    Wanted: M105 Handbrake Cable

    Good evening, all, I just picked up my M105A2 from GL, and found that the passenger side handbrake cable is mangled. The part that is damaged is the sleeved part between the turnbuckle and the drum. This means the handbrake doesn't release on that side. The short term fix is to remove the...

    Loading it up

    What did the rear springs look like? We had ours nearly flat on the move down... and that was the SMOOTHEST ride I've ever had in the truck!! Agreed, the military rated the truck for 5 tons on road - but the military usually builds in a buffer to the ratings, so that putting 10,001 lbs in won't...

    Just Curious

    I agree with doghead. The statement "I don't want to fix anything" sounds a bit naive to me. The truck as a whole is very reliable. But that is a very different statement than saying that nothing will ever require fixing. These trucks have a high tolerance for damage, and once started, will...

    M135 & M35 bed question

    Maccus - That M34 always takes my breath away when I see it. You did an awesome job with that truck. The M135 bed is the same width as the front fenders and running boards on the deuce. Additionally, the M135/M34 bed does not have the ~6 inch riser between the frame rails and the horizontal...

    First time owner, needs pearls of wisdom

    RE: I didn Because of license reciprocity, you're probably right. You're not required to get a CA driver's license at all because of the SSCRA..... and since TX doesn't care, then you're fine. I forgot that you might not be domiciled in CA. Matt

    Overheating for the third time

    RE: Re: RE: Overheating for the third time Just because you "release" the parking brake in the cab... that might not actually translate to a released brake? That's what my dragging brake problem was. Matt

    First time owner, needs pearls of wisdom

    Welcome to SS! I never worked on these trucks when I bought mine, and Kenny gave me the same advice 3 years ago - and he's right. Once you get the truck and put your hand on it, things become a lot clearer. Read and re-read the manuals regarding operation before you get the truck (because once...
