Just in case anyone does any dealing with the guy I called out, "Munchies", I would like to point at that he gave me $20 for the recovery and loadout. I lost money on the deal and I'm standing firm that I ain't picking up squat for someone else out of Albany. What was even more of a slap in...

Even though I don't care for you over some comments concerning some training. The most common problem I've found is the wire coming from the PCB to the Starter Solenoid. I've spliced new wire into quite a few of those on the M939 Series trucks. Test by probing the wire coming out of the bottom...

I pulled wheels off of a 5 ton that was gone through at RRAD and it had it on all of them. Didn't stop the impact a bit.

Just my 2 cents on airpacks. I had a long style that had long been abused by no one draining the air tanks after a run. When I first got the truck home, I drained the wet tank and could have likely watered my garden with the amount of water that came out. My truck had a very hard pedal, it...

Do you have any smoke while cranking? The multi in these trucks does not care much about fuel quality, only quantity. When I picked mine up, the JP8 or Diesel was likely 10 years old or so. It smelled like varnish more than it smelled like Diesel. The truck ran strong on that mixture but did...

I'm just thinking out loud here but if the moisture has ruined the sealing surfaces, why not just install a tube. Sure, it will succumb to the same failure at some point down the road but it seems to me to be a simple solution to a common failure point. When the first tube fails, install...

No way to tell that I can see. The Mack does have a passenger side fender mounted air cleaner but so do the LDS-465 trucks in the M39 series. Macks are actually pretty rare in my research but they are great motors in my opinion. Perhaps AMGeneral can enlighten us but I see nothing definitive...

Would love to see you there Jim along with anybody else. Surely all of ya'll know some MV owners who are not on SS. I can think of one and he has an M38 Jeep that is very nice, old olive drab with stars and from the road it looks nice as can be. I'll pay him a visit next weekend, introduce...

If you're committed to flat towing, I'll loan you a hunter medium bar and chains. For what you'd have in fuel driving a civy truck down here to get it and return it, you could likely have it towed professionally which would be safer. Let me know. Joseph.

A good hot shower is nice at a get together. I don't need to see you're MB in the shower as my MB equivalent would probably leave me over that. Not quite her "cup of tea" if you will. The place is only about 30 minutes from my house so I kind of think Lee and the boys will wave off the...

I called earlier today. They allow drinking within your campsite, campfires and they want dogs on a leash. Not sure how that will work with Baby Bear but here's the thing. If the pet is in your campsite, no worries so I think that if 3D get's the campsites linked together, we can travel from...

PB, 3D planned on making a site visit sometime this week. I'll wait for him to post his results. I'm sure pets are allowed and Joey and Briggs want to ride Baby Bear as a horse again. BB was nice, he just sat down each time they tried that at the rally and he didn't even growl. He's a great...

Anyone reading, please note that at my request, Doghead changed the thread title. This event is scheduled for the 20th of July so that we can include 3DAngus as he had a wedding in Maine scheduled on my proposed date. I'm going with the 20th of July and I don't think it will disrupt much this...

Last time I was at Ft. Knox before they moved the Armor School, a contractor out in town had the job of moving the tanks from the motorpool to the field. He had about 20 M911's pulling heavy haul military trailers that used to be hooked to them. I thought the M911 tractors moved the load just...

I'm good either way guys. Let's just say 1 vote for 20th, 1 vote undecided. I tried to call Clinto earlier but he was busy. If a mod comes along and see's this, let's change the title of this thread to "20 July get together for SW GA SSer's". The sooner we get a date set, the sooner we can...

Actually, it's Atomic's song, it was his idea!!! I'm just socializing the idea at this point. Once we have a firm date, we'll move forward and you can contribute all the info that you wish. Only helps us plan. I'd like to propose the 20th or 13th of July and most responses for either date...

I can vouch that an M1070 has room in the cab for 6. I was an M1 Tanker during my active days and they had room in the back for the crew. It pulled a neat trailer that all the bogies turned on in response to the steering of the tractor. I'm not sure what the truck and trailer weighed but I...

Well, tell me what date is good for you Mr. Emerson, I'll see if I can get a mod to change the date in the thread title. If you'd like to contact to park for the other ideas such as group camping and vendor spaces, feel free to take the lead and I'll be along for the ride. My intent is to just...

The date's not set in stone 3D, it's just proposed. As long as we do it while the kids are out of school, we can move the date around. I'd be more than happy to move it back a week or 2.

I spoke in length with Gringletaube at this past rally about this exact issue. If you're not sure who he is, ask around, he is the Deuce Authority in my opinion. They were built with caged bearings. The only way they want to become "uncaged" bearings is due to a clearance issue as in the...
