That would be better
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
That's probably because you look so grumpy on those cold winter mornings:
Like Sgt Halftrack always said PM is key to reliable equipment. He had a cartoon to go with it. I never seen my CUCV's with their tongues hanging out but if they could they would quite often be panting. I know a few that tremble upon my approach when the plows are mounted up in a snow storm.
What is piloted?Oh yea I did want to tell you. When I was at the GM dealer the Tech came and got me and showed me I had a Ford wheel on the M1008. It was not a hub piloted wheel on the CUCV. I did notice the last year a slight vibration when I was at 65-70 and that was not there before I got the last set of tires. I run Goodyear Wrangler Duratrak stock size LT23585/R16 tires. But last time I bought tires I got 4 wheels from my wheel collection and one of them must have been from a Ford truck I had. Anyway I changed the wheel today and balanced the tire and wheel and drove it again. It seems to have corrected the vibration. I was on I 78 and did not notice it. Maybe a fluke or maybe a fact. But I have had issues running un-piloted wheels on trucks that I run with a lot of weight in them. Just a thought and a word of advice. Thank you.
Thank you. I guess I got it.That means the center hole on the wheel fits tight on the hub of the truck. Since the Ford has a bigger hole then the CUCV the weight and foirce is being held/suported by the wheel studs only. Not by the hub center as designed. That is not a good thing. Do you understand what I am saying?

I made an 7-pin adapter for euro trailers, using a militairy plug and cable from an old trailer. putting a 7-pin connector on the other end.Also, earlier in the week I made an adapter for a flat, four prong trailer connector.
I made it using panel nails soldered to the wires and using a male 110v cord end's cover as it slipped over the truck's military trailer connector perfectly. It works great
