Finally getting around to installing my winch and have a question. Are the long bolts that go through the bumper really necessary or could I just use short ones top and bottom? I'm sure there was a reason for them but was it just over-engineering since the weak link appears to be the stamped...

Let me start by saying I cant stand the look of the OEM winter fronts for our trucks, but at the same time I definately see the need for something to restrict the air flow to the radiator. I have been using a piece of plywood I painted black, and it is not very noticeable. Problem is its all...

Bought some used folding steps off ebay for my deuce and made the 1.5 hour drive to Memphis Equipment to pick them up. All I can say is WOW!!! Having never been there or any MV salvage yard before I didnt really know what to expect. Man was I impressed! Rows and rows of trucks everywhere. It...

Filliing out my first EUC and I thought I was to leave no empty blanks. Section II, question 1c - I check the box, but dont write anything in blank? Just want to make sure before I submit, I want no delays.

Have bid on several GL auctions but never won anything... until today!fat lady sings I am the proud new owner of a 1985 Kogen Industries Inc. M105A2 for $220. Since I bought this without inpecting I am expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. Now the long 1st time EUC wait begins...:-(

My air shift cylinder appears to have an internal leak. Whenever I engage it air blows out of the vent on top of transfer case. It is bad enough that truck air drops to 60 psi when engaged, and compressor never shuts off. Is this something that can be rebuilt or does it need to be replaced...

In the process of moving a winch from one truck to another. Is it OK to re-use the bolts? Have heard that fine thread bolts should not be re-used once torqued down. I ask because although i didnt have to use a torch to remove them, just alot of air, they do look kinda stretched in places...

No big deal but was curious about the different front turn/park light styles. Most trucks I have seen have just 1 per side, but a few, including one of mine, have 3 in 1 assembly on each side. The 3 in 1 assembly is made up of a front facing turn/park, a rear facing turn, and a side...

I had a great 4 day weekend, used the time off to make a 600 mile round trip to bring home deuce number 2. You guys weren't kidding when you said this hobby was addictive! Thanks to MO MV man I am the proud owner of a bobbed 1965 Kaiser M35A2 w/whistler turbo. I was always a traditionalist...

Anyone know where I can find a pto cover plate and gasket for a M35A2? I am getting ready to remove the pto and need something to put in it's place so I can still drive it.

I spent a good part of the weekend looking through various TM's, but I still can't find a picture of what i'm looking for. I have found all the inpection ports for everything else except the dang tranfer case. Anyone have a pic they could post, or an accurate description to help me? I know im...

This is directed to TN residents, how do you register your trucks? The regular private passenger motor vehicles tag states for "cars, station wagons, vans or pick-up trucks up to ¾ ton rating and 9000 pounds and under in weight." With my M35a2 I am definately over the 3/4 ton rating and 9000...

I have a M1009 in great mechanical condition with 22k miles. Problem is the body is seriously rusted. Not just surface rust either, major rot. Exterior, interior, you name it. Was thinkin about doing a body swap with a normal K5 blazer as a donor. Anyone ever done this? Would I be ahead just...

Been searching the forum for a replacement set of batteries for my M1009. From what I have gathered group 31 is a good drop in civi replacement, and group 65 will work with a 1 1/2" spacer. While at my local wally world the only group 31 I could find was a marine battery. Has a 7 year...
