    WWII 1/4 ton trailer

    The spring hangers have the three holes, that's the easiest tell for WWII trailers. New wheels, tailgate, floor, drain plugs, hubs, lunette, landing gear.. thats about $1k in parts. Don't forget the safety chains, lights, harness, BO light switch, new fender, paint.... :( The golden age of...

    K-43 phone maint./poll setter

    Wiring for the CCKW/Chevys has gone through the roof. I got quotes of over $1100 for a full CCKW harness. A Chevy is a little smaller, but I would still expect the worse. Engine cab should not be hard, its just a standard G506, but aft of the cab (sheet metal etc) you are gonna need some mad...

    Who fixes Deuces near the Lehigh Valley Pa?

    Start collecting 3/4in drives and sockets when you see them on sale. TSC has a set for not to much money. You will run into a few that need 1+ inch.

    New CCKW owner in PA

    Did you check the frame SN? Still got some parts to bolt on... but looks good from this distance

    Lucas oil additive

    The 'reviewer' is evidently an AMSOIL distributor... while there are some valid questions in the review, it is CLEARLY biased. Also, one AMSOIL study said that 'disposing of waste oil is typically very costly' GuardianPestFleetStudy-g2244 Um... no, its not. Now a days you get a buck or two a...

    Lucas oil additive

    I'm gonna run out and put LUCAS in my Dodge 4-banger... I could use and extra 30% more gas mileage... and to think I traded in a Durango when all I needed was mystery goo. No one is gonna change any ones mind. HISTORY is on the side of the no-goo-in-the-engine guys. An M35A2 from 1969 was...

    Lucas oil additive

    So Lucas (as 'documented' on this forum) got 3 MPG MORE on the trip home. M35A3 gets about 8Mpg. 3/8 = .375 Ok... so LUCAS is getting one guy 30%+ more MPG? Come one... as for 'cooler' running. Got a laser thermometer? Post some numbers... use straight 90wt for X miles, record temp. Add...

    Lucas oil additive

    People cling to their view no matter what the other side says. Oil meets strict API standards.. tests are documented, and can be reviewed. What standards does Lucas oil meet? What testing HAVE THEY DONE? Where is THEIR control engine with a million miles of use? They will not even tell you...

    Lucas oil additive

    :mrgreen:Engineers are the last people I want to take my advice from. Just about EVERY snake oil you can pour in your engine has been debunked. There *ARE* case studies of public transit buses that went on for YEARS on nothing but dino oil and with regular oil testing they show that engines...

    Generator Regulator adjustment ?

    You only need to polarize if the generator has been replaced/disconnected from the regulator. I think hes more confused on why he is not pegging the amp meter at full charge (40A). There are lots of reasons... first, your battery voltage will be a big factor. You will not charge at a high...

    Lucas oil additive

    Control groups? Sample size? Internet scientists are the worst. They took the same display as Lucas has and run it through some tests and got results. The most startling one is the amount of air they were able to entrain in the lucas oil. *MAYBE* you need to reach a critical temp before the...

    Generator Regulator adjustment ?

    Is this for a CCKW??? There is no 'charge light' (unless you have some sort of shop/radio truck variant?). If you want to increase the current output of the genny, then rev up the engine. IIRC you need 1000-1500 RPMs before the genny will cut in. If you have a voltmeter, the data plate on...

    Transmission oil

    Ain't no gear oil o the planet gonna he with shifts.. you can either double clutch or you can't. During the War most, if not all trans/transfer oil was 90 weight. Army Motors (the real one) had a big write up. You do realize this is the CCKW forum? Ain't no semi-synthetic in any manual I own.

    Anneville Pa Auction Pick Up help

    You're not allowed to talk about talking about NOT talking about auctions. Evidently the gubment is out to get surplus buyers because some of the big boys might/were colluding. :cookoo: Yeah.. they wear that tin foil hat pretty tight. I expect to get a nasty PM just for mentioning it. Your...

    Anneville Pa Auction Pick Up help

    I live in Gordon (about 20 miles from the GAP) and there is a local heavy towing company HAMMERS in Minersville. Google them, or I can get you a number. You can park it at my place also... but you would need a rollback to get it in (it has to be backed in).

    CCKW / M35 brake master cyl. interchangable?

    It should work as long as you check that the mounting holes in the casting are threaded as per the CCKWs mounting holes. There are some M35 MBC's that are threaded correctly (for CCKW use), and others that are not. I have no idea which ones are which. CCKW MBC's are available.... is yours...

    GL Employee Damages My M1009 & Insists I Pick It Up

    If they refuse to a recording, then overnight them a letter stating the damage and cite the rules from their own web site. No e-mails, no calls. Verbal agreements are a bitch to enforce... but put it in writing and you are covered, and they know you are collecting information for use against...

    Vehicle Reg. requirements page.

    A simple table with States on one axis and columns for general requirements would be the best starts. Columns could be: Can Reg without Title Min Age for Classic Min Age for Antique Class of License Req etc etc etc <rant>The MVPA is a jeep club. I wouldn't join again no matter what.</rant>

    WA / OR non-CDL guys

    Actually, the Constitutions Enumerated powers (supposedly) limits the Federal Gubment to regulation of Interstate Commerce. Technically they should not have the right to 'reach' inside a State with regulations. They can and do, but still need a nexus to Interstate commerce. States on the...

    WA / OR non-CDL guys

    Whats odd is that I can drive a truck of 26,001+ lbs without a CDL (but would need a Class 'A' license) in PA AND WA and not a thing WA can do about it. You can not. Federal CDL requirements are specifically worded to include in commercial use. States may write stricter laws, but why is...
