This finally dawned on me. Carc should be sprayed with a larger tip like a 1.8mm or a primer tip. Did you have a 1.4mm or 1.5mm tip? This is normally a regular top coat tip. The extra solids in the carc clog up the smaller tips. It this was not the problem then there was a problem with the paint...

The motors, windshields, and wipers are all the same as the deuce. It should not be a problem. If yours have a screw then someone messed with it. Someone may have already "upgraded" At any rate, the modification involves putting a knurled knob on the end of the wiper motor shaft. It should not...

The literature I have specifies a squirrel cage mixer not a shaker. Either you paint was bad, not mixed properly, or you gun set up was wrong. Did you adjust the pressure on the gun or into the gun? There is an adjustment on the gun and it makes a big difference in the spray.

I am not trying to take up for the HOAs but your grandmother signed on to this one when she bought a place within a HOA. We don't need legislation. We need people to stop buying houses that are in a HOA. Some people like living with their neighbors having restrictions. I don't. I never bought a...

Get under it. Good rewelds can't be be seen from the top. The welds are ground down to the point of being invisible under the paint. Most people do not grind down the welds on the underside and the weld line is visible. This is if they did a good job. The hack jobs usually have extra metal on...

That would be great if it works out. I would appreciate it. Thanks Chuck

Is anyone from Michigan or from near Toledo going? I need to get a case of paint a little closer to home. Thanks Chuck

If it was not before it is now. Do not disconnect an alternator from a battery while the truck is running. It spikes the alternator and if the spike does not kill it the alternator will sense zero voltage and start putting out high voltage attempting to charge thin air. Gen 1 is on the...

I have never seen the warning before and we had all kinds of dropside five tons and deuces. I saw a newer box truck with a lift on the back. There were no fewer then 10 warning decals on the side. Has anyone ever saw the movie Idiocracy? The premise was an average or slightly dull guy is wakes...

Because it never comes apart. I have to agree with others. Better to bolt it with the correct grade 8 fine thread bolts. The military bolted them on. I would even bet your hitch is bolted on. Does look like overkill to me but I am sure you have plenty of peace of mind knowing it will not break off.

I guess I was not really done since I went on so much after saying I was done. Now I am really done. :nothingfunny:

I don't agree and am done with this argument. Why not land and LST in the pacific? Why not drive the truck off the LST at Normandy or the docks when they were captured. Vast road network in europe. Isolated islands in Pacific. The only place they would use the trucks would be somewhere they...

Smack the guy at tractor supply twice. Once for suggesting you cut up the trailer and once for not knowing what his company sells. IDIOT. I went into an auto store in Tennessee about 15 years ago asking for anti-seize lube. I told the guy it was gray and was like paste for putting on bolts...

You might want to look again. I think you are talking about the diagnostic connection for the STE-ICE. Is it the one with several pins and about 2.5 inches round? If it is you can move it but be careful about grounding or shorting the terminals. It connects to several subsystems to provide...

As promised. It is the best I could do in a downpour.

One must also remember, we took Jap airfields also instead of making our own. No problem landing at an already established airfield. My biggest point is it would have been much more useless to have the air transportable truck in the ETO. Can anyone argue a transportable truck being more useful...

While I might be wrong I do not agree with your reasoning as to why I am wrong. I actually think you make my case. It was much easier to get a truck somewhere in the ETO. 1) Small island needing a truck with a landing strip would not need a whole LST showing up to provide one or a few trucks...

Bjorn, Mine are still on the trailer and they are connected to a huge switch box. I can take a pic later and post. Also, you should have a hinged cover there to go over the connections for safety. Looks like yours got torn off.

Oil requirements in the forum tips and tricks section? Are changing oil in the search engine? Just bustin your chops. I know you are new here. Welcome and just make sure you are posting to the right forum so you can be sure to get the answer you need. BTW 15W40 is what the military uses now so...

The clutch and fan should freewheel when there is independent airflow to the radiator. At 65 it should be uninterrupted airflow so it really should not be a factor on the freeway. I have heard about a water pump having the impeller come off with no outside indication but then it would overheat...
