    Official 2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 17-21, 2018

    Ah heck. I have been convinced to attend, even though that means I'll have to drool over other's green rigs (and maybe the occasional tan one) as I'm surely not driving mine the 2000 miles xD Cabin reserved. Weds-Sun Which airport do you recommend flying into? Atlanta appears to be a good 90+...

    Starter Relay help

    Thank you! That'll certainly help, and I wouldn't be against having a workable backup either. Yeah, it is well over-priced for what it is, but I really just wanted an exact replacement. I considered buying another 100A continuous relay from Extreme Outback products like I had done for my...

    Starter Relay help

    I hadn't intended to, no. But I suppose there's some interest here that I should see how well it comes apart.

    A new Starter Relay has resolved my "no-start" issue. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?99130-Starter-Relay-help&p=2105075&viewfull=1#post2105075 The replacement relay reads: Prestolite WSE-4101A 24V DC 50 Amps Ord. No: 19207-6183391 NSN: 5945-00-636-8779 MFR: 7E656

    Starter Relay help

    I purchased an NOS Starter Relay from eBay, and I'm happy to report that it fixed my issue. [thumbzup] Prestolite WSE-4101A 24V DC 50 Amps Ord. No: 19207-6183391 NSN: 5945-00-636-8779 MFR: 7E656 It came with a paper that had the date "9/92" and a mylar bag with the date 8/90, so I presume it...

    Thank you both! Those are interesting ideas/solutions. I suppose I could also put those low profile LED lights I linked earlier on pieces of angle iron like DeadParrot did.

    Valence's 1968 M101A1

    FYI: I updated Post #54 with additional pictures. ----- I've thought about adding marker lights to my M105 and M101 like I added to my deuce using that drop bracket. You know, two red marker lights on the very back, two red on the rear sides, and two amber on the front sides. Though I'm...

    We only get Yellow Jackets here, thank goodness. That doesn't make me like them any less, but faaaar less aggressive than the red wasps you and red has often described to me. Thanks for the excellent idea of expanding foam PLUS the black silicone to keep out moisture. Fantastic. Thank you very...

    Valence's 1968 M101A1

    I'm in the process of making sure the trailer can be towed by MV or civilian truck alike which means the 10-30V LED lights (which I bought last year from a nice fellow on one of the MV Facebook groups). I've removed the tail lights and their brackets, bent the brackets straight, used a...

    Tire/wheel options for M105a2

    I can't tell if you're serious or joking, so I'll assume serious, congratulations! I'd suggest creating a "Want Ad" in the classifieds.

    Tire/wheel options for M105a2

    In Post #19 on page 2 of this very thread I posted a link to where I changed my M105A2 trailer to run Goodyear 11.00x20 G177s... Have you read this whole thread? The G177s fit just fine and now the trailer, once-again, has the same tires as my M35A2 (I upgraded its tires as well). Yes, I...

    Question: Best brand / Place to buy touch up paint for HUMVEE ?

    Whether your truck is tan, green, woodland or a collection of different colored parts, unfortunately you will never match the color of faded CARC paint - unless you specifically have a new paint made that is whatever degree of fade you have but then it won't match in a few more years of sun...

    Valence's 1972 M35A2

    On January 12th, 2018 I addressed my dash camera problem (that I installed in June 2017, back on Post #6). For whatever, reason the suction cup mount failed and nothing I did would keep it adhered to the glass. Given the various shapes of the camera mount arms, and the near vertical windshields...

    Starter Relay help

    Old thread bump because I'm pretty sure I have a starter relay problem too. Hey Mr. Doghead, Comparing the M35A2 wiring schematic and the following figure (from TM 9-2320-361-20 Technical Manual and Unit Maintenance, section 4-6, PDF page 423) it appears that wire #74R is the same as #3 and...

    New guy in northern California checking in

    Welcome, welcome Mr. Mike! Much more reading, fun, troubleshooting, and addiction is in your future then. ;') Which kind of MV (military vehicle) piques your interest the most? The slow, loud ones or the really slow and loud ones? :grin:

    Way to tell members.

    It's amber, it's actually a front marker light guys ;P Another way to tell is that if the text below their username (which is called the "User Title", which for mine currently reads "Mamma's Boy", or pappbear's reads "GA Mafia Imperial 1SG") is only customizable by Premium (paying) members...

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    I'd like to see the default text for the "cool" smilely change from "8)" (number eight and a close parenthesis) to something else, such as "8^)" (number 8, carrot, and close parenthesis). Basically just to avoid unintentional smilies in posts. What happens a lot is someone will type an NSN...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I've found when (and thus it is my opinion) that brake fluid, DOT 5 at least, tends to spread out more sideways on the tire sidewall, or even climb the rubber a bit while gear oil will just run straight down like that. I serviced all my axles on my deuce and within 1 year I had to re-do all 4...
