    VFW needs M35 for Memorial Day Parade

    For the past many years I have volunteered my M35 to drive veterans in the Westminster MD Memorial Day parade. I am not a veteran but I honor the older vets by driving them in the parade. I was prepping my truck today and noticed that a significant fuel leak had started at the connection to the...

    All Military Vehicles banned from road in Maryland

    You make some very valid and concerning points. The Aberdeen show will probably continue for now, as you stated that there is actually no legislation (yet) that may restrict current registered vehicles, but in time our rights to operate these vehicles on the road may be challenged. There are...

    All Military Vehicles banned from road in Maryland

    I have several 2 1/2 Ton and 5 Ton vehicles tagged "Historic" which I use in compliance with MD law.;M35, M816, M818 and 817. I use them for shows, parades, outreach programs for ministry and for pleasure. The concern that I have after reading all of this is; are we subject to not having...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    If you register your MV in Maryland as Historic, you are not required to have a MD State inspection. With historic tags you are limited to driving your vehicle to shows, your mechanic, limited pleasure drives, parades and other similar events. If you use it as a daily driver or use it as you...

    Need to replace diodes on armature of mep002a

    It is best to use a heat sink between the electrical component and the termination where the solder connection will be made. A heat sink can be as simple as an alligator clip or anything else that will absorb heat close to the component to protect it against excessive heat while soldering. Make...

    Engine block madness!

    I don't recommend using a block with a crack in any location; with expansion and contraction the crack could migrate. I'd see if you can find a good rebuildable engine or block, you'll be glad you did in the long run. Good Luck

    Aberdeen 2017 (44th East Coast Rally held at Ripken Stadium May 11-13

    I've been going to the Aberdeen show since about 85 and have only missed it a few times. It is not the same show as it was on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds but it is still a great place to see some great vehicles, pick up some good parts at the flea market and hang out with friends. Your son...

    Removing U joints on M1008

    I agree with Drock, the only time I've taken a driveshaft into a shop for work is when I have a damaged yoke or shaft and I can't fix it myself. GL was famous for fork-lifting their CUCV's and bending the drive shafts; the only way to fix them was to buy new or repair. When I replace my u-joints...

    Owner Survey---Fuel Additives

    I always add either 2 stroke oil or good clean hydraulic oil at 32/1 to make up for the lack of lubrication that is eliminated with the ultra low sulphur diesel. The injection pump was designed to operate on the fuel that was available at the time the vehicle was manufactured, the ULSD does not...

    death wobble.. Fixing it with the steering stabilizer?

    I have had the same problem with several of my trucks including my two shop body units. The repair for my problem was solved with replacing the nylon bushings and the springs. Some of the bushing and spring sets come with springs that are not as strong (compression wise) as the OEM's. The way to...

    Vietnam 50th Anniversary Event, 18-19 June 2016

    Jim, I'm not sure how to merge the two threads. When did you start your thread? The latest info that I got today from MPTV was that they extended the deadline for registration and will allow anyone that wants to display military vehicles - equipment to do so until May 20. I believe that the...
