. It really isn't hard to put that glass in. Soap is the key for slicking up the rubber. Having your piece of glass the RIGHT SIZE will save you plenty of pain and grousing and grumbling. A piece of plastic to practice with will make your life easier too.

. Definitely sounds like "gunk" of some sort is in there. I really wish I had the waste water reclamation facility that the company I worked for had. It was really nice to be able to drop a steam wand into the tank and let it run for half an hour. The hot water and pressure would force the...

. Welcome to Steel Soldiers and the military vehicle collecting sickness! It is most often accompanied by glassy eyes while staring at green or tan or multi-color former military trucks. :) There are a bunch of us, so you will be in good company! Obviously, the latest trucks being returned...

. Depends on how much crud might have gotten suspended in the fuel and picked up and moved into the filters. It was really weird on one of my trucks... Cranked it, drove it maybe a mile and parked it. It sat for another week or two. Went to crank it again and the truck would sputter and...

. Hi nikojo , There are all kinds of rubber window seals and over the years - I have seen some folks installing windows on YouTube videos. I looked and looked trying to figure out the NAME of the product. I may have found it finally! Trim-Lok (Picture Below) Comes in rolls so you can...

. That is a perfect statement. Find What You Enjoy and Go Use It.

. And I am not sure if he has male or female - but we do have a member here in the Classifieds that has sold them in bags of a hundred. I bought a bag and fixed a bunch of mine on my wrecker. Same fittings as on the HMMWV

. First time I saw PCB in these forums I was really wondering what it had to do with these trucks and those metal plates that get stuck to transformers. From way back when... Metal Plates with sticky on the back, Thousands of yellow warning stickers too. PolyChlorinated Biphenyls...

. Thank You! That is what these things are really for... Fun for you, fun for the family, and fun with a few smiles from the people on the parade route. Nice looking trucks!

. Thanks Rich. There is a lot of good in what you have said in both of these updates. I can't speak for the overland community either because I just don't have one and I decided long ago that wasn't for me. The ability to hit the road with a small, somewhat fuel efficient vehicle makes a lot...

. Action is referring to the thing on the dash that is supposed to monitor the restriction through the air filter. Thing about the size of a prescription bottle...

. Nice write-up. Yeah, it isn't green but it definitely looks like you have done some good thinking and planning. Nice looking rig - and the other pics you offered up with the trailer would be cool. Very good looking truck richingalveston !

Readiness Sustainment Maintenance Site @ Fort Riley, Kansas Hate to be the bearer or bad news about mileage, but military vehicles are exempt from mileage (odometer) requirements. If the speedometer is swapped out, chances are good that it got changed and started at zero. Most are low mileage...

. I did a web search "chemically clean fuel tanks" and was surprised how much popped up. Maybe something useful with a little reading...

. You would have hundreds of dollars in that green foam wouldn't you? Wonder if there is a spot of rust under the seat on the valve stem? The last discussion about leaky stems was a socket that was ground to a point so it wouldn't pop off the nut. I am guessing you got the stems a new set of...

. Well that looks like it was a fun run! Happy that you made it home safe and sound. Both of the little people have their smiles on, so it is a really good day! You might look down in the fuel tank for indications of the creeping diesel crud. Might be that some SeaFoam would limber it up the...

. I couldn't resist the turret comment before. Riding around in LA makes you a brave soul. Remember, the strongest part of that truck is the bumper if things go south.

. Well Congratulations! You may not be able to go as fast as a Class A Motorhome, but you can definitely get out in the woods and have fun. Even better that your girl is happy with the idea! Just don't wear her out on the idea because you are always working on the truck. Easy to get wound...
