Just as the title says, list out your very first modification to your rig....elaborate if you want to on whether or not it was a good decision. Mine was the addition of the new alernator and it has been churning out power perfectly for the short time I have owned it. I would be very...

So, I was thinking that since I have a slight brake problem on the 5 ton I would go ahead and upgrade to a disk brake on the pinion for the front axle. My question is, how do I go about doing this? Could I run the drums on the outsides and the disk on the pinion? What effect would air over...

Yesteday I had the opportunity to do my very first modification on the 5 ton. I drove down to Monroe, Mi and met Tim with Wolverine Technologies and got a chance to see his very cool Duece. I called Tim as I was on my way down there and he put me together a kit for my multi fuel. I am...

I I just went out and started my truck and checked the lights and new alternator and I think I may have a little issue with the temperature. I was intending on warming up the truck to operating them to check all the gauges and fluids.....so i let it warm up for about 8 minutes and hopped in...

Well, I have made a few posts here about my recent Green Iron purchase....and I am not afraid to admit that I am addicted. I bought my 1966 M54A2 off a guy from Craigslist and I couldn't be happier....well I might be if the truck was a Cummins or if I found a brick of gold in the glovebox... I...

So, I went to the Secretary of State (DMV) here in Michigan with not a single piece of paper from the previous owner of the truck.....and to my suprise I walked out with a temporary tag and a title reciept. The title and the historic plate will be in my hands in less than 30 days. I got a...

So, the drivers side, rear forward tire is flat and I have to take it into the shop to repair it....they are all freaked out about taking it off the truck...I think they are just ignorant to the specifics of the truck and they wanted to give me a hard time because the owner was around....but...

So, on the M54A2, will a suction hand pump at each bleeder valve get all the air out of my lines and harden up my brake pedal? (barring any other unforseen problems) I have the DOT 5, Hand Pump and the 7/16'' wrench standing by....but I think I might have to have the air pressure up and do...

Well, I am back under the hood on day 2 of ownership and it is nice to say that there was a wrench in my hand and it was really easy to remove the alternator. The previous owner had disconnected the alternator and left the wire dangling. So I dug into it today. 5 minutes into it and the...

Well, The journey has begun. Today I got my new M54A2 W/W delivered to my house. I decided to get it towed because I have never driven a truck this big and it is not insured or registered. It runs great and fires right up. I have noticed a few things that I need to address very soon. The...

I need your help in getting some information on a truck that I looked at today. I am very new to the MV market and I don't want my first purchase to be a bad one because I didn't know what I was getting into. So, here goes. I took a test ride in the truck today and I am definetely interested...

So, I have spent countless hours reading the posts in here and I am very impressed, SS is at the top of my favorites bar! I recently sold my Hummer H1 and have been really wanting to get back into the military vehicle scene.....so, it only seems the logical thing to do is to upgrade to a 5...
