situation but keep it in...
There are kits to convert the full time t-case (203 I think) to work as a part time case. On Chevy's you could just pull out the steel plug out of the axle and put in the hubs. On the M880 you need to change over the T-case then replace the rotor and hub with one that will allow the lockouts...
Most of the electrical load on this goes through the amp Gage in the dash. It is not uncommon for the connection to the Gage in the dash to fail and take out the instrument cluster and the amp Gage. I had this happen in my 77 snow commander w150. This is pretty much the same as you truck. I am...
I was taking a load of shingles to the dump when I lost all electric power. Everything was gone. I decided not to turn the truck off at the dump and I am glad I did it that way. When I got home I found that all the electrical power included the starting circuit. A wire chaffed on the rear of the...
Speaking of the idiot. The truck is back with a $1000 starting bid.
Nice pull on this truck. If it is as advertised I think it was a steal. Even if it is not as good as they say what can you expect for $1200? No matter how it shakes out you got a good deal.
We towed 15000 lbs howitzers in the sand in Saudi and through the mud in Kentucky. We never had a problem that needed low range reverse to get out of. I think it is more of a design limitation not a defect. They were new when we got them in the late 80's so this is the way they were since new...
quoteBKinzeySince the post was split I will honor that but I am replying to IDA34's post in the other thread.
The robbery involving a fake gun is not pertinent here. You can walk into a bank and say you have a stick of dynamite in your pants and give me the money. When you are apprehended it...
I would say I am suprised by the amount of people out there that want to take my guns away because they do not want them around at all. It is like there was never a murder before the invention of gun powder.
Yeah. Mine is in the city a lot and I have yet to paint it the black, grey, and white urban camo. As soon as I do I am sure it will blend in. Or I could just paint a dodge stratus to scale on the sides.
Felony stop is slang for high risk stop. Even if no violation is present a mounted M2 will be considered high risk. The police will show up in force and order all occupants out at gun point. The road will be shut down while each and every occupant is taken out at gun point. They are then...
