    How many quarts of DOT 5?

    Very good...I appreciate all of this advice. Problem is I don't know what's in there, and I've even performed the eyedropper in the water test, and believe it or not, the results were inconclusive. I just don't know what's in there and want to get it out. The brakes have worked good so far...

    How many quarts of DOT 5?

    I've read what posts I could find and want to go to DOT 5 brake fluid in my deuce. Anyone know what the system capacity is of the entire brake system. I want to get all of whatever is in there out.

    What?? No Cup Holder?

    I purchased a swivel holder from a marine supply shop in Houston, painted it OD and mounted it just to the left and below the glove box. Works good except when your styrofoam wine cup is REALLY full.

    My 1970 M35A2 is hard to start when it's cold...

    If the smoke is white there is a problem. If it's black you're better off. Turn on the accessory switch and listen for the in tank fuel pump to whine. I agree with above members; let it run a few seconds to build pressure. I also vote you need a filter change. I did a complete fuel tank...

    RT524 & MX-6707 Antenna setting?

    My question is somewhat related to this thread; I purchased an unused set of MX-6707/VRC antenna bases (same as in first post) and did so after researching some earlier posts that one could tune the bases to transmit C.B. radio by dialing to the 30-33 Mhz setting and then removing the bottom...

    Does anyone double-clutch?

    Heck, I use the clutch....but I do bump the throttle slightly when shifting and found that meshes much better. But then again my injectors are turned up, etc... Bottom line is I think a clutch is put there for a purpose.

    How many miles is an M35A2 and A3 good for?

    My 2 cents is that keeping the rpms down on the multifuel is the key to longegivity. If I want to speed, I'll take the jet.

    When starting, yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE"

    The winds this winter were blowing every bucket I put on the stack off. So I put an old vacuum cleaner base on the exhaust stack and voila!; I forget it's on there, leave, come back from the kitchen after about 5 minutes for the warm up and there you have it.

    When starting, yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE"

    I guess I'm the only guy that melted a friggin vacuum cleaner body down until I figured out it was on the stack; too late. Oh well. But hey, the engine lives on.

    Lighting upgrades

    Check out the Grote Industries website at Grote.com So far as I can tell, they have the real stuff; not a foreign knockoff. Found the site through some military websites I peruse now and then. But be advised I have not purchased the Trilliant light I referred to in a previous post, but I...

    HEMTT wheels modified for 2 1/2 ton...

    I think I need some of this. My rocky ranch road is tearing the poopoo out of my NDCs real quick. Where does one get the tires to fit these rims. Pm me if necessary.

    HEMTT wheels modified for 2 1/2 ton...

    Okay, I'm a neopyhte on some of this and an expert on the rest; but my question is: can you run these on a standard deuce? How much for the rims and tires. I'm an out the door guy.
