Yes, will I need to resize it down to the 160x160 limit? I thought the site automatically resized avatars like it does with images. I will go give it some photoshop love and see what happens.

I have broken some weird law of physics with my new avatar. Once I tried to upload it, I got the following message: "Your file of 47.1 KB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 48.8 KB for this filetype." Mangus? rofl

I like my rims like I like my coffee. Black. And with a spoon in themm

Yes-my luck is the same. I've played with old cars (and now trucks) for almost 20 years and I have NEVER gotten lucky trying to save a buck and using takeout/used parts. I've tried everything that you hear supposed "experts" and old timers alike brag about getting away with-fresh bearings in...

The tires aren't flat is absolutely hilarious. If we had a comment of the day section, this comment would win today.

Robert, it definitely sounds like you have a sprag transfer. First, find a thread that details the diagnosing and adjustment of the sprag. Apply said techniques to yours and re-test for front axle engagement. If it continues not to function, then the sprag is worn out and will either need to...

I was going off memory-and it was last summer I encountered this. I believe at this point the evidence supports me being incorrect so I would follow the advice of the other posters regarding the size.

Dan, I would consider looking for a clean Western or Southern truck and driving it back. Ill bet you will have a very difficult time finding a rust free version up there, as they aren't exactly common down here.

So your truck has enough "uumph" to push the taller gears in addition to the 108 being heavier than a typical cargo truck?

Very nice work, Autocar. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I don't know if there is a difference between A2 and A3 setups (I thought all the M44/M39/M809 ringmounts were the same) but clintogf has a truck with all 3 legs and I can measure them tomorrow if you don't find out before then.

Yes, very nice. I miss our M38A1 very much. I agree with the above, 55 shouldn't cause oil to leak. Degrease and pressure wash it so it's clean, then drive it a little, stop, inspect, repeat as necessary.

Very nice-there was a great article in the last Army Motors about a guy who did a really nice "restoration" on one of these.

Exact same thing happened to me with clintogf's gun ring truck. Going down a side road, then all of a sudden dead. When I diagnosed it, I found that no one makes that large a hose for submersible applications. The largest hose in the Gates catalog was 5/8" and these hose are 3/4" (I think)...

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Ron, I'll text you to make sure you made it there. rofl

You guys have been watching too many 1980's TV shows
