July 24th, 2016. Anyone here have good connections with Fiat Chrysler? Any chance we can get them to dump their bogus project pickups and bring in some rebadged KIA M425's (Diesel M715) series trucks. From what I have seen of late, Chrysler, as usual, is pi--ing in the wind and is sure to...

June 25th, 2016. Looks like Davis- Monthan AFB and Boeing are going to be a little busier pulling FA-18's off of the deadline and repairing them for the USMC due to delays on the F-35 project. Perhaps there are a couple of F4-U Corsairs or F3F4 Wildcats that could improve our response time...

October 27th, 2015. Gents: I have a Unimog S404.114 listed in the classifieds and hope to find it a good home here in Illinois, as the reason is due to a possible reposting to another NPS site fairly far away from Springfield. What I will be looking for is a U1300L with High Speed or Ultra...

February 13th, 2014.:shrugs: Gentlemen: The last couple of cold snaps have revealed an odd behavior trait on my 1963 Swiss Cargo Unimog with pertronix ignition and electric fuel pump set up. At zero degrees F or below, the truck will crank, but will not fire, and within a very few seconds...

December 23rd, 2013. Gentlemen: This should go along with the WWII U.S.Navy Drone in the Conversations section. Apparently our older F-16's are destined to a newer, shorter life as drones. Does the conventional F16 use a cooling system in the cockpit like the drone does...
