    MPG vs HP Compromise

    . Just my assumption. Figuring higher speed - depending on how fast and the gear ratio. I haven't done the math on that. .

    Spare tire mount options?

    . Attach a mini-crane to a trailer attached the Pintle OR, just throw the tires and motorcycle on the trailer and drop it when you get to the campsite. Maybe a cooker on that trailer too with a cord of firewood. .

    MPG vs HP Compromise

    . Best to you on your gearing change. I would like to offer up the idea of balancing your driveshafts if you haven't already done that. You have to remove them to re-gear, so now is a prime time to do that job. And maybe replacing the universal joints as well since they will be spinning...

    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    . That will work. The NSN will give us the information to track down the TM's Contract could be useful too since it sets the time of manufacture.

    MPG vs HP Compromise

    . Well said! A lot of truth in those few words too... .

    Non-opening windshields?

    . You could buy yourself a piece of sheetmetal to replace the hinged windows. Full width and across the center support. Then seal with silicon or something similar to guarantee no water. The sheetmetal fabricator could cut the window holes for you. Or if you are hard core enough with a jig...

    MPG vs HP Compromise

    . Gotta remember that this "Woke" crap has been around a long time. It just wasn't called that back then... Regulating speed was a consideration when these trucks were built. Private Snuffy could only go so fast as long as he was regulated. An awful lot like "back in the day" when Carolina...

    Someone Got a New Toy (not me)

    . It's really LOW TECH, but a piece of conduit bent at 13'4" or so is what we have used forever. Real cheap insurance!

    LED swap wiring puzzle! -- SOLVED!:)

    . You might check the new LED bulb to see that it actually works. Many LED bulbs have a fuse - and it will blow if you accidentally reverse polarity because you didn't know. Make yourself some test leads with alligator clips on each end and about a foot of wire. The other thing you want to...

    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    . I hate to admit that I don't know the answers to these other questions, but at -22 fuel will want to gel. In the lines the fuel moves faster and "without its friends" in the tank, it gets colder. IE: Fuel will freeze in the line way before the tank. That happens in a diesel engine for...

    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    . What if... Temperature where you are? Is it colder that a witches @#$ in a brass bra? Fuel. Is it a winter blend? If you can get it to crank up and run for a bit, some fuel additive might help freshen up the fuel. It that 50 gallons from 2012? Any possibility that you gathered algae...

    . Good Man! Having a workspace is really great. I can't quite bring myself to spend the money for a building. Down here where I am, there is generally about two months of chilly weather. Might be a couple of cold weather days, then occasional rain. Out there where you are - you need a...

    Spare tire mount options?

    . In your sound proofing thread, you have a "twin screw" (M-108X Series) truck. That cantilever weight won't be as much of an issue because of that... Yes, the rear axle will be "heavier" on a scale, but you will definitely have more weight forward to offset the spares and a scooter...

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Since you are here, how about some pictures of your motorpool? I mean even if two of them are mostly gutted, they still need to be included. ;-) Sounds to me like you have a heck of a wife! Having her support will sure make it easier for you to spend the time and...

    M60A1 Tank - paint removal

    . Don't know what you do for a living, but that is one heavy beast. Chances are that it is sitting on a concrete pad or at least most of them are. Somebody has the pieces of paper that were signed with TACOM. Might be worth reading before you go much further. Painting it in place shouldn't...

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Like @BKubu mentioned - we need pictures! That way we can all drool and smile and give you proper encouragement. :) Don't forget that you can download the Technical Manuals (TM's) for your truck here. Link below. Those crusty old books will put you to sleep if you...

    . I had to snag a few pictures out of the video to add to your presentation. THANKS for the pictures!

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    . Florida had a big problem where you could get yourself a Nursing Certificate without going to school ( Siena College, Palm Beach School of Nursing and Sacred Heart International Institute). Apparently these 7600 people took the Board Exam for nurses. Of course the window may have closed on...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    . Can't help but wonder if it is a handle for a CUCV maybe? To me it seems like a scissor jack type of handle. Maybe an OLD Deuce had some sort of mechanical bottle jack handle?

    Charlotte NC Event

    . I could bring a MK23, M1088, M1089, M37, and possibly a M936. Maybe another thing or two as well...
