    Pulling double M105s, have questions

    If you are going to put any kind of load on them I'd DX that strap idea. Bolt them together with Grade 8 bolts and be redundant on the steel connectors. Putting the general public at risk to save a few bucks is a non-starter.

    Atlanta area: M1009 batteries

    Before you replace them try to have them load tested at a battery place or one of the parts stores. If you have to replace them buy the highest CCA you can get.......the battery hold downs can be modified to take normal batteries. I would not buy used batteries since they both need to be...

    M923 jump start

    There are several reasons an engine can lock up......overheated to the point of galling pistons, water in cylinder(s) (hydrolocked), crankshaft frozen due to rust or othe issues. That's why it important to preview (or get someone to preview) vehicles prior to buying. Buying anything from GL...

    Pulling double M105s, have questions

    This is just an exercise in "what if" (if your Aunt Freida had balls she'd be your Uncle Fred) but what if you joined the two trailers together so that they pulled like one twin axle? Maybe join them together with two pices of metal bolted to both trailers that could be removed when you got...

    The evil deed had already been done by the time the lady reporter showed up.

    Make sure you hook them together correctly to get 24 volts.

    New to the SS family looking for answers

    Some bio-diesel is astringent.....it will clean all the crud out of your system and deposit it in the fuel filters. In some cases it can cause older rubber hoses and tubing to fail. If you are going to run it carry spare filters with you at all times. Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing...

    Abduction of Elmo

    I have enlisted professional help to track down the guilty party. Someone is in real trouble now.

    Abduction of Elmo

    Hobo Joe was in the rear with the gear.......not even close to the where dastardly deed took place. I'm beginning to suspect that the guilty party may be on the inside.

    NC Weigh Station Requirements!

    I generally wave as I go by Weigh Stations as a courtesy. We convoyed from New Jersey to Nebraska and never stopped at the first weigh station.

    How full to fill Tank

    Military doctrine was to leave headspace since the vehicles were topped off when brought back into the Motor Pool. Most units painted a line where the proper headspace position is. I have seen drivers fill the vehicles to the brim and then when the tank heated up the fuel would leak out on the...

    SS members what do you think ?

    I concur with the above in that if the family is on board with it then you are doing a good thing to help them give their loved one a final tribute. Several of our members that have passed have been carried to their final resting place in a military vehicle. Since I have pre-planned my...

    Abduction of Elmo

    According to his therapist Elmo is cured of his "plastic poultry fetish" syndrome. He has been faithful to Ellie Mae since they discovered each other in a secluded parking area in NE AL. I don't think this is a case of "backsilding" on his part......I think some fiend took him to make a profit.

    MVPA Show in Huntsville, AL

    Although I'm in the motel room leading the investigation concerning the missing marsupial I still have to do my job as Public Affairs Officer for the Dixie Division. We got a good segment on WAAY TV 31 on the 10 pm news (done by the cute little reporter). My TV was acting up but I think we got...

    MVPA Show in Huntsville, AL

    I don't think he ran away....I took Ellie Mae to the vet last week and she is in the "family way". Elmo has too much character to leave her in the lurch with several buns in the oven. No.....I think this is a case of possum napping for profit.......I think the crooks mistook him for the...
