Hello all, Numerous threads have been brought to my attention lately. Unfortunately, the problem with these threads has been the description of illegal or unsafe actions while recovering a vehicle from an auction site. There have been tens of thousands of vehicles auctioned off from GL and...

I loved the Haldex on my truck. It worked fantastic. I never had any water in my tanks and personally I enjoy hearing the expelling air as I am cruising down the highway. It reminds me of driving a big rig. Dry air is a must for properly functioning ABS and CTIS. Just dumping the air tanks...

You are welcome, John. Do you have any pics of your truck? I'd love to see it as would all of the other 939-series fans on SS.

Do you have ABS? If so, then it should be a Haldex Pure Air Plus. I bought a rebuild kit for my 923A2 from NAPA. It came with a new dessicant filter, pressure relief valve, and some o-rings. If your truck is like my 925A2 being an A2, but no ABS, then it is a Stark air dryer. D&D bought...

I can't believe the DMV people didn't know about the 1-trip permits, but you have to consider the source. VA has one-trip passes available online. WV trip permits were available from the State Police. I would have trusted a call to the CO State Police over the dingbats at the DMV. Wallew...

You sure are crafty! That is looking good!

I wish you were close by too! With your experience and work ethic, we could finish the whole truck in about a week! :)

Well, we are selling our house here in Franklin. I am in the midst of a career change and am not really sure where I am going to end up when it is all said and done. I'll have to keep working on it at John's in the meantime. I am hoping to have his paint/body guy, David, do some cutting...

More pics! It looks so much better with tires! I forgot to take a pic of the IP mounted so I had to lift the cover and snap on real quick before we left. We were filthy!!

I finally had a full day to work on the truck. My in-laws are in town for the 4th and my father-in-law volunteered for a work session. We loaded up the Excursion with all the needed parts and tools and then hooked up the trailer with the freshly mounted XL's. The day started off with the...

Bjorn, what is the clearance between the tire and the fuel tank with the original 16-20? I am guessing less than 2" by the way the MV/T hits. From what I can see in the one side-view, it looks like the suspension bogey similar to the rear of a cargo truck with dog bones and buggy leaves If...

It has been a long time since I drove my 923A2 so I don't remember the exact temperature, but I do remember it was pretty hot before it kicked on. A lot of times it wouldn't engage while I was driving down the road, but would start once I pulled over somewhere and idled for a bit. I would...

Good job, Tim! Looks like a lot of fun!

Good report Karl. What did they charge you for the 14.00's? I was quoted $180 for XL a year ago and another member said he got some almost new XL's for $100. Pretty big discrepancy there. So, when are you going to stop by and see me in Glen Allen. We could have LASIK'd your eyeballs for...

Thanks for all of the comments folks. We appreciate your support.

:) The smoke screen from the tire rubbing inside the fender was impressive. The car behind me almost ran off the road. Yikes!

Thank you all very much for your comments! I really wanted to make the 10th year special by hosting some sort of national event, but personal stuff got in the way. Hopefully, I'll get something put together in the next few years. In the meantime, we have had some fantastic regional rallies...

Nice! I like the C-series. They are very smooth and that air cooled engine seems nice and quiet.

PM sent with address. The address is not posted on the site right now since SS is operated out of my house. Once I get moved, I will get a PO Box if necessary. Please PM me or Mike Mangus580 if you would like the address for sending a paper check or MO. SS does NOT have non-profit status...

Hello SS Family! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your participation in one of the finest MV forums on the net! Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate that Steel Soldiers would still be around in ten years or that there would be over 11,000 members! I am blown...
