I love all you guys, reminds me of my fellow siblings when I was a kid! All the advice is good and MUCH appreciated, and I am going out this morning to the shop and start the diagnosis, so thank you all so much for the good pointers, including where to find the flow chart doghead! The problem...

Yep DanM, everything else worked, buzzer, fuel pump, etc, so that made me think that maby there was a starter relay that was sensative to the cold, and maby the temp had dropped down enough to affect it. I pulled and pushed her into the shop tonight so she could warm up some overnight, and will...

Bet it's flat spots on the tires- the older the tires, the more brittle and hard they are, and they take a flat spot set that is hard to work out, even more so in cold weather. I recently looked close at some of my rear tires on my M35, and found one that was manufactured in 1980. It shows 80%...

Went out to start my '72 Kaiser multi-fuel, temp about 20 degrees. Hit the starter button. Nothing. Assumed low battery charge, checked batteries. Had 26 volts total, about 12.5v on one and 13.5v on the other one. Deuce always started fine recently, coldest start was about 32 degrees. Is there...

According to a news story within the last 6 months on Fox and also on CNN, a recently retired 4-star (from the Pentagon section that works to prevent such things), said it was not a question of if but when we would be attacked by an EMP weapon. According to this general, someone like the...

Sweet! Are you going to put a bed on this truck, or use it as a tractor?

Auction prices go all over the map, depends on where it is, what condition, what equipment, etc. Private party/dealer prices for good ones are $8,000-$12,000. But like all things for sale, you sometimes come accross a good deal. Post a wanted ad in classifieds, lot of SS members have such things...

Alex at www.idahomotorpool.com is going to take one of his 5-ton tractors and put a deuce bed on it, and big super singles in place of the stock 11.00X20's. When he gets it done, it will be posted on his website. I'm anxious to see how it turns out. The only thing it will be missing is a winch.

Go to www.idahomotorpool.com and you can see what Alex and his son do when they make the custom bobbed deuces. There should be some pics of them on the site with the big single tires, they really look nice, and are much better on snowy roads then the ND stock tires.

A little perspective might help here. You still get ALOT of truck for the bucks! A five-ton wrecker for under $8000? Try pricing a new or used civilian equivalent, at under $8,000 it was the bargain of the century! Yes, I too have severe 5-ton envy, I just have not figured out how to get the...

Good trucks will always command a higher price. There are lots of marginal ones out there, anything needing TLC should stay more stable price wise, but as more folks discover the hobby/addiction of the MV's, the guys with bucks will pony up more and more bucks to get the good ones. Idaho Motor...

There are lots of marginal M35's out there for sale, fewer and fewer good ones, folks that want a good one are willing to pony up the big bucks. As more folks discover the hobby/addiction of MVs, you will see the good ones escalate in price, while the marginal M35's needing lots of TLC will stay...

Makes me exhausted just reading about it! Glad you made it home ok!

Must be a simple case of just good clean living on your part rsites!

Thanks for the tip on the JD Cornhead grease Barrman! I have a leak on the passenger side, and don't really want to take it apart and replace the seal, and have it still leak. I have been wondering what to do, so off to Big Green to get the grease!

I wonder if there are any surplus deuces still around in Viet Nam, and of course with Thailand, there has to be some kind of surplus military stuff that the USA has given out or left behind at one time or another. I would check with suppliers and dealers of heavy trucks in Thailand, Laos, and...

Oh Great One- here is the info on the 5-ton: 1978 AMG M818A1 w/w. The ID# is: NL08PZ C329-10366 and the Ord Service # is 8736853. There are 29,926 miles showing on the odo, and 1,592 hours on the engine. There is no depot rebuild tag on the driver's side door/cab structure like there is on my...

Email Alex at www.idahomotorpool.com, I don't know if he can ship such tires over there or not, but it's worth an ask.

Well, I am wondering if a person can find what branch of the military it was assigned to and where it came from, mileage on the odo while at it's last station before being surplussed out , etc. I know the year, but the other info intrigues me also. It's a 1978 AMG M818A1 w/w. The ID# is NL08PZ...
