1st Yes you can and 2nd please do a forum search. You are going to get a ton of responses.

I am originally from PA, North Hills Area of Pittsburgh and now live in Ohio. In Ohio, for Historical Military Vehicles you do not have to display the tags. Just stencil the number on the front and rear of the vehicle. In PA you must display the Antique plate as you would a regular plate...

Ditto Doghead! I might add that if the airpack is sticking it will cause an extremely hard pedal with low braking pressure at the wheels. If this is the case, I might suggest what I did. 1. Drain the air out of the whole system. 2. Remove the airlines from the airpack. 3. Add a spritz of...

You stated that your brakes were intermittent. Build yourself a pressure bleeder and bleed the brakes. After that I would disconnect, after bleeding down the air, the lines to your airpack, place a few drops of airtool oil in each of the openings on the airpack, reattach and try it out. I...

Oops, I got ahead of myself. I would skip step one since you have fuel to the I.P. Sorry.

1st I would make sure that the fuel cut off is not stuck in the "Off"(On.For.Flight) position. If they are left pulled out they will stick even though you have pushed the shut off back in. 2nd I would crack an injector line and have someone crank the engine to make sure that fuel is getting...

Are you telling me you never had to get a Gov't Drivers Lic.? BTW Semper Fi ! I was stationed at Cherry Pt in the 80's/90's. Still Miss It Every Day.

What I did was just unhook the lines and turn the relay valve 180 degrees and reinstall the lines correctly. Ill take a picture in the morning.

I will enlighten all. The "Relay Valve" was installed upside down, which meant that the service air was plumbed into the emergency air and the emergency air was plumbed into the service air. What was happening was when the brakes were applied it closed the loop and locked up the brakes...

No one said Army Mechanics were smart. Although it could have been Depot that did the work which may have been a civilian contractor. I hope the later.:shock: Looks like they installed the relay valve upside down which in turn caused the lines to be hooked up inverted. I didn't think that...

That is what I was thinking too. I will pull it and attempt to clean it and put back together. Are you aware of any rebuild kits for it or just find another one?

Before I get flamed for not looking through the TM's and searching the Forums, Been there Done That! I could not find anything close. I have an M105A2 with the dual air lines. I had the airlines hooked up to my M35A2 with the hand brakes released (wheeled freely when moving it around by...

"Witnesses after the show stated that the nosegear did in fact sink into the ground and collapse rearward." The Northwestern. Although the F-16 is a great aircraft, it does have less strength in the the landing gear. In experimental tests early in its developement it failed the Navy's tests...

I got the same e-mail. Sorry for the late post. Good job in getting him banned.

Wow. I don't think he will be flying again unless they determine that it was a hydraulic brake failure (Unlikely). That jet is shot. Wing mounts are probably cracked, radar dome toast, engine F.O.D.ed out, nose gear mount shot. Yup, looks like the scrapper for that one. Although, I have...

That is some funny $%^@ there! Just a thought: A new E-3 walks into the shop fresh out of school and thinks he now knows it all. Remember that someone had to coax him along and explain things as they went, and that he didn't really know as much as they thought. But if you gave...

That is pretty cool. I wonder how well they hold up?

You can't go wrong with a spare on the M105A2 and a spare on the M35A2. That means you are safe if you blow out a set of duals. Great Idea. Besides you need a place to put your extra tires.

As requested from another SS member I am posting pic's of my M105A2 Spare Tire Rack. This was a field modification from the 101st ABN.

I will post some pictures in the trailers section. I received the trailer this way. New lights, wiring harness, brakes, and air lines. I think it was a field mod from the 101st ABN. BTW I think all of the Deuces need the little kid in the back (M105A2).
