Look at the brightside, you burned up any old fuel that you had and are ready to put good clean fuel in the tank. My 5T gets a good solid 3 MPG. Of course that is in all around driving and not just highway. My guess is that it gets 3.1 on Hwy and 2.9 around town. :-D

Just in case you didn't get it. Here is pic of your ride yesterday. Nice looking truck.

funny thing happened today with the amubulance. Filled it up Friday evening, or so I thought. Drove to Oly yesterday and back. Went out today took it for a 10 mile drive and on the way home, on I-5 is started dying out. It sounds like it is out of fuel. Fuel economy isn't great, but it gets...

Here are few of the photos of the gang from yesterday. Sorry I am not a more diligent photographer.

Good job. Way to go team!

Thank you for the turnout today. The Museum manager was impressed and pleased. Dale somehow in the confusion I missed you today, thank you for bringing big red. I will get some pictures posted tomorrow, am beat now. Got home and unloaded the display stuff, cleaned and lubed gear and now it...

Rats! am finishing loading and will be on my way. Am doing an Operation Varsity display today. March 24th 1945. 17th AB. Hope to see you all there. P

That isn't what it says in their definitions on the CT DMV website. It says vehicle that is over 20 years old. Most of the time you run into folks that are not used to licensing vehicles that are different. Sorry I am just a bit radical when it comes to having government do what it says in...

Hello Team, Teri at the Olympic Flight Museum is looking to borrow a Water buffalo trailer for the Father's day weekend air show. It has to be in good shape for potable water. They need it for furnishing water to food vendors. Some one lent one last year, but that person has apparently moved...

Green jeepster, it looks like you would fall under the Early American registration, as long as your vehicle is over 20 years old and not altered. 20 bucks. they do really want to get you because you are over 8500 pounds, but if you get a friendly agent, you license issue may be solved.

We will be sharing the parking lot with ADA or handicap parking, also let's wait till about 0900 or when most of the folks get their stuff loaded into the building before we fill the parking lot. They will be trying to get the vendor folks to unload and move out. Will get just across from the...

Sometimes they want to get one year of regular license out of you on a new plated vehicle and then you can go for collector plate next year. But they went straight to collector plate on my 68 5T, so just had to pay sales tax and licensing fees. I think if you look they also got you for...

Welcome back Dale. Big Red is good. Bring what you want. We will have room. Right now they would like those showing vehicles to show up 0900 to 1000 range to give the folks setting up inside, time to use the parking lot before we take it over. See you in the morning. Peter

Amram, you have wipers? And they work? That is just not right. What sort of MV are you driving? :)

It is a 100 percent go for Saturday. Send a note if you see the long bearded guy with a bunch of animals following him. Talked with the museum yesterday and they have about 70 tables reserved for this event inside and we will be taking over the outside. From reserved tables this will be their...

You could also go back to the older school manila rope for your trailer top tie downs. My M416, M100, and M715 tops have manila and they work just fine. A couple of half hitches and you are good to go. You would want to whip off the cut end with a couple wraps for OD duct tape. the rope is...

Hope all the gang is able to show up. Just 5 more days. If you have some stuff for sale and want to sell out of the back of your truck, that can be worked out too. You might donate a few bucks to the museum if you are successful.

A couple weeks ago at work, we started building an above the ground tunnel for a tunnel training aid. There are 6 sections to a segment and each section weighs about 8 tons. I took my 1/2 inch and we adapted it to our commercial portable construction air compressor, it would turn the bolts...

Dale thank you for the tip. Does it have enough juice for lug nuts? I have a 1/2 in air impact and it won't even phase the lug nuts on my 5 T. It works ok for the jeeps and even the M715, but nothing on the big truck.

So what is a 1/2 robotool? Have heard all the other stuff, but not that one. In my searches for stuff, managed to find the stock air line that screws in under the dash and then picked up one of the glad hand lines as well. So far have not had to use them.
