    Parking brake-- Do I need it?

    Hey guys. The reason I bought it is because I'm a new diesel tech, been doing it for about 2 years. I've been with this roadside job for about 6 months now. It was partly because I found a great deal, and partly because I want to learn how to repair and rebuild everything on it. And also because...

    Parking brake-- Do I need it?

    Ok good morning guys. I already said thanks for the input and I will fix it, guess that was not enough. By asking do I need it? , I should have added, will it really stop the truck while moving. Because the guy I bought it from pulled it while moving and that's what caused it to break. Im...

    Parking brake-- Do I need it?

    I park it in my backyard. Always use chocks I keep them in the underbody box when driving. I understand it can be started with the battery switch off, but in my backyard nothing is gonna bump into it. As far as the NYS inspection, I'm a roadside diesel mechanic, fully aware of what it needs to...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Replaced battery cables and terminals. Fixed door latches/ strikers do the doors actually close all the way. Going to pick up 2 front tired and wheels for the front. Already mounted and aired up. What SHOULD this cost? I think I scored an amazing deal

    Parking brake-- Do I need it?

    Hey guys, so I recently purchased my deuce, the guy that I bought it from pulled the parking brake while driving and disintegrated it. Now it's just the shoes dangling inside the drum. I personally don't use the brake, not many hills around here. Is it something that I need to replace or can I...

    M35a3 steering pressure relief valve adjustment help!

    Yeah I agree with gimpyrob, that looks like a regulator. A relief valve shouldn't have an airline going into and out of it. What is it that you are trying to accomplish? Does the truck turn/ steer fine?

    FIXED! Definitely those bolts man. Loose a quarter turn or loose a tiny hair. Loose is loose

    What does the noise sound like? And is the vibration small but noticeable or you feel it in the seat?

    Need help deciphering what exactly my truck is

    Well, with bikeman's search, it's really a 1967 Kaiser Jeep M35A2C last assigned to Letterkenny Army Depot. Will post pic in a min. Has a hood handle, and has meaty gussets on the C hooks. That's really cool if this was USMC

    Need help deciphering what exactly my truck is

    Lol, I want it to have the air horn. The electric horn is wimpy compared to the truck being a beast. Sounds like a horn on a beetle

    Need help deciphering what exactly my truck is

    I wouldnt doubt that man, because there is no contract # and there is nothing there where it says MFD By. Still, let's see if something comes up with bikeman's search. I just want to restore this thing to original, so I need to start by knowing exactly what it is. It also has what I've learned...

    Need help deciphering what exactly my truck is

    Did some searching, found a thread from years ago that DDoyle posted. Sent him a PM, he was saying in that thread that he stumbled across a deuce with 0125-xxxxx in the frame, but had NK0 as the reg. Which is my situation. Getting interesting now

    Need help deciphering what exactly my truck is

    Also from what I can see, left front (driver) bumper says "T6-54" and passenger says "A-ARN6" there is a placard in the cab under the specs card that says it was reconditioned 1-89 at LEAD, odometer at that time was 10mi.
