    Do you solder the trailer connections on?

    Do you solder the trailer connections on?

    Yes, those pins have what is called SOLDER CUPS on the wire end of the pin. It's best NOT to do any soldering with the pins inserted in the rubber block. The heat transfer is not healthy for the weatherproof flexibility of the rubber stuff. They DO make a TOOL for properly removing the pins...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Bummer. Contrary to popular belief, that is NOT a "new and improved" aerodynamic design. It may even increase your drag by a factor of 0.00000001 or so.

    Code violation notice for parking in my driveway

    Congratz on clearing that hurdle. One question remains... Are you now willing to defend your victory. IF your Code Officer's actions were the result of a neighbor's complaint then "the fight" may not be over. As a matter of due diligence your should now visit your City's website and if...

    15 minute rule - flustrating

    Drew, To follow your detour from the OP's topic.... While closing some threads that go dormant sounds like a great idea.... there are many "technical" threads that can be revived with the invaluable benefit of old established thread subscribers with knowledge of how they tackled the topical...

    15 minute rule - flustrating

    Sir, my post was neither intended to offend you, nor meant to be stated in the singular "you", but the plural "Y'all" as we would say in Texas. I apologize for that miscommunication. Therefore, I have edited my post to very specifically be plural and generic in its broadcast. As well, I stand...

    15 minute rule - flustrating

    In a perfect world, Troops, The highlighted statement above might be true. HOWEVER, the reality is we do not live in a perfect world. We live in a world in which the best we can hope for is that people will treat us nearly as good as we should be treating them. THEREFORE, in the spirit of...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Thursday evening, October 15, 2015: When we got our Deuce it was just a cab and chassis, a former brushfire truck. We immediately also acquired the bed off the VFD's replacement M35A3 and drove her home. Unfortunately, the taillights from the firetruck stayed on the bed that they retained, and...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    You might ask your Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) if there are parallel ordinances allowing "Special Interest Vehicles" in residential areas. Here in San Angelo, the Code of Ordinances on the surface appear to prohibit LARGE MV's. HOWEVER, with the TxFMV registration, they become "Special...

    XM-778 2 1/2 ton Cargo Truck, W/W

    The 2015 Carnac Cross-Country Tour - CARNAC UNPLUGGED. I remember when I surrendered my access and clearance.... I no longer had my finger on the pulse of world events and international affairs. Sometimes it's better to not know what goes on behind the scenes.

    Winch Shear Pins

    Anti-corrosion Zinc Chromate etching on an aluminum surface CAN make it look like brass or similar to the "Gold Chain" now required for hoisting operations.

    XM-778 2 1/2 ton Cargo Truck, W/W

    I seem to recall another thread that spoke of a Deuce with brake assemblies OUTBOARD of the wheel. I'm not sure if it was a dedicated thread or just some posts within a thread. Maybe someone else will remember where that discussion is posted.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Isn't the English language such fun to play with?!?!? I don't know how many times I have had to explain just why a military truck with a cross-country load rating of 2-1/2 Tons is called a Deuce and a Half, or DEUCE for short. I suppose some people don't know how to play the game (of English...

    The birth of a Parts truck

    This is probably just one frame from a high speed camera filming at a rate of 1,000 frames (or more) per second. They simply picked out the most dramatic frame to publish as a still shot.
