Does Your Historic Military Vehicle "Dance?" on the Road?

Engine stopped while you are in the field? Don’t worry—it’s usually one of two things: Fuel or spark. This article will show you the steps to diagnose and, hopefully, repair your vehicle so that you can get back on the road! Photo courtesy of The Furious Fourth WWII Living History Group

It Must Be Spring — The Calendar Says So

By John Adams-Graf
Engine oil doesn’t only break down and become dirty from use, it also gradually breaks down over time. And, in vehicles that aren’t driven much, or are not driven long distances so the engine never fully heats up, moisture forms in the crankcase. Moisture also forms in engines, axles and gearboxes simply because of temperature changes. Water not only dilutes engine oil, it also reacts with the oil to form acids that soften and eat away bearing material. Therefore, you should change the engine oil at fairly regular intervals whether or not the vehicle is driven a lot.
