    I am and I think Armada is planning on going to. I have a boyscout event that is messing up the weekend to go to Dayton but I will be at General Jim's.

    MV Licensing in Michigan - What are the requirements?

    Lee, Proof of ownership to them is a present or past registration with your name on it. You have to prove to them that you are already the legal owner in Michigan. Since you never titled or registered it before in Michigan there is no way you could prove you legally owned it in Michigan. The...

    THM-400 : The MOST RIDICULOUS Filter Attachment Ever?

    You could always take some self tapping screws and screw it down better but I think your transmission performance would degrade. Seriously, TH400's have been in service since the late 60's. I have worked on them since the 80's. I am not an expert but a knowledgeable layman. The pickup tube will...

    THM-400 : The MOST RIDICULOUS Filter Attachment Ever?

    It is normal. The filter is loose so it will sit down on the bottom of the pan. If you look the intake for the filter is on the top so the lower it sits in the pan the better. It is kind funky but that is the way it is supposed to be. Also, put you location in your signature. It is one of the...

    Diff lock side effects

    Now they are making electric lockers. Both the air and electric actuated would give you the best of both worlds with little or now side effects.

    Diff lock side effects

    Greater tire wear. It would make turning more difficult. Don't know if it would be noticeable in a deuce. Tire noise when turning. If in the rear the rear would tend to go sideways easier on ice and snow because when the traction is lost it is lost for both wheels. Stronger lockers give stronger...

    M135 box

    The M35 bed already has a space built into the bed. Take a look at an m35 bed. It has a space that is about 6 inches made into the frame of the bed. It's sole purpose is to raise the bed high enough to clear the tires and have not wheel wells. As already stated the M34 is an M35 with a bed...

    Dolly converter at Fort Campbell.

    In a worst case scenario I could take my trailer down on a Sunday and pick it up at DRMO on Monday morning. I have a car hauler also and would probably do the same. Brent, if you don't mind me asking, how much did yours go for? I also have given up hope of finding the grill. It must have been...

    I am bidding on the M1009's at Selfridge

    I am bidding on both of the m1009's at Selfridge but if anyone else is bidding against me I would take the one without bumpers and stop bidding on the one with bumpers. I am also bidding on the 6.2 engine in the crate that is currently going for $75. The other one is over $100 and I have lost...

    Help with loadout from Sang on semi-trailer

    Hi all, I may bid on the shelter trailer at Selfridge. Can anyone pick it up for me and hold it for a few weeks or deliver it to Dexter, MI? If so let me know a price if you can. I am bidding on a dolly converter at Fort Campbell but who knows if I will win it...

    Radio Cover

    While in the field at Fort Campbell we were shooting WWII vintage powder in our 155mm howitzers. I opened a canister and pulled on the power and the top came off in my hand. The fabric bag had degraded. This was back in the late 80's or early 90's.

    Help no power on the Deuce.

    Thanks to Bjorn for letting me in on the placement of the Horn CB. After checking for power there I found nothing again. I then traced the wire bundle back toward the magnetic solenoid and found that the 10 wire had rubbed against the engine lift bracket until it cut it in two. A couple of the...

    Help no power on the Deuce.

    The power went out after using the horn so that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the location of the Horn CB as it seems power is going toward the accessory switch and lamp switch but there is no power at either connection and this and the heater seem to be the only connections between the mag...

    Help no power on the Deuce.

    Jeff, The batteries are fully charged. They are not being drawn down. The problem is I can't get a current draw. There is no power going to the master switch to energize the magnetic solenoid. I need to track down to see where the break is that is not allowing the master switch to get power...

    Help no power on the Deuce.

    Jeff, All cables and clamps are fine. The main switch is not getting any power and it went from starting fine to no electrical power inside of 4 minutes. It is not a bad battery problem or a cable or connection problem near the batteries. Even the connection at the starter is just fine. I...

    Help no power on the Deuce.

    The other day while driving I noticed all electrical power went out. I get good voltage at the batteries and at the starter. I also get power to the magnetic solenoid. No power to the main power switch though. The schematic has me a little confused. Looking at it I think the wires 10 or 11...
