So I just bought my first M915A1. Wow. My first problem was with the lights. All fixed now. Second problem is the tachograph. The TM says not to drive without a chart in the tachograph. Normally I can find anything on Google, not this time. Who can help me find a package of charts? The TM lists...

Or did I have my clothes on? I can't remember!

Most fun I've had with my clothes on in years!

jsrovers, you are looking for the 'Holy Grail' of military motorcycles! I don't know if any of the diesel engined 'HDT' KLR's have made it into civilian hands yet. I own (and so does M813RC) a couple of the M1030B1 (gas) KLR650's. I searched for the diesel one for over a year, no dice. There was...

Sorry, I are a bit compooter challenged, I'll try again.....

Just a couple more....

More snow photo's I know that it's no big deal to the rest of the country, but snow in Texas is a BIG deal. I was lucky enough to get to the 'Flying F' Ranch just as it began to seriously dump. Two inches in two hours! I have attached a few photo's, of course they are all military vehicle...

Ahhh.... Sam, that is one of the special CUCV's used for urban training in San Francisco. If you look closely you'll notice the glue stains where the enormous stick on flowers have been removed. Personally, I think you will look FABULOUS driving that one in parades... Don't forget your...

I think the seller might be telling some porky pies..... I've never seen a deuce hold air pressure for a month. The truck is worth exactly what you are willing to pay, no more, no less. Buying your first deuce is an adventure, happy trails! -Sarge

$3,500 for an M35 in that condition in Texas? That is not a good price, by the way, where is it parked? hee-hee! Not a good price at all, it's an EXCELLENT price!!! IF everything you said is accurate......

The -20 is for low-level maintenance, just what a small shop with limited tools can handle. The -34 is for depot level or big shop/fully equipped. You do not absolutely need a -20 if you have a -34 but it's always a good idea to have all of the manuals for your truck. Most CUCV manuals are...

Uh... yeah.... I've got all that stuff and more. I'm a retired old fart so I have the time (not the money) to wrench all day every day. The KLR's are sweet, I love them but my crappy back doesn't allow me to ride often or far. I bought the last one in California (near Yosemite) and attempted to...

Hoopsoft, sorry we missed you last week. We really enjoyed running around your back yard looking at all of your toys. Wiper? Don’t know what you’re talking about. (Hee-hee) $3,500 for the truck? No way! Even if you offered me $3,500 more than I paid, still, no way! Cosmetically it’s really...

IHASFIP, I saw your comments about the guy in Liberty Hill and his deuces. Okay, I wanted to tell you a couple of things about him. First you have to understand that he does not do this as a hobby, for him it is a business. He has to make a profit otherwise he's out of a job. If he has agreed...

Not meaning to hijack this thread, however, I have noticed something strange going on. Everybody on Steel Soldiers is aware of new members who sign up and say, well basically, nothing. After 3 months these new members have 4,000 posts all consisting of "Cool" or "Way to go, dude". Or much worse...

Hey DM! Yesterday I drove an M818 400 miles from Oklahoma to Texas with a straight pipe. Wearing hearing protection (as I always do) the only time I noticed a difference in sound level was going up hills. (No trailer) Now Rory, who was tailgating me in an M1009 said that when I went under an...

Kipman, just curious, I've heard of people using the method that you used, how do you grip the broken off ends and pull them out? Are they magnetic? Do you have to have good motor skills? (That lets me out!) Thanks! -Sarge

I don't know why that posted twice, my mouse finger must be getting jittery in my old age! Although I said thank you to everyone, I especially wanted to personnaly thank GreenBull because his advice was right on the money! -Sarge

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! Tons of good advice in the above posts! I never would have thought of the stoplight switch causing the problem, I checked it right away, mine was adjusted okay. I am very familiar with the brake pad metal lips sticking on the calipers and not sliding freely, this happened...

I replaced all of my military glow plugs with AC Delco 60G's a couple of months ago, works like a champ. Only problem is that the connectors on the military wiring harness are skinny narrow little things and the 60G's are wider, actually a very common width available everywhere. I soldered the...
