    Trailer mounted temp ground?

    . I guess it is an "old man-ism" that says to drive a ground rod. On the other hand, that Grounding Electrode Array is pretty nice. And if you ever have to beat feet, it might be possible to yank that out of the dirt and go roaring down the road... :cool: Once learned, some things are good...

    . Yeah, sadly Chinlish is hard to interpret... Used to be Spanglish but the times have changed.

    M 1084A1 Air venting when park brake valve disengaged

    . Crows Feet are magic. Used to work on a lot of corner mounted derricks and the only way to get to the hydraulic hoses was with "an old crow". They do help you understand how tight is tight enough when you use them. Good and snug is more than enough when addressing JIC fittings...

    . Welcome to the Ourfit! Congratulations on purchasing your new-to-you HMMWV! There is a young man in Texas that has three young children who hosts a YouTube channel called Demolition Ranch. His babies ride in that vehicle regularly so you might search his channel about his hummer. Might...

    A Hens Tooth Up For Auction

    . BERZERKER888 , Maybe you need to call up and tell the mechanics that replaced your transmission. Tell them your job was so cheap that you just wanted to pay them twice... :cool: Especially compared to what this auction truck went for. I can't imagine WHO would have paid what appears to be...

    M998 REAR TAIL LIGHT LEDS

    . So, I may have lied. The official part from the military surplus dealers. Price is more like $50, possibly more. I wanted to give you the right answer. There MAY be other choices too - that I don't know about - but the Digital Flasher is definitely what you need to use LED signal bulbs in...

    M998 REAR TAIL LIGHT LEDS

    . LED's generally require an "electronic flasher" to make the bulbs blink. They don't draw enough current to heat up the piece of metal (in the old mechanical flasher) enough to make it flex and cause the flash to happen. Cost for the electronic flasher is about 3x the old style - but it will...

    How do I post videos?

    . I think the goal is/was to have US (the members) to have images in particular as uploads - to keep things from disappearing over time. Where there are step by step instructions on how to do something for example. Either way it works, just sometimes things go poof and disappear...

    . One of our members has a collection of 3 Deuces and two trailers that he listed in Classifieds today. 3 trucks for 18k along with two M105 trailers and a couple of spare transmissions and other parts seemed like a heck of a deal to me. Been sitting for about four years, but they might be...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    . Ya know... I think @Another Ahab is onto something jrtoffroad. We all know without question that what you are going through is BS. Problem is knowing that and not being able to scream foul and actually get something done can't really be fixed without from your congressman. You have tried...

    New Member from Virginia

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Happy to have you as part of the group. Don't hesitate to ask questions. You will get plenty of ideas and suggestions. Heck, if you find a truck and want an opinion - I am pretty sure the guys will give you their thoughts. There is a TM (Technical Manuals) section...

    Vintage pics of M809s at Aberdeen Proving Ground

    . Definitely worthy of saving for historical purposes. Sure would be neat to know more about the salesman too...

    How do I post videos?

    . Sad to say that SS doesn't have the hardware to host Video. We have the ability to host and post images and PDFs only. Kinda "screwy" but the only choice at the moment is to upload a video to YouTube or other similar site - then link back to it. LINKS rather than posting the image or file...

    Minimum fuel for starting engine

    . Any chance you have access to "house air?" so you can mostly plug the tank filler hole with rags and kinda pressurize the tank? ASSUMING that your truck hasn't sat around so long that the creaping crud fungus among us hasn't started growing in the tank? And that maybe the green slime in the...
