    Welding on a vehicle

    I need to repair the driver side rocker on my M101 tow vehicle, a '91 Dodge 3/4 Ton, 5.9L, 4x4, HD susp., regular cab, long bed. I know I need to disconnect the batt before mig welding. Will I explode if I don't drop the gas tank, too? I'm hoping to make this a morning repair, not an all...

    Yankee Ingenuity or **** Fool?

    I'm getting a little ahead of myself since I'm still Deuceless, but I have these parts kicking around and I'm starting to think how to connect them up. I have an electric water heater for a house that was replaced before I realized all it really needed was a new heating element. It's basically...

    Legal and Safe?

    How illegal and how unsafe is it to install something like a MEP003A or 004A in a detached garage/barn/shed, fireproof vent the exaust, power vent the building, stick a 250gal tank in the corner and a manual transfer switch to power the nearby house in a power failure (and the garage as needed...

    LDT in something other than a Deuce?

    I noticed a thread on a Deuce with a V8 and I've seen some similar stories in the past. I wonder has anyone popped an LDT into something else? For instance I have an old Dodge Ram p/u. It's big and slow (not as big or slow as a Deuce) and pulls strong. I just wonder how it would work with a...

    M101 Recovery, Ft Drum

    I am just winding down from a successful recovery of an M101A2 from Fort Drum. Won in March, EUC just cleared, pickup went smooth other than believing Tom Tom instead of Google and driving an extra 1 1/2 hours on the trip up and a flat tire on the trip back. Doghead - THANK you for the most...

    You were assessed to purchase . . .

    So I got this official looking letter from Defense Logistics Agency telling me I was assessed, reminds me of what I signed (the EUC app), yada yada. It doesn't actually SAY approved or denied. Are they just telling me they are looking into it or are they sideways saying I'm good to go? The...

    M101A2 Interior Headroom?

    I'm in the infamous EUC holding pattern... while I wait I'm trying to justify the purchase to my wife. In addition to yard work I plan to use it for camping. It would be great if the interior (with canvas on) dimensions are big enough to use as a "tent". So from the cargo bed to the underside...

    Deuce sighting in NH

    So I was on a drive with family and my son calls out "DAD! There's a Deuce for sale over there! We turned around and it turned out he was right! Well... It's a '73 AM General w/ drop sides on display at a truck service. And its only $6995! (cough) For MY first deuce that seems a little...

    How about alcohol? (and a gas tax question)

    OK. First off, I like the search function suggesting threads based on the subject. Will a multifuel engine run on straight ethanol (or a mix at least?) Alcohol - make your own fuel? - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite answers that for the most part. It sounds as though if the...

    SF-97, *exactly* what is it?

    Is the SF-97 the form used to apply for the military's title for the vehicle? Or is the SF-97 the military title sent to you after applying for it? Is the document you get actually a title, a certificate of origin, a bill of sale? I guess what I'm asking is exactly what gets sent back to...

    M101A2 "Features"?

    I'm awaiting an EUC on an M101A2 (sent to Battle Creek, should hear back in a couple of years). In the meantime I'm reading up on it and finding all sorts of cool things about it that I didn't know. I thought I was getting an inexpensive box on wheels that would look wicked cool taking junk to...

    First purchase, an M101A2 into Mass. EUC Question

    I've never bought anything on GL before. I submitted the EUC via email w/ the signed "online" EUC and my license attached. I think it is all correct except I put "yard work" for purpose and I suppose it would have been better to write personal or hobbiest? My cell phone is provided by work and...
