2205 East Beltline Road in Carrollton. It runs from 10 till 2. 2205 east belt line road, carrollton, tx - Google Maps You shouldn't miss the place. There is a long frontage and there will be tons of vehicles out there. They will have large Jeep and Ram balloons in the grass. I was kinda...

I did look through the site you listed. That's what gave me hope that we could round up some vehicles. Most of the members rides would fit right in. The GM CUCVs would be crossing the line a wee bit. :mrgreen: This is a Chrysler hosted event. That's why I specified vehicles built by Chrysler or...

The Chrysler parts Distribution Center is hosting it's third annual meet and greet on May 12. The previous two years have each seen more than 130 vehicles in attendance. Everything from pre-war cars, hot rods, classics, muscle cars, Vipers, race cars, cruisers, and everything in between. The one...

If the guy in the 5 ton would have turned the front tires towards the ditch he would have been out just after the pull started. When you're being drug backwards on loose ground you need to point the tires the direction you want the front of the rig to go. What he did was force the front of...

We're putting together a cruise-in in Carrollton. It's going to be held at the Chrysler Parts Distribution Center at 2205 E Beltline Rd. You are free to come and go between 10 and 2. The Chrysler corporate guys contacted me last year about putting this together and the Cowtown Mopar Club pulled...

It's on again! Last year the Chrysler corporate people asked my car club for a little help putting together an open house for their employees. Instead of bringing out a couple old cars to look at, we flooded them with 137 vehicles of all types. Everything Chrysler related was there with one...

It's a little geeky/nerdy for most folks I'm sure but it's a great way to figure out what you need to get a job done.

I never thought of using the pulling truck and two snatch blocks. Does this method still multiply the pulling force or does it simply spread the load over more cable? I was digging around on youtube to find some winchouts and ran across a disturbing video. No doubt you'll have a few unhealthy...

oopsie! Here's the pic.

You really should not get a heavier vehicle (the 5 ton) close to a lighter vehicle (the deuce) that sank quickly and easily. Keep your distance. Texas sinkholes get sneaky. Some areas have pockets of water close to the surface. If you move a few feet one way or the other you'll be on hard...

I've been lurking in the shadows and living vicariously through you folks with big green trucks since I have yet to find the funds for one of my own. I read lots of the posts about winch installs and other mechanical repairs/modifications. It's self-evident that these trucks aren't...

The windshield washers are great. What would make them even better would be to install a heater on the line or in the reservoir like you find in Mercedes cars. It circulates engine coolant through a coil in the reservoir to heat the fluid. It really bites when you squirt fluid on your...

It was a great time! At last count there were 118 vehicles in attendance with more coming and going as the day progressed. Unfortunatley, there was not a single MV anywhere to be found.

True, but I had Power Wagons on the brain when I wrote that. I've been talking to all kinds of clubs trying to build interest. I really hope some MVs show up.

It was a sharp looking single axle crew cab conversion. I like the truck! You need to come out to the PDC cruise-in.

The folks at Mopar have decided to add a raffle for some really neat stuff from MOPAR to benefit the North Texas Food Bank. The more cans you bring the better your chances. I know with the quality of Mopar Clubs involved here we can fill a Dodge Ram but wouldn’t it be cool if they had to use one...

I know about the Shermans (and early Abrams) but It simply didn't seem realistic to get real armor there. I had no idea who owned the Sherman there but I've certainly spent some time wishing I could take it out for a spin. [thumbzup]

I already slid in a request for Power Wagons and Kaiser Jeep M35s. [thumbzup] I'm kinda sneaky like that. :twisted:

I'm in desperate need of Jeep built trucks. They're only needed for a few hours on a Saturday. The manager of the Chrysler Parts Distribution Center in Carrollton, TX is having an open house. This is the first time EVER for an event like this. He approached me looking for some cars to have on...

For those not familiar with them, turbos do not have conventional shaft seals. They spin so fast that rubber seals would die. Instead, they have close tolerance "slingers" that are hard and keep the oil from splashing on the shaft. If the oil return line is plugged or runs uphill the oil will...
