    2015 Ga. Rally Volunteers Needed

    Just wanted to confirm that I will man the registration tent after I get settled in. I should arrive around lunch and report for duty around 1600 unless we have a breakdown. I think we'll be fine though. I'll bring a friend as well so the usual staff can take a break for quite a while and...

    M818 24volt to 12volt trailer lights

    Ran into this problem on my M1102 trailer. I tow it mostly with my M1028 which sends 12 volts to the lights. I occasionally pull it with my Deuce which sends 24 volts. The solution for me was not to re-invent the wheel but to switch lighting over to omnivolt LED's all around. I'll never...

    Help needed with air system

    The pressure regulator is located just to the right of the air cleaner housing on the firewall. There are at least 4 types of air pressure governors used on these trucks so a picture would help in providing advice on how to adjust cut in and out of the compressor. I likely wouldn't run it for...

    Hate your coming in that way. I'll be there Thursday if you haven't fixed it by then to lend a hand. I've volunteered to man the registration tent Thursday afternoon but I'm sure I can find a way out of that if need be. If not, I'll help into the night to get Bella repaired.

    Hunting for Idle on Deceleration

    air leak or low on fuel. Mine did that to me one time. I had just come back from the GA Rally and decided to drive it to work. I probably only had 10 gallons of fuel and went through some rough terrain. On the way to the gas station, it was acting very different. Everytime I pull up to an...

    Official 2015 Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    1971 AM General M35A2, 34353 Miles, 1358 Hours showing. Good running truck that I have owned since purchase from the Government in October of 2008. Picked it up in December of 2008 due to first EUC Processing. It's been to the GA Rally 4 times in the past 5 years which is a 190 mile trip each...

    John, Even if there is not a location in the field, I'll bet we could unload your M37 out of your M814 on the trail leading to Slippery Nipple. It's a pretty straight trail save for that 90 degree turn to the right shortly after you leave the pavement. I'd be more than happy to help once I...

    Would you pay $17,000.00 for a M1009?

    I've had some strong offers on this truck, many of you on here but never 17,000. It won MV of the Month in May this year. It's all original save for a radio install, a 12V resistor bypass and some AC60G glowplugs and it's still on the original tires. Next week it will be tearing up some...

    Down to 1 NOS Glowplug controller box and sender unit for a HMMWV. If anyone has a HMMWV burning out glow plugs and hard to start when cold, I have a solution that bolts right in. I have other items for sale as well, page 65 as I came late to the party.

    Starting to wonder if I'm going to make it this year. I have every intention of making it but my better half keeps proposing other events that costs money as well. Two of my friends who have no kids already canceled but that's not weighed on my opinion in the slightest. I want to do right for...

    M35A2 Transmission Inspection Plate Missing: Replacement?

    I'd just buy a gasket and make one or find a metal fabricator and have one made. You can use the gasket as a template.

    Air Pack for M52A2; Will a M35A2 one work

    It might help eliminate the wear in a lift tow scenario as the sprag wouldn't be trying to turn much. If the truck was parked in any position other than reverse, the sprag will engage when the rear wheels are moving faster than the front. From my simple understanding, I'd take the actuator off...

    Is anyone interested in a MEP 831 with a broken connecting rod? I'm sorry to update that a local member has made a strong offer that I can't refuse. I will not have this generator beyond this Saturday. I apologize to Coffey1 and Ferro as they both sent me messages indicating interest in this...

    I'm still working on my plans as well. Atomic, (Russ) won't be there and GodawgsDv8 (Scott) won't make it as well. My convoy just shrank to nothing but me and now my family is thinking of backing out as well. All while we want to introduce a new member to ride up with my now non-existent...
