    Battery group number for M35A2

    Did you have to do a lot of custom fab work to secure them in the battery box? I don't really want to have to do a lot of fab work just to make truck batteries fit the M35A2 battery box. I don't have a band saw, welder, or any other tools commonly used for specialty fabrication work. I usually...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Today I did a little troubleshooting with my trucks issues. I checked both batteries with a multimeter and they showed good voltage...while at rest with no load. As soon as I introduced and kind of load, the voltage tanked....so one or both batteries is dead. I pulled both batteries and ran to...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Today I did some fuel tank cleaning, added 10 gallons of fresh diesel mixed with algecide (power service brand biokleen and diesel clean). I also added it to the 55gal drum of old fuel. I clicked on the accesory switch to move the fuel through the system for a bit. I was going to run the motor...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    You aren't a REAL MV owner unless you run your M35A2 on 109 octane racing fuel! hahaha actually I FINALLY started my project to clean out my nasty algae growth diesel fuel. I used my safety siphon to drain the tank. I have the truck tank drained into the 55gal drum. Now I have to clean...

    Those tires must have GREAT traction! (or was the picture taken in Australia?)

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I made this for all my Facebook military vehicle owner friends: "Y'all need to be extra careful with your kiddos while trick-or- treating this year. Check all their candy before they eat it. You never know what some crazy person will do to try and harm our little ones. I just found this m35a2 in...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yesterday I finally had the time to dig a little deeper into my alleged "algae in the fuel tank" issue....and yup, it's definitely the green scourge. I found a nice layer of algae on the bottom of the tank (I'm assuming there is some water build-up at the tank bottom which kicked off the algae...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    This last week we had about 15 Colombians (my wife's family & friends) in town for our wedding. I drove them around Lubbock, Texas in the truck for a mini-tour (also it was cheaper than renting a 15 passenger van). In Colombia you can't own military equipment (or so I'm told) so they LOVE...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Be sure to paint it to match. :mrgreen: I have the exterior of my M35A2 hard top coated in herculiner (I also painted to match the OD of the truck). I LOVE that stuff. In college I did the interior of the truck I had. It performed equally as well.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Today I finished up my spring cleaning. My fiances family is coming in from Colombia (for our wedding next weekend on June 8th) and they wanted to go for some rides in the M35A2, Civilians can't own military stuff down there so this just blows their minds. I wanted to re-install the cargo top...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I did a little spring cleaning yesterday. We have had a few months of stronger than usual west texas winds. I had dirt caked all inside my truck. I hosed out the cab and bed.... and removed the cargo top for cleaning. I also rinsed off the exterior of the truck I also disassembled some extra...

    M35A1 LIVES, finally. vid link to the event

    in reference to your video, even though I have an M35A2, I have always preferred the side-dump exhaust of the A1s. That exhaust dumping on full acceleration looks GREAT on an A1.
