After church and a birthday lunch today for our daughter, I enjoyed an unusually warm October afternoon, 95F, and changed all three fuel filters on our Deuce in preparation for the 2015 Toys-For-Tots season. Our first event for this year is just two weeks away, and others follow in rapid...

REPEATING: Distracted Driving Kills Yup.... Distracted Driving Kills alright. Here's a common sequence of events.... 1. Distracted driving. 2. Sudden situational awareness WITHOUT time or inclination to think before reacting. 3. OVERCORRECTION ! ! ! 4. Vehicle and occupants attempt to...

A product called SEAFOAM works well in eliminating ALGAE in Diesel fuel here in Texas. It's available at Autozone, O'Reilly's, NAPA and other such stores. ------------ By the way..... I see this is your first post to the forums, Texascowboy4x4. Welcome aboard :grin: Find a bunk, stow your...

Here's a link to HF and this item.... http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=can+screwdriver+holder As a cup holder, it won't hold a 44 oz mug of coffee..... but smaller bottles and cans will fit.

THAT is truly a ONE OF A KIND VEHICLE... and quite "purpose built." I APPLAUD your conceptualization and execution!!! So, in a nutshell (pun intended), what you're tellin' us is that you really ARE "from the other side of the tracks", HUH???? Carry on, WM. Carry on.

Tow4: I share your thoughts on the "almost" no wear to the Sprag since the only extra components spinning have no real load on them without the driveshaft installed. Reinstalling the driveshaft for a flat-tow would fully disengage the Sprag though resulting in the absolute minimum wear on the...

Thanks, Valence. It's pretty much agreed that the statements are correct and our understanding of the system functionality is correct. I sure have gotten an accelerated education on the SPRAG. It's a rather ingeniously designed "on demand" engagement mechanism. From this newfound knowledge I...

Our prayers for his family and all who knew him. I am not familiar with his name. Was he an SS Member here? Username? Thank you.

We pray for this driver, for you 98G, and for all who responded and will/are/did render aid. We pray that from this event and your sharing it that others will heed its safety message. We are thankful that you (and your MV) are undamaged, at least in the physical state. Thanks for sharing this...

May I ask, Sir, what your goal is in going with a 5" tube?? - Is it to reduce EGTs? - Is it to produce a deep and loud exhaust sound/noise? - Is it for the visual effect? Please tell us what you're shooting for, since so there are several possibilities. Thank you.

Agreed. If we flat tow I would also reinstall the front driveshaft so this should not be a problem.... unless.... there has already been damage done to the sprag and/or transfer case. <sigh>

Yes, Sir. I was about to PM you with that request. Looks like flat-towing is the best option indeed. I will arrange a POC for drop off and PM that info to you asap. Do you know your ETA at Midland? Thanks. John

It is the exhaust pipe that, as the name implies, is shaped like the letter J and runs from the engine compartment, into the right-hand wheel well (aft area under fender) and then bends UP to connect to the exhaust stack and/or muffler (is so equipped). They are notorious for catching and...

I love snooping on the SS FORENSICS ANALYSIS TEAM when they start dissecting a photo series. [thumbzup]

Sorry for the thread hijacking. Thanks for the GREAT information though. We now return you to our originally posted topic.... Carry on.

Valence, Thanks. That's an interesting thing about towing with the front axle lifted. Since this truck in question has had its front driveshaft removed (and we don't know if it was driven or towed to its present location), I've got to ask: Would pulling the front driveshaft eliminate or...

Thanks for NOT yet deleting this thread. It answered EXACTLY the question for which I was SEARCHing for an answer regarding Air Pack interchangeability as well as CONFIRMATION that the braking systems on the M44 series Deuces and the M809 Series 5-Tons are, in fact, BOTH "AIR OVER HYDRAULIC"...

APPLAUSE ! All I can add is.... I NEEEEEEED A TOWBAR !
