    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    Wallew, Thanks for the kind words. Aren't you glad we didn't do that swap that you had proposed some year and a half ago? I'm sure the Blazer is still a nice truck, you sent some great pictures of it. I would have rather had that Blazer but I'm glad we didn't make a deal in light of the...

    Ft Benning to Denver

    If you need it taken off base and stored, I'd get in touch with PapaBear as he's local to the Columbus Area.

    Leesburg, GA Christmas Parade

    Saturday, December 1st, We're doing a parade here in Leesburg, GA. I've registered 2 M35A2's, an M1028 and a M923. If anyone else is close and would like to join in, I have to get you registered by the 16th. I registered under CAMO, Leesburg Detachment as I feel with 4 trucks, we can make a...

    Gear vendor vs. 700r4

    I've got a 4L60E, direct electronic valvebody decedent of a 700R4 in my Silverado. It has 184,000 miles on it, still holding fine, fluid looks good and we've loaded it down a time or two, most towed is 8,500 pounds or so not including the truck. I think the 700 would do just fine in a truck...

    My dad's new FMTV...

    62 MPH, about 27,000, they don't come out on GL unless it's trashed but every now an then. They go high in my opinion.

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    PB, I was trying to hide the identity of the "older and wiser than myself" gentlemen. You jumped right in there but I truly appreciate your friendship, mentorship and advice. Thanks to the Army that we have the fellowship and advice of the Imperial First Sergeant!!!!

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    Firstly, wow, that change you made to the first post looks rough Warthog. It's true though, it may be repo'd but we'll see how that works out in the coming weeks or months. Secondly, I owe an explanation of how NCIS found me for those who are curious. I work at the Base in Albany as a...

    What should a MEP-002a / MEP-003a be worth?

    That's hilarious!!! Especially the loading and unloading part. Care to enlighten the GenSet Community what you remitted in exchange for me picking up 4 Mep 003A's from Albany, transporting them to my house, unloading, storing for about a month, and then loading onto your truck? You may know...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    I should have been more clear in my last post, Autistic kids get very attached to stuff, get upset if stuff is not lined up properly and get real upset if something is missing. Briggs displays all of those symptoms and I normally have my "motorpool" arranged a certain way. He'd notice if...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    Pics I have of it!!! He's truly been a part of my Family and the Greater SS Family for a while. We'll see where it goes. If the Gov takes it back, they'll DRMO it again and if the original deal was not legit, I'll buy it back. Briggs loves the truck, I don't need it but I fear my youngest is...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    I purchased it from a private party. I got a bill of sale, registered it, put insurance on it and have had it for almost 3 years now. We'll see what comes of it. I'm not suspected of any wrongdoing but I'm worried the truck may go away. I won't fight it, heck I really can't I don't think...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    Got a lovely phone call from NCIS today, the dang thing could possibly be hot!!! In my eyes, what a kick in the tail. I'm not sure where this mess may go but I've truly got the wind knocked out of me at the moment. I'll know more Monday when I go in to do an interview with the investigator...

    GL-1 Gear Oil Alternative

    I'll keep the fire going. I just changed my trans and transfer case oil this weekend with Non Detergent 40W per M35Tom's recommendation. Guess what, I got about 3 gallons of old oil to burn in the tank. My transfer case is much quieter and my transmission no longer grinds going into 4th...

    Deuce driving tips

    Check your brakes before getting underway. Your Master Cylinder is under that little "trap door" on the driver's side, verify that you have BFS in it. Check for leaks to ensure you still have oil in your transmission, transfer case, motor, etc. If everything is dry on the outside, it probably...

    Deuce injector pump questions

    Have you pulled the side cover off the IP to ensure the fuel cutoff is moving? The rod has a tendency to stick in the "off" position if left that way for a while even if the outside rod appears to be pushing in when you push the fuel control cable in. Verify that, it'll only take 10 minutes or...

    Another home made glow plug removal method

    I used the OTC tool to unthread 6 swollen plugs in my truck. Swapped all of them with AC 60G. 2 months later, I had the same issue but only 4 swollen plugs. I removed the resistor bank from the firewall and wired the glow plug relay to the main 12V terminal on the firewall and have had no...

    Albany Ga pickup needed

    I'll toss this back up to the top since the OP hasn't tried to "make my wife pleased as pie" and no packages have showed up. Not that I really expected anything to. I picked up a few of gensets, offloaded them in my yard, loaded them on his truck and made a cool $20 for my time. I spent more...

    bleeding deuce brakes

    Bleed from Master to Airpack first, then get to the rear most axle, bleed the passenger rear, driver rear, passenger intermediate, driver's intermediate, passenger steer, driver steer. Here's something that will puzzle the debate, I changed a master and an airpack before the rally. Bled from...
