I believe it is the Brake Pedal Treadle venting till my 3 Tanks are empty over night? I have a hard time following long explanations of a repair due to my old age?? A picture of what I am getting into would be nice. I think it is the part operated by the Brake Pedal just behind it. Sure as heck...

Put the New LED's on and only have a High Beam on drivers side and nothing else?? Heading to see my doctor in a few but will look into it later? Both were wired the same and I checked fuses but seems there on a 15A Auto Fuse and one was working so it must be good??? I did look around for a while...

Got the Speedometer working nice and smooth now except it is off a little??? I set the DIP Switches to the same setting as the Old ones were. Need to find out which ones to switch to Up the Speed some on the back of the Speedometer. I drove 25 miles but only registered 18 miles so I know I am...

First Parade and it was fun then after it was over went for a 70 mile floored drive! Man this truck runs nice and smooth for a 2 1/2 ton Tactical Vehicle! Cranked up the music and just waved at a lot of people going by. I drove to out VFW Place in Tonasket and took a picture.

Just went out and since the axle is on a jack stand you can't see it flat. Checked the pressure 5 lbs in it and flat again. Filled it back up and sprayed soapy water on parts. First part I did was the fill hose that keeps the tires full of air. The fitting going into the rim is leaking. Looks...

Where are you guys putting a in-line Coolant Winter Heater on the 3116 Engine? I want to try and not use either to start but warm up the engine. I did notice the engine does not want to start as nice at 28-30 degs then 70+ degs! I want to plug in my engine at home so it will start. I could heat...

My 2 Rear Tires should be here Tue/Wed this coming week. I figured I would save money and remove the tire & rims myself so I tried today. Removed the 20 lug nuts what a job! I had to use a 3/4" Air Impact Driver. The Tire Shop was concerned about the 40 smaller bolts holding the rims together...

Stopped at the Lumber Yard to show off the M1078 and the guys were not there? So on leaving I looked on the passenger side cause the drivers side had a truck in the way. Figured how I would turn to back out. Started backing up and it made a noise inside the cab? Thought the tire rubbed on the...

No way could I get wrenches, cheater bar ect on it to get mine off!! I was also afraid of messing up the Cooling Radiator Core!! Removing the Front Glad-Hands on the M1078 the easy way. Take A 38mm Socket and a Impact Driver, work the socket over the end sticking out and it will remove them...

Wow what a night we had a Arsonist light 4 fires and it still might get to our home! We were supposed to leave but did not evacuate were under a Level 3 right now the fire is 2 mile away but the winds made it travel 20 miles last night and go by us. If the winds had shifted we would have ate...

The 2 1/2 Ton was a friends who bought a 1952 Tucker Snow Cat off me I was fixing up. I drove it off a bank into his truck. A few more of my M-37 playing in the snow and some of the front to rear skid plates I made for it. A few of the first 48 Power Wagon I restored in my garage when it was...

I guess after a while I get to post in the other groups. Here are the ones I have built from junk and the M1078 I will be enjoying!
