    SERVICE BULLETIN: M35A3 Self-Destructed Radiator Fan Threw Blades

    I would REALLY like to make this modification, but after taking a look it seems like the only way to change out the fan is to either remove the radiator or the water pump. The fan on it now looks pretty sturdy and I'm not sure how it could come apart...I'm not saying it couldn't... just that it...

    preventable rear suspension failure

    Ok, thanks Rusty. I was afraid that might be the case but I'm glad there doesn't seem to be any problem with the trunnion/housing? I'm not sure what the name of the part is the bolts go through. It looks like there used to be something else down in those openings that has rusted away though...

    Decoding unit markings

    Here is another clue on mine... the fire extinguisher. It's marked Ohio and what looks like A BTRY. Thanks

    Updated brake switch

    I just checked this and thankfully it looks like the conversion has already been done. I would appreciate it if someone would verify that however. Or at least if it has NOT been done. Thanks.

    M35A2 Spindle Nut Tightness

    It sounds like nobody follows the procedure in the TM...to crank the nut down until the wheel stops. Out of curiosity how many lbs. are needed to stop the wheel from moving. When I had to replace the seals and races in one hub the nut didn't go back down on the shaft as far as it was in...

    M35A2 Spindle Nut Tightness

    Does anybody else besides me find the TM's extremely hard to understand? The procedure in the one above is pretty straight forward, but the illustration looks worthless to me. I wish Haynes or somebody would make a manual for the deuce like a Haynes manual for cars, it would be so much better...

    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    I'm extremely cheap myself, thats one reason why I drive a 1999 Camry with over 305 K miles. However I would gladly pay $500 for something that would prevent my truck from potentially crashing into something, or running down a mountain, etc. I might be less concerned about a brake failure if I...

    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    So as mentioned before, has anybody contacted the original manufacturers yet? It might be a good idea to have a number to give them of committed buyers so they how many they would be able to sell immediately. I'm on a Russian watch forum and they do this all the time for special project watches...

    Decoding unit markings

    Thanks guys, just to clarify, I've had the truck since before November 2010. Maybe September because I had to file a lost title claim because the guy I bought it from only had the form (can't remember the name)from the government. He was supposed to get me the title but never did. How does...

    Decoding unit markings

    Thank you, if it helps any the truck came with an owners manual and road hazard set also marked with HQ63. What is that referring to headquarters? 63 what? Thanks! ​Edit: It was also marked the same way on the rear bumpers in the more common style. Both front and rear markings were also painted...

    Decoding unit markings

    Maybe decoding is not the right word, but could somebody tell me what the unit markings stand for? Sorry if it's a dumb question. I also can't help noticing they are not applied in the same fashion as most others I have seen, the font usually seems smaller and in two short lines rather than one...

    Deuce oil level question

    Before I changed the oil the level on the dipstick was about 1/2" over the full line. After draining the oil and replacing the filters I added 5 gallons of oil and the level showed to be low by around 2 quarts I think. However, I wanted to run the engine first to not risk overfilling it. Now...

    M35A2 Sound Deadening Project

    Ok thanks, good idea. I was hoping somebody would at least have installed one of them so I could get a look. I guess the bolts would have to be switched with slightly smaller diameter bolts to make everything fit, but shouldn't be too big of a problem.

    An interesting article

    M16ty, that $300 part confused me too so I reread it and he actually bought his truck on eBay. So I don't understand why he didn't get what I would assume to be a cheaper $300 one from GL. I also don't understand why he says the deuce has no shocks, mine does.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Looks good Menaces, thanks for the idea and the links and the pics of the finished work. Makes it much easier to understand what's going on.

    I just ran across this and thought I would share it. Proceed with caution. https://www.reddit.com/r/Trucks/comments/243uof/used_to_have_a_m35a2_deuce_and_a_half_they_are/#ampf=undefined

    M35A2 Sound Deadening Project

    Are the nylon hinge bushing kits still available? I would really like to get rid of some of the rattles, squeaks and chirps from the various moving panels and brackets. I think I can just tighten up the bolt on the one below. https://youtu.be/IRQQ2IKlYqc Another big noise maker I've noticed is...
