    Deuce Still wandering across the lane

    Guys, what Thunder in NWOR was experiencing on his A3 was due to a bad tire. He swapped the fronts and the pull went to the other side. He replaced with new tires, the pull went away. The A3's have different spring perches to accommodate the super singles with a slightly different caster...

    Deuce Still wandering across the lane

    As for precision, I was measuring with a 1/32" graded square ruler and eye balled it. I got the recommended amount ground off with a bench grinder, took about 30 minutes a perch as far as grinding time. Wear Gloves obviously as they get warm doing it this way. I agree, a mill would by far be...

    RPM vs Speed vs Tire size

    I'm on 11R20's and the speedo is only a little off. Mine loves 48 MPH indicated which is 53 or so ground speed. I like the idea of 395's, they equal 55 for 42 indicated? That sounds like the way to go and if you can post some evidence proving that, 395's are my next procurement project. I've...

    Deuce Master Cylinder, different styles?

    My old one looked like your new one, small cap and it was already drilled for the vent line. My new one has the large cap and is drilled for a vent line but has a breather up top. I couldn't get the old vent line fitting out of my old M/C cap but I'll get a fitting for it soon. Here's another...

    Columbus, Georgia Veterans Parade

    I know I'm game, I'm sure Atomic is as well and I'm trying to get Riddle on board as a Gunner.

    Deuce Still wandering across the lane

    G, He doesn't have to ask, I'll post up willingly. Following your instructions in the above referenced posts, I removed the spring perches and ground done the leading edge on a bench grinder. I tried to stay as close to Gringletaubes' drawings as I could. End result, re-installed and now...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    Wallew, Thanks for the kind words. Aren't you glad we didn't do that swap that you had proposed some year and a half ago? I'm sure the Blazer is still a nice truck, you sent some great pictures of it. I would have rather had that Blazer but I'm glad we didn't make a deal in light of the...

    If you need it taken off base and stored, I'd get in touch with PapaBear as he's local to the Columbus Area.

    Leesburg, GA Christmas Parade

    Saturday, December 1st, We're doing a parade here in Leesburg, GA. I've registered 2 M35A2's, an M1028 and a M923. If anyone else is close and would like to join in, I have to get you registered by the 16th. I registered under CAMO, Leesburg Detachment as I feel with 4 trucks, we can make a...

    Gear vendor vs. 700r4

    I've got a 4L60E, direct electronic valvebody decedent of a 700R4 in my Silverado. It has 184,000 miles on it, still holding fine, fluid looks good and we've loaded it down a time or two, most towed is 8,500 pounds or so not including the truck. I think the 700 would do just fine in a truck...

    My dad's new FMTV...

    62 MPH, about 27,000, they don't come out on GL unless it's trashed but every now an then. They go high in my opinion.

    PB, I was trying to hide the identity of the "older and wiser than myself" gentlemen. You jumped right in there but I truly appreciate your friendship, mentorship and advice. Thanks to the Army that we have the fellowship and advice of the Imperial First Sergeant!!!!

    Firstly, wow, that change you made to the first post looks rough Warthog. It's true though, it may be repo'd but we'll see how that works out in the coming weeks or months. Secondly, I owe an explanation of how NCIS found me for those who are curious. I work at the Base in Albany as a...

    What should a MEP-002a / MEP-003a be worth?

    That's hilarious!!! Especially the loading and unloading part. Care to enlighten the GenSet Community what you remitted in exchange for me picking up 4 Mep 003A's from Albany, transporting them to my house, unloading, storing for about a month, and then loading onto your truck? You may know...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    I should have been more clear in my last post, Autistic kids get very attached to stuff, get upset if stuff is not lined up properly and get real upset if something is missing. Briggs displays all of those symptoms and I normally have my "motorpool" arranged a certain way. He'd notice if...

    Pics I have of it!!! He's truly been a part of my Family and the Greater SS Family for a while. We'll see where it goes. If the Gov takes it back, they'll DRMO it again and if the original deal was not legit, I'll buy it back. Briggs loves the truck, I don't need it but I fear my youngest is...

    I purchased it from a private party. I got a bill of sale, registered it, put insurance on it and have had it for almost 3 years now. We'll see what comes of it. I'm not suspected of any wrongdoing but I'm worried the truck may go away. I won't fight it, heck I really can't I don't think...

    Got a lovely phone call from NCIS today, the dang thing could possibly be hot!!! In my eyes, what a kick in the tail. I'm not sure where this mess may go but I've truly got the wind knocked out of me at the moment. I'll know more Monday when I go in to do an interview with the investigator...
