Richard, put my family on the "Bad" list. I thought I told Lee to send a check out and gave her you're card. I'm actually sure that I did but I'm not willing to fight her over it. I did put a check in the mail this evening for the 2 shirts I picked up on Sunday for my boys. It'll be there...
Ok, a little more research on "Ugly Ranger", in more proper terms, The Honorable Lt. Ralph Fuller. My goodness, what an Honor to be considered to drive a truck for him. Lam Son 719 is a heck of a thread to read and I certainly feel honored that ya'll would allow me to drive anything associated...
Sounds Great, do ya have any pics? I googled Ugly Ranger Guntruck but it came back with a whole bunch of different trucks. I've really got to learn some more history.
drive it, oil will make it up there!!! From what I've read and following who I consider a Tranny Expert on these trucks, M35TOM who makes the taller overdrive kit recommends 40W Non Detergent Motor Oil. That's what's in my tranny and transfer case now. Shifts smoother and both boxes run...
I limit mine to 2300 due to worries about it spitting a rod. That still seems high and once I upgrade to a .69 overdrive and 395's, she won't see that many RPM constant anymore. However, I kept her on 2300 or better for the 5 hour trip back from the GA Rally and she's running strong as ever...
Just got parked, no issues with Deuce other than 195 degree transfer case temp. I think it's overfilled but it's due an oil change now. Trans ran 160, Axles chunks and hubs 125 to 130 and engine block of 195. Guess who just got an infrared thermometer. Not bad, averaged 50 mph, traveled 180...
CAMO Forward will be in Macon around 1400 for linkup. Add an M923 and M35A2 to the rear of the Order of March!!! We'll follow a group of trucks led by an F350 Dually! Slow is fine, the M35A2 will probably like a change of pace after following the M923 on the Interstate!!! We'll proceed as...
Jimma,
My wife and boys (4 and 6) will be there Friday. They do well at the GA Rally as there is alot of stuff to get into and some very friendly folks around. It'll be there 2nd Rally, they missed last year due to being sick from the flu shot and hopefully that won't happen this year...
Jimma has second crack at the LED headlights. I'm sure they're spoken for between the 2 interested parties. Also have an IBIS TEK towbar with 1 1/2" pin feet. The towbar end is still 1" so with a set of standard Hunter 1" feet, you'd be in business or if you have a M915 series truck, you'd be...
GringleTaube method adds Positive Caster, think bicycle steering fork. Negative Caster, think grocery cart. I've seen firsthand that G's Method works as I've done it to my truck and it drives much easier now. 1 hand to hold it straight down the road versus fighting it with two and darting...
Anyone need some 5 ton outer axle seals? I've got a box of them. I've also got 2 M939 series wiper motors if anyone's interested. I've got a 14 foot tan tarp for a 5 ton, new never installed but needs rubber rope. PM me or I can check here before I roll out tomorrow. I've also got a set of...
Awesome, I should survive on a 12 pack then. The back of the M814 loaded with beer????? Dang, ya'll must be expecting a rough crowd. My uncle did that once before but it was a Silverado. This is going to be one heck of a Rally!!!! Can't wait to get there!!!
