I have a saying- "The greatest threat to our liberties in the U.S. isn't China, DPRK or Russia, it's a crying mother standing in front of a state legislative body." I've lost count of how many freedoms have been eroded by tearful mothers convincing legislators to "do something" because of a...

I'd like to point out that Virginia just became "Yankee Land. " Nowhere is safe.

Here's a brief update: 1. The MVPA has contacted me. I have given them more specifics and I'm waiting to hear back. 2. A representative from Mission BBQ has also contacted me. The Maryland Mission BBQ offices were unaware of the bulletin. The Mission BBQ rep asked me what I expected of Mission...

I get you. I'm just letting you know that I'm not indiscriminately swinging the hammer. :)

I haven't contacted anyone at AAMVA. So far, I have joined and emailed the MVPA about the issue in Maryland. I received a prompt response from MVPA and I have widened the discussion. We'll see where it leads.

The brakes locking up is sometimes caused by a faulty air pack. The brake fluid didn't just disappear, there has to be a leak somewhere. If the reservoir was truly empty, you'll need to bleed the system. There's bound to be air in it somewhere. Do a search for "power bleeder" and you'll find...

I've been immersed in the 5-ton world for the last year where DCA is the norm. Do the GM diesels need any supplemental additive in the coolant, or just run straight green like a gasoline vehicle?

I like that Iceman's and the truck in the video are 809's. The 939's get all the glory around here. ;) I realize that from a technical aspect, the 939's are probably superior but the 809's are the "good" kind of ugly.

Because I have "FOFTS". Fear of flat tires! I don't wanna change that thing out on the side of the road.

Every time I think I'm having a hard time, I think of Mike over in the HEMTT thread and I calm down. ;) I got 'er did. All belts and hoses on, flushed the cooling system 3X. Nothing bad, just a bunch of iron sediment. Added fresh, plain green coolant and distilled water and DCA. I must have...

This is one of those things that I won't do to my truck, but I enjoy watching other people do to their trucks. :) Those tires are epic.

This is exactly the information I need to help squash the MSP's bulletin forbidding safety inspections in Maryland.

Lou, what circuit did you tap for these reverse lights? I don't want to tap into the instrument panel lights because I want to use them without the reverse lights turning on.

Can anyone describe how SEMA was contacted and brought in to lobby for this new law? I might like to follow a similar path for Maryland.

You gotta be kidding. I just paid for a membership with MVPA with the intention of enlisting their help in Maryland. What has been the MVPA's position so far, regarding states attempting to ban MV's? What have their responses been?

Ha, I'm sore in all the same places. I'll take another crack at it today and I'm warming up the belts to make them a little more pliable. I was able to get one belt on, but couldn't hop it into the back grooves. I'm sure I can pry it over now that I'm rested. I also need to hit NAPA today for...

@F18hornetM It's actually encouraging that you received renewal notifications. It really does seem like this is just the MSP gearing up to start some s---. There is no legislation, only a poorly worded bulletin but we need to get out in front of this before it becomes a real problem. @BKubu...

Still forging ahead with the belts, hoses and engine flush. Engine is drained, all belts removed. New water pump crush gasket installed with anti-seize. All new belts installed EXCEPT the G-D fan drive belts. I simply cannot get enough slack to hop over the pulleys. Yes, the adjustment is min'd...

@tstone You've hit a few nails on their respective heads: 1. Will the MSP use this as an opportunity to confiscate Historic tags? I think it's likely. 2. The trampling of rights is spreading and running from state to state searching for the "most free" state isn't going to work forever...

The bulletin means former military vehicles.
