    High Priced Deuce!

    I'll agree with that, you just have to play harder and if they call your stuff junk, call them on their BS, and when you say their 'top of the line' stuff is over priced, that just shows you're an expert. There's no reason to get hostile though. But seriously folks, you're paying for vehicles...

    Anyone have one of these Macks?

    I guess they must be rare, its the first time I've ever seen one, anyone know where/when the served?

    M35A2 front on a M35A3?

    Haha, it reminds me of a hammerhead shark.

    Anyone have one of these Macks?

    I saw this sweet picture today and thought I'd share it. Someone said it was a Mack NO Prime Mover for larger field guns. Anyone have one? Anyone know anything about it? I see a hoist in the back as well as a field gun, and I guess some sort of winch on the front. I like the cab, it's...

    How do I check my brake fluid??

    It threw me off initially too. The 15 or so deuce manuals on this site are buried in 12 pages of about 280+ other manuals that are randomly organized in a non-searchable database, listed in colors that are hard to see on some LCD monitors, then each manual is about 500 pages of stuff that...

    How About A V8?

    How much torque does the MF put out? It's got the horsepower of a Honda Accord with the torque of what? A medium duty truck or a pickup?

    US to transfer HMMWVS to Iraq

    Hmmmmmm lets see? Am I the first to use hummer in this thread? NOPE! Lets us count shall we? 1. 2. 3. I don't need a terminology check on your HMMWV. I know what a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle is, Hummer is easy to say. It's not the H1 Hummer's fault that GM thought...

    How-to: fixing a leaky outside axle seal

    Oil is not a solvent it's not going to wash you grease away. If it was properly greased before it'll remain greased with oil around it. I might give it a dab of grease when I checked the brakes, but really guys, that cork key way stopper is useless, sooner or later it'll leak and I'm sure the...

    What does "combat starter" mean?

    It'll only start if you shoot at it.

    US to transfer HMMWVS to Iraq

    No offense to hummer owners, but while it is a cool looking vehicle, nobody can doubt that the 6.5 is a dog, and the hummer is uncomfortable and unreliable at best. The vehicle was meant to be a jeep that doesn't flip over with a higher ground clearance than the CUCV blazers, not an armored...

    My fire extinguisher is mounted on the dash.

    Firing up an old marine diesel

    Haha, there's nothing like a diesel runaway to ruin a good pair of pants. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Oh, dear god, please don't impale me with a rod while I try to kill this monster.

    Will this filter WMO?

    If you want something you can use to move oil with air pressure get a pneumatic drain tank. It's a waste oil tank that has an air input and regulator at the top. You connect it to the air supply and it pushes the oil out of the hose connected at the bottom at what ever psi you put into it...

    Replacing reflectors with lamps.

    Ah, I like those! Good info.

    Firing up an old marine diesel

    Depends on the service history prior to restarting. In theory if it's not seized up, I would just try starting and see if it builds oil pressure, then I would get the oil warmed up and then change it. If it's not running well I would check the condition of the fuel. If it doesn't turn over...

    Replacing reflectors with lamps.

    Are these the markers you are referring to? They look pretty good. Which reinforcing are you referring to? I don't have my deuce with me right at the moment to look at it. Depending on the reinforcing, you're talking about I fear it might either be too difficult to get a nut in there to bolt...

    Replacing reflectors with lamps.

    The deuce is a dark bastard. Something about that OD seems to suck in the light surrounding it. Legally in Texas, since my deuce is over a certain width I should have marker lights on it. I've already connected my rear parking lamps to my front parking lamps, so that when my service lights...

    24volt to 12volt

    Theoretically you could use a 12 to 24v converter and charge the 24v batteries using a 12v vehicle, to get enough power to start. Or you could charge each battery individually. Although, that wont help you if you battery goes bad and you just need to fire it up enough to get the engine going...

    Redneck A/C and tool boxes on my M820A2

    I have that same power inverter installed in the floor of my deuce, I also have a similar a/c unit in my garage in a pile of stuff, hmmm.....
