    Head light problem

    Measure the resistance of the filaments before you burn out bulbs. You have the left side working correct? If so, put the new bulb on the working side and see if it still works. Napa, batteries & bulbs, online MV parts dealers,semi truck parts store are all good headlight sources. Use the...

    Head light problem

    Well that sux, this shouldn't be that hard to make work. It should work on 12v, but just glow orange, not smoke. On the back of the sealed lamp. The 3 wires make a u shape. Bottom side is ground.(91). Right side is high beam (17). Left is low beam (18 ) . you could put a 20A fuse inline with...

    Head light problem

    Nice looking goat. Congrats! Gotta go back to basics. Are you using 24v head lamps? To make the filaments smoke you would have to put more than 24vdc into the bulb. With jumper wires (hi, low, ground) directly off of the batteries, can you light the lamp without smoke? Sent from my...

    June 24/25, 2017 Idaho MVPA Vintage Military Show & Swap Meet

    Ditto on the Thanks for such a great job on the photos of the event. A lot different from when they held it on the dry dusty sun scorched dirt of the motor pool. Might have to throw this back into the father's day rotation.

    SEORTM Tires

    Thanks. That is off road and one size larger. Any SEORTMs with 1600x20s? Clearance on mine, current config, 1200 x 20 NDTs, btw. Maybe it is the mudflap that is making the wheel well look smaller.

    SEORTM Tires

    So this is for the small handful of SEORTM owners out there in Steel Soldiers land. And maybe some of the Exspansible Van folks. Borrowed from Olive-Drab Borrowed from some Russian Minecraft gaming site. 1.) What size tires & type are you running currently? 2.) What have you seen others use...

    Kia Military Vehicles

    I was searching to for the stock wheel size on the 5 ton SEORTM and a video for KIA Military Vehicles popped up in the search. Even though it was from 2010, there were some pretty unique designs presented. Maybe a new source for parts. Just wander into you local KIA dealership and get parts for...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    On the drain valve heaters, can they be wired in series, with one switch? Some folks run two 12vdc components ( head lamps or side view mirror heaters/defrosters) that way. The downside is if one fails, both do not work. Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Tapatalk

    Catastrophic Failures

    Catastrophic failure or rapid disassembly? When the NHC-250 remote fan mounting bolts aren't tight on the 600 mile recovery trip. I didn't witness the temp gauge go up, but the front window began to fog and there was a certain familiar sweet smell. You'd think a -Desert Storm- truck wouldn't...

    New Gamma owner. Hello from Poland.

    I am glad you decided to post up a thread showing the progress you have made on your goat. You have a very nice rig there. She looks great. And now you have a new local friend in dmetalmiki. I look forward to following your progress.

    Need help locating a part

    The experienced would start a thread about the project / repair or add an entry to the 'What have you done to your deuce this week'. Post some pix of the progress. Then say "now all I need to find is a couple of these rubber squares.". Next thing you know people are falling over themselves to...

    M939A2 Adjustable return fuel check valve.

    Are you looking for fuel at the injector, by loosening a fitting, or are you saying each step was a failure because the engine didn't start? I would look for fuel at different points along the path. Also check the fuel cut out switch and mechanism on top of the IP. Is the 936 a Cummins nhc250...

    PNW Info Thread!

    I am no lawyer, but I would ask when the 9 digit rule went into effect, and if the WA title was issued before then, see if it is grandfathered in. I guess I now need to go look and see if I have 9 digit VIN titles. Also, welcome to the hobby & site. Good luck. Sent from my Selectric...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Aerodynamics was always brought up as a concern with school bus fronts on the skoolie forums. But there, I was told that the aerodynamics from flat shapes and air dams didn't start to make a significant difference until you reached speeds in excess of 60 mph. A bit of a dream for school buses...

    S-280 door peephole

    Maybe an opportunity to mount a fisheye backup camera for the drivers compartment, and have an extra monitor for inside the box

    S-280 door peephole

    They have a TM for everything, even tent GP small :) Got a pic? Of the void, as you are looking for the part? I am guessing it is in the door. I have a 250g for the back of the GOAT, and the closest thing I have to a peep hole is the emergency exit panel. With the TM you need to find a -34p...
